Like Dreamers Do (Niall Horan Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 35

"I wouldn't run if I was you."

The sound of the gun clicking to me indicates that I literally can't run away. He will most definitely just shoot me dead. No matter where I go, he will still be out there. This nightmare will still continue. And if anything, I need some answers.

Slowly I stop and force myself to turn around again, trying to steady my breathing but it isn't any use. Charlie's menacing grin is plastered all over his face as he holds the gun up at me, looking composed and steady with no remorse.

"Why would you leave so soon? Don't you want to know how I found you?"

I try to ignore my shaking legs and nod my head, a silent tear falling down my cheek as I keep my eyes firmly on the gun in his hand. Right now, my only chance is to go along with everything he says. If I do that, then maybe I might just be able to figure something out.

Charlie smiles and beckons for me to come closer to him. I let out a brief sob but agree, taking a tiny step forward as I watch his smile grow.

"You made it too easy for me." He grins, taking another huge step so that we are only about two metres apart now. I keep my eyes concentrated on the gun as my heart beat began to increase, my mind a total mess.

"The news reporters in Australia didn't bother hiding the fact that you had gone to live with your grandfather in London. It was all too easy for me to follow you here. The hard part was finding you after that. I thought it would be nearly impossible, but then I saw photos of you and young Lucy meeting that stupid band One Direction at a radio station. I thought that if I followed the band, I'd eventually find you. And then I did. I saw you at that club Code Zero, letting that black haired little shit put his filthy hands all over you. I mean why did you do that? Why did you let him touch you?!"

Charlie spits to the ground in rage, pulling one of the plants out of the ground with his freehand and throwing it across the room. I feel my fear rising to a level I have never felt before, and now I'm not scared of just dying. Because I don't think he's going to kill me anymore. I think he has worse plans for me, I feel like I'm going to be sick as my legs turn to jelly again. I take a small step back and feel the tears shredding out of my eyes now, unable to forget Niall and how much I need him right now.

Charlie heaves a muffled sigh and resumes his heavy breathing, turning back to me as he lifts the gun again.

"And then you saw me. I thought it would be simple for me to come and get you then, but it wasn't that easy. That band has the most intense security I've ever come across. So I bided my time. I waited until I could strike, and then I saw Lucy in the shopping centre. I couldn't believe my luck, the little girl who had been in the pictures with you was right in front of me. It was easy to get her to tell me about you. Where you would be on the weekends. What school you went to. About the One Direction boy you are choosing to waste your time on."

I want to stand up for Niall but I can't even open my mouth. I'm completely paralysed to the spot.

"I came here yesterday morning since Lucy told me you'd be here. And I heard you talking on the phone, saying that you had your school dance. It was perfect, we could finally be together at your school dance. All I had to do was show up at the dance, but you were too quick for me. I cut the lights so that nobody would see me take you away from those people, but you'd already left with that prick. I didn't know what to do then. All of my plans were ruined. But then I saw your faggot friend, the one named Taylor. He couldn't tell me where you were, so I took his phone to get your number. I sent you that text, knowing that you would do anything to protect young Lucy, and that stupid boy you claim to be in love with. I was relatively calm at that point. But when I followed your car to the hotel you and that boy were at - I was livid. I couldn't handle seeing you with him Elli, I couldn't. You can understand why I had to stab that security guard, can't you?"

I felt myself nodding my head lightly as my heart beat actually started to slow down a little. I was no longer scared, I was simply assured that I was going to die. There was nothing I could do about it now, I am simply paralysed with helplessness. Whoever this man is, whatever his reasoning for finding me - he doesn't like seeing me with other guys. And I can take a guess as to why that is.

"I knew you would understand. And I'm so glad you came tonight, I've been dying to talk to you for so long."

My breath gets hitched in my throat as I consider running again, but it's useless. I'll just be shot, then he'll run away and be free to do this to someone else. He'll probably find Niall and kill him too. It's just easier if I stay put, no matter how much I am shaking or feeling helpless.

"Who are you?" I breathe out quickly, my hands shaking as I keep my eyes firmly situated on the gun in front of me. "Why are you doing this?"

In front of me, Charlie gives a twisted smile and sticks out his tongue very quickly like a lizard, lowering the gun as he takes a step closer to me.

"When I first saw you at the cinemas back in Sydney almost six months ago, I knew there was something special about you. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I had to find out. I followed you for a month before it became too much, I knew I had to have you. Your parents were in the way, I had to get rid of them. You understand that, right?"

He was nodding his head over and over, gesturing with his hands for me to nod my head. I stood there completely petrified, my mind swimming over different images from that night.

I knew that he followed me to London. In the back of my mind, I knew that he had done that, no matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise. But I never thought he had an obsession with - me. That he's been waiting for me all this time, to have me to himself.

I need Niall now more than anything. I almost want to die, anything to prevent what might happen next. I can't handle this at all, I want to die now. I need to die.

"We're going to run away now. As far away as we can, just you and me. Without that boyfriend of yours." He grins, revealing a set of disfigured teeth as I let out a small whimper.

My skin goes cold and I feel all my thoughts slipping away as Charlie steps towards me, and I close my eyes as though to forget what is going to happen next.
