Rescue Me (Niall Horan) (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 12: Niall

Zayn’s P.O.V

"DID YOU JUST SAY NO TO ME!" I heard a guy yelling. He sounds really mad... I wonder why?

If someone was screaming at me like that I would probably punch him on the face, or kick him where the sun don’t shine.

 "YOU’RE NOT FUCKING SORRY! IF YOU WERE REALING SORRY YOU WOULD SHOW ME THAT! BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT!" I started to walk in the direction of the shouting. Whoever was being yelled at I wanted to make sure they were okay, no one deserves that. It was making me nervous. "WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING BITCH! I DID NOT SAY WE WERE DONE!"

I starting sprinting down the street and to my despair I saw a girl being held back by a guy of the same age. She looked as though she was struggling and wanted to escape, but he wouldn't let her. His hands gripped her small wrists, I couldn’t see the girl, only her long brown hair, but I could sense her fear.

"LET HER GO!" I yell jogging up to them. The girl turned around and I saw a huge purple bruise forming on her cheek, then I took a step back realizing who it was. "Tara? Oh my god!" I grab her, and pull her out of the guys grasp. I turned us around so I was between them and held a hand to her cheek. I could feel the anger boiling inside; "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO HER!" I turned around and took a protective step forward.

"Zayn no.. Get out of here... He-" Tara started, but the guy cut her off.

"I FUCKING KNEW IT! SO THIS IS THE BASTARD YOU'VE BEEN FUCKING!" He pushed past me while walking up to her and punched her in the gut causing her to topple over in sheer pain.

I think it was at that point that I lost it.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU BASTARD! YOU DON'T TREAT WOMEN LIKE THAT! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" I yelled as I held on to Tara. She tried to stand up, but failed to do so.

"I'm her boyfriend. Who the fuck are you."

Tara P.O.V.

God damn Ryan and his anger.

God damn Zayn for not walk away.

God damn men and their lack if ability to listen.

"HER BOYFRIEND!" Zayn screamed and released his grip on me causing me to fall farther to the ground. He quickly helped me back up, releasing what he did.

"That's right." I could tell by his voice he was smirking. "Now if you'll be so kind as to leave... We were just going to my house for her apology." I tensed up. What he wants my apology to be and what it’s going to be are on two completely different levels. Zayn felt my body rejecting Ryan so he spoke.

"She not going anywhere with you. Now go the fuck home and leave her alone." He spoke still holding onto my shaking body. I'm not gonna lie, it felt nice to have someone defend me like this... But I don't want him hurt.

"SHE'S MY FUCKING GIRLFRIEND! SHE BELONGS TO ME, NOT YOU!" Ryan yelled, tears started flowing from my eyes.

"SHE'S NOT AN OBJECT! SHE'S A PERSON WITH FEELINGS THAT YOU SEEM TO IGNORE! CAN YOU NOT TELL BY HER BODY LANGUAGE THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GO WITH YOU! HAVE SOMR RESPECT YOU INSENSITIVE BASTARD!" Zayn screamed at the top of his lungs. I looked up and noticed Ryan flinch slightly. Wow. Zayn actually had an effect on him.

"Fine." He turned to me. "You bitch, this isn't over. You won’t always have this piece of shit here to protect you. Your mine babe. Don't forget it." As he turned and walked away I felt wetness on my cheeks. Why was Ryan always like this?

"Tar.. Tara.. Are you okay? Was that really your boyfriend?" I simply nodded to Zayns questions. "Come on, lets go to the park now.' I nodded again. He left a protective arm wrapped around my shoulders as we walked.

It's the middle of May, most flowers have bloomed and most trees have budded. It's such a pretty scene.. Even in the clouds. Why did Zayn do what he did back there? He could have easily just walked away like I had told him, but no. He stayed and fought so I wouldn't have to go with Ryan. And I'm very glad for that. I don't want to know what would’ve happened if I went home with him...

Yes, I do still love him. That has never been the problem. It's only his actions that are in need of changing. One day he will do something I can never forgive. And when that day comes.. We will not get back together.

We walked through the park taking in the sights and sounds. We were in comfortable silence as we stopped and looked at a little lake that I use to come to as a small girl. We sat down and looked at the lake as the sun was slowly disappearing behind yet another cloud.

"How long." Zayn asked looking off into the distance.

"What?" I responded confused.

"How long has he been doing this to you." He spoke quietly. I sighed and looked out over the gleaming water and let my thoughts take over my words.

"He wasn't always like this. When we first started dating.. About two years ago... He was an angel. He took me out almost every night for dinner, place little notes in my locker, and send up romantic evening picnics along the beach. He was just perfect." I sighed at the memory. "But then I started making mistakes. It was always my fault. He would always yell at me and sometimes I never even did anything. It was always my fault. But he never hurt me. He only yelled... And yelled... And yelled. But about six months ago something snapped. He's only severely hurt me three times. Other than that its just a slap or something..."

I hadn’t noticed that by the end of my outburst I was in tears and Zayn was holding me. It felt nice. He acts like my big brother even though I’ve only known him a day.

"I just can't believe what a jerk he is... Why are you still with someone like that? You deserve so much better..."

"The thing is Zayn, I don’t deserve better. I may not like what he does, but I deserve it. I always have.." Zayn shifted so I was looking him in the eye.

"Tara.. You do not deserve to be treated like an object. You’re a loving and caring person and deserve the world. Nobody will ever be good enough for you." I just shake my head, his words are beyond sweet, but they are a complete and utter lie.

"Okay, enough about my life, tell me what's wrong... Why did you want me to come here?" His face immediately turned gloomy. I hugged him and he wrapped his arms around me.

"My best friend is missing..." I leaned back and gasped.

"What happened??" I was honestly in shock. How can someone just go missing... It kind of reminded me of Blondie’s situation, only he's the missing one...

"In was just over a week ago.. My band and I were at a hotel-"

"You’re in a band? Sorry for interrupting, but you just seem familiar.." Zayn smiled.

"I'm in a band called One Direction."

"Oh my god. I feel really stupid right now! I love your music! I guess I haven't seen enough pictures to recognize you guys instantly." Zayn laughed.

"It's okay. Thank you Tara, and its actually nice not to be recognized."

"Wait.. You said you best friend is missing... Is it one of the lads?" His eyes turned black with hurt. I watched as he remembered why we were here, and slowly a tear fell from his eye as he nodded. "I'm so, so sorry. You have such a huge fan base. It won't take long to find him. Um.. Which one is it?" I asked quietly.

"They don't care." He whispers.

"Who doesn't care?"

"Every person in this fucking world. The hate he gets in unbelievable! HE'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO DESERVE SUCH CRUELTY! THEY'VE BROKEN HIM! I JUST WANT HIM BACK! I WANT NIALL HOME!" He began to sob loudly. I held him and did my best to comfort him.

I feel really really guilty. I've never done anything to cause this, but the pain he's going though.. Zayn is hurting so much and I can't do anything about it. Niall... I can't imagine what has happened to him. I don't know which one that is and I feel I should... I need to help look for him..

"Zayn.. Do you have a picture of Niall?" I ask calmly, doing my best not to upset him more. He slowly nods his head and pulls out his phone. After scrolling through he turns it around for me to see.

I stopped breathing.

Niall is nothing like I could have imagined.

Niall is not how I know him.

Niall is Blondie.
