The Broken Girl {Niall Horan}

Chapter 3

~Rachel's POV~

I boarded my plane with ease because I had no baggage and made my way to my seat. Once I found it, I plopped myself down and buckled up. The seat to my right was empty, including the one on my left. A wave a relief washed over me knowing I wouldn't have to sit next to people I didn't know. I shut my eyes as a few more people board the plane, and I quickly fell asleep.

"Shh! Your going to wake her up! We don't even know if it's her!" someone whispered. I groaned and tried to roll over when I felt something on my waist holding my down. I jolted up and took in my surroundings. Oh yeah, I'm on a plane. I unbuckled my seatbelt and look forward to see dark brown eyes looking at me over the seat infront of me, and to the seat left of that, green eyes were also staring at me.

The green ones looked to the seat infront of them which was to my left. I followed it's gaze and saw the blonde boy that helped me in the airport. Then I looked to my right and saw the black haired boy too.

"Oh my god." I said quietly. a brown haired boy shot up from the seat beside the brown eyes infront of me, but I saw the whole face of this boy.

"Yay! You're awake!! I'm Louis!" the boy beamed at me. I sat in shock. What are the odds that the boys that helped me, are on the same plane, going to the same place, and were sat right beside me and infront of me.

"Louis you probably scared the girl half to death. Shut up!" The brown eyed boy infront of me scolded.

"Hey, sorry if we woke you. You ran off in the airport and we couldn't find you. I'm Liam, this is Harry." He pointed to the green eyed boy who smiled at me, showing a dimple on his left cheek.

"That's Zayn" He pointed to the boy on my right with black hair. He also smiled at me.

"And that's Niall." I looked to my left at the blonde boy with blue eyes. I jumped a little. His eyes were an exact match to....His..

I quickly looked away and nodded at Liam.

"Thank you guys for helping me." I didn't know what to say, but I at least owed them that.

"It's not problem, love. But, you do owe me an explanation." Harry said. I gave him a questioning look until I remembered I told him I would "explain later" if he helped me.

I looked in my lap, my fingures suddenly becoming interesting. I opened my mouth, and closed it multiple times. I couldn't find the words. I couldn't say it. Everything was so fresh, I couldn't talk about it yet. Tears pricked my eyes and I looked up at Harry. Sadness washed over his features.

"I was running away from him. His name is Austin. I had to get away, so I'm moving to London." That's all I could really say.

"Where are you staying?" I looked at the Niall. I looked in his eyes, then looked away. I couldn't do it. That's when it hit me. I have no idea where I'm going. I have no where to go.

"I- I don't know. I don't have anywhere to go" I shut my eyes and put my head on the back of the seat. I felt a hand on my arm and I looked to Zayn.

"You can stay with us until you find somewhere to go." He smiled at me.

"No. I couldn't do that. I'm already a burden on your guys." I spoke quickly.

"Then where are touching to go? It's winter weather in London right now. You can't sleep on the streets." Liam said. He was right I couldn't. I slowly nodded.

"Okay so it's settled! We have a new best friend who gets to stay with us!" Louis clapped.

"Oh, what's your name?" Niall asked.

"Rachel. Rachel Jordyn." I said facing forward.

"Well Rachel, we have a while until we land so might as well get some sleep!" Liam smiled and they all turned around in their seats. I heard light snoring and turned to see Niall already passed out. I smiled a little but it soon faded. I couldn't hold a smile anymore.

After everyone fell asleep, I started looking through a magazine. I flipped through the pages just looking at pictures. The plane hit turbulence causing me to drop it. when I reaches to get it, I saw another arm reaching for it too. I immediately sat up, only to see Zayn sitting there holding the magazine out for me to grab.

"Sorry to scare you. I can't sleep." He laughed and handed me to magazine. I took it and opened it up to a random page.

"Oh hey, look it's us" Zayn said softly point at the corner of the page. Sure enough, it was all five of them with microphones on a stage. But why?

"Why are you in a magazine?" I asked confused.

"You don't know who we are?" Zayn asked, sounding just as confused.

"No?" I kind of questioned. Should I know them?

Zayn began to explain that they were in a famous boy band, One Direction. He told me their whole story. The were formed on this show called X Factor by a man named Simon Cowell. They all live in London together in a flat. He told me Niall was from Ireland which explained the accent difference. Liam was from Wolverhampton. Harry was from Holmes Chapel. Louis was from Doncaster and Zayn himself was from Bradford.

They had just finished the American part of there Take Me Home tour which was the name of their second album. He told me about their fans. They call themselves 'directioners'. He told me about Liam being 'daddy direction'. He told me about how crazy they were and how much they loved them. When he finished, we were only 10 minutes from landing.

Zayn slapped Liam's seat and told his to wake everyone up. I turned to see Niall still asleep. He looked so innocent. I took the time to get a good look at him. I had already done that with the other boys, but with Niall's eyes, I could barely look at him. Now that they were closed, I didn't need to look away. Niall looked almost..cute.

The plane was now under the clouds and the runway was in clear view. Niall was still asleep, so I took it upon myself to wake him up. I poked his face in different spots. He started to move, but didn't wake up. I then decided to do it like my dad would. I pinched his nose close until he shot up. I let go quickly giggled a little to myself.

"Well Niall, good to see your up!" Louis shouted over his seat because we had to stay buckled as the plane approached the gate.

Once we got off, the boys and I were quickly taken to a black car out front.

"What about your bags?" I asked to no one in particular. "Someone will get them for us. They always do this so we don't get swarmed by fans." Harry stated. After being in the car for a while, we pulled up to their flat. I guess this is where i will be staying for a while.

I was still apprehensive about it. I was so scared one of them will get mad at me for something and snap just like Austin did. I started shaking again.

What if they hurt me?

What if they are just like Austin?

I don't know them, but I have no where to go. I will leave tomorrow morning while they are all asleep. Yeah. I'll do that. I couldn't stay here in fear that one or all of them could turn out to be just like Austin.

Hello everyone!! So what do you think? Let me know please!!(:
