Broken Trust

Chapter 9:

Niall’s pov:

I pulled away from Liam’s grasp.

“I’m going to help you with this girl, Niall,” Liam says.

“Thanks mate,” I say.

“Niall, does she have any other clothes other than that dress?” Liam asks.

Uh-oh. I know where this is going. Time to get awkward.

“I don’t want to sound like Harry, but we need to undress her. Get her into something else,” Liam says as casually as possible.

“Maybe try to wake her up first, then if she doesn’t wake up, we’ll change her ourselves.”

“Sounds like a plan. Let’s go,” Liam said while getting off the couch and walking to my room, with me following close behind. Liam sits on the bed next her and shakes her arm a little, “Hey love, wake up?” he says more as a question.

“Her name is Jessica,” I tell him.

“Jessica, wake up!” he said shaking her arm a little more forcibly. 

Nothing.

“Niall, please don’t take this weird or do anything inappropriate, but we have to undress and change her.”

I just nod and walk closer to her.

Liam’s pov:

Niall nodded his head and walked over to her.

“Niall, you can get the belt undone on her dress while I take off her shoes and jewelry. Then, we’ll pull the dress off down her body, not up, okay?” I ask. This is extremely awkward. Niall once again, just nods his head.

Nervously, he undid the belt and put it on the nightstand while I took off her heels and jewelry. We looked at eachother, then started pulling the dress down. Once we got the dress off, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Her whole body was covered in scars and cuts and faded bruises. I look up at Niall. He’s staring at her body, crying. He looked up at me.

“Liam, she told me her mom abused her and that she’s been a self-harmer for a year now, but I didn’t think it was this bad,” his voice is quiet, just above a whisper. He got the clothes he picked out for her and gave me the shirt while he put the sweat pants on her. Niall kissed her forehead again, but this time he was crying, and walked out of the room.

“Ni, we’re going to help her, okay? She’s going to be fine.”

He nodded and went to the kitchen for food.

Jessica’s pov:

I woke up in a bed. In a room. In a place I’ve never been before. Why am I here? I don’t remember what happened after I fell asleep on that blanket with Niall. The bedroom door opens and some guy comes in. 

“Hi Jessica. I’m Liam, Niall’s roommate, we share this flat,” he explained.

“Um, hi. Why am I here?” I ask.

“Niall said you fell asleep. He doesn’t know where you live so he brought you back here to our place.”

“Where’s my clothes? Wait, oh my gosh… Did we do anything!?”

“No love, he didn’t take advantage of you,” he said laughing, “we changed you out of your dress.”

Liam and Niall saw me half naked.

My cuts and scars…

“Um, did you guys see my, um, did you guys see anything like, um-“

“Yes.”

“Oh God. Please don’t judge me, please-“

He pulls me into a hug and cut me off.

“Niall told me. We’re here for you Jessica, we can help.”

We both started crying. Wait, why isn’t Niall here?

“Liam?”

“Yes Jessica?”

“Where’s Niall?”

“He went to talk to Si- Someone…”

“Okay,” I say, and then there was a knock on the bedroom door.

“Come in,” Liam says.

“Can I talk to you Liam?” It’s Niall.

“Yeah one sec Ni,” Liam says. He turns to me and says, “I’ll be right back love.”

Then he left.

I turned around and went into the bathroom that’s attached to the room. I went in there and do my business and wash my face then walk into the bedroom to find Niall and Liam sitting there, smiling. Niall grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the bed.

“Jessica, I’ve been thinking about everything you told me, and I was wondering if you would like to move in with me. It’d have to be next week due to my job, but would you like to?” Niall asks. I guess I was in shock for a long time because he adds, “I mean, you don’t have to, I’m just saying if-“

“Yes Niall! I would love to move in with you!” I beamed, hugging him. I pulled away and we started laughing. 

Then we looked into eachothers eyes. Before I can catch up to reality, we’re both leaning in, inching closer and closer together. Our lips are just centimeters apart, then there’s a knock on the door. We quickly jump apart blushing fiercely.

Liam (still being in the room) coughs, breaking the awkward silence. Me and Niall walk into the kitchen to get breakfast while Liam stops by the door to see who it is. Niall opened the door to the fridge, when we hear laughing from the doorway.
