Fall (ON HOLD)

Chapter 17

NORA'S P.O.V.

Multiple thuds slammed at the broken down door.

"Princess," Joel laughed. I threw the sheets over my head quickly as the door creaked open.

"Get the hell away from me!" I screamed throwing an old bottle at Joel.

"No need to freak, princess." Joel winked slightly as he trudged to the left side of the old bed.

"Get up." Joel tugged at my hair harshly making me yell.

"Stop!" I screamed at Joel. Joel grabbed me by the hair and threw me off the bed.

"You need to be more obedient.." Joel screamed in my face. His beer breathe circulated the tiny room.

"I'm not your dog." I whispered under my breath.

"You will be." Joel grabbed my shoulder and threw me out of the room into the hallway.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Miguel appeared in the hallway wearing nothing but boxers. If I could go blind for a second, I would. I ignored his comment and followed Joel. It's easier to listen to them than be hurt by them.

"So princess. I hear someone is after us." Joel laughed as he gulped down a bottle of Vodka. I stayed quiet.

"Oh, I see. The 'quiet' game. I can play at this too." Joel grinned widely. Before Joel had a chance to raise his fist at me, multiple knocks were thrown at the broken down door. Miguel grabbed me by my hair and threw me to the ground.

"STAY QUIET." Miguel had placed his sticky hands over my mouth. I screamed loudly. Miguel smacked his hands over my mouth harder. I winced loudly.

"Where the hell is she?!" A familiar voice roared through the room.

"Who?" Joel acted calm like I wasn't being held to the ground by a kidnapper.

"NORA WHERE THE F**K IS SHE?!" The man screamed louder bursting Joel backward. Niall. It was Niall. Niall punched Miguel hard in the face careful not to hurt me. Niall reached for my hand quickly. I stood up and we sprinted out of the door.

"I.. I love you Nora. I know you... I know you don't feel the same way, but I love you." Niall said in between breathes while we were sprinting. We reached the large gate and flew through it. Niall and I ran to an open sidewalk so Joel and Miguel wouldn't be able to hurt me.

"Niall. I do, I do love you. So much." I placed a hand on his hot cheek. He pulled me closer to him by pushing my waste. He looked at my lips, begging for permission. I nodded yes, and his lips met mine. We stayed like this for what felt like minuets, but I wish we could stay like this forever. No matter how cheesy this sounded; it was true. I loved Niall. And no one, not ever, will change that.
