A/N: Okay so because it’s taking me a while to write and I have a lot planned for this chapter I thought it would be best to split it in half. So beacuse of that the next update should be really soon but please still tell me what you think of this part because it will help me to know what I should do for the rest of it! Thanks so much and happy reading! :) x
*******************************************************************************
When the elevator doors closed behind them I was left alone in the silence of the forgotten hallway and I finally allowed myself to break down. Crumbling to the ground, I brought my knees to my chin. I saw no reason not cry now that he was gone and so I began to sob until my eyes stopped producing tears.
(NIALL’S POV)
Louis had begun to get nervous after not hearing from Nora for a while but he was with Eleanor so I had promised to stop by the apartment to make sure she was okay. It wasn’t like I had anything better to do anyway. Liam had asked me to come over later but I wasn’t really in the mood to join in on his single guys pity party so going to see Nora was like a blessing in disguise. I waited impatiently for the elevator to come down and checked my phone again to see if Nora had called yet. She had sent me a text a few hours ago saying that she was fine and that they were just leaving the café but none of us had heard from her since and I had begun to get worried on the way over. Usually I wouldn’t be too worked up but it wasn’t like her to just drop out of contact like this. Even when she had been living with Anne we always made sure we talked at least once a day and now with everything that had happened recently I couldn’t help but worry. And that’s exactly what I did while I rode all the way up to the top floor, hoping that my worries wouldn’t turn in to a reality.
But the doors opened and my heart stopped. I dropped everything and ran to her side, picking her up and cradling her shaking form in my arms. “Shhh, it’s okay I’m here now. I’m here now I’ve got you. Shhh you’re alright Nora, it’s going to be okay.” I whispered soothing words to her as I wiped the hair out of her tear stained face and rocked her gently, waiting for the shudders to stop. “He, he was just using me Niall… he didn’t care about me at all, he never did. And now, now I’m so alone and-”
I cut her off then, trying to comprehend what had happened a put the missing puzzle pieces together; so Louis had been right after all. But I swear if this guy thinks he can just mess around with her and get away with it then he’s got another thing coming for him. I began to get up but her shaking hands held me tighter, preventing me from getting up and going to find that sorry son of a bitch. “Nora he can’t get away with doing this to you! I’m not going to let him just walk all over you okay?” I had to stop myself from raising my voice at Nora but her pleading blue eyes just stared back up at me with a look of pure desperation as she called out to me, begging me not to go. “Niall please don’t leave me,” Her voice was shaky and she spoke through new tears that had begun to fall, staining her porcelain cheeks as I held her tighter and made a promise to never let her feel alone again.
“Nora, come on love lets get you up. Do you have a key to the apartment?” When she didn’t answer I looked down only to see that she was wiping the mascara stains off her face as she shook her head, “Nora come on I need to get you out of here.” She fumbled a bit in her pockets and I reached out across the floor after spotting her brown leather bag nearby. Her body stiffened when I moved but I reassured her I was still here and attempted to look for the keys while still holding on to her. Soon though I was forced to give up and so I slipped my arm under hers and steadied her as she wobbled towards the doors with me while still trying to regain her composure.
I used my elbow to press the elevator button but was surprised when the doors opened to reveal a very confused Zayn standing on the other side. “What the fuck happened to her?” Nora’s head shot up at the sound of Zayn’s voice and but her lower lip just quivered as she failed, once again, to put into words what she had been through. “Look we can’t find her keys so could you help me get her down to mine and then we can call the other guys?” Zayn quickly took over helping me with Nora and within no time I had swung open my apartment door. “Shit sorry I should have cleaned up.” Mentally kicking myself for leaving my apartment in such a state Zayn just brushed it off and soon we had laid Nora down in my bed, after I had cleared it of all my dirty clothes, and I sat in there with her, trying to calm her down as we heard Zayn yelling on the phone from the other room.
