Breaking Boundaries [Niall Horan Punk AU] [ON HOLD]

Chapter 17

Niall's POV

I pace in my room, waiting for news from Audrey. She said she'd try calling Violet again, but that was a while ago. She said she'd call. My phone buzzes and I leap to it, answering.

"Well did you get through?!" I shout, immediately. I can hear her huff over the phone.

"She totally blew me off again! She answered, but she was ignoring my questions then hung up. She's alright though." She explains, a wave of relief washing through me.

"Well thanks, Audrey. See ya at school. Bye." I hang up, plopping on my bed. I stare at the ceiling, thinking about Violet. I really don't know what's going on. I'm used to hooking up with someone new every night. Why am I so persistent about dating? It doesn't make any sense! She's just so innocent! Her and her flower crowns and curls and smiles and adorable blushes. How did all of this even start? Wait...the chip bowl incident.

-Flashback-

Me and the other lads are in a serious video game match, eyes glued to the screen. Tyler calls out to Violet again, the little puppyish geek showing up almost right away. Wait wait wait. Hold up. She's not wearing her dorky glasses. Or that stupid huge jumper. Or those regular, ugly sweatpants. And her hair isn't pulled up. She's wearing a tight shirt, skinny jeans, a flower crown, and...SHE HAS CURLY HAIR? But...she has a cast on... Hmm. Whatever. She's a klutz.

She stands there, looking very scared. She always looks scared. Her uncasted arm is wrapped around her torso.

"Go refill the chip bowls, loser." Tyler spits out, Violet whimpering at the name. She grabs one bowl, starting to walk out.

"You've got two arms. Use them, dumbass." She freezes, looking to the ground. Normally Tyler's rudeness to her doesn't bother me, but today it kind of does.

"B-but...one's broken..." She looks even more scared, shaking slightly.

"Would you like it to be both?" Tyler thrashes, tears forming in her eyes. She gulps and grabs another bowl with her broken arm. It's obvious she can't hold both. She starts to walk out, but the bowl in the broken arm slips a and spills it's contents on the floor. She gasps, bending down to pick it up.

"Look what you've done now! Stop being so pathetic, bitch!" Tyler yanks her up by the broken arm, a scream of pain falling from her mouth. Her tears are very prominent on her rosy cheeks, wincing at the way Tyler's still pulling on her.

"I-I'm s-sorry." She whimpers, trying to pull her arm away.

"You are sorry. A sorry human being. You're a worthless, stupid, pathetic, loudmouth, whore!" He shouts, yanking her arm again, causing a broken sob to fall out.

Everyone's staring now. I want to say something, but I really don't give a crap about her. Well maybe just a little... She's shaking and sobbing, trying desperately to get away.

"Mate, get your arse over here and finish!" Liam shouts, Tyler throwing her arm down, making her wince. He walks back over as if he didn't just fucking hurt his little sister's broken arm and made her cry. But I don't care. Yes I do.

-End of Flashback-

I groan at the memory. I just want to punch him again for hurting her like that. She's so sweet. She didn't deserve that. But that will never happen again. He will never touch her again. He's sick and she's mine and I will do everything I can to keep her from that bastard. Wait mine? What's gotten into me? What's happening here? What's happening to me?

Violet's POV

After all the people cleared, Calum offered to ride with me back to my house. We ride our bikes down my neighborhood, stopping at my house.
