Rescue Me (Niall Horan) (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 24: Confused

Tara’s P.O.V

Life seems so complicated. Just one rash decision and your entire life could turn out the complete opposite as you thought. It is really hard to believe that a month and a half ago I was living a normal routine of school, work, and putting up with my boyfriend.

Then just by chance, I found Niall. I called 911. I went to the hospital with him. I came back the next day. I agreed to let him stay.

I never agreed to break up a world famous band.

That is exactly what I’m doing if I stay. The boys are at each other’s throats… All because of me. I can’t say that I am regretting coming here, because I’m not. But I feel an overwhelming amount of guilt and distress.

I just want answers. Why do they hate me? Why do they insist on believing Ryan over their bandmates and best friends? Why does being around each boy give me a different feeling? Why can’t we start over again?

“What are you thinking about love?” I look to my right and find Niall staring at me intensely. I just shake my head and stand up.

“It’s not important. Um, which room am I staying in?” I ask nervously. It’s only mid-afternoon, but I just want to lay down. I can feel a headache coming on and I’m feeling slightly light headed.

“Come on, I’ll take you there.” He stands beside me and hold out his hand. I accept and he takes me down a short hallway and opens the last door on the right.

My mind flickers to Ryan and how everything he has done brought me to this moment. I am here with Niall, and I feel so free. But on the down side of this, Niall and Louis are at odds with Zayn, Harry, and Liam.

Liam is doing his best to stay neutral, but I can easily tell he distrusts me, but I don’t blame him. If I was them, I wouldn’t trust me either. I just need to figure out how I am going to earn their trust.

“This is going to be a battle Tara, but I think you already know that.” He states as we sit on the end of the bed. I nod.

“There has to be some way to get your friends to understand that I’m not the bad guy. I just don’t want to come between you and everyone else. I’m not worth it.” I look him in the eye. He grabs my hands and caresses them gently.

“You are just as important to me, okay Tar. You saved me, you helped in my recovery. I feel like I’ve known you a lifetime, when in reality it hasn’t even been two months.” I smile gratefully at his kind words.

“Thank you. You helped me through a lot, if you weren’t there for me and made me realise how horrible Ryan treated me… I would still be with him. My heart still hurts when I think of him, but it’s not because I love him. It’s because he has caused so much pain.” I take a breath after delivering that heartfelt speech.

I look up at Niall and I’m instantly filled with warmth. He has such a caring and kind sprit. I never thought it was possible for a guy to give so much that you can’t help but feel special when he’s near. He treats you like you’re the only person in his life. He does that, not only to me, but to everyone. He is perfect.
