Bad Blood {n.h}

Chapter Thirteen

Niall's POV 

I won. 

Of course I did.

But to be fair, Edgar did land great punches and almost won a couple times. 

"Too close of a call again, Horan. Don't screw it up." Tyler had said after the match. 

At least I won, Tyler got his money and I get the pride of winning. Driving back to my dorm with a satisfied smile on my face. 

The drive back seemed to be longer than usual but I was glad to finally reach my dorm. 

"Yo?"I called out to see if James was in.

"Yup." He shouted back and appeared in front of me. 

"You won." He fake clapped.

"How'd you know?" 

"Whenever you win a match you carry yourself differently. I do it too." He shrugged.

"You should've seen my opponent tonight, he was huge. Didn't stop me though." I smiled and James laughed softly.

"Your girlfriend stopped by like an hour girl." He folded his lips into his mouth and stared at me.

"Really? What did she say?" 

"She was looking for you, I don't know. She seemed kinda shaken up, I think something happened." He nonchalantly said. 

"What? James!" My eyes were wide.

"What?" He shouted back.

"You didn't ask her what's wrong or try to, I don't know, comfort her?"

"Don't be a pussy." 

"Jesus.." I muttered, running out of the dorm.

"Where are you going?" James called after me and I quickly glanced back like, 'Don't be stupid.'

I sped walk the rest of the way to Addison's dorm, knocking heavily on the door. 

After what felt like too long, the door opened. 

"Niall?" Addison's smaller voice squeaked, her eyes squinting from the blinding hall lights.  Her hair was wet and she was an oversized t-shirt I'm assuming from California since it had the Hollywood sign across the chest. 

"I woke you up, sorry." I apologized, "I just wanted to come and check on you, James said you came to see me and you looked like something was wrong." 

"Oh.." Her eyes fell and I began to get worried. 

"What happened? Did someone touch you,I swear I'll beat the shit out of them." I grabbed her shoulders and she looked up at me.

"What? Oh god no, Niall. I wasn't raped. I-" She stopped talking and pulled me into the dorm, turning on the lights. 

"Amelia.." I muttered. 

"She's not here, let me tell you what happened. So Amelia and I went to the club tonight and Amelia had way too much to drink so I said it was time to leave. She had lost her keys so we had to walk, it was the same club from the beginning of the semester. Anyway, we were walking by all these buildings with dark alleys between them. Amelia was skipping of in front of me, running into parking meters and crap. When we passed by an alley where I heard a lot of chanting or cheering and I made Amelia wait for me and I want to see what it was. The alley had a corner that led to all this open space and I peeked my head around the corner and there was a huge crowd of people. I couldn't see what was going on and I didn't notice a big guy staring at me until he told me to get the hell out of there. Niall, he had a gun. I never ran so fast in my life." Addison was crying by the end of her story telling.
