Who Will It Be

Chapter 31

-niall-

zayn carried a blooded and bruised sophie to the car, i couldn't look. She was crying uncontrolably and zan comforted her, poor girl.

i sat silently in the car not in the best of moods, nobody really was.

What am i going to do? i can't fight liam, everyone knows i can't fight But i couldn't let him torture sophie, i'd rather me than her.

"well what are we going to do" harry says fear clear in his voice.

"take her to the nurse" louis shrugged

"and say what? We cannot tell her what happened, and what lie is good enough to cover this up?HUH?!" Harry shouts

"harry chill, we will figure something out" louis pats harry on the back reasuringly and harry takes a deep breath

"i'll fucking kill him you know. AND MAX AND FUCKING CHARLIE. i hate them all. niall you are lucky he asked you to fight" harry rants

am i?

"lucky?LUCKY? harry you know full well that i can't fight liam. i am going to end up in hospital harry now stop being fucking incosiderate just because you are some tough guy and i am a little irish weakling"i state folding my arms across my chest and turning to face the window.

"niall i am sorry i am just worried for sophie" harry said smiling

urg i am a great friend

"yeah its fine"

its not fine, i am going to die.

-sophie-

i listen to the boys argue in the back where i am sat in the front seat, tormented by memories and flashbacks of the night, making the tears fall harder. When we got home all the boys went to the front room, and i went to the bathroom to put some sudocrem on my bruises and clean up my cuts with water.

*knock,knock,knock*

"come in" i shout

louis comes in " soph can i take a piss, i'm fucking bursting" louis says jumping up and down holding his crotch

"yeah whatever" i laugh

"ahhhhh" louis says, may i add that his back is turned to me so i can't see anything..

"are you okay, i am always here if you need to talk to someone"he reasures me

"no i am not okay, can we grab lunch tommorow" i suggested as a smile spread across his face "don't you let me down" louis announced leaving the room

i find myself smiling like a fool, louis is a great guy. All of them are, oh shit niall! nononononono i cannot let him fight for me, i know how he feels about it and i would feel awful if he was hurt, i may have been sobbing and in and out of conciousness but i do know that harry and louis beat him up and niall just got s threat, or a deal should i say.

niall could have easily said no i don't want to fight but he protected me. Too much has happened and i need to sleep on it all

****

i woke up gasping for air, covered in sweat.

i read the time 3:21am

fucking hell its late or should i say early? just had a nighmare about liam and the events of that night. it was of liam getting me in the corner but when i called for my friends they never came, only charlie and max and joined liam. i don't feel like going back to sleep.

FRIDGE

i ran to the fridge and took a handfull of food and drink only realising now that i hadn't eaten since yesterday, mmmmm nialls skittles!

"oi, i knew it was you eating them"niall croaks

"oh, well this is arkward" i laugh

niall snatches the skittles with a grin and demolishes them and sits next to me and my pile of food and joins in my midnight feast. "sophie?" niall mummbled with a face full of food

"thats my name, don't wear it out" i say cleverly, good one sophie.

"i'm scared"niall says looking to the floor in shame

i can't help myself but to hug him so tightly " niall you dont have t-"

"yes i do" niall cuts me off

"but niall, i don't want you hurt" i murmer into his shoulder as we are cuddling

"its either you or me, and i will not allow that prick to touch you again sophie" niall says holding me at arms length staring deeply into my eyes

"but i-"

"shhhh" niall whispered putting a finger to my lips. He then walks away and gets in to his bed

tears threaten to fall but i hold them back, you've done enough crying sophie.

They aren't worth the tears

quite a long chapter actually(:
