Running from Direction~ Niall

Chapter 9

"Oh my god Leah what happened to you?!?" He ran over to me and held my face in his hands. He examined my lip, and then my shoulders, and then my legs.

"I......." I didn't have time to answer. Ben had a look of terror in his eyes as he pulled me into the hallway where the bathrooms were. Once we got there, he delicately put his hands on my shoulders. He looked down into my eyes, and I stared up back into his. He was much taller than me, and he made me feel safe. His voice was a shaky whisper now and his hands trembled as he spoke.

"L-L-Leah......" His voice trembled as bad as his hands. "Who did this to you?"

"Ben I-"

"No." he cut me off. "I won't let this happen to you again." He held me in his arms. "I'm so sorry..." He repeated over and over again.

Then he kissed me.  And I kissed him back. I couldn't help it. I let myself fall. My hands snaked around his waist and I pulled him closer to me.

I didn't realize how long we had been kissing until I remembered Niall. I pulled back away, but Ben kept kissing me.

"Ben......" I put my hands on his chest and pushed a little. He opened his eyes and backed off. I turned, only to see Niall standing in the hallway, glaring at Ben. Oh boy.

Ben was one of the most......out of control, easily tempered kind of guy. He had a reputation for almost killing people in fights. Which, I might add, was every day. Ben had beaten people up before for just looking at me the wrong way.

I started to walk down the hall to where Niall was standing. I could see the last of the sun setting down as darkness started to fill the sky. Niall grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door. Ben Yelled and ran after him. We were outside now. Oh boy. Here we go.

"You put her down, NOW!" Ben screamed. Niall stopped and let me go. He slowly walked over to where Ben was standing.

"Niall, No..." I cried, remembering what he was capable of. He turned to look at me. His eyes were a faded blue, and getting darker by the second.

"Just..........go."

"Bu-"

"GO!" He yelled. I did as he said and got in Ben's car.

"You're not leaving without me." Ben yelled. He ran and got in the driver's seat. As Ben pulled out of the driveway of the restaurant, I looked out of the window at Niall. Cold, dead, black eyes stared back at me. Tears rolled down my cheeks as he fell to the ground and layed there, motionlessly still.

"No! No no-no-no! Niall." I whispered through my tears. He slowly faded away into nothing as we drove off.

What had happened to Niall? I don't know. Was he dead or did he just faint? And how? Why did his eyes change color? Who was he and why did he have to  come into my life? I had a million questions. But I had one question running through my head that wouldn't go away: Would I ever see him again?
