[57] Two Different Worlds

Liam-24 Niall-16

Niall walks into the lunchroom of his school, sighing softly to himself once he finds his spot in the dark corner of the cafeteria. He sets down his backpack and begins eating his homemade lunch, looking around the large room carefully.

Before he could start thinking to himself, his two friends Louis and Harry sit down with him with their lunches from the school, gentle smiles on their bright faces. They make him so happy.

"How are you feeling today, Nialler? You seem a little less upset." Niall smiles a bit at Louis' words, continuing on with eating his turkey sandwich. He swallows the bit he was chewing and sighs.

"I'm doing a bit better today. Still not over the fact that my brother is gone, but I'm getting there..." He stated. Louis and Harry frown, but they both give him a big kiss to the forehead. That makes the blonde smile wide.

"We'll always be here for you, Niall, we promise. Just be careful out there, because you know what's going on in our town." The blonde clenches his jaw, but he knows what Harry is talking about.

"Y-Yeah I know... Those gangs that came in fücked everything up in my life... Sorry for the fowl language." A light pink color coats the blonde's cheeks, but his friends chuckle and shake their heads.

"It's alright that you swore, Ni. It helps to let out your anger, but if you don't like it, say fudge." Niall giggled softly. Harry gives great advice.

All Niall does is nod though, before hearing a loud gun shot ring in the lunchroom and loud ear piercing screams rush through his ears.

The trio gets down and under the table as multiple gun shots continue to go off, tears prickling Niall's eyes, but Louis and Harry seem to be more calm.

They rub the little one's back and let out soft breaths, having gone through this a good number of times already, sadly.

"Just stay silent, Nialler," Louis whispered into Niall's ear, earning a slight nod from the boy. The three then stay silent as they continue to hear the loud gunshots, their hearts racing very quickly, while some of the people's hearts have stopped.

Before long, the shots die down and the three are safe, but they hear loud, combat booted steps stepping toward them. They cover each of their mouths carefully, but the person looks under the table, locking eyes with Niall.

He grabs the little, blonde boy's arm and pulls him up. Niall gets carried on the person's shoulder, tears leaving his eyes as he sobs while looking at his friends who are crying under the table.

"Wh-What do you want from me?" Niall whispers to the bulky man, after getting set down in the nearby school bathroom, being pressed up against the hard, teal wall.

The man has plenty of tattoos on his arms, a bottom lip piercing and a beanie covering his subtly showing brown locks.

He's quite an attractive male, but Niall's thoughts are clouded with fear and nothing else, because of this man who can kill him at any moment.

"Shockingly, I'm not the type to save people, but you, when I looked into your eyes, I felt something. I may be a gang leader, but I have feelings too," the man stated into Niall's ear, making the younger boy whimper. He's scared.

"Don't even bother trying to run away though, because if you try to run, you'll die, and not by me. You need me by your side in order to live through these times and you know that now, little one." This man was right. Niall couldn't live through this without him, because he is quite defenseless.

"O-Okay... Wh-What's your name, th-though?" The brunette man chuckles and removes his beanie, stuffing it into his left pocket to reveal his gorgeously soft, brown locks fully. Niall is nearly drooling, but he needs to stop.
