My Protector

I decided I would leave in a week.

I don't know where I would go but I had to leave. I was putting Niall and hope and everyone here in danger.

I knew I would have to leave Niall but it was for his own good.

-------one week later--------

Today was the day I would run away. I woke up and peeled Niall's arm off my body. I got up and went to the bathroom. I got in the shower. then I dried of and brushed my teeth.

I slipped into our room and grabbed some clothes. I threw them on then packed some extra clothes for the run.

I grabbed some money. witch was like $200. then I started the hardest part of this. saying goodbye.

I obviously couldn't wake them up and say "hi, I'm leaving and never coming back. bye guys!" so I just wrote a note. it said:

Dear, Niall, Louis, Zayn, Harry, and hope.

Niall I'm sorry but I can't live this life anymore it's time I move on. trust me I don't want to but it's for the Best. so my brave Niall, just stay strong and move on. Louis, take care of hope, will you? don't forget to protect her for me k? zayn, thank you so much for caring and being like a brother to me. harry, I know this will be hard but promise me not to hurt yourself. Do it for me okay? hope, look after your daddy and uncle Louis all they are is trouble. I love you all

Love, Zoe

I was crying. like crazy. I looked at Niall one more time and kissed his cheek. "stay strong for me k?" I whispered in his ear. with that I left.

I started running full speed into the woods I don't know where I was going but it was far away from there.

Niall's POV

I woke up in a empty bed. Zoe was no longer by my side. I went into the kitchen and saw a note on the table. it said:

Dear, Niall, Louis, Zayn, Harry, and hope.

Niall I'm sorry but I can't live this life anymore it's time I move on. trust me I don't want to but it's for the Best. so my brave Niall, just stay strong and move on. Louis, take care of hope, will you? don't forget to protect her for me k? zayn, thank you so much for caring and being like a brother to me. harry, I know this will be hard but promise me not to hurt yourself. Do it for me okay? hope, look after your daddy and uncle Louis all they are is trouble. I love you all

Love, Zoe

I was crying like a maniac. I forgot how to breath. I did something I didn't think I would do at that moment.

I ran.

And ran and ran and ran and ran. I didn't even tell the boys about it I just ran after her.

Soon I heard a faint scream. it said "LET ME GO!"

ZOE'S POV

I was running still then I felt a pair of cold arms around my waist. it was Alec.

"miss me?" his voice made me weak."LET ME GO!" I screamed.

"Never in a life time, babe." He kissed my cheek. I shivered at his touch.

Just then he got tackled to the ground by someone I never thought I would see again.

Niall.

Niall punched Alec in the face. then pushed him up against a tree. "didn't I tell you not to touch her!" he spoke through gritted teeth.

He then grabbed him by the throat and squeezed. Niall squeezed Alec's head right off.

It came tumbling to my feet. I backed away and started to faint but before I hit the ground Niall caught me then I let the darkness take over.

I woke up in Niall's room. around me was Niall, Louis, Harry, Zayn, and hope. Niall ran over to me and hugged me so hard I winced.

"Sorry I just couldn't stand you being gone." Niall said. "but I was never gone." I said hugging him tighter.

"But you thought about it, and you were." He said. He said pulling away from the hug.

"But I didn't okay?" I said. "okay." he sighed.

Niall's POV

She was really going to leave. she was really going to leave her daughter, Zayn, Louis, Harry, her life, food, shelter, love, a home, me. she was really going to leave me.

I'm so glad I found her before Alec got her. if I wasn't there she would be his.

I heard a knock on the door. I got up to open it. I open the door to the so far stranger. but he was no stranger. he was Liam.

"I came to see Zoe." he said and pushed passed me. "wait." I said to him. "let me go first, please." he nodded and I went past him to Zoe's room. "wait here." I said.

He waited and I walked into Zoe's room and said "someone's here to see you." then I stepped to the side of the door frame and motioned for Liam to come in.

He entered slowly. Zoe's face lit up. she jumped all the way to the ceiling and ran over to him.

She hugged him so hard he winced. "I missed you." She sobbed. "I missed you too Zoe but I'm not staying long I only came to see if you were okay."

"Your not staying?" she said with a bit of anger. "No, I wou-" "then leave." she said sternly. "zo-" he started. "if your not staying then leave, now." she was dead serious.

He started to exit and mumble "I'm sorry." he left the house and we heard his car drive away. she stared right at the door till you could no longer hear his car.

Then she collapsed on the floor. I ran and caught her and cradled her in my arms. "it's okay..... It's okay, I'm here......its okay."

"It took all I had to tell him that." she was hiccuping and sobbing and it sounded like she couldn't breath. she cried herself to sleep. in my arms was the most important thing in my whole life.

She was my everything. my shining star. my full moon. my energy. my heart. my goal. My water when I'm stranded in the dessert. my sun in a world of darkness. my angel when I'm up against the devil. my life in a world of dead. she was my everything and she was in my arms right now.

"I love you." I mumbled. I kissed her cheek and laid her down and she slept in my arms.

I wish we could stay like that forever.
