Rescue Me (Niall Horan) (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 1: Monday Morning

Tara P.O.V

I woke up early this morning to get ready for school. Fun. I dragged my lazy ass out of bed and into the shower to wake myself up.

"Why the hell is school so damn early?" I asked myself as I showered. I live alone due to the fact that my 'parents' kicked me out on my seventeenth birthday.. Is that even legal? I don't know, but what I do know is that I'm better off without them.

I have a job down the road at a place called Nandos. I work as a waitress and make a fair amount in tips, which I use for food or necessities because my paychecks go entirly to bill let me tell you that being poor is not fun.

I washed my long, deep brown hair with shampoo and conditioner. As I massaging it in, I make sure I don't miss a single strand. I let my frustration out with a scream.

I'm very pist from lady night. My so called 'boyfriend' decided to show up late for our date, make me pay for the movie AND dinner, and even have the nerve to tell me that the date wasn't good and to 'try harder next time.'

I let a tear slid down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away and tried to forget last night. It was just an off night for him... Again.

I jumped out of the shower and wrapped my big, fluffy white towel around my dripping wet body and walked into my bedroom to choose my clothes. After pondering for about five minutes I finally grab my dark wash skinny jeans and white lace tank top.

I brush out my hair, leaving it wet, and throw it up into a ponytail. I apply my usual makeup, eyeliner, dark purple eye shadow, and mascara then I grab my school bag and run out the front door. I don't bother with breakfast because frankly I don't need any more weight. At last that's what my boyfriend Ryan says.

I get into my little red ford car that has quite a few rust spots on it. I can't afford much but I spent my entire childhood savings on this because without it I wouldn't have any way of getting around the city.

My ride to school is about a twenty minute drive, which yes it seems ridiculous because there is another high school only three minutes away but Ryan insists that I stay at Riverside. And I do not disobey him.

---------------------- Flashback----------------------

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY? YOU DO NOT TALK BACK TO ME!" Ryan screamed as he slapped me.

"I... I'm... I'm sorry." He glared at me with evil pulsing through his veins. His pupils were no bigger than the tips of pin needles.

"YOU'RE FUCKING PATHETIC!" He hollers. He continues hitting me in the stomach and kicking me when I fall down until everything goes black...

-----------------------End Of Flashback----------------------

That has only happened twice before. Now I'm very careful not to cross him. I pull up to the huge brown building. It's a decent size school. I pull into a space, grab my bag and hop out.

"Tara!" I heard someone call to me. I turn and find my best friend of seven years jogging over to me.

"Hey Taylor!" She pulled me into a hug.

"You're too thin... Did you eat this morning?" She accused.

"Yeah of course." I lied.

"You know I can always tell when you're lying. Why don't you eat! You weigh next to nothing!" She persisted. Tay was like a big sister to me, as she was a year older and always watched out for me. "And did that fuckup of a boyfriend treat you right last night?"

"Everything is fine Tay. Trust me." I give her my innocent smile that she just can't resist. She just rolls her eyes. When the Bell rings for first period I head to class. My days schedule is English, Art, Lunch, Ancient Civics, then Food and Culture.
