unapologetic. (One direction fan fiction)

The sweat pounded down my face as I shoved a fresh batch of homemade brownies into the oven that wedged into the vintage kitchen perched onto the back off the bakery. 'The wee bakery' was my family's Irish bakery that lay in the small streets off mullinger, Ireland. I worked there every night after school and Saturday mornings,just for the extra cash.

It was summer and a Tuesday,a Tuesday that changed everything.

He ran in and leaped over the marble counter,grabbed me and spun me up in the air screaming "I DID IT!I GOT THROUGH!"

I couldn't have been more proud of my boyfriend then in that very moment!

"Conragts baby!"I said squeezing Niall tightly.

"I'm going to be on the xfactor babe,me! Can you believe it?" He replied.

Honestly I couldn't ,I didn't think Niall had it to get through despite the fact I'd never actually herd him sign as he's always been way to shy. But I was happy for my boyfriend ,who wouldn't be?

I spent the rest of my afternoon with Niall as he helped me in the bakery before even rushing off to tell his parents.

We were closing up the empty shop when Niall sat on the counter that had a dim shine to it of the street light reflection.

"Get down you goof! It's just been cleaned" I teased him as I brushed past for a kiss.

Just then there was a loud repetitive bang on the metal shutters out front,I glanced at Niall with a startled look.

"I'll go have a look" he whispered.

Niall heaved open the shutter to reveal the double doors at the shop entrance. A tall buff man in a black jacket and red beanie was stood at the door.

"Can I help you mr?" Niall asked the stranger

"Open up!" He shouted through the glass.

I knew something was up,by the way this man was acting. I discreetly slid out of view and dialled '999' into my phone.

"Hello,do you need police,ambulance or fir-" the voice down the phone asked.

"Police!" I interrupted.

"What's the address?" She asked.

"It's the wee bakery on tote street" I told the voice.

"Okay,the police should be with you any minute! What's your situation Darlin" she questioned me.

"There's a man trying to beat down the door of my families bakery,my boyfriends trying to stop him but he's not giving in" I nervously said peering back out front to find Niall still bickering with his new 'pal'.

"Is the man armed?" was her final question.

I took another glimpse out from behind the wall hiding me taking a good look at this arse hole, I froze In fear as my eyes scaled him up and down and stopped at his waist. A hand gun was sticking out his belt.

"Yes"I chocked up down the phone trying not to try,I hung up instantly knowing I had to get out fast and with Niall.

I edged out towards Niall but it was to late... The armed robber burst it through the glass doors,leaving blood everywhere and me and Niall crouched on the floor petrified we were unable to move.

As the man in black sprinted for the till,distant police Sirens echoed in the distance. That's when he pulled out his fully loaded gun and pointed it at me and Niall as we lay holding one and other on a bloody shop floor.

Finally blue and red lights flashed in the corner of my eyes ,the robber made a run for it with at least at handful of notes hanging from his pocket out the back of the shop.

I tried to get up to my feet ,but instead I broke down crying into Niall.

"Thank you,I'd probably be dead now if you'd haven't have been here with me,I love you!" I whispered in his ear in-between trying to catch my breath.

He squeezed me tightly until 3 police men climbed into the crime scene.

"Anybody hurt?" A deep voice calls out as a torch is shone onto our faces.

"No" Niall answered as we still lay on the floor in shock.

A good 45 minutes later after more police had arrived and several questions were asked, I rang my gran,she owned the shop and looked after me. She has done since I was 6 when my parents passed away in a brutal car accident caused by some drunk prick who'll ill forever hate.

"Gran?" I spoke down the line.

"There's been a brake in at the shop. Everything's okay now ,don't worry! I'm with Niall were going to come along and see you,okay?" I hung up trying not to worry my elderly mum figure.

Niall and I decided to make our way home, the police offered to drop us off. I thought it was a good idea especially at this time of night.
