—————

Sometimes I wish I would open my eyes and wake up from this dream ... or nightmare.

I stared at the gun being pressed to my chest. The metal object was only one inch further from my heart. I looked at him.
"You won't shoot me." I said quietly.
He pressed the gun causing my skin to burn a little.

"You shot me, I think it's only fair if I do the same." He said with an evil tone.
"I had to shoot you or you would shoot her." I said.
"I have to shoot you or justice won't be served."
I stared at him.
"Close your eyes." He said.
"You said you wanted to look at my eyes."
"That was a mistake."
"Look me in the eyes and shoot me." I challenged him.
He glared at me breathing heavily.
He won't shoot me, would he?

Niall slowly pulled the trigger, causing my breath to quicken. I tried to keep the eye contact and show him my bravery, but what if he actually shoots me?
But he didn't. Instead he pressed his lips to mine.

The world disappeared. I disappeared. Everything and everyone faded away. I closed my eyes holding his face. His other hand snaked around my waist and he pulled me closer to him inhaling deeply.

He licked my lips commanding for an entrance. I gasped once he squeezed my hips and he shoved his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues started to have their own battle. He pulled me even closer pressing me to his chest. I broke the kiss to catch my breath. He only let the air to enter my lungs for one second. Once again we started making out.

I was right, he won't shoot m-

Burnt. Flames. Fire. My chest was on fire burning in flames.

He shot you...

I looked at my bleeding chest with wide eyes. He smirked removing my hair from my face and leaned closer.

"It's only fair that you experience the same pain you put me through, isn't it?" he whispered.

An inch. An inch further from my heart or I would've been dead. I gulped.

"HELP" Niall yelled while staring at me with a cold expression.
"HELP" He yelled again.
People barged in.
"RILEY!" Tom shouted rushing toward me.
I kept my eyes on Niall. Shocked. Pained. Betrayed.

"Someone broke in trying to get rid of me. Him and Riley got into a fight and he shot her." Niall rambled acting scared. How did he come up with this stupid lie so fast?
"Where did he go?" Isaac asked.
"Jumped down the window." Niall pointed at the opened window.

"She's loosing blood." Tom said.
"Take her to her room. I'll call the doctor." Isaac said.
Tom lifted me up gently. The whole time I stared at Niall. Once I was out of the room he smirked at me and Lucas shut the door.

Deceived.

I opened my eyes gaining back my consciousness. I looked around but everything was still a little blurry. I blinked a few times my vision becoming clearer.

"Daphne." I tilted my head a little hearing my name.
"Tom." I whimpered in pain.
"It's okay. You're okay." He said holding my hand gently.
"I got shot." I said.
"Yes. The guys are looking for the guy who came after you two."

Oh. Niall really did sell his story. I opened my mouth to tell him the truth but a voice stopped me.

Don't do it.
