Don't Forget (Niall Horan)

Chapter 13: Lost Without You

Isabell's POV:

The past two weeks have been amazing. Liam and Dani have been helping me to get citizenship. Once I do that I'll get a job and my own place.

I'm pretty sure that Liam told Louis and Zayn about my cutting. Either way, the most alone time I get is the bathroom. Someone is almost always with me. That does of course provide me with a lot more alone time with Niall. He and I have been going out an awful lot. I was kind of happy that I didn't have a twitter account. Even without it I have seen stuff on-line. Mostly comments about my weight ( I know it's not as bad as they say) and how Niall and I won't last long because he "belongs" to other girls. Really I just do my best to ignore them. A few fans have actually come up to me. They congratulate me and say they hope it works out for us. Those absolutely make my day.

Today was different though. Jesy needed to use the restroom. Instead of waiting for her I let her know that I would be at her car. We just finished lunch at a quaint bistro down town. Her car was parked down the block.

A girl walked closely behind me. It made me nervous so I quickened my pace. Red flags went up in my head when she adjusted her speed to mine. I stopped and did my best to keep my breathing even. No way was I going to let fans bully me. Once she knew I wasn't scared she would leave me alone. The girl towered over me. She took my arm in hers as if we were friends and led me into the ally. "What the hell are you doing?"  I asked not so nicely and pulled my arm away. Obviously she did want to be best friends. Why should I?

"Shut up princess." The girl demanded. Her arms showed that she was not some little daddy's girl. This girl looked tuff, something that I didn't notice before hand. I'm not a wimp, but I'm not the strongest of girls either.  She shoved me against the wall. Niall had told me that the other girls had received threats but nothing like this had happened to them. "You need to leave Niall."

"Why should I?" I asked, trying to sound bold. Bravely I stared up at her.

"Because he'll dump you the minute he meets me anyways, so why bother?"

"You know that would only hurt him. If you care about him so much why would you want his heart broken?" Big mistake.

Anger flashed through her eyes. "Why would you even say that?" She slapped me. "It's not like a little whore like you really loves him." Sneering at me she continued. "He doesn't love you either, just wait, you'll see." Sense when are their fans so hostile? This girl obviously had some problems. If I slipped up here this could go from bad to worse quickly. Pain erupted from my side. The crazy girl punched me. "Just leave him or next time I'll do much worse."

"Hey! What's going on?" A familiar voiced yelled.

"Don't doubt me." She whispered before punching my gut once more. As she walked away she shoved Jesy and gave me a final warning glare.

"Isabell? What the hell the just happened?" Jesy pulled me up. "Bell, how hard did she slap you? It's like your face is made of memory foam." She lead me in the direction of her car and didn't say anything until  we were safely seated in it. Instead of talking to me she got on her phone. "Hey Liam, is Niall there? Yeah, put him on please. Just put him on. Hi Niall, it's Jesy. Can you come home? Yeah Perrie's taken me there a few times. Please I'll explain later. It is." She glanced at me as if to make sure I was still there. Not like I could go anywhere with her already driving. "Yep, ten minutes."

"Why did you call Niall? He's busy."

"Because I know what that was about and I know you won't tell him. That girl took it to far."

"It could've waited till later."

"Then you just wouldn't tell him. I know you well enough. Niall has to know about this. For his safety to." When she parked by Niall and Zayn's flat Niall was already waiting by the door. He jogged over to my door and opened it for me. "What happened?" His mouth hung open and his hand flew up to my cheek, stopping centimeters away from it. "Fuck Isabell, who hit you?"
