One Direction One Shots

Niall Nightmare

When Niall was younger, his father always came home drunk. He raped him, he beat him, he abused him in every way possible. After years of therapy, Niall finally forgot about his past life, until this day. The boys were all watching a random movie Louis chose and soon discovered the plot was about a boy abused by his father. Niall tried to leave but Louis wouldn't let him. That night, he had a nightmare. He gets made fun of for having a nightmare that wasn't even about horror. The nightmares continue until he finally breaks and tells the boys everything.

NIALL POV:
I'm sitting in bed when Louis walks in.

"Knock next time," I say.

"Yea, yea, yea, anyways, wanna watch a movie!? The other boys are already in the living room."

"Sure, what are we watching?"

"This random movie I found."

I chuckle.

"Ok."

I follow Louis into the living room and he starts the movie.

(This is not based on any movie I've seen, by the way.)

Immediately, it starts off bad.

A father is beating his child with a belt for refusing to buy alcohol.

Flashback
"Niall come here."

I come down to him.

"Yes father?"

"DON'T CALL ME FATHER I AM SIR TO YOU, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?"

I freeze in fear.

"Yes, sir, I understand."

"You little brat, now, go and get me some alcohol from a few blocks down."

"Mommy said I wasn't supposed to go that far."

"SHUT UP YOU BITCH, YOUR MOTHER DOESN'T MAKE THE RULES, I DO!"

He punches me in the face before I black out.

End of Flashback
"H-how long has the movie been going?" I ask.

"Dude, it hasn't even been five minutes, why are you asking?"

I look back to the screen. The child is still being abused. He's older than I was in my flashback, and stronger, but he's getting treated much worse.

After he blacks out, the father doesn't stop.

D-did my dad ever do that?

I don't wanna watch this movie anymore. I can't. I can't see this happen ever again to anyone.

"G-guys? I- can I go do something else, I- the dad- um-" I start but don't know what to say.

"Nope, you said you wanted to watch a movie with us," Louis says.

"B-but-"

"Shh, cut it out, we don't even know what the movie's about so far!"

I hesitantly turn my eyes back to the screen.

The kid that was abused is at school.

"Where's the bruise from the dad?"

"He had foundation, can't you see it?" I say, confused.

"No, I don't see it, do you guys?"

"Nope, just as confused as you are."

They look at me and I shrink into the couch.

Flashback
I go into the classroom.

Everyone stares.

"Oh, Niall, what happened to your face?" the teacher asks.
