~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Niall's P.O.V*

I had to walk home from school alone, since Louis had to stay after to see the teacher about his grades. Liam texted me just last night about me and my mum coming over for dinner tonight, so I was really nervous about meeting his parents. As I walked off school property, I kept looking around and behind me to make sure I wasn't being followed. I guess I'm still paranoid from 6th grade that people were going to unexpectedly jump me and slam me into the cement. I got lost in my thoughts for about 10 minutes before I heard the sound of footsteps behind me.

*Liam's P.O.V* (A/N: didn't see that one coming huh did ya usually I change POVS every chapter or 2 and yeah unexpected plot twist ok continue reading)

I was just sitting on my bed, thinking about life when all of a sudden, I remembered something. I forgot my homework at school. 'SHIT!' I thought to myself. I got out of bed and grabbed my coat.

"Liam? Where are you going?" my dad called out from the living room.

"I left my homework at school, I was just going to take the car to go back to school and get it, I think the school is still open!" I called back.

"Ok, don't be too long, the Horans will be coming over shortly and we're not waiting for you to come back" Dad responded.

I grabbed the car keys off the counter and ran out the door and started the car. Almost immediately, I hit the gas and drove towards the school.

*Niall's P.O.V*

It was getting dark, and I wasn't halfway home yet. I heard footsteps behind me, but when I turned around to look, all I saw was a startled stray cat. I don't know what that cat was startled about, but I know it wasn't good. I continued walking, thinking the footsteps were just my imagination. I stopped walking to make sure. I still heard them. They were getting closer, and I couldn't see anything because of the darkness.

There. The thing making the footsteps stepped into the light of the streetlight. It was Josh.

My abusive ex boyfriend.

*Liam's P.O.V*

I drove along the street, nearing the school. About 100 yards away from the school was the Starbucks I went to with Niall. As I passed the Starbucks, I heard a horrific, horror movie-type scream, causing me to slam on the brakes.

It sounded familiar.

Even if I didn't know who the scream belonged to, I couldn't just stand by like I didn't hear it. I put the keys in my pocket, jumped out of the car, locked it, and ran towards where I heard the scream coming from. It was coming from down the street. 'How did I not notice anything when I just passed by there?!?' I mentally groaned. I ignored that fact and continued running towards the source of the scream. I had completely forgotten about the homework I had back at the school. Screw homework, I think I know who that scream belonged to, and I have to figure out what happened.

I slowed down my running to a fast jog, and looked around. I could barely see anything in the darkness. I ran to the nearest streetlight,  hoping I'd see something from over there. As I neared it, I saw someone moving, and the dark shadow of another person moving the opposite way. In the dark, I couldn't tell who they were, but I knew they were both males. It looks like the shadow in the dark was facing torward the guy in the streetlight, but moving slowly backwards, while the other person was moving towards him.

Suddenly, the shadow took off running the opposite direction, and the guy in the streetlight was running after him, before tackling him to the ground.

I took off running as well, towards the wrestling strangers to break it up.

As I got closer to them, I could tell who they were. The guy wrestling the other guy was Josh Devine.

The guy he was wrestling was Niall.
