I Never Saw you coming(a niall horan story)

Six.

My eyes shoot open to the sound of yelling coming from downstairs, I groan loudly and sit up, surprised of the sound, my mother hasn't yelled since my dad lived her.

I got up and walk downstairs to see what is happening and the scene I see wasn't what I expected,

"What are you doing!" I yell when I see Justin holding mother wrist,

"Amelia go back upstairs." my mother sternly says and I shake my head,

"no." I say stubbornly,

"what are you doing wit my mum!?" I ask Justin with anger boiling inside my system,

"listen to your mother." he spits but his eyes never leave my mothers blue eyes and he stares at her with cold eyes that hold no emotion behind them,

"let go of her wrist."I tell him and I look at my mums eyes that are now tearing up,

"let go of her now!" I yell at him but he doesn't let go so I begin to hit him on the arm with all my strength,

"let go of her now!" I scream at him with all my might but he doesn't and then a second later his hand collides with my face and the stinging pain rises in my cheek and my mouth falls open in shock.

I look at my mother waiting for her to do something or even say something but she doesn't, she just stands there with a sad frown on her lips,

"Justin leave now." I tell him and a smirk plays on his lips that makes me shiver,

"get out!" I yell at him,

he lets go of my mothers wrists, as I hear the door slam shut I begin to calm down, I walkover to my mum and see her wrists a bright red and I hugg her tightly,

"please don't have him come back."I cry into her shoulder and she hugs me back,

"im sorry she keeps repeating to me "im so sorry. "and then I can hear her voice shake.

we both stand there crying for at least two minutes before i pull away and rub the tears out of my eyes and give her a small forced smile.

I walk upstairs and go to my room a fall onto my bed and take deep breaths and put my right hand to my left cheek and close my eyes for a second remembering the slap to my face, the pain is still there but its not as bad as it was before. I calm myself down before getting up and going downstairs. as I reach the bottom step, I spot my mom sitting on the couch with her head in her hands and I can hear her sobs.

These are the moments that make me feel sympathy towards my mother no matter how many times I deny my love for her I know that somewhere inside me I get it, I get her, all she wants is to have someone who will love her, I knew she desired that ever since my dad left I could always see it in her eyes she was never satisfied with my father no matter how much he tried to make things right she could never forgive the long hours of work he took on and the consistent yelling. she always goes back to Justin because she doesn't think anyone else will want her and I cant help to find that devastating no matter how much I tell myself she's crazy for loving a man like him.

I walk closer to my moms now shaking body,

"mum?" I ask and she looks up at me and gives me a sad smile and I sit down next to her,

" I hope you never take him back again." I tell her knowing she probably still will,

" I have tried so many time to make us right but every time it fails." she cries and I rub her back something that she barley ever did to me.

"mom its aright, he's not worth your tears." I tell her,

" he's the father of my daughter, I want my daughter to grow up with a father." she says and even though I know she didn't mean to hurt me with her word choice, she does,

my mother never made a effort with my dad it was always the same, my mum would start an argument and then my dad would argue back and at the end my father jut left but not once has my mother ever tried to repair their relationship for me not once and maybes that's the reason why I am who I am today.

" I understand that mom but he's not a good man." I tell her and she nods her head,

"your right." she says wiping her eyes and sitting up straight.

I stand up deciding it is a good time to exit the scene. I go to the kitchen and make myself a sandwich and then take out my phone , I need to escape this drama for one night so I text Audrey,

"hey can I sleepover?-Amelia" minutes later she replies,

"of course, come whenever you want-Audrey" I smile at her text and go to my room to pack my bag.
