My Saviour

Chapter 2: Niall

Beep Beep Be-

I quickly turned it off before it woke them up, and by them, I mean my family. They don't like me very much ever since I 'came out' to them two years ago. I didn't really. I just told my then friends and they outed me in front of the whole school and then told my father knowing that he is homophobic. They started bullying me and painting my locker with pretty, colourful words and my family, besides Greg, started abusing me.

I got out of bed and started with my morning routine. I finish quickly and literally ran out of the house but got  stopped by my brother who forced me to eat an apple 'I know you wanna get out of here as soon as possible, but please eat something' he had said.

I left the house after  eating the apple and started on my way to school. But of cause, it wouldn't be a wonderful day without my friends greeting me by throwing junk at me. I love my friends. Not.

I got to school and hid in one of the abandoned rooms the jernitor gave me, he's gay and he wanted to help me, which made me late for class, but at least I didn't get a beating this morning.

"Why are you late, Mr Horan?" Oh you know, my mother told me to go to hell, took a while but I'm here "I ov-""detention after school". He didn't even let me finish, and there's your proof that even teachers hate me because being gay is a 'sin'.

Let's skip all the classes and go straight to lunch. I know you would love to hear how they harrased me throughout them, but it was just the usual tripping, throwing papers at me. You know, the cliché.

I walk down the hallway to my locker and I ignore all the words written on it. I put the books back and then take out the ones I will need after lunch. I then made my way to the cafeteria.

I get bumped into and shoved away. I really hate this school. I slowly walk further down the hallway and see that my bullies are waiting for me. Yay, we're gonna have a party (please note the sarcasm). My life really sucks.

"We've been waiting for you, Princess" Darren said. He, along with his followers, Josh and Noah were my friends. Josh and Noah just follow Darren around like a lost puppies everyday.

"You're coming with us" he said. I just let out a sigh and went with them because if I tried run away, they would easily catch me and it would be worse.

We get to the toilets and they lock the door. "Let's get this over with" he had said before they started hitting me. I just curled into a ball and took the beating.

They got bored after a few minutes and left, I lay there for a while before getting up and skipping the rest of school.

I went home to slept a little, and luckily I found no one there.

I woke up a few hours later and decided to text Alex, my only friend. He's the only one I can talk to without hiding who I am but I never told him about the abuse.

Just then, Greg walked in with a plate of food. It was toast with nutella this time. Greg always sneak in food for me after they went to sleep.

"Hey baby bro." He greeted. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Thanks." I said as he gave .e the plate. I love my brother and I don't think I have told him that recently. I started eating and we just talked about random topics that came to mind.

"Thank you." I said when we were just laying on my bed in comfortable silence.

"It's no problem, baby bro. I love making you food." He replied with his eyes closed.

"Not just for the food." I said as I sat up straight." For everything. For convincing them to let me stay here, buying me clothes and not abandoning me like everyone else."

"I love you, niall, and I can't always protect you from all these people. You're my baby brother and I'll do anything I can to make you happy." He said

"I love you too Greg." I replied. We played down and drifted to sleep.

------------------------

I woke up with a jerk, I looked around and saw that I was alone. Greg always wakes up before me. I tried remembering the dream I just had. What was I dreaming about that scared me like that? I can't remember it. It's not uncommon for me to have nightmares so I just shrugged it off knowing it was just that. A nightmare

I looked at the clock and saw I had 10 minutes before I have to wake up. What's the use of going back to sleep now?

I got out of bed and picked my clothes for the day and went to shower. I did all that jazz and went to get my shoes on. The door opened as I was trying my shoes.

"Breakfast is served." Greg gaid as he came unto my room.

"Thanks." I said with a small smile

"No problem, bro. Just leave the plate in here and I'll get it later." He said as he walked out of my room.

I quickly ate and then made sure my room is presentable. I was about to walk out of my room when I remembered something. A blue book that didn't look special at all, but was the most important thing to me. I went to get it then walked downstairs. I wish I hadn't

Both my parents were in the living room and I had to walk past them for me to reach the door. I took a deep breath and tried to casually walk out. I didn't work

"Well well well, look what the pussy dragged in: another pussy." Father said. Mother had a bored look on her face, as if I bored her to death. I wouldn't be surprised.

I just stood there and waited for for something to happen. I then saw movement out of the corner of my eye, it was Greg who was in the kitchen.

I saw father slowly getting closer as if stalking his prey. He was at arms reach and was about to get me when we heard a crash and swear words. They stopped and rushed to the kitchen to check if their son was okay.

Thank you, Greg. I thought as I ran out of the house. I ran and ran and to be honest, I had no idea where I was going. Suddenly, I felt a huge pain on my left side. I look to the left and saw a car reversing and speeding away.

I then let darkness consume.
