Zayn’s POV:
Current Time
I walked back into the house with my unexpected guest, well, I expected him, but Niall surely didn’t. We made our way upstairs slowly and quietly so Liam and Niall wouldn’t hear their unexpected doom. We arrived at the door and knocked quietly hearing them shuffle around frantically, “oh shit”, I heard Liam mumble.
“Put on some clothes babe”, they were still going on with this shit, even when I’m right here; it’s a shame. The door opened and a shirtless Liam peaked out, “hello Zaynie”, he greeted, “don’t fucking call me Zaynie”, I ordered as I pushed the door opened and walked in. “Um, who is this”, Liam asked from behind me referring to my guest. I stopped to take in Niall’s pale, astonished, bewildered face, “Niall, I would like you to meet your father”.
Niall’s POV:
"Why, when, ho-, how did you get here", I managed to choke out as the questions and fear flooded my brain, "I brought him", Zayn interjected. My frantic eyes shot to him, "how did you know where he was", asked almost yelling, "if I were you Niall, I wouldn’t be yelling at the one who practically has his life in his hands. Now, it wasn’t that hard actually, all I did was search men over 35 with the last name Horan within a 10 mile radius, simple really". I hadn’t realized I was crying until now, I guess the realization that I could possibly die just hit me.
"Hello, Niall", he greeted, "hey dad", I said wiping my tears.
Liam walked behind me, circling his arms around my waist and and kissing me behind my ear, "when i say, ‘now’, run, okay babe", he asked calmly. I slightly nodded as he kissed the back of my neck again. Zayn took a step closer, "and to move this murder by quickly, I’ll answer the burning question now, I brought him here because I warned you, and you didn’t listen to me".
He grew increasingly angry with every word, "I came home about ten minutes after I left, I walked up to the bedroom thinking that I was crazy for never giving you a chance, but now I know that I’m crazy for ever thinking that. I heard you guys talking about Niall’s dream, and then about how your father raped you, and finally, how you loved each other. That was the last straw", he concluded. "Wait", Niall’s dad finally spoke up, " you told people that I raped your little ass", he asked as a smile grew on Zayn’s face, "um, yeah", I answered. "Now", Liam whispered. It took a while to process, but when I saw my dad running towards me and Liam push me out of the room, it clicked immediately.
I ran down the stairs with Zayn not far behind and picked up my phone off of the kitchen table. I ran to the other side so Zayn couldn’t reach me, "really bitch, we’re really going to play those childish games". Liam ran down the stairs and grabbed Zayn, throwing him on the floor," call the police and get in the closet, I’ll hold them off", he ordered. "Hello, yes my father and my boyfriends’ ex are trying to kill me", I explained as I walked into the closet, " so I’m your boyfriend now", Liam asked, as if now was the right time, yet I still turned a deep shade of red. I talked on the phone with the police as I heard bumping and screams, tears soon formed in my eyes again. I finished the call and came out of the closet to see my dad knocked out with shattered glass everywhere, and blood running down his forehead.
I turned my head and saw Zayn and Liam wrestling beside the couch, "LET ME FUCKING HURT YOU LIKE YOU HURT ME", Zayn screamed as some tears fell out of his eyes. "THIS WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU WOULD’VE LET ME LOVE YOU", Liam yelled back. Zayn’s lip quivered and his eyes were retaining the visible tears that could over flow at any moment. He stood up and backed away, "Zayn", I called from behind him. He turned to meet my hand at full force, knocking the tears out of his eyes, "don’t touch my man”, I threatened. Liam stood and walked beside me, “the roles, have changed, haven’t they”, he questioned.
Zayn walked to the door and put his hand on the knob, “fuck you two, and fuck your relationship”, he spat disgustedly. He turned the knob and was me by two officers, taking him away in handcuffs.
********************
"You’ve come so far Nialler", Liam comforted," I finally feel free, I don’t have to hide from him anymore, or be beaten and threatened". We stood in the front yard and watched the police put my father’s unconscious body in the back of the car, I honestly didn’t care for his survival.
"You saved me, Liam", I said looking into his big brown eyes lit by the setting sun, "it was the least I could do, now, may I have the honor of being your boyfriend", he asked as he got on one knee. "You’re very lame, but I think I’ll manage", I replied.
"I’m glad I found you, I’m glad you’re safe now", he admitted once again, "me too, I feel safer with you, Liam".
