Our Little Secret | n.h

Chapter Thirteen

*Elaina's POV*

Niall closed the door, he muttered "i'm sorry", what was he sorry for? Once he closed the door, i still stayed there confused. I was about to leave until i heard a thud. I started to bang on the door

"Niall? Niall? Niall!" I started calling out his name, but no answer. I kept banging on the door, trying to open it but it was no use. I looked through the window, i couldn't see much. There was a little opening between the curtains and the blinds. I looked through there and saw Niall on the ground, knocked out. I pulled out my phone to try and call the police.

"Oh sweetheart, you're smarter than that" i hear a voice behind me. I turn around and there was Niall's dad, Dave. He walked closer to me, i backed up everytime he took a step closer to me. I tried to run but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him really hard.

"You will not say a word about this. If you want your little boyfriend alive, i suggest you keep your mouth shut. If you don't, i doubt you'll see the next morning" He threatened.

Dave let go of my wrist and pushed me on the ground. He left a huge red mark on my wrist. He glared at me and went inside the home. I quickly got up and ran home. I can't believe that just happened.. Dave treated Niall exactly the same way my father treated me.

I got home, finally. I sighed of relief as i walked through my living room.

"Hi Eli, everything okay?" My mum asked, oh she's here early.

"Yeah, how are you home so early?" I asked her

"My boss decided to let me go early since i have been working nonstop everyday" she answered.

"That's great, at least you're here with me" i smiled and hugged her. It felt good to get love from a parent. Even if you only have just one.

"Go upstairs love, i'll call you when dinner is ready" My mum said. I nodded and went upstairs to my room. I changed out of my clothes to a pair of grey sweatpants and a white lace tanktop. I left my hair down since i didn't feel like putting it in a bun. I grabbed my phone to see if i have any messages. I only had one, but it didn't say who it was from..

Unknown: i'm watching you, keep your mouth shut or you'll be sorry.

I gasped and dropped my phone. How did he even get my number. Now that Dave is watching me, it seems like i can't do anything to save Niall. He shouldn't be treated like the way i was. He doesn't deserve it. Why hasn't he ever told me? Was he scared? There's so many things i have to find out. I didn't answer back to Niall's father. I laid down on my bed, listening to some music to calm me down. I looked to check the time and it was already 7:45 p.m.

I'm really scared for Niall. Why did i leave him? I should have done something instead of running away. But i guess it's all i do, run. Because i'm too weak to do anything else, not even fight my own battles. People kick me down so much that i thought 'what's the point of getting up, if i'm just going to get kicked down once more' That's why i am so scared of most things. I need to figure out a way to help Niall. He can't stay like this, not the way i was. I wonder how long this has been going on..

"Elaina! Time to eat!" My mother called me from downstairs. I forced myself to get up and walk downstairs. I looked at my wrist, i still see the red mark Dave left me. Also the scars i have created myself. What am i going to do?
