--------------------------------------------

Kate's P.O.V

My breath hitched in my throat and I was almost certain I was about to have a breakdown

"What's wrong?" Zayn asked sounding worried
For a second I had forgotten I was still at Starbucks with the boys
Suddenly once Zayn said that everything went quiet and they were all looking at me.

"It's nothing" I said trying my best to keep my voice sounding normal and not anxious. "I need to go outside for some fresh air," I smiled slightly trying to suppress everyone's worry a little bit. I continued "can you please let me out Niall?" he looked at me worried "uh, yeah, sure" he said looking worriedly at me, "do you need me to come with you?" He whispered before I started to walk down the aisle "No, I'll be fine. Don't worry" I said reassuringly before I walked down the aisle to the exit. As soon as I opened the door and the cold air hit my face I felt a lot better. I just breathed in for a minute trying to process everything. I put my head in my hands. This was so bad. I thought they were gone! I thought they caused me enough pain already but I guess not.

I tried my best to recollect myself before going back in, worrying that if I was out here too long they would get concerned. I took a deep breath and opened the door walking in and making my way back to the boys booth. "Everything okay?" Liam asked, a concerned look in his eyes. "Yeah I'm okay I just was getting a little warm in here" I said smiling slightly at him. Niall got up so I could scoot in again. As I sat down and he scooted in after me and everything was back to normal again with everyone starting up conversations. It began to rain so looked out the window and watched the rain droplets race. After we sat there for a minute I felt something touch my hand. It was Niall. He interlocked our fingers and whispered "What happened?" As he scooted closer to me. "I'll tell you when we get home" I whispered back. Then my phone rang, it was from an unknown number "Hello?" I said quietly so I wouldn't disturb anyone's conversation. "Hello Katieboo," Said the person on the other end of the line "did you miss us?" My eyes went wide and I swallowed heavily. "How did you get this number?" I said whisper yelling. "Ohh Katieboo, you honestly didn't think you could get away from us that easily; Did you?" My expression hardened "Never call this number again" I said in a harsh tone and hung up. I said that in my normal voice so instantly Niall looked at me "Who was that?" He asked worriedly, "No one. Don't worry" I smiled at him. He still looked worried. My phone rang again, I sent it to voicemail. Then it rang three more times. I answered this time "Come outside." The voice said in a harsh tone. "No. Stop calling me" I replied by this time all of the boys were looking at me. Niall spoke up again but this time in a more serious tone "Who was that Kate." He said with deep concern and worry in his eyes "No one" I said. "No," he replied "tell me" at this point I knew he wasn't going to take no for an answer so I took a deep breath and let out a sigh, closing my eyes for a second to relax myself. With everyone's attention on me I began a story I never wanted to tell "Well, ever since I was around the age of eleven I had these three boys that would hit me at school. One of them lived right across the street from me and everyday was horrible with me coming home from school with bruises and bloody lips to explain or somehow cover up before I got home. Soon after I got into high school met a boy, and he saw what they did to me. He was my protector because whenever he was around the boys wouldn't come near me. But sometimes when he wasn't able to walk me home I wouldn't have any protection and I would get beat up again. Then one day his mom died and his dad couldn't handle living in the house anymore so they moved away." All of the boys looked at me sadly. "I-Why didn't you tell me?" Niall asked. Sadness in his eyes. "Because every friend I ever had left me because I goy beat up all the time. And usually they would either beat up my friends too or they would do things to make me hurt worse. But for some reason, it was different with him." I looked out the window with a sad smile.

They all looked down sadly at the table
"But around the time I met you everything stopped" I said smiling up at Niall trying to cheer him up "And I guess I can call you my lucky charm because you protected me even more than he did" Right as I said that a hand hit the glass right where my face was. I jumped and put my hands over my mouth. "This is really bad" I said nervously "No no no this is really bad! I have to get out of here right now!" My breathing was rapid. I was was on the brink of a breakdown. "I'm so sorry guys I didn't mean any of this to happen" I said to the boys as they shushed me and tried to calm me down telling me it wasn't my fault and that everything was going to be okay. Niall hugged me reassuringly "Don't worry, I'm not going to let anything happen to you" he said sternly as the door swung open and in walked Ben. He smirked as he spotted Niall and I at the end of the aisle. "C'mon" Niall said taking my hand and leading me out of the booth. "Bye guys, it was nice meeting you all" I said smiling through my worry "Be safe" Liam said sadly smiling at me "Get home fast" Said Harry with a reassuring look, by this time Ben was already halfway down the aisle "Take her home now Niall!" Louis quietly yelled "Hurry!!!" Zayn said. With all of them sending us off we took our first few steps towards the exit. I was clinging to Niall's arm trying to keep myself out of sight. We paced ourselves as we walked past Ben. I held my breath hoping that he wouldn't see me but of course he did. "And where do you think your going?" He said grabbing my wrist and jerking my arm almost making me lose my grip on Niall. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I screamed kicking him in the crotch and pushing Niall to the exit before he could catch up to us.
Niall and I ran out of the exit and into the alley, "I didn't know you could do that!" Niall exclaimed as we ran through some more alley ways trying to throw him off of our tracks. I just laughed. "I think we lost him" I said slowing my pace to a walk and bending over to breath. Once I had regained some of the oxygen I needed I slowed my breathing and tried to relax. I looked around just to make sure we were alone "Where should we go now?" I asked hoping that no one could hear us "I think it would be safe to go home now" Niall said smiling. I was so glad we got away. Then just as we were walking away and out of the alley someone grabbed my wrist. I turned just in time to see a hand move towards my face making it's contact point on my left cheek. I felt a stinging pain. Tears erupted from my eyes as I heard Ben say "We really missed you slut" The two other boys came up and pushed Niall away from Ben and I. "DON'T TOUCH HER!!" He screamed struggling between the two boys grasps to get to me. I turned to him and said "Go Niall. I'll be okay I don't want you getting hurt" With tears rolling down my cheeks. I smiled sadly at him telling him it was okay to go "I'm not leaving you!" He screamed as he kept struggling to get out of their grasp. I turned and looked Ben straight in the eyes "Your nothing but a coward" I screamed. My voice trembled with every word. He laughed and slapped me again "Do you need me to remind you of the rules?!?" He screamed back at me

"Rule one, Run and you get it worse!!" He punched me in the stomach and made me double over in pain "NO!!" Niall screamed kicking and punching to get away from their grasp but it was barely any use against two strong boys

"Rule two, hit back and you'll be in a hospital!!" He punched me in the face, I felt my nose go numb and my cheek welting making everything go blurry as more tears escaped my eyes

"Rule three, tell anyone and your dead!!" He yelled as he kicked me to the ground and hit me again and again. At this point all I could hear was the ringing in my ears but very faintly I heard Niall screaming. I never wanted to bring him into any of this. I felt one more tear trickle down my cheek and tasted the saltiness of blood on my lips. With every blink I could feel my eyelids getting heavier until I closed my eyes for the last time and felt one more painful kick to my stomach

And that's the last thing I remember before everything went black
