Rescue Me (Niall Horan) (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 3: One more year

Tara P.O.V

"And there you are madam. Have an enjoyable evening!" The nurse called as I left the room.

"You too!" I called back. My arm had to have twelve stitches, and other then a lot of bruising I was fine. I didn't have any internal bleeding, anything broken or even sprained. I was so relieved.

I was walking down the hallways to find an exit when I stopped.

I just haven't been able to get that boy I found in the alley out of my head. I know thinking about other guys is wrong when I have a steady boyfriend, especially one I don't even know, but I just can't help it.

He had a hypnotizing trait about him that lured me in. I wanted to know what happened. And at the very least make sure he was going to be alright.

I turned around and looked for the nurses station in the emergency department. I walked over to the desk and asked,

"Do you um.. Know the condition if the boy that was brought in by ambulance about forty five minutes ago?" She looked up at me.

"Uh.. We have no current update on his condition. If you wish you may return tomorrow and we should know more by then." She smiled at me. I don't know why, but I agreed.

I felt very... What's the word? Protective of this young lad. I felt myself growing more and more curious of him. I wanted to know more about him. I wanted to know why he was attack, I want to know his personality, his background, everything!

For a very strange reason he intrigued me and I don't know why. I looked at the clock. It was just after eight at night. I knew it was a long walk to my house from the hospital so I decided to call Tay.

"Hey Tara! Whatsup?" She asked.

"Can you come pick me up? I'm at the hospital and its way too far to walk."

"Yeah sure no.... Wait. WHY ARE YOU IN THE BLODDY HOSPITAL!? I SWEAR TO GOD IF HE LAID A FINGER ON YOU..."

"Calm your face Tay. I'll explain everything later. Just come." I sighed.

"Fine. I'll be there in about five minutes. Meet me by the front entrance."

"Okay. Love ya Tay!"

"Love ya too bye!"

"Bye!" I hung up and made my way to the front doors. It took me a while to find my way out of the confusing maze of endless halls but I did it. When I reached the outside I saw Tay. I jumped into the passengers seat and looked at her.

"Now tell me what the hell happened to you." I sighed.

"Well... Ryan apologised at lunch and asked me out and I forgave him and said yes." Her eyes became enraged as she stared intensely at me.

"Tara. Listen to me. HE'S NEVER GOING TO FUCKING CHANGE SO GIVE UP! YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS! YOUR FINE ONE MINUTE THEN THE NEXT YOUR FUCKING BAWLING YOIR EYES OUT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT HES DOING TO YOU! HE ABUSES YOU TARA! MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?" She yelled at me. My eyes began to water.

"I.. I... Uh... I'M SORRY OKAY! I'M A FUCKUP! I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT HE IS THE BEST I CAN DO! I'M A FUCKED UP KID WITH NOTHING GOING FOR HER TAYLOR! TRY AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM DOING THE BEST I CAN! I KNOW WHAT HE DOES! HE FUCKING BEAT ME TONIGHT YOU KNOW! I BARELY ESCAPED! YOU KNOW WHAT THE LAST THINK HE YELLED TO ME WAS? This isn't fucking over." I bursted into tear. Unable to contain my emotions I began screaming and crying madly. I hugged my knees and just let go. I can't handle this anymore.

"Shh.. Shh.. It's okay.. I'm sorry I yelled.. And you are not a fuckup... He is. You can and will do better. I promise." She cooed and held me. "Now let's get you to your flat." She said as she pulled away.

I watched out the window of her black Ford Escape at the huge brown building growing smaller in the distance. I looked knowing I would be back tomorrow to see the condition of the man I had found.

I had this weird feeling inside, it was like I needed to know he was going to be okay. I wanted to know his story. He was in an alley.. Left there to await his cruel fate, but I found him and got him to the hospital. Shouldn't my part be done?

No. I needed to see this through. Whatever 'this' is. I will help him through this like any human should. But who will help me in my time of need? I'm worthless and need to take charge of my life but I can't unless Ryan is out of my life for good.

If I tried to break-up with him there would be hell to pay and I knew it. So there is no point in trying. Maybe he will get bored of me and dump me.

Oh how I wish.

"Were here Tar. You've been daydreaming the whole time. Are you okay?" Tay asks. I put on a fake smile

"Of course!!" She hugs me goodbye and whispers in my ear,

"I can tell when your lying. Stop keeping

it in. Now get some sleep. I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Thanks Tay. Bye!" I called as I hopped out and made my way up to my flat.

As soon as I got in a changed into my red onesie and jumped into bed. It was still early but I was so tired. I laid in thought about my life.

Ryan. I need him out of my life. I need to get away from him and his anger management problems. If I tried to break up with him he would just hurt me... Maybe if I break up with him over text? Facebook? Even Skype would be better then doing it in person.

What about just changing schools and moving... I could just disappear. Yeah.. I like that idea. But I can't do something like that to Tay. I know he would take his anger out on her. He's threatened her when we were fighting. That's why I've always given in so easily. It's not her fault my boyfriends a dick.

Only one more year. One more year of high school, one more year until I'm eightteen, one more year until my life can change.

One more year until I can finally be free. Free of school, free of Ryan, free of this prison called life.
