Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

29++I Never Thought That'd Ever Happen To Me

Niall's POV

"Alyson!" I cried, rushing over to her fragile body.

"Niall, please don't look at me." she sobbed quietly, trying to hide her exposed body from me.

"Aly, I don't care--"

"Niall," she paused. "Please."

I looked the opposite direction of her. I hate that she feels uncomfortable in front of me right now. I don't want her to ever be uncomfortable in front of me.

"Who did this to you?" I asked. "Was it him?" I referred to her father.

I waited for a response from her but never got one. "Was it him." I repeated in a fierce tone. She shook her tiny head with an even more frightened look on her face. Great, now she's scared of me.

I took off my jacket and placed it over her. She was covered for the most part but she still begged me not to look at her. I respected that and I helped her stand up. Her clothes were thrown all over the place and they were too ripped to put back on.

"Stay here." I commanded and placed a protective kiss on her forehead.

I speed-walked around the house, searching for Rob but he was nowhere in sight.

"That bloody coward." I said angrily through my teeth. I dashed up the stairs and charged into Aly's room, collecting every item we had brought.

"Al!" I called. "We're leaving!"

I placed all but a shirt, jeans, and converse for Aly in our suitcases. When I met her downstairs, she was in the same place she was when I left her. But this time, she was back in a ball on the ground. I dropped the suitcases to the ground and rushed over to her. She was crying her eyes out and I tried hugging her but she rejected me. I actually started crying too.

I never want to see her like this again.

"Aly, please calm down." I pleaded but she just shook her head.

"I-I-I can't! I was raped, Niall! Me! A-and I...I..." she wept. "I just can't." her voice softened.

I wanted so badly to hold her in my arms, but she'd just push me away again. Instead, I handed her the clothes I had left out for her. I turned away as she quickly changed into them.

"C'mon," I said to her. We both walked outside to the rental car without a word. It literally broke my heart to see her like this. Someone as happy and beautiful as her should never have to feel the way she does now.

I opened the car door for her and she didn't look as me as she slid into the seat. I wiped my eyes after closing her door. As I circled around the back of the car to get to the driver's seat, I told myself to be strong. I couldn't let my guard down. She's the one that's supposed to be crying, not me. I shouldn't be allowed to cry. Besides, she needs someone strong right now and I intend on being that person for her.

After I got in the car, the engine came alive and I glanced over at her one last time. She was looking out the window and I could hear her small whimpers. She was holding everything back but I wanted her to know that she's allowed to let herself go in front of me. I'm not going to judge her--I'd never judge her. I wish she could see that.

I hesitantly reached my hand across the car and met her cheek. She squinted her eyes shut at my touch and when she did, more tears spilled out of her beautiful brown eyes. Each tear fell onto my thumb that was just below her eye. Her lip quivered as she tried to hold herself back and I knew she couldn't do it much longer.

"Al," I whispered and right when I did so, she broke into loud sobs. I immediately took action and dragged her into my arms, carrying her over the console so she was cradled in my lap. This time, I was thankful when she didn't push me away from her.

"I feel horrible for letting this happen to you." I honestly said. "I shouldn't have left you alone with him. I'm supposed to protect you."

"Why? It's not like you're my boyfriend." she snapped.

"What has gotten into you?" I questioned harshly.

"A stranger's dick has gotten into me, Niall!" she yelled.

"Aly, I'm so sorry. I really, truly am." I tried to make this as meaningful as possible.

"I never thought that'd ever happen to me." she cried. "I never thought he'd do that to me."

"I thought you said it wasn't your dad." I said.

"It wasn't." she answered. She then told me everything that happened. I couldn't believe that her dad sold drugs. And even worse, he couldn't get them shipped in fast enough for one of his clients so he sold his only daughter's virginity instead.

This whole situation is so f*cked up and all I'm focused on now is getting her through this. Whatever she needs, I'm there. No matter what, I'm going to be with her every step of the way. She needs all the help she can get and I intend on giving it to her. I'm going to tear anyone that was involved in this to pieces even though I'm about as intimidating as a baby penguin.

"Aly, I promise you," I paused. "I'm going to hunt him down and kill him."

"My dad or the guy?" she asked.

"Both of them."
