Mr. Foreign (Niall Horan Fanfic)

chap. 5

Tori's p.o.v

I was taking a shower when a heard a faint tapping on the wood of the bathroom door. I paused my singing of mrs. Potato head by melanie martinez, and replied, "who is it?" I waited a second before hearing a reply. "Who do you think? Mrs. Potato head? I'm coming in." I heard Melissa's light accent as I saw her figure sit on the counter through the fog of the glass shower door.
"I thought you left?" I could practically see her rolling her eyes. "What? You actually think that I would come here, see you with your boy toy, and not want to stay the night? Hah! Ya can't get ridda me that easy bitch" she scoffed.

I rolled my eyes, before replying sassily,"welp, at least I found myself my own 'boy toy'" . She gasped, sounding offended. "Hey! I have jimmy!" ... really? "Wait... you actually count that two timing son of a bitch!?" I asked, astonished. I still can't believe they havnt broken up yet. He has cheated on her too many times to count, and is definitely not boyfriend material. What he is is a perverted, cocky, dick head that is so not hot. What in the hell does she see in him?

"Hello? Hellloooooo! Earth to tori! Did you hear me?" I break from my mental rant and squint at her through the foggy glass. "Umm..?" She sighs heavily. "I said, Jimmy is not that bad. He takes care of me." It was a second before I replied. "Takes care of you? Hun, I hate to break it to you, but all he cares about is taking care of little jimmy. I wasn't gonna tell you, cuz I don't wanna hurt you, but anytime I'm with him, he nonstop hits on me, and very crudely at that."

There was an uncomfortable silence between us, the only sounds being the water running and her heavy breathing. Finally, she took a deep breath to reply, but before she could, there was another knock on the door. I loudly, in an annoyed voice, asked, "who is it?" I could hear a shuffling outside the door as a nervous reply rang through the bathroom. "Um, it's niall. If you're busy, I can come back ag-" Melissa cut him off, standing up from the counter and opening the door."just get your Irish ass in here. I'll leave you two alone." She rushed out the door, pushing niall in in the process.

Melissa's p.o.v

I walked into Tori's room, taking a shake breath before I pulled out my phone, punching in jimmy's number. I have avoided this for too long, and deep inside I know tori is right about jimmy, but I really don't want her to be. The phone rings a couple times before a voice replies, but it's not his. " who the fùck is this and what do you want, I'm bus-" her sentence was cut off by a loud, sexual moan. I could already feel tears welling in my eyes. Not again. I could hear the bed creaking over and over again in a rythm. I was ready to hang up, but I heard his voice. "Hey, slut!" He said breathily. I rolled my eyes. "Stop calling me that!" I half yelled, half whispered. I heard his cocky chuckle, before he replied "oh, right. Would you rather me call you my little bitch? Cuz you know that's exactly what you are." I felt a tear slip down my face as I took a shaky breath in. " you know what? Just fuck off!" He didn't need me to tell him to. He was obviously already doing that with this week's whore.

Tori's p.o.v

Niall cleared his throat. "Soo.... what's up with her?" He asked. I replied with one word. "Jimmy." He made an understanding sound and leaned back against the counter, right where Melissa just was. Before the silence between us could get too uncomfortable, I turned the water off. It had gotten cold in the time me and Melissa were talking. Before I even asked, he reached over and grabbed a fluffy white towel, opening the shower door just enough so he could stick his arm through and hand me the towel

I wrap the soft towel around me and open the shower door. A great shiver passed through me at the change of tempurature, raising goose bumps all over. I look up at niall, who still had his hands covering his eyes, and his body turned away from me. "It's safe, niall. I'm covered" I said with a laugh. He slowly spreads his fingers, peeking through the gap they made. He reminded me of an adorable little kid. Giggling, I pulled his hands from his face and kissed his cheek. I reached around smacked his butt, then turned and ran out of the door.

I ran to my room, bursting through the door and running smack into a sobbing melissa, holding a phone to her ear and pacing around my room.

She made an ouff noise as we both tumbled to the ground. The phone shot out of her hand and slid across the ground. The screen lit up and showed jimmy's name with a red ex emoji next to it. I shot up, grabbing the phone and standing in front of the door. As expected, Melissa shot up and tried to snatch the phone but I simply held it above my head, where she couldn't reach.

"Explain. Now." I said with a stern look. Her face became even redder and she turned away, shaking her head and bringing her thumb to her mouth to chew her nail. I tapped my foot impatiently but she just kept looking worriedly from the phone to me and back. I turned around and opened the door, yelling for niall and sticking the phone outside the door. Niall took it and I could hear him talking angrily into the reciever.

I turned back to Melissa and hugged her, letting her sob on my shoulder. When she could calm down enough, she sat on the bed and I walked to my closet, slipping on a night gown and dropping my towel. I walked back to the bed and sat down. I took her hands and put them in my lap. "Talk."

Tori's p.o.v

Melissa had cried herself to sleep. She had broken like a dam, and I was the one to catch all her pieces. Jimmy was gradually cracking her. Hitting her over and over until she finally crashed.

I was cradling her on the bed when niall knocked softly on the door. I called to come in and he slowly opened it, careful not to wake lissa. We had a silent conversation, and it ended with me slowly lifting lissas head and carefully slipping out if her grasp. I kissed her forehead and stopped in my tracks when she stirred. She simply turned over and sighed, and I let out the breath I was unaware I was holding. Niall grabbed my hand and we tiptoed out of my room, shutting the door softly and entering Niall's room.

I plopped on the bed with a sigh and he automatically began rubbing my back, kneading my shoulder blades and causing a low groan to escape my lips. He spread his fingers across my ribs and dug his thumbs into my spine. This continued for a while until I finally spoke up. "She really deserves this more than I do." He stopped a second, then continued while replying,"hm, why? Did you not just sit In there for an hour in a half listening to someone you love get broken because of something you warned her against so many times?" "Yeah, but-" "but what?" He cut me off. "You are one of the sweetest, most caring people I know, and I've only known you for two days. You are so beautiful and smart. You don't deserve to have to deal with all the stress you are put under. I don't know much about your past, but I know enough to tell when someone is given too much responsibility, and that someone is you."

He let his hands slide down to my waist and nuzzled his face into my neck, sighing softly. I reached up and tangled my fingers In his soft blonde hair. he tilted his head up slightly and nibbled at my earlobe lovingly. I giggled and swatted at him." Stahp iitt" I laughed. He groaned dramatically and plopped onto the pillows, pulling me with him. I turned my back to him and he put his arm around my waist, resting his chin on my head. I closed my eyes and let his comforting touch lull me to sleep.
