CHAPTER 5

 ~ ! ~DREAM~ ! ~

“And this one’s for you mother leaving, this one’s for being born, this one’s for screaming-“ My dad kicked me everytime he named something; getting more and more aggressive by the kick. The list went on and on and it never seemed to stop. When he was satisfied, he shoved me into my personal hell, A.K.A. my room.

He stomped downstairs and slammed the front door. In a matter of seconds, I could hear the car roar to life and speed down the street. He was obviously going to go drinking, and return to beat me. The wait was the worst; knowing he could be there any moment to beat you. Knowing if you did anything wrong at this moment, the beatings would be 10x worse for weeks. Then when he comes home, you can smell the alcohol on his breath and the smoke on his clothes. Do. Not. Scream.

I didn’t even hear him come in I was so lost in thought.

“LISTEN TO ME GODDAMNIT!” My father slapped me for the fourth time today. If it even still is today, I was so deep in thought.

The beatings would last longer each time; they would get more and more aggressive every time he would throw a punch, or rape me.

And I had to go through two years of that as a baby.

~ ! ~ END OF DREAM ~ ! ~

I woke up drenched in sweat. I shot up in bed when the thunder boomed. I looked out the window to my left, and lightening was continuously lighting up the night sky. Not a star in sight.

I always had mixed emotions for storms; they frightened me yet fascinated me. I looked down at Niall, he was still sound asleep. I didn’t want to wake him up, so I just lay in bed for hours till sunrise.

~7:00 AM~

I hopped down the cold steps, jumping towards the bottom. I did that every morning since I got to the orphanage. My feet padded against the cold floor on my way to the kitchen. I stopped in my tracks when I say Harry in the kitchen; trying to make breakfast but failing. He kept clutching his head muttering “Never drinking again…”

He looked up from his feet and looked into my eyes.

“Baby doll… I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it I don’t know why I did that. I’m so sorry” He whispered the last part. He had tears in his green eyes that begged for my forgiveness.

“It’s okay daddy…” I tried to sound confident, ignoring the voices in my head saying not to forgive him. But he was my father, and I needed to forgive him eventually weather I liked it or not.

All through breakfast he kept shooting apology after apology. I was truly getting annoyed and wanted him to just stop.

“Daddy I’m going to go see Zaynie!” I exclaimed. Zayn was the only one still asleep, and the girls already left. Thank GOD!

I made my way up the big stairs and headed to the first door on the right. I opened the door quickly and it slammed against the wall. Zayn just groaned and threw a pillow at me. I fell down to the floor with a thud from the impact of the pillow. Ouch! That hurt.

I started whimpering and had tears in my eyes. Zayn looked up from his slumber and when he saw me, he rushed to me.

“Nicola! I’m so sorry love I didn’t know it was you! Oh my god you have a nosebleed. I’m so so sorry!” Zayn examined my face and picked me up. He placed me on his hip and ran to the bathroom.

“Stay here I’ll get Liam to help me clean you up” Zayn told me.

After Liam and Zayn cleaned me up, I held both their hands down the stairs. I still wasn’t the best at stairs by myself.

“There you guys are! I was thinking today we could go get some ice cream down at the boardwalk!” Louis said as we entered the media room.

“ICE CREAM!? YES. NOBODY HAS A CHOICE LETS GO NOW!” Niall yelled at us. I just giggled and ran with him to the car.

I went in the car with Niall, Liam and Zayn. Louis and Daddy went in the other car because they had to pick Eleanor up at her place. Danielle was busy, Perrie was packing for tour, and Taylor? Well Harry kinda sorta broke up with her when he remembered the events of last night.

When we arrived at the boardwalk, there surprisingly wasn’t a lot of people here. The boardwalk was lined with shops and restaurants, with flats above them. There was about 5 ice cream shops within the first 5 minutes of the boardwalk. We all sat on a bench that gave us a view of the water. We heard Harry and Louis arguing as they pulled in. We turned around to see Lou and Haz arguing and El rolling her eyes at them. She crossed her arms and said something to them that I couldn’t hear.

“I just wanted to ride shotgun with you…” Harry said guiltily.

“Seriously guys shut up.” El said annoyed.

We spent hours laughing and shopping along the boardwalk, occasionally taking pictures with fans and signing autographs. Niall ate about 50 ice creams, I found out that I liked beavertails, and we all just fooled around. We even managed to get yelled at 5 times for almost breaking something. I climbed on about everything; but what can I say? I just love climbing things… But there was a lady with brown curly hair like mine following us around. She had a black hoodie on and sunglasses. She was really starting to scare me. It was around 6:00 pm and we were heading back to the cars. Lou was leading the line, him and El hand in hand. They were honestly the cutest couple ever! Suddenly Louis stopped and pointed to something a few feet ahead…

“OH MY GOD!!” Louis shouted.
