The Broken Girl {Niall Horan}

Chapter 2

~Rachel's POV~

I ran, and ran, and ran. My legs started to shake. I began to slow down when I saw the airport come into my view. As far as I know, Austin didn't follow me. While I was still lightly jogging, afraid to fully stop, I turned my head.

Nothing.

Now would be a good time to walk. I pat down my jeans for my phone. Oh yeah, it was in my purse, that's at the house... Oh well. I'll buy a new one. luckily, I put the money I stashed away in my pocket.

Many cars passed by in the street as I walked along the sidewalk. I was going to miss this place. I might have a lot of bad memories, but it's the only place I have ever called home. I heard a ton of car horns go off and I turned around to see a car speeding down the road.

I know that car. It's Austin. I began to run again. my heart was beating out if my chest and I felt like collapsing. But I pushed through the pain and ran straight into the airport.

I zipped through people and looked behind me every so often. When I reached the little board that shows bording times, I stopped, scanning quickly through. Once my eyes landed on the right plane number, I looked at the time.

8:45

It was currently 8:15. Which meant I had 30 minutes to ran to my turminal and hide.

"RACHEL?! RACHEL?" Austin's loud, deep voice carried through the crowd of people. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

I once again, took off runing as fast as I could. I had no idea where the turminal was. I just kept running. People that saw me coming moved out of the way, some I had to push. Some dude almost fell. Sorry dude, it was either you fall or me die. I heard him scream my name, but it was getting softer and softer. I turned around one more time when I ran smack into something, or should I say, someone. I went down like the London bridge and the person I ran into, came with me.

"Oh shit I'm sorry!" I said and quickly got up, looking around making sure he wasn't there.

"It's not big deal." The British voice rang through my ears. I turned to look at a brown, curly haired boy with emerald green eyes. I was about to apologize when I heard Austin's voice once again yell my name. I stopped, terrified, and looked around frantically. I was close to a dead end and the only way out, was to run back towards him. I thought as quickly as I could, I hope this works..

"Look I know I don't know you and I just knocked you down but please, dear god, please hide me!" I cried, and literally cried. The tears flowed freely and I begged this boy for help.

"RACHEL?! DAMNIT WHERE ARE YOU!?" Austin screamed. I stiffened and began to shake. The boy looked at me, almost like he was trying to figure out why I would be doing this. He quickly grabbed my arm and yanked me with him, running to the dead end. I turned around once more and noticed he was looking the other way. YES!

The boy pulling me stopped and I ran into his back. Ok, ouch! What the hell? Does this guy have bricks on him or something?

"Here Stand behind us and we will cover for you, but you owe me an explanation later." The curly haired boy said. Well shit.

I slipped behind the group of guys. I stood close to them, but one in particualar kept looking at me. He probably was thinking the curly haired dude was crazy for helping me.

"RACHEL JORDYN WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?!" I started to shake again. One of the boys with black hair, stepped backwards towards me and pulled me to his back. I know I shouldn't be near a stranger like this but I was too scared to care. I gripped his arm and put my forehead on his back.

"Hello gentlemen. Mind if I ask you a question?" I heard Austin's voice. He was talking to one of the guys. Oh god, please don't rat me out!

One of the boys with blonde hair shifted closer to the one who I was standing behind. Their shoulders were touching and it was a better way for me to stay hiden.

"Is there something you need?" The curly haired boy asked politely.

"Yes, my fiancée, she took off today. She is having a bad day. She isn't mentally stable and I need to take her home." Austin stated with such ease.

What if they believe him?! No! No! They can't. I began to shake very badly. My whole body trembling. I looked up to see the blonde boy look at me out of the corner of his eye. His blue ones captured my green ones for just a second, then he looked away.

"Well, we haven't seen anyone walking around without someone with them." The black haired boy stated. It was silent for a while.

"Well, if you happened to see a blonde girl with green eyes and only about 5'4, let me know" He said coldly. I could only imagine the look on his face.

"Will do." Blondie said. With that, I heard his footsteps slowly fade into the loud chatter of people. This is it. I might actually have a chance at getting away. I began to walk away as the two boys turned around and the other three walked to stand beside them.

I always seem to be a problem for people. I always see to mess up something. I couldn't do that to these boys who so kindly helped me. The best way for me to thank them would be to just leave. Leave them and not get them involved. I felt in my pocket for my ticket and took it out. I took a look at the clock on the wall. 8:40. Perfect. my plane boarded at 8:45 and I was only two gates away.

I weeved in and out of the crowd of people, slightly bumping the ones that wouldn't get out of my way. Once my gate came into view, I saw the long line of people about to board. Across for the gate were the bathrooms. I really didn't want to wait in a massive line so I might as well check my appearance and be the last to board.

When I walked into the bathroom, quickly walked to the mirrors where the sinks were. I held onto the sink when I looked up and saw the creature infront of me. I didn't even look like myself. My usual green eyes, were dull and lifeless. My blonde hair was slightly wavy and looked like it had never been brushed. My cheeks were tear staned and luckily, the makeup on my bruises cheek was still hiding the awful purple mark.

I was broken.
