Audrey's POV;
I scrambled for Niall's hand, locking it to mine. I reached for the back of his neck, pulling his face to face me,
"Ni, I think he's is here."
Niall's face instantly grew tense.
"Who?"
"Cole. I think Cole is here."
"Where?"
His hand tightened around mine, and his eyes grew frightenly dark with anger.
"The car, he was at the car."
Niall began to pull me closely behind him, swiftly.
I could feel my heart racing. It felt as if it was about to beat out of my chest. I was scared, for myself, Niall, and Natalie. There is absolutely no telling what they are capable of.
NIALL's POV;
I had to get her out. Now. If he knew I was with her, he would kill her. In a heart beat. He can't know.
I pulled Audrey close behind me, afraid of what it would feel like if she wasn't close right now. We came upon a street scene if people dancing to some Irish folk songs that had been modified to modern versions. I spun her around and began to dance with the crowd, scanning for any sign of Joseph, Cole or anyone that may be associated with them.
"Baby, I need you to stay really close to me, and stay strong. Okay?" I whispered into her ear. Her hair ruffled into me, a gesture of understanding.
We danced with the towns people, trying to blend in, but I saw him moving closer.
"You need to run. Run down this street and Walls is just around the corner. Run the whole way, don't stop. I'll meet you there in an hour. Tell Nat what happened, and tell her I said for you to go back to the safe room. Okay? I love you, be careful," I whispered in her ear again. She nodded, and I pulled my face away for a good look into her eyes. And I kissed her soft lips, just to remember how it felt.
"Go," I commanded, "now.'
She was gone, and I watched Cole search through the crowd, looking for blonde hair, and he had found mine. I saw his arm raise, a gun placed in his right hand, pointing toward the direction Audrey had just ran.
"NO!"
I ran toward him, throwing all of my strength toward him, tackling him, forcing him to the ground. The bullet was shot from the barrel of the gun, all of the towns people screamed, and ducked down. I saw her hair flicker around the corner. She was okay.
"I don't think so, bastard." As I punched him in the face.
Joseph started to make his way toward me, trying to throw a punch, I grabbed his fist, and twisted his arm behind him, and thew him on top of Cole. People's gasps filled the air, as they watched the sight. Police showed, and the chief nodded to me, so I ran back to the car, started it, and began to drive. I knew someone was going to follow me, so I drove out of town.
Audrey's POV;
"Nat! Nat, Niall told me to run here, and to go to the safe room, he said he would be here in an hour. B-but I-I heard a gun shot and I don't know if it got anyone or what happened, Nat, please; I'm scared. Please."
Natalie ran to me from behind the counter, wrapping her arms around me, holding me.
"N-Ni will be fine, okay sweetheart? My boy is strong. He's gotten out of some pretty bad scrapes, he'll be fine.. Come on, let's go to the safe room, and I'll close the shop and get us some coffee. O-okay?" She responded.
I nodded, and she began to hurry me to the safe room. I sat on the ground, and wrapped the coffee bean bags around me, gathering warmth in the ice cold room.
"I'll b-be right back, I um.. I just started a pot of Carmel drizzle.. Your favorite.. I'll be right back.."
I nodded again, squeezing my eyes shut, tears erupt from them. My heart stopped as the thought if Niall being hurt, or even dead, entered my head. I started gasping for air, searching for some hope. It can't be.. It just can't.
Natalie opened the door to the safe room and took a deep breath. She seemed calmer, a little more relaxed.
"He's gonna be okay.. You two.. You will be okay, and... I'm going to support you.. I shouldn't have acted the way I did before..".
Niall's POV;
"Come on, baby.. Answer the phone.. Please.. Answer the phone!"
My palm met The steering wheel with force, as tears began to sting my eyes. Do I really know if she's okay?
