Still Alive But Barely Breathing (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Prologue

Cats POV

I was walking down the halls of Roseberry High School with my friends Jesimay and Morgan. We were discussing the plans for prom when I saw this blonde lad. He had braces and dyed blonde hair, his brunette hair seeping through the dye, and beautiful blue eyes.

No Cat. He's bad news.

Yeah, but he's so cute. Wait, no he's not! He broke Jesimay's heart!

So what are you going to do?

No. I will not fall for him.. but everything about his is HOT! Wait, no! I'm done with thinking if him, he's bad news.

Told you.

I sighed, not wanting to have another argument with my subconscious.

"Cat.. Cat! Did you even hear me?" Morgan asked bubbly but with the slightest hint of annoyance.

"No.. Sorry Morgan." I said sadly and looked up at her.

"Well, I said for prom we should have the theme 'The Last Chance For Love.' It's for all of the seniors that are leaving this year!" Morgan exclaimdd happily.

I said and cringed at the name. I didn't like it at all, and I knew I should tell her the truth instead of making her feel like we like it. "Morgan.. I don't think that should be the theme. I don't really like it, and what about the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshman?" I said trying to sound as nice as I could.

Morgan frowned but then nodded. "You're right.. how about.. 'Snowball Dance'? I mean, it is winter and it includes all of the students." She said bubbly.

Jesimay and I both nodded in agreement. "I love it!" Jesimay and I both said at the same time. We both looked at eachother. "Jinx! Double jinx! Triple jinx! Quad-" But I was interupted by Morgan putting her hand over my mouth.

"You better stop because your lovely boyfriend is on his way over." Morgan taunted and smirked.

I pulled Morgans hand away and turned around to see Zayn walking up me and gently pushed me up against the lockers and kissed me softly. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, tasting smoke and mint on his tongue. "Zayn stop... the last time this happened we got detention." I pouted and faintly pushed him away, but he kept his arms wrapped around my waist protectively.

"Like I care.. I could just take away your virginity in front of everyone because you wearing that skirt just makes me want to fuck you against the lockers." Zayn whispered into my ear, making my cheeks flush a deep red. Zayn chuckled and pulled away. "Baby meet me at my house at seven, okay?" He smiled amd winked before walking away.

I smiled and watched him walk away. Sure, I was American and dating a Muslim, but love didn't matter who you are and what you looked like, it was just what the person made you feel, and he made me feel so giggly and beautiful. I sighed, wondering why he wanted me at his house at seven tonight. Why so late?

Nialls POV
I watched as Zayn pushed Cat up against the lockers and I could feel my blood boil. She was mine, even though she didn't know it yet. Sure, I followed her around outside of school and had pictures of her all over my wall, but that was completely normal when you are desperately in love with someone, right? I don't know, but who cares?

I was hers, even if she didn't know that I would make sure nobody gets in my way. Especially her stupid, no good of a boyfriend Zayn fucking Malik.

I groaned and slammed my fist against tye locker as hard as I could, denting the locker and almost breaking it. Everyone looked at me, even Cat. I sighed and shook my head. I had no intention of scaring her and I already did. This was going to be a long day.

I pulled out my phone and saw that my mum had texted me, saying today I was getting out early to get my braces off. I smiled and sighed in relief. Thank fucking god. I went to the office and got a pass. When I left the office I bumped into Zayn. "Come with me." I growled and motioned him to follow me.

We left campus and was heading towards the football(soccer) field. When I turned around my fist connected with his stupid nose and he fell to the ground, holding his nose that was bleeding. He wiped his nose and got up, growling. "Cat is fucking mine! If I can't have her than no one can!" I screamed and kicked his stomach. I punched and I kicked and I did everything I could until he was on the edge of being unconscious. I smiled and made him call Cat.

Cats POV

I heard my phone ringing and I pulled it out, smiling when I saw that it was Zayn. "Hi baby." I said happily.

"Cat.." He said, sounding hurt and weak. "We need to break up." He breathed out before hanging up. I gasped and stared at my phone flabbergasted. I couldn't believe my boyfriend of 2 years just broke up with me for no reason. I looked around class and saw Niall walk in with bloody hands and some blood spots on his shirt. He stared at me and smirked before taking a seat right next to me. I kept staring at the door and saw Zayn limping towards the nurses office. I gasped and wanted to go out there to help him, but the bell had rung. All these thoughts ran through my mind until I came to the conclusion that Niall had beaten Zayn.

What have I gotten myself into?

(Hiii my little birdies! I hope you like my first book! If you guys vote and comment, then I update faster! I want to get this straight first. No, I don't have anything wrong with any of the lads, and calling Zayn Muslim in this wasn't because I don't like him, which I do. Please vote amd comment!)
