Abused | Niall Horan

Chapter 1- Muddy Shoes

"Okay class is dismissed." Our professor announced.

The scraping of chairs and chatter echoes around the classroom, I grab my book and put it into my backpack.

I slide my bag onto my back and walk out of the classroom following behind all the shouting boys.

I roll my eyes and make my way to my locker.

I grab my key out of my pocket and open it, placing my textbooks inside for Monday.

When I close it, I see Emma running towards me.

"Alex, are you coming to my party tonight?"

"Yeah, obviously, I wouldn't miss it for the world." I say wrapping an arm over her shoulder.

"Good, and erm I have to go now, Matty is waiting for me."

"Oh okay, have fun." I make a kissy face at her.

"Shut up!" She says walking away.

"Nope!" I laugh, "see you tonight!"

"Yep!"

I walk down the corridor towards the door, and bump into someone.

"Sorry." I apologise and look up to see Jayden- Josh's friend.

"Whatever." He says and pushes me out of the way.

Dick.

"Alex!"

I sigh and turn around to see Josh with his friends.

"What?" I plaster a smile on.

"Come here."

I slowly walk towards him and he wraps his arms around my waist. His hands go lower than Im comfortable with and he grabs my butt.

There's lots of wolf whistles and his annoying friends yell stuff, congratulating him for his actions.

Jerks.

I pull away and try to look okay, but inside I'm uncomfortable and want to get out of there.

"Okay, I'll see you later Josh."

"Whatever."

I stare at him, and he says "bye." Waving with a completely fake smile for the amusement of his friends.

I walk away and when I'm out of view, I run, I need to get ready for Emma's party, and I need to get away from those dicks.

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

My phone rings and Josh's name light up on my screen. I sigh and reluctantly answer it.

"Hello."

"Hey baby, what you doing tonight?"

"I'm going to a party."

"What?"

"I said I'm going to a party."

"Who's?"

"Emma's."

"Oh. I'm coming."

"Are you invited?"

"No."

"Then you can't."

"I can do whatever the hell I want."

I don't want to argue, it never ends well.

"Okay."

"I'm coming over to yours, to get ready and stuff."

"Okay." I say, "see you then."

I hang up and put my phone down, I need to get ready before he gets here, or he'll make some stupid comment.

I run into my bedroom and get a blue dress out, its light blue, probably more turquoise actually.

It nearly goes down to my knees and has a white ribbon around my waist and a bow on the front.

I go to my mirror and brush my hair so it's not tangled. I get the curlers from my cupboard and plug them in.

Once they are heated I begin to curl my strands of hair. Soon my brown locks are curly and I position them over my shoulders.

I grab my makeup bag and face wipe, and remove the makeup I wore to school, (which wasn't a lot) and put some moisturiser on. I grab my foundation and rub it onto my face, then some powder to make it less shiny.

I apply a few coats of mascara and some eyeliner to make my eyes stand out more, and finally some blusher and lipgloss.

Just as I zip my makeup bag up the doorbell rings and I rush to the door.

I open it to see Josh standing there, staring at his phone, he doesn't greet me, and just walks into my apartment and sits down.

"Hey." I say.

"Hi."

I twiddle with my fingers thinking of something to say, "so, are you going to get changed?"

"Are you going to shut up?" He snaps.

I look at him with widened eyes.

"Okay." I say.

I walk into the kitchen and get a glass out of the cupboard and walk to the fridge and get the carton of orange juice.

I pour myself a drink and lean against the counter, sipping it.

I pull my phone out of my purse and check it.

No notifications.

I lock it and walk back into the livingroom where Josh is sat with his muddy shoes on my seats. I have to convince myself not to walk up to him and move his feet, that would end badly like last time.

I shudder at the memory of Josh slapping me in the face after I argued with him.
