Westlife Saved Me ( DISCONTINUED )

Ch 1

KATIE'S POV

I hurried out of the school, trying to hide from my sisters. My sisters, Wendy Liana Alexa and Bree. They hated me, including my mom because of what happened to our dad a few years back then when I was just 9.

FLASHBACK

Dad and I were cycling back home after we spent the day at the beach. Mom and my sisters are out at the shopping mall shopping for dresses. Me, not liking to be so girly didn't go along with them. We arrived home and we stayed in the front garden, laying on the grass. Suddenly a man stopped by our house.

"Is there something I can help you mister?" Dad asked the man. There was something I didn't like about the man. He doesn't seem to look nice. Just as the man was about to speak a police siren tore through the peaceful moment. The mans eyes widened in fear and he reached for something in his pocket. I stared at the man wondering what he's taking. Next thing I knew I saw the man take out a gun and pointed it straight at me. I widened my eyes in shock. I heard my dad screaming at me to run into the house but I was too scared to even move. I was practically frozen on the spot. It all happened so fast. The man pulled the trigger and the next thinh I know dad was in front of me. The police came and arrested the man whereas I was crying out loud when I found out that dad was shot and was bleeding badly. By that time mom and my sisters had come back from shopping and we followed the ambulance to the hospital. The sad part was dad died due to loss of blood.

FLASHBACK ENDS

It was that day that mom and my sisters started to treat me differently. They blamed me for dad's death and in a way even I have to admit that I was the cause that dad is now dead. I have learned from yesterday that if I want to hide from my sisters I should NEVER go into the girls bathroom. I got lots of bruises all over my body but I can't complain about it when the fact is I deserved it. I plugged in my earphines and began to listen to Westlife. I sang along when it played 'Swear It Again'

"Hey Katie ready for another game?"

I turned back to look who was calling me. Oh shit. It's Alexa and Bree.

"N...no. Please just leave me alone." I managed to stutter out.

"Come on just a game. Wouldn't hurt would ya?" Bree taunted. Alexa smirked.

"Alexa Bree wait up!" Great. Now Wendy's coming. But it turned out that Liana was also there. Oh joy.

Alexa pointed at my direction and they smiled. Not in a nice way of course.

"Guess we're just in time for another game Wendy." Liana said and Wendy nodded.

"Let's play beat the crap out of Katie."

And I was pushed to the ground and being kicked.

NICKY'S POV

The lads and I are heading back to the hotel after the rehearsal for our concert. Mark was talking on the phone with Kelvin. Shane's playing with his phone and Kian talking to the driver. I looked out of the window and saw the least thing I wanted to see most. A few girls were surrounding another girl and they're hurting her! I must stop this!

"Stop the car!" I told the driver. They all looked confused but the driver stopped. The girls were fully unaware that the car had stopped right in front of them. I got out off tue car.

"Hey, what are you doing to her?" I asked them angrily. The girls jumped. They looked back and saw me and the boys. Their eyes looked at me and then back to the girl. Their eyes widened and then they started fangirling.

"Omg! I'm seeing Westlife in person! Did Nicky Byrne just talked to me? Am I really seeing Shane Mark and Kian also? Somebody punch me!"

Normally I would laugh at them but not at this situation. I glared at them and they stopped screaming and stuff.

"Why are you hurting her?" I asked pointing to the girl that Shane had helped up with. She seemed like she couldn't keep her balance.

"Nice to meet you Nicky. I'm Wendy and these are my sisters Liana Alexa and Bree. This is also my sister Katie. She just fell down and we were about to ask if she's ok...." Wendy trailed off.

"Well that wasn't the scene I saw. You were kicking her roght in the stomach. I wouldn't call that comforting her." I told them, trying to hold back my anger.

"Sweetie are they really your sisters?" Shane asked Katie. She hesitated and then shiok her head. Too weak to speak. Something is clearly not right but I decided to let it go. We can't stay here for too long. People will know we're here. Shane looked at me and nodded.

"Alright now you girls run along and don't mess with Katie you got it?"

They nodded. Glared at Katie and ran off the othe direction down the road.

"Katie, how long have they been doing this to you?" I asked.

"I....I.....I can't tell." She stuttered.

"We might be able to help you Katie." Mark pointed out. I nodded. Mark had a point there. She just shook her head. Luckily Kian decided to break this awkward moment.

"Beautiful bracelets you got there." He said and pulled up her bracelets. We all gasped. Her wrists are covered in cuts. Old and new. Katie pulled back her hand.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"It's fine Katie. Promise me you won't do this to yourself ever again ok?"

She sighed and I hugged her. Oh how I wish I can help her. Something clicked in my mind. I rummaged in my jacket pocjet and took out a ticket and a backstage pass for our concert tomorrow.

"Here, this is one and only backstage pass. I'm gonna give it to you as a present. Promise us to come watch our performance and visit us?" I asked her. The lads nodded in agreement and she smiled for the first time. She looked so beautiful with that smile hanging on her face.

"Can I come earlier tomorrow?" She asked.

"Sure." I smiled, "It's getting late. You'd better get back home."

"Thanks. I'll surely come if I can survive tonight." She muttered under her breath.

I frowned but I decided to let it go.

"We'll see you tomorrow. Come straight after school ok?"

"Ok. See you tomorrow. Nice meeting you today and thanks for saving me."

With that she left and disappear round the street.
