The Lost Souls (Emo/Punk Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 20 - Crucify Me

*Nikita's P.O.V.*

Tonight Gemma's at a party with some friends and Auntie Anne is on a business trip, so it's just Harry and I at home tonight.

I'm currently sitting in my room waiting for Niall to show up now that he's back from Ireland.

I got up from my bed when I heard a gentle tapping on my window.

Niall clumsily crawled inside the open window, tripping.

"Fuck!" He exclaimed, in pain.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" I whispered.

Harry must've heard Niall because it wasn't long before my bedroom door flew open.

"What the fuck is going on?!" He boomed.

"It's fine, Niall just tripped"

"Why is Niall here?" Harry asked, clenching his fists.

"I sleep here" Niall told him.

"What?!"

"Nikki lets me sleep here with her"

"Why?" Harry responded.

"I have bad night terrors" Niall quietly confessed.

"Because you were kidnapped when you were younger?"

"Who told you?" Niall retorted as his head shot up.

"I accidentally let it slip when I was talking to Harry and Liam after the first day of school" I confessed. "I told them not to tell anyone"

"Don't worry, we haven't and we won't" Harry assured him.

"You better not" Niall threatened.

"I won't and I better not hear any sex noises coming from this room"

"Goodnight, Harry" I said, basically telling him to leave.

"I'm serious, if I hear anything remotely sexual-"

"Yeah, yeah, if you hear anything remotely sexual you'll kick Niall's ass. Goodnight, Harry" I said, cutting him off.

"Goodnight" he replied, leaving my room.

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"You forgot to close the door" I pointed out.

"Right" he said, closing the door.

Niall got up off the floor and we climbed into my bed. Niall pulled his shirt over his head before tossing it aside.

"Are you mad that I told Liam and Harry about you being kidnapped?" I asked him.

"No, it was an accident. I just don't want everyone knowing"

"I understand. There's actually something I need to tell you"

"You told the school I was kidnapped while I was away?" He chuckled.

"No, while you were away I met Manson" I started.

"Louis' dealer? He's a cool guy"

"Yeah, he is. He wanted me to let you know that Marcus is gonna turn 18 in about a week"

"So he's gonna be getting out soon" Niall said, inhaling sharply.

"Yeah, he doesn't know that you're in London, but it won't be long before he figures it out. He wants revenge. Manson told me to tell you if you need anything, his boys have got your back"

"What am I gonna do?" Niall asked, looking a little... Scared. I've never seen him look scared before.

"I don't know, but he probably won't even find you. There's millions of people in London"

"He'll find me and he'll probably kill me. Marcus is a very determined person. He doesn't care if he doesn't find me until after Rodney gets out, he'd probably prefer it, then they could team up on me" Niall replied.

"What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know. I'll probably just keep a low profile" he told me.

"What happened the night you were kidnapped?"

"Rodney and I were best friends, we were hanging out with another friend of ours like any other summer day. We lived near each other, so we walked home together. When we reached his house, I started to say goodbye to him when Marcus invited me inside. I decided to go inside for a few minutes and Rodney's mum made me some chocolate milk. I don't remember much after that, I found out later that she drugged me. I don't know how I got there, but when I woke up I was locked in the closet" he told me.

"She drugged you?!" I exclaimed. He nodded in response. "You were 8!"

"She didn't care, she saw me as easy money"

"That's terrible. What happened after they locked you in the closet?" I asked him.

"It was very cluttered, I couldn't really move, that's why I'm so claustrophobic. It wasn't long before I figured out that Rodney's dad is a drunk with a bad temper and they only brought me food once a day and it was usually a piece of bread or some leftovers. They wouldn't let me out until my parents paid the ransom, but every time my parents would try to pay them they wouldn't go collect the money because they were afraid of getting caught"

"How long were you held captive?"

"Almost all of my summer holiday. They made my parents drop the money off at some random location where they made sure there weren't any tracking devices hidden in the money. That night, when it was too dark for the neighbors to see me, they let me go home"

"They just let you walk home? That's not safe!" I replied.

"I know, what if someone kidnapped me?" He said sarcastically before chuckling. "I probably looked terrible, my hair was greasy, I hadn't slept or eaten much and I was covered in bruises"

"So Rodney's dad took his anger out on you?"

"Yeah, and I have a feeling that Marcus plans on doing the same" he told me.
