Oblivious || L.T Fan Fic

Chapter Four

Here's chapter 4 another long chapter so enjoy! Its Febraury Vacation and I haven't left the house for about 5 days....so ha all those people who went to Florida!

*Flashback*

Tom stood up and launched a foot right into my stomach making me gag a little. "Looks like its going to happen again you little bitch!" Tom screamed at me. "You don't belong on this earth! I hate you! I fucking hate you, you slut! You whore!" I started to cry, I couldn't get the energy to scream for help because Tom was draining my voice with every kick and hateful thing he said. Tom stepped back landing another hard kick in my stomach, screaming "YOUR A FUCKING DISGRACE!" He shoved up his sweatshirt and looked at the sports watch on his wrist then smiled as he looked down on my bloody, bruised body. "I think that's enough for now." He placed a foot on top of me. I grimaced in pain while Tom smirked obviously proud of his dirty work. "I have basketball in 10 minutes and I need to change, so I have to go sweetheart. To bad I couldn't knock you out before I left." He laughed and walked away leaving my body on the side of the street.

"Why...why did Tom do this to me? Why?" Was the last thing I thought before everything vanished in a black darkness.

*End of Flashback*

"Mmmmm." I groaned. I pushed myself up, grimacing when there was sharp pains pelting in my stomach and chest. I blinked and rubbed my eyes trying to get rid of the tears that were spilling down my cheeks. I struggled to stand up as the pain shot through my whole body. I saw the blood that stained my cardigan that was no longer pink but a deep shade of red. My white pants were no longer white and were covered in dirt. I put my left hand on the right side of my body hoping to stop the blood as I started walking down the road and back to the school.

I wasn't sure how late it was or how long I was out for, all I knew is that it was still light outside so the nurses at school would still be there and probably patch me up better than I could. I thought about my mother, Shay, who would probably bombard me with questions was soon as she saw me walk through the door. And Selena, my older sister who was in collage, that would tell me to be more careful with my body. I signed as I rounded that corner, walking slowly to make sure I didn't do any farther damage than what Tom gave me.

Tom. That bastard. How did he don't get any guilt from doing this to me? I don't even think he's a person. He's a monster sent from the devil himself. I continued my slow, crawl like, walking through the courtyard deep in my own thoughts. I opened the door and there was a gust of air when I entered the warm, heated building. Still gripping my side, I walked into the nurse's office and knocked on Mrs. Callahan's door (she's the nurse who knows me all too well) from all my previous incidents throughout my 3 years attending this school. You could say that she was one of my closest friends.

"Come in!" called a cheery voice from inside the office. I opened the door and slowly walked in, preparing myself for the questions that were probably going to be throw at me.

"Oh my goodness! Emma what on earth happened to you?" Mrs. Callahan asked as she rushed over to me and helped to the little bed on the side of the office near the wall of windows. "I um...I feel down the stairs and landed on the umm...the banister." I lied hesitantly, grimacing when she started to clean the cut on the side of my stomach. Mrs. Callahan looked at me obviously not believing in my lie but she continued to wipe all the blood on my skin and applied the Neosporin. I winced as she wrapped gauze around my waist. "Alright, now let me see that cut on your face." I turned so she could investigate my cheek. She wash it out, cleaning all the blood and dirt that was covering the long cut that stretched down the side of my left cheek. At least the bruise on my stomach was hidden but this very unattractive cut would bring a lot of attention. I sighed and wait for Mrs. Callahan to finish patching me up.

"Your all set. Would you like some Motrin?" She asked. I nodded and she walked over to the cabinet, pulled out 2 tablets and got me a glass of water. I gulped down the 2 pills enjoying the feeling of the cold water flow throughout my bruised body. "Now Emma." Mrs. Callahan looked at me. "Are you going to tell me what really happened or not?" I looked at her with sad eyes. No one knew that Tom bullied me except Niall, but I made him swear not to tell anyone because it would only make things worse for not only me but for everyone. So the less people who knew about the torture I went through, the better or somewhat better my life would be. Mrs. Callahan shook her hear when she realized I wasn't going to tell her any other reason why I ended up so bruised and sitting in her office.

"Okay Emma, your free to go but be careful alright especially since the varsity basketball practice is ending." Fuck! I forgot about basketball. I nodded to her gratefully as I tried to move quickly to the gym that was across the building to hopefully at least walk with Niall home. He was probably upset that I didn't show to sit with him and pissed that I didn't tell. Well, it wasn't my fault right? So he couldn't be so mad at me.

As I rounded the corner to the gym, I saw a flood of people walking out. Crap, it was already over. I saw a blonde walk out and I knew immediately that it was Niall. "MOFO!" I yelled weakly trying to get Niall's attention. He turned knowing that it was me because of the MoFo code that we used when we were trying to find each other and ran towards me avoiding the mob of people.

"EMMA AUSTIN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?! I BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE!" Niall screamed as he pulled me into a tight hug. I grimaced in pain and Niall pulled back bewildered. "Whoa...Emma what happened to you?" Niall said as he took in the ugly cut on my cheek and the bruises on my arms and legs, and my dirty white pants. I just looked at him and he knew exactly what happened without me having to explain anything because we were so close.

"He did it again didn't he?" Niall snarled under his breath. "Niall, its okay don't worry about it I'm fine." I reassured him.

"YOU ARE NOT FINE EMMA HE BEAT YOU OF AGAIN! THATS NOT OKAY YOU HAVE TO MAKE HIM STOP!"

"Niall he won't stop even if I do say something, he won't stop.. and I don't know why." I looked at him with tears threating to poor down my eyes. Niall looked at me with sadness and worry in his. Niall always felt the need to protect me ever since middle school when we first met. Niall was like the older brother that I never had. "Let's go home." Niall said quietly. I nodded and we walked to the front doors. Out of the corner, I saw a Louis all sweaty and gorgeous as always talking to Zayn Malik. Across from them, stood Tom talking to Liam. Tom and Louis looked weird near each other as if something happened. I couldn't help but feel some tension between the good and bad in my life. Then, Tom turned in my direction, and smirked at me as he saw me all patched up. I quickened my pace causing Niall to have to jog to keep up with me. I didn't slow down until we were well outside the school grounds.

"God Emma, could you walk any faster!" Niall complained as we started walking slower. I just shrugged and kept walking. "So, did I miss anything?" I asked trying to move past the subject of Tom that was probably going to be brought up.

"YOU DID! YOU WOULD NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!" Niall screamed being back to his normal loud, annoying self. I smiled and nodded for him to continue.

"LOUIS MISSED A FREETHROW DURING THE SCRIMAGE! LIKE HE ACTUALLY MISSED!" Niall said. I stopped in my tracks and looked at him completely bewildered. I was excepting something big because of his tone of voice but I didn't think it was that big.

"He what?" I asked still shocked. As we continued to walk towards our street, Niall explained the whole thing and that Louis probably missed because him and Tom got in a fight about something before practice. So that would explain the tension I felt between them. I wonder what happened.

Niall dropped me off at the front of my house, not walking towards his until he saw that I was safely inside. He was very overprotective of me. I opened that door, sighing because I know I would be bombarded with questions as soon as my family saw me. I walked into the mudroom, shook off my toms, throwing them in the basket underneath the coats that hung in a line across the wall. I walked into the brightly lit grey tiled kitchen and stopped when I saw my mother and my 2 sisters sitting together talking to him.

Why was he here? And why was he here now?

That's chapter 4! Fyi "he" is not Tom incase you are wondering. I hoped you enjoyed it!
