You & I (N.H)

Chapter 24 of You & I: Bad News...

(Nicole's POV)

I woke up to find myself on the beach but close to the jungle, I got up and stretched then looked around. I don't see Brooke or Callie, and I don't see the boys either. It's actually quite dark out so maybe I should find Brooke and Callie and go sleep where they are.

So I kept walking then found them sleeping next to one of the trees so I sat down next to them. Oh! I can also see Niall and the rest of the lads a bit further up.

So I laid down next to Brooke and began to fall asleep once again.

*********

I woke up in a small room, strapped down on some sort of chair. The light was turned off.

"Hello?" I asked confused.

Then the light turned on and I could see Katrina in another seat across the room, duck tape over her mouth. I saw a man there with a knife.

"Hello." He said darkly.

"Who-where-what, HOW?" I asked.

"Don't say anymore." He commanded.

He took his knife and started walking over to Katrina, then he placed the knife down on a table and brushed his hand over the top of the knife.

"I don't want to- let's just say hurt- you in this way." He said as a smirk grew on his face.

He walked over to a drawer and opened it, inside the drawer was a gun.

He's going to kill her.

He picked up the gun and held it to her neck, tears streamed down Katrina's face as she looked worried.

"Stop!!" I cried.

He turned around to face me, anger flashed across his face.

"I told NOT TO SPEAK!!!" He yelled the last part.

Then he turned back to Katrina.

"It'll be, over soon." I could almost see the smirk on his face.

I was tied to the chair so I couldn't move.

Then the door burst open and I saw Niall.

The guy pulled the trigger.

And just as he was about to shot Katrina, Niall ran in front of the gun.

Getting shot.

*********

I quickly sat up, I had tears in my eyes and I was shaking. I noticed the sun wasn't even up yet so it was still early.

As I was crying I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder I flinched then looked up into his blue eyes and blonde hair; Niall.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

I just cried and hugged him, he rubbed my back.

"Nicole what happened?" Niall asked me after a little.

"Katrina was there a-and there was-s this-this guy that was going to kill her and I-I couldn't do anything about it. Bu-but when the-e guy was about-t to-o shot her, yo-you came in and got shot instead. Niall I thought I lost you." I cried.

"Sh, I'm right here Nicole I'm okay." Niall soothed me.

I just cried into his chest as I continued to shake.
