One More Time

Chapter 16

Taylor's POV

"N-niall." I whispered as Damian continued kissing me. He didn't look angry at Damian. He wasn't mad at all. He looked hurt, and sad. No one moved. Damian finally got off.

"Hi there." He smiled "I'm Damian, and sorry for the inconvenience of me making out with your girlfriend." I started crying. "Did she look like she was enjoying it. I think she did." He smiled again.

Niall slowly walked over to Damian and looked him right in the eyes. "No." He muttered one word and punched Damian in the face. The police had showed up a minute after us and surrounded them. "Someone take that Fucking douchebag to a room." He said shoving him in their direction. They locked him in the bathroom.

"Why did you go to him?" He refused to look me in the eye. But I didn't answer. I didn't want to say anything I felt too scared. I didn't want to cry I didn't want to be broken. I just pulled against the ropes on my hands. "Taylor." He said but I said nothing. "Taylor please talk to me."
He walked over to me and untied the ropes. I got up and looked at him. The tears in my eyes matched his. He tried take my hands but I pulled them away.

A police man approached me. "Can you tell us exactly what he did to you?"

I shook my head slowly sobbing. Kelsey then came over to me, and rubbed my back. I looked away and a policeman looked at me again. "Can we take you home miss. Nelson?"

"Yes." Kelsey answered for me I was escorted out and into a police car, then driven home.

I walked into my apartment and couldn't help but cry a bit. It was so safe and nice I here. I walked up to my room and went to shower. I let the water run as I undressed. As I got in I started washing my body. "Ahhhh!" I cried as I touched my wrist with soap.

"Taylor? You alright?!" Niall called from outside the bathroom door.

"Fine!" I lied in return and finished up. As I got out the blood stopped and I got dressed. I put on a hoodie to hide the marks on my arm.

I just stood out on my balcony. I thought I was alone until I felt strong arms wrap around my waist. Soft lips touched my neck. I gasped a bit, getting nervous. Anything felt like Damian. I gripped the balcony railing.

"Taylor.. Are you okay?" Niall asked. I turned around slowly to see only my boyfriend standing there. I shook my head. No I wasn't okay I felt empty.

"Taylor talk to me please." He begged.

"I.." I tried to form something coherent. "I don't know what to say." I said, my voice breaking. "I missed you." I managed to get out.

"God Taylor.." He said and pulled me into his arms. My arms wrapped around his neck. "I missed you too baby." He whispered and stroked my hair slowly. "But you're okay now.. You're safe here with me I promise."

"I know... He.. He."

"You don't have to tell me"

"He was awful Niall. There's something wrong with him."

"I know. No decent human being would ever do what he did to you I know something is wrong trust me." He said. "Come inside get something to eat baby." He said, taking me inside.

I realized that there was blood on my towel on my bed. I covered my mouth.

"What is that?" Niall asked concerned

"It's from my shower..." I said.

"How?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around my stomach.

"Ah!" I winced. He let go and whipped me around. He touched my stomach and I winced. He slowly lifted my shirt.

"What happened?" He looked me in the eyes.

"Damian."

"Ok I have to take y-"

"No. I'm not going anywhere." I stared him straight in the eyes.

"Ok. Not broken is it?"

"No."

He relaxed. "How are you wearing that it's really hot in here." He pulled off my jacket. I quickly hid my cuts under my hand. He noticed. "What now?" He pulled my hand away.

"Did y-"

"No." I looked away.

"He d-"

"Yeah." I sighed. "C-can I just go to bed?"

"Sure. But please eat something tomorrow." He said. I nodded and he kissed my head, Then he walked out as I changed into my pajamas and laid down. I fell asleep pretty soon. I was tired from well, everything. I woke up in the middle of the night to arms taking ahold of my waist. I froze. Damian did that too. Whoever it was felt me tense up. They pulled away."S-sorry." Niall's sweet voice came from behind me.

"No. It's ok." I laid my head back down.

"M-may I?" He asked kindly.

"Yeah." I nodded. He slowly put his arms back around my waist and we fell asleep in each others arms.
