*Niall's P.O.V.*

​I saw my wife lying unconscious in the corner of the room. Blood was pouring from a wound in the side of her stomach. There were scratches and bruises covering her body. But, the weirdest thing was that she was all alone. Her Grandfather wasn't here. What exactly happened?

​I ran over to her side, "Nicole, please, wake up!" I begged, as I crouched beside her. I lifted her up in my arms, "Nicole, don't leave me! I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have said any of that! I-I cheated on you... it was the biggest mistake of my life. I regret it so much, and I thought that you didn't deserve me. I-I just wanted you to leave me, but you ended up going to this... I should've known... I-I'm so sorry."

​Suddenly, I heard sirens outside of the locker. The police must be here. I quickly scooped Nicole up in my arms. I carefully carried her in my arms. I carried her out of the locker and towards the exit.

​I saw all the police officers, ambulance, the boys, and... the press? Wait, they found us? No, they can't see what happened to Nicole! That could lead to questions, and they could find out about how I cheated on her. It could ruin everything, causing us to never get back together. I can't tell them a thing.

​The police ran over, and began yelling questions all at once. The press crowded around me, too, also asking lots of questions, too many for me to handle. The people at the ambulance rushed through, with a stretcher. They took Nicole from my arms and set her on the stretcher. They started hooking up all these different things to her.

​I simply stared at my wife, as she was wheeled away. I watched them close the doors of the ambulance and drive away, leaving me alone with the press. I can only talk to the police.

​The police were instructing the reporters to move away, so they could talk to me. A couple police officers pulled me away, and instructed to tell me what happened. I ended up telling them all I knew. I couldn't tell them much, but I told them all that I knew.

​I showed them where I saw her body. They began examining the knife, and following the blood trail that I had followed. They dismissed me, but warned me that I would probably have to talk to them again.

​I left and walked back out to the open area. Reporters were taking pictures of the car crashed into the wall, me, and were asking the boys questions. I pushed past them, not wanting to talk about it.

​They ran after me, screaming questions. I simply walked to the boys, "We're going to the hospital," I told them, as I walked to the car. The reporters were still following behind, as we got into the car. Louis pulled us out of the building parking lot, and we drove towards the hospital.

​"Okay, can someone explain to us what's going on?" Harry asked, "Louis didn't say a thing. He just told us that Nicole was in trouble. I can obviously tell that she was hurt badly, but how?"

​"I don't know how she was hurt, I guess a knife," I muttered, "She ran off, b-because..." I trailed off, not wanting to finish. Harry and the others looked at me confused, "Why did she run away?" Liam asked.

​"A-Ask Louis," I mumbled, hiding my face in my hands. I heard Zayn ask Louis, "What happened between them, Louis?"

​"Niall cheated on Nicole," Louis said, simply, saying the words that wouldn't come off of my tongue. I heard them gasp, "What?" Harry exclaimed, "B-But I thought you loved her!"

​"I-I do!" I protested, "I-I made a mistake, when I went drinking... I ended up having sex with a girl at the bar... I regretted it the moment I woke up... I don't know how to fix things anymore! I can't take her back! She doesn't deserve me! B-But, I can't live without her at the same time..."
