My Good Luck Charm

Chapter 24

*Niall's P.O.V*

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My heart was racing, and my temper started to increase. I knew exactly who it was. My breathing picked up, and I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed the picture off the wall and smashed it against my knee.

Ariana's face looked worried, and scared. Like she was scared of me. I didn't want that, I want her to know I'm not supposed to be here to scare her. She wrapped her small arms around me and we fell to the ground.

I felt Ariana's heart beating out of her chest, on mine. I didn't know what to do right now, I didn't even realize the figure was even in the picture. I shut my eyes and let myself rest in Ariana's arms.

*Ariana's P.O.V*

I couldn't get myself around the fact why Niall broke the frame, and teared apart the picture. I swayed my body back and forth, Niall still seemed tensed up and furious. I tried my best to calm him down, and he eventually did. I rubbed his back in small circles, and he pulled away. His eyes almost looking black.

"Ariana. I'm sorry..." He trailed off. I tilted my head to the side and took a deep breath. "Niall who was that man"

I asked him, and he shifted his body, tensing up again. I took his hands in mine and kissed him. I pulled away, and he just started telling me everything about the mysterious man.

"It was my father." He said. I looked at him dead in the eyes, and he said this sentence with a straight, and serious looking face. "When I was younger he would hurt my mum"

His eyes turned from his light blue colour, to dark. His cheeks turned pink and his facial expression scared me. "He would do anything he can to keep her from going out of the house. She couldn't do groceries without him there, she couldn't even see her own family"

Niall's voice raised at the end. I embraced him in a hug, and he went on. "I was fourteen, my brother was nineteen. I started to get the feeling to stick up for my mum. She was to scared to do it her self. My brother knew someone that was into boxing. I trained for a bit, then the one day when I came home, I seen my dad kicking my mum so I grabbed his neck and broke his jaw by hitting it against my knee."

I seen Niall's face turned into angry, to almost happy. Like a devilish happy. He snickered as he said 'broke his jaw'

"My mum passed away three months after due to a car accident. Probably caused by my dad in a way. I stopped training for boxing, and started getting into singing. That's why Josh says I'm born a natural I guess." Niall laughed, and I giggled.

I hated seeing him hurt. I guess, when he's hurt or not feeling good I get that feeling in my gut that I don't feel good either. I like seeing people happy, I always seen people happy around me. Only because Grayson, and the others would physically harass me, I was used to seeing happiness. Because they found it by hurting me.

"But my dad stopped chasing after my brother and I. He knows I'm in a huge band, and doesn't give two shits about it. Which doesn't bother me at all, I like it better that way" I looked up at Niall and he pecked my nose. He lifted me off his lap and walked back to the kitchen.

"Yeah. I kind of wish my dad didn't give two shits about me. If I were able to decide, I would've made my mum get up and move to my aunts place back in San Francisco." I mumbled trying to sound strong. I threw out my banana peel and placed the glass in the sink.

Niall took his last few bites of his sandwich and washed up our dishes. "Why was his figure so odd compared to yours and your mums" I questioned, looking at Niall as he continued to wash up the stuff. He shrugged.
