Trust { Niall Horan }

Chapter 10

By the time we reached my fathers it was late afternoon, Niall had decided he wanted to go get something to eat along the way. Since it was later than I wanted it to be I was hoping he wasn't home but when we pulled up I saw his car in the drive along with another parked right beside his.

Groaning slightly I climb out of Niall's car with him right behind me and make my way up to the house. "Of course he'd be fucking home when I don't want him to be." I say as I open the front door and the smell of alcohol hits me along with people arguing.

"Come on, maybe they won't notice us." I say as I grab Niall's hand to pull him with me to my room. I just wanted to hurry up and get out of this god forsaken place. "Where...have you..been." My drunken father slurred from behind us. Just great I thought to myself as I turned around to face him.

"I've been trying to stay away from here but I forgot a few things." I spat at him before turning to go up to my room. Niall was still standing beside me and I could feel his grip tighten on my hand. Yeah we needed to hurry up and get out of here.

Practically running up the stairs to the room with Niall in tow my father is hot on our heels. "Who the hell is this Riley? Some guy you're just fucking or what?" He snaps glaring at me and Niall.

I rolled my eyes at him, ignoring him and rummaged around my room until I found the bracelet. "Alright Niall lets go." I say to him as I walk out of the room and downstairs. We were so close to the door to leave but we're stopped by my father blocking it.

"You're not going anywhere Riley, this is where you live. I'll be damned if I'm letting you leave with this thing." He stumbles with his words motioning at Niall.

By now Niall had enough of his shit and speaks up, "Listen Mr. Woods but your daughter is hold enough to move out. You can't stop her." He spat, "and as for me being a 'thing' at least I treat Riley with respect." Niall was trying to get us past my father so we could leave and ends having to shove him out of the way.

As we're walking to Niall's car I hear my father and a man come out after us. "Blondie, who the hell do you think you are?!" A man snarls and I instantly tense up when I hear his voice, it was the same man from the poker game. The memories of that night came flooding back and I started to shake.

Latching onto Niall's arm I try to speak but my words don't fully connect, "Ni..all...that...m...man.." I stutter looking at my father and the man in fear. Why was this happening right now. Just why.

Niall looks at the man confused and then back at me. When he sees how shaken up I am and that I won't let him go everything clicks together. "You son of a bitch." Niall growls in a low voice, "Riley get in the car." He says gently to me, I nod obeying and get in the car.

The man and my father are both now standing in front of Niall glaring at him. "You really think you can come here and TAKE MY daughter and just leave." My father spat but Niall doesn't pay him any mind. He's focused on the man before him and next thing I know he's pounding him into the ground.

Everything happened so fast, Niall was beating the man up causing him to bleed instantly. My father jerks Niall off of the man and then proceeds to beat Niall with the help of the blooded man. I didn't know what to do but I was out of the car and on top of my father trying to get him off of Niall.

I was punching him repeatedly but nothing was working. He was too drunk to actually feel anything but I knew he'd feel one thing. I stood behind my father and lined my leg up perfectly and kicked him directly in the balls causing him to stumble backwards until he fell down hard.

"You little bitch." He growls standing up before taking a few long strides over to me. He grabs me by my hair and jerks me up to him before he speaks. "I swear I'm going to kill you this time Ri." You could practically see the venom dripping from my fathers mouth. I had never seen him this angry before so I had no idea what to expect.
