-Darcy's POV-

I woke up from the sun peaking through the tan curtains. I groaned and started stretching, it was then that the warm arms usually wrapped around my waist when I wake up weren't there. I opened my eyes and Niall wasn't on his side of the bed but a note lay on his pillow. I picked up the small blue posted note and read.

Morning princess! Sorry I couldn't be there with ya' I had a interview with the boys. You should go out and do something today! :) love ya'! Be safe.

~Nialler x

I smiled at the messy hand writing and placed it beside me.
I decided I wanted to go see my dad today and then after maybe I'll go shopping. I get up from the warm bed and the cool air made goosebumps arise on my arms, I shivered and decided not to take a shower because I might get sick from the weather if I do. I opened up Niall and I's shared wardrobe and picked out faded skinny jeans, Niall's 'free hugs' tee shirt, and my brown high heel boots. Since Niall shirt is so big on me I grabbed a hair tie and made it fit better. I brushed through my curls a bit and decided I am good enough to go. I grab my iPhone and wallet and head for the door. As soon I step out I go back in. I'm gonna need a jacket and beanie for this kinda winter weather. I went back to me and Niall's bedroom and grabbed my brown jacket and Niall's brown beanie, I slipped them on and again went for the door. This time I was ready for the weather.

--------

When I got to the hospital I went straight past the front desk and towards my dads room. I notice nurses and doctors running around frantic. As I got closer to my dads room I realized they were running in his room and rushing around in his room. Tears started streaming down my cheeks, what is going on?
A nurse was now restraining me and calmly telling me I can't go in the room. I didn't fight her I just went to the waiting room and sat down and cried, I wanted to call Niall but he is at an interview and last night he told me he dosn't want me coming here alone to see my dad... I wish he was here with me though.

--------

"Are you here to see Daniel Brooks?" A short and VERY pregnant nurse came and asked. I nodded and she motioned me to go see him. I thanked the woman and walked fast to his room.
When I opened the door a doctor was in the room writing something down on a chart.

"What happened." I questioned the doctor while sitting on the chair beside my fathers bed.

"He was stabbed." The doctor frowned. I gasped. How could someone do that? How did they get in?

"Is he going to be ok?" I asked the doctor. He signed.

"Not sure yet, for now he is in a coma. The person that stabbed him stabbed him near some very important things in his body, and we still arn't sure if it really damaged them." I nodded.

"Do you know who did it?" He shook his head.

"No, the person was smart enough to cut the cameras and come at a time were his nurse was at lunch and some other nurses were checking on their patients. They must have really thought this through." I nodded and thanked the doctor because he got up and left me with my father. I grabbed my fathers cold arms in my warm ones and just talked to his coma induced body.

--------

When I got home I started making dinner for everyone before they got home. I got out some pasta noodles and some sauce and put the meet balls in the oven.

--------

I set the last drink on the table along with the plates and right as I set it down the door was opened and all the boys and their wives and girlfriends came rushing in to get away from the cold air of winter. They all slipped off their coats, shoes, etc. Niall was the first one in the kitchen, Obviously.
He pecked my lips and sat down at a chair. He grabbed my waist and set me beside him in a chair. I smiled at him.
The rest came in a minute later all smiling. They all sat down and started digging into the food. I heard moans all across the dining room and everyone started complimenting my masterpiece.

"Thanks guys." I blushed they all nodded and started eating again.

"How was the interview?" I asked them. Liam finished chewing on his meatball and took a sip of his drink before answering.

"It was great. Just the usual questions." I smiled and nodded.
Everyone finished eating and I grabbed all their dishes and walked to the sink and started washing them. As everyone passed me they all thanked me. Niall stayed in the kitchen and helped clean, he dried and I washed.

"Did you find my note?" He questioned and smiled cheekily at me.
I nodded not smiling. He stopped drying noticing my upset face.

"Are you ok baby?" He asked and I nodded. "Don't lie to me." He sternly told me.

"I went to see my dad today." I told him and anger flashed across his features.

"I told you not to go without me, Darcy!" He spoke a little to harshly and I flinched when he grab hold of my forearm.
He pushed me against the wall his face in mine.

"Do you want him to hurt you again?" He yelled in my face and I shook my head, a tear slipping down my cheek. He has never been this aggressive with me before. Louis walked into the kitchen to see Niall still in my face and now both his hands were holding my wrist pinning them over my head.

"Please stop dad." I words slipped from my lips.

"What are you doing?" Louis questioned Niall angrily pulling him from me and pushing him. That's when Niall realized what he just did. I started crying really hard holding my wrist which bruises are probably forming now from how tight his grip was.

"Darcy, I didn't-" Louis cut him off pulling me into his chest while I still cried.

"Shut up Niall. Leave her alone. I don't want you to touch her again." Louis told Niall and he walked me to his bedroom and comforted me.

--------

I woke up in the morning in me and Niall's room. Niall wasn't beside me and then I remember what happened last night, Dad must have carried me up here last night after I fell asleep in his arm while he was comforting me. I looked at my wrists and they were both deeply bruised. I signed and slipped out of bed. I looked down and I was in pajamas.. Weird. I didn't bother changing out of my comfortable pajama bottoms and Niall's t-shirt. I walked out of the room and walked down the hall towards the stairs when I heard skin on skin.
I looked down the stairs to see Louis leaning over Niall and Niall's nose was gushing blood.
I rushed down the stairs and grabbed hold of Louis's arm pulling him off of Niall and pushing him away.

"Stop Louis!" I told him and he looked down at his fingers suddenly finding them interesting.
I offered my hand to Niall and helped him from the ground. I grabbed his larger hand into mine. He smiled and I just pulled him behind me into the nearest bathroom. I pushed him into sitting on the closer toilet seat. I grabbed some towels and put it up to his bleeding noise, once it stopped bleeding I examined his face for anymore damage done. He looked fine.

"You ok now." I told him not making eye contact.

"Thank you." He tried to hug me but I pushed him away.

"Just because I helped you dosn't mean that we are back together." I coldly told him. He looked down and then noticed my wrist. A look or pain crossed his features and I swore I saw tears building up in his eyes.

"Did I do that?" He grabbed my hand and when I tried to pull my hand out of his grasp he stopped me. "Answer me." He calmly demanded. I nodded and a tear slipped down.

"I swear I didn't mean to lose it Darc. I'm sorry baby." He started leaving soft feather kisses to the bruised skin.

"I'm not your baby anymore, Niall." I coldly told him ripping my hand from him and grabbing the towels walking to the laundry room. I put the dirtied towels into the washer and started it. I signed and leaned against the washer. I really love Niall and I want to be with him but when he lashed out on me like that I actually imagined my dad...
