"Danny! You know your not allowed near me don't make me call the police!" I say taking a step back but walking into the gate. I'm cornered and he's walking closer. He picks me up onto his shoulder and I kick and punch at him but nothing seems to bother him. I scream. I cry. I even bite but nothing bothers him. He starts to walk down the street but finally puts me on the ground. He grabs my by my hair and pulls me closer to his face to the point where I can feel him breathing on me.
"Shut your mouth you little brat no one cares." He spits. I go to slap him round my face but someone grabs my hand and stops me. I turn to see a skinny girl with scraggly looking hair and dark make up around her eyes that looks like has been there for a few days and she has a top that's practically wearing her it's so big with ripped leggings and some tatty boots. She walks around me and stands next to Danny.
"Is this her? Is this the one?" She laughs. He nods at her and she burst out laughing.
"Sorry am I missing the joke here? Get off me Danny or I will call the police!" I shout while grabbing my phone. She knocks it out of my hand and it smashes as it lands on the concrete.
"Sorry accidents happen! What was you saying?" She laughs. This girl is pissing me off. I go to jump at her and rip that ugly hair out of her scalp but Danny pulls me back.
"What are you playing at you little bitch! Are you going to let her do this, seriously?" She shouts looking at Danny.
"Don't worry when we get her back to the garage we will get her back. For everything." He says smiling at me. Where the fuck is Niall? He should be here by now!
"Lola?" I hear a voice say from behind me. It's Niall by the school gate looking for me. I yank my wrist out of Danny's clutches and run towards Niall.
"Niall he's here, run!" I scream as he turns to face me. I run to him and grab his wrist.
"Lola let me deal with him!" Niall says as he stops running.
"No! Niall don't let's get out of here!" I scream dragging him along with me.
"Get her! There is no way I'm letting her get away again!" I hear Danny shout to a group of people wearing dark clothes. They are getting nearer and I can't keep up with Niall. He picks me up and sprints. I cry into his shoulder in terror as they get closer. Niall passes me his phone.
"Call Paul!" He shouts.
"He can't help. Not with Danny!" I tell him.
"He will don't underestimate him there's stuff you don't know. He lives near here. Call him!" He's starting to sound scared too. I saw Paul's number and called him. All of a sudden a black van pulled out in front of us and Niall threw me in as the door was swung open. Niall jumped in too and slammed the door as the car drove off speeding. My heart is pounding and I can't stop crying.
"Thanks mate." Niall says. He's acting as if Paul just payed for lunch has he seriously forgotten that he's saved our lives?
"Thank you Paul. You saved us." I say in between sobs.
"No problem darling." Seriously? Why are they acting like everything's fine.
"Niall?" I say looking at the floor.
"Yeah?" He says. I can feel him looking at me.
"He's not going to stop looking for me, tracking me down you-" I'm interrupted by him kissing me gently. He in wipes the tears from my face.
"As long as I'm around he won't lay a finger on you." He whispers softly. But he did didn't he? He did touch me. He did hurt me.
"Niall, I don't think I should stay with you I don't want to risk your life." I say with tears refilling my eyes.
"No! You need me. I need you. We need each other." He whispers.
"Niall you barely know me I don't want you to get hurt or worse because of me. Danny will never stop. He will find me. He will get me. No matter what." I explain through the tears.
"Let him come! Let him find us! I will defend you no matter what." He tells me. I lean up and kiss him.
"I love you Niall," I whisper in his ear as he pulls me into a hug.
"And I love you too Lola." He whispers.
Paul drops me and Niall home and when I get in I search for my old phone because I left the other one and even if I picked it up it was smashed to pieces anyway. Finally, I put it on charge and see a text.
*Unknown*
Isn't Sam leaving on Friday? Why don't I say a final goodbye?
Danny x
I dial Sam's number.
"Hello? Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"You have to leave. Tonight. It's not safe anymore."
