They Don't Know About Us {punk n.h}

2. He Saved Me

Amy's POV

Friday Afternoon

Mom had picked me up from school and when I got home I got a text from Jess, she asked if I wanted to go out in town with Poppy and Claire. We texted each other the details and they were picking me up at 5PM.

I stood in the kitchen eating something before I left. I said bye to my mom and stepdad and then went to the girls

I had followed them to the car, I was full of excitement as we rode to the mall. We went to a lot of shops and small boutiques, and had a lot of fun together.

"Shall we go to a restaurant?" Poppy suggested. I looked at my watch. Shit! 9.20PM I'm late. "Uh, sorry, I can't go, I've gotta go home." I excused. "Doesn't matter, I'll give you a ride!" Jess said. "No, I'll walk, it's not that far." I said and waved goodbye to the girls and left.

I was a bit late so I took a shortcut trough an alley. It didn't take long before I got lost. I heard footsteps and whispering behind me. I started to get nervous and walked a bit faster, till I got into a dead end. I'm fucked. I turned around.

"Where you going, beautiful?" a voice asked. "H-home" I stuttered. "Oh I don't think so.." another voice said. The two guys came closer. One of them was very skinny while the other was rather chubby. "Can you please leave me alone." I asked as polite as possible, I didn't want to be in a fight with these guys. The guys both shaked their heads and came even closer to me. The skinny boy tried to pull of my denim jacket. "Let me go!" I screamed as my body started trembling in fear.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" a familiar voice shouted at the two boys who had blocked my way.

"What the hell are you doing here, Horan?" the guys asked. My heart started beating faster than it already was as I realized Niall "Getting your dirty hands off this helpless girl" he said. "Step away from her now or you won't make this out alive.." he threatened. "You think it's so easy?" the guys laughed. The chubby one took a knife out his pocket "You step aside, or she won't make this out alive" he said, emphasizing 'she', as he evilly smirked. "P-please don't" I pleaded as tears were streaming down my cheeks. Niall took one step closer which caused the chubby one to pul my head back at my hair and put the knife terribly close to my throat. That's it, I'm gonna die, just here. Killed by some sick piece of shit I didn't even know.

"Niall! Please help me!" I screamed. The skinny guy walked towards me with an evil grin on his face. "Is he your little boyfriend?" he whispered in my ear. I let out a small sob and shaked my head. "N-no" I stuttered.

While the guys were both focussed on me Niall took his chance. He swiftly took the knife from the chubby one and stabbed him in his thigh with it. Then Niall grabbed the other guy's waist from behind and threw him to the ground. They both laid on the ground and tried to get up.

"Are you gonna leave us alone now, or should I ?" Niall asked the guys as he pushed them to the ground so they couldn't do anuthing. "Y-yeah" they said. "Good. Now, if you ever bother another helpless girl, you'll be dead" Niall threatened.

He let go of the guys and they crawled away as quick as they could.

I felt rain dripping on my face as Niall put his leather jacket around me. "I'll take you to my flat, you'll be safe there." Niall said.

We were at his flat in less than five minutes of walking in the cold air. Niall opened the door and when I walked in I immediately smelled the stufocating combination of cigarettes and alcohol. We didn't say anything. Niall took back his jacket and gave me one of his shirts to wear. "Here, put this on." he said. I changed in Niall's clothing, which, no surprise, smelled like cigarettes. But trust me, it was hot.
