The Broken and Hurt (Niall Horan)

chapter 26

Nialls POV

today is one of the best days ive had in months.  the last good day was 3 months ago when my mum went on a' business trip' for a couple days and my dad had too many pints to even care. ed and I had a mini party by ourselves.  we didnt have to worry about anything.  it was so ..easy. like how normal families are supposed to be. but today was... relaxing. like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders temporarily. ed doesnt have to be afraid to be home by himself right now.  Speaking of my little brother, how is going to get home? I hope he tells Ms. Butler that he doesnt need a ride, because she usually gives him one. ill have to get him some how. maybe Lizzie will let me borrow her car whilst shes at practice. Its 4th period right niw and I don't see her until 8th period english. she has lunch next I think. Ill stop by her locker on my way to World History. 

Maths is seriously the longest class by far. yea I know all classes are 45 minutes, but this class lseems to go by for hours. I cant stand it. Algebra 3 with trig will be the death me. Even after checking homework, notes, and a lesson that would bore a librarian to sleep, there is still somehow at least 35 minutes of class left.  which where I usually let my thoughts run free as I doze in the corner by the cabinet. i put my calculator on my lap. after I take out my phone and hide it under the desk, my fingers quickly tapping at the touch screen in attempts of creating a message.

to Lizzie reeds :) from: me

" can I meet you at your locker before you go to eat? :)"

just as I place my phone back in my pocket thinking I got away scott free, I am sadly mistaken.

" Mr. Horan. are you texting in my class? ill have you know that is prohibited in school." Mrs. Mathers calls me out.  Her tight brown and grey hair is pulled into its usual twist thing. glasses resting on the bridge of her nose. beatty cold eyes staring over the rims. She a middle aged woman who follows some of the policies just a bit too strictly.

"no Mrs. Mathers."   " then what were you doing young man." suspicion rising in her voice.   I pull out the calculator and hold it up. " doing the problem on my calculator."  everyone is looking back at me now, eyes glazed over from her boring arse lesson. a look of trickery comes on her face.  " oh ok. then what is the answer Niall?" shiiii ... I look at the board and type a few things. I hold up one finger to ask for one second, no freaking clue of what im doing. whelp..time to guess.  " the answer is e= 3.89 over 72.9 ...er squared."  I paid some attention earlier. Mrs. Mathers checks the board and then her notes.   she looks back at me. " you got lucky this time Mr. Horan.  dont let me catch you again. " she replies a bit bitter. and returns to the lesson.  I pull my phine back out of my pocket and check the lockscreen, theres a message from Lizzie. lets hope she didnt get in trouble for her phone.

to: me from : lizzie reeds :)

"of course. :P"

I lock my mobile and return it to pocket and  lean my head against my hand and try to fall asleep. teachers and parents dont understand how stressful school can be. with tests that basically decide your future, homework, and university acceptance, there is no time to sleep or have a socaillife. We become sleep deprived between sports, class  and other activities which in turn makes us crabby and depressed. parents dont think its that hard to balance all of these, but until they actually experience it, all they say is bs. 

* DIINNGGG*

with everything in my bag I get up from my seat and walk to Lizzies locker.  down the locker covered walls and tiled floors, I find my destination. her backpack is hooked on the locker and she puts books and binders inside.  I meet her just as she zips it up and looks up and smiles when she sees me. I love how she does that.

" hi niall."  " hey Elizabeth." a playful frown plays across her lips. " you know I don't like being called Elizabeth."  "too bad" I shrug. she laughs.  "we'll work on it. anyway, what did you need to ask me? "  " oh right. do you think I could borrow the jeep so I could go get ed?"  " you mean debbie?" "what? who is debbie?"  " my jeep. I decided it needed a name so I dubbed it debbie." " why?"  "....I dont really know." she giggles.  " okay. can I borrow debbie to pick up ed?" "...hmm...I guess so. just be careful please. " " thank you elizabeth. "

*DINNNGGG*

"oh shit I gotta go.Ill catch you after school" i rush up some stairs. " ill see you before I go ti practice. bye niall" she waves. i rush through the history hallway until I get to my class. I open the door and step through and all eyes are on me like I just committed a murder.

" mr. horan care to explain why you are late?" mr. leto asks in his teacher voice.

" I was talking to a teacher. sorry."

" sit down Horan." I take my seat and open my book and zone out for the next 45 minutes.

Lizzies POV

*DINNNGGG*

the final bell of the day. time for practice. and ti give niall my keys. I wait outside of English and wait for him. 

"hey Elizabeth."   " Hi again. here are the keys to debbie. take care of her."  "that sounded weird. but i definately will. should i come back and get you after i pick up ed? what time does practice end?"    "umm yea just stop back here when youre done. ill just run a few miles then leave." " alright. see ya then. ill text you when im here." " Okay. bye niall." I hand him the keys and walk away. I headed to the bathroom to change. After that i went to the weight room and hopped on the  running machine.  I cranked up the speed to a nine and started spinting. After a while i could lfeel my shins cramping up and burning. 'i hate shin splints.' i ignored them and finished my miles. 

*ping* 

theres niall. I better go. I slowed down the speed to a walk. I grabbed my bags and rushed for the door. THe pain in my legs was worsening with each step. Its like jagged daggers on fire being dragged across my legs. They have never hurt this much, Its porobably becasue i didnt stretch. I open the passenger side door and pull myself into the seat. 

" Are you okay elizabeth?  you were limping really bad."  Niall asks very concerned. " yea im fine. Is just my shin splints. they hurt really bad today."  He nods and drives of. We pull up to my house, only after the pain is almost unbearable. I step out of the car and my legs give out from underneath me. I white light flashes across my eyes and feelign in my legs is gone. Blackness replaces my vision and my mind turns fuzzy.
