Need you now (One direction fanfic)

Prologue

Flashback

~~~~~~~~

"Cassidy, how about you go and meet our next door neighbors."

"Fine mom!" I said back.

My mom, my new step-dad, and I all moved to Ireland, all the way from the U.S, and we finished unpacking so my mom told me to go and meet our neighbors. I didn't feel like it but I did. I got off my new new laptop I got, went downstairs, and slipped on some flip flops, walking outside next door. I rang the doorbell and waited for a while then a boy, around my age answered the door.

"Um, hi, I'm Cassidy, your new next door neighbor." I held out my hand.

"I'm Niall, nice to meet you!" He said, he had a very thick, Irish accent, he must have grown up here.

"Nice to meet you too, so how old are you." I tried starting a convo.

"15, how about you?"

"14."

"Cassidy, since your new here, and don't have any friends, I assume here, so you want to hang out?"

"Sure!"

"Great, here come in." He stepped beside and gladly let me in.

Flashback 1 1/2 years later

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm going to miss you so much Niall!" I cried into his shoulder.

"I'll miss you too Cassidy!" His voice was weak from crying too.

"But at least your living your dream."

"Yea." He said whipping tears from his eyes.

"Have fun, and send me letters so we can stay in touch." I whipped the tears from my eyes now.

"Ok." He gave me one last hug before he left on the plane.

Present day.

~~~~~~~~~~

I pulled out one of my old letters I got from Niall. It helped me feel better. Even after a long day of being bullied, and abused, it helped me. I read it.

Dear Cassi,

I miss you so much! It's hard being away from home. I'm so glad that we have been able to communicate from even being so far away, it helps me feel better talking to you. I hope you have been watching our tour on tv seeing us preform, we have gotten so much better. I hope we win. I can't wait to hear from you again! And to come home and see you again! Please write back quick!

From,

Ni

I read it and smiled. Remembering the time when we received letters from each other almost everyday. A time that I was happy.

I heard footsteps coming upstairs. And I hid the letter under my pillow.

My step dad slammed the door open.

"Whaaat are yooooouu dooooinng?" He slurred.

"Thinking."

"About what?" He sneered.

"Just school."

"It's not just school!" He said punching me in the mouth making me bleed.

He must have saw the letter because suddenly he looked at my pillow. He lifted it up and grabbed the letter.

"This is what you were thinking about, that stupid boy who left 3 years ago."

"2 and a half." I mumbled, luckily he didn't hear.

"Stop worrying about him, he doesn't want to talk to you any more, He probably doesn't even remember you!" He yelled raising the letter.

"Don't!!!" I screamed and with that he ripped it, and ripped it and ripped it until it was 20 little pieces on the floor.

"Now you won't have anything to remember him by, so you won't miss him!" He said shoving me on the floor.

I bit my lip to hold ing crying, because if you show weakness to him, he will beat you, hard.

"Don't try to hold it in!" He yelled kicking me in the stomach.

I let out a whimper.

"Don't be a baby!" He kicked me in the face making my nose bleed now.

"Now, no more thinkin about him!!" He yelled walking out of my room and slamming the door.

My life has changed a lot since Niall left. And I Need him now more than ever.
