Trust { Niall Horan }

Chapter 27

Of course this would be happening now. Out of all the times for something like this to happen it had to be now. Niall and I were headed out for the night to see if Rue was maybe around but instead of her we found my father. My drunken father stumbling around the streets. He had spotted us as we tried to quickly disappear into a building close by. Now we were trying to get him in the car so we could take him home. I didn't get along with him but he was still my father. I couldn't just leave him out here but of course he was being difficult and causing a scene attracting attention to us.

"I'm not going anywhere with you.." My father slurs as he struggles to stand back up. He had fallen while trying to walk away from us. I had no idea as to why he wasn't at the house but here he was stumbling around the streets with a beer in hand.

"Dad come on. Let's get you home." I say as I help him up hoping he'll listen to me at least but that's quickly thrown out the door as he shoves me away from him. It catches me off guard and I end up falling to the ground. Niall helps me back up and I brush off the dirt. I just look over at my father who was now laying down and frown at him. He was so difficult and it was always worse when he was drunk.

"Babe lets just leave him. I don't need you getting hurt." Niall says frowning a bit when he sees that my knees are cut up a bit from the fall. I just shake my head at him and head over to my father. We needed to get him home. That's all we had to do and then we could continue with our plan.

I walk over to my father who has now managed to gain more attention from people by screaming random things at everyone who passes by him. I was honestly surprised the cops haven't showed up yet to contain him. Part of me wishes that they would show up and take him away but I knew in the end I'd bail him out like always. I honestly had no reason to be associated with him anymore. After everything he's ever done to me here I am trying to make sure he's going to get home safe.

"Dad come on. You're causing a scene." I say to him as I take the beer away and try to help him stand back up. He was a lot heavier than I remembered so Niall had to help me also. Once we have him on his feet again we set him down in the car and attempt to buckle him up but that fails miserably. My father ends up shoving me out of the way once again and punches Niall in the face before stumbling out of the car.

Nialls anger instantly takes over as he stalks over to my father. "Niall don't!" I yell out grabbing him by his arm to hold him back. I couldn't let him fight, there was way too many people around and I wouldn't be able to stop him. He stops and looks back at me and his eyes soften before he relaxes.

"I'm sorry." He mumbles to me letting out a small sigh.

I just nod and walk back to my father. I just needed him to listen to me so we could go. "Can we please just get you home." I say reaching out and grabbing him by the arm. The moment I do this he turns around and slaps me across my face causing me to stumble back a bit. I shake it off and try again to get him to listen. "Dad please." I say only for him to grab me with force pulling me over to him.

"You are such a bitch. Leaving your father all alone. How could you?" He breaths into my face slurring. I try to pull away from him but it doesn't work.

"Let me go!" I spat slapping him in his face only to receive a blow to the face. The moment his fist makes contact with my face I feel my nose crack and blood starts to flow out of it. Great he broke my damn nose again. I just knew this would cause Niall to go overboard and I was right. Niall has already jumped on my father punching him everywhere he can. All I can do is sit and watch while cradling my nose. There's nothing I really could've done. Once Niall heard my nose crack he was out of it. The rage being the only thing he could see and frankly I don't want to stop him this time.
