Philippa's P.O.V
Today is going to be a good day. Yeah that's not gonna happen. Waking up I was in pain, but waking up to Niall next to me is not what I was expecting. God I need to move now but I'm too comfy.
"Philippa what's wrong?" Niall asked stirring from his sleep.
"Just in pain, no offence or anything but why are you here?"
"You don't remember do you, you woke up last night when I brought you to bed."
"Oh right okay well I need a pee." With that Niall's grasp is removed but grabs my hands to help me up.
"Thanks."
Niall's P.O.V
Walking downstairs I hear movement in the living room. Walking in there is a woman stood looking around.
"Who are you? And how the hell did you get in here?"
"Oh sweetheart I'm Zoe and I have my ways now if you don't mind I've come for Philippa."
"Well she is going nowhere with you! So leave now!"
"Dear dear Niall I would be very careful what you do or say because I'm pretty sure the damage that I caused to her that can easily happen to you." She walked over towards me holding something. Oh shit she's got a gun.
"Hey Niall where is the coffee, w-what you doing here?" Philippa walked in and went white oh god.
"I've come to get my favourite step daughter back." Zoe started to walk to Philippa.
"Please don't hurt me." Philippa started to edge back and soon was against the wall.
"I won't hurt you if you come with me."
"N-no."
"What did you just say?" Zoe walked right up in front of Philippa.
Philippa's P.O.V
After going to the toilet I start to walk down the stairs.
"Hey Niall where is the coffee, w-what you doing here?" She was here she found me.
"I've come to get my favourite step daughter back." She started to walk towards me I can't run.
"Please don't hurt me." Edging away I hit the wall. Put on a brave face. Brave face Philippa don't let her see you weak.
"I won't hurt you if you come with me."
"N-no."
"What did you just say?" Zoe got right in front of me.
"I don't want to go with you, I'm happy here."
"Listen to me bitch! You are coming with me." Zoe grab my throat and I felt something cold pressed against my stomach.
"No!"
"What do you want from her. She can't give you anything she is hopeless. She is the biggest waste of space going. Throw her out before she ruins your life." Zoe turned and spoke to Niall I couldn't hold back the tears that were forming from the pain she was causing.
"Yeah your right I don't know what I saw in her." Zoe removed the object from my stomach and let go of me. Falling to the floor, everything starts to go fuzzy. No not again no.
Niall's P.O.V
Zoe let Philippa go and she fell to floor she looked so heart broken why did I just do that.
"I'll be watching you Horan." Zoe spoke pointing her gun at me, then hiding it round the back of her jeans before walking out the door.
Running over to Philippa she is unconscious on the floor.
"Philippa come on you can't do this again to me."
She started to stir, thank god.
"W-why you here thought you didn't care anymore."
"I'm so sorry I didn't know what to say. Please don't hate me."
I didn't get a reply all I got was tears. What have I done she hates me.
"Please say something."
Nothing. She just looked at me blank.
"Philippa you okay?" But still nothing.
"Philippa come on say something, anything please." I plead kneeling down next to her.
Nothing. I got nothing she just let the tears stream down her face. Carefully pulling her into my chest I let her cry everything out.
"I can't let you get hurt, I can't and I won't." She croaked looking at me.
"I don't care about me. I care about you Philippa and I will do all that I can to protect you."
"I'm not worth it Niall, you said that." She just looked so heart broken.
"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean any of it, I wasn't thinking and I thought it would protect you, I thought if I said that she would leave you. I am so so sorry, I never meant to hurt you Philippa." She just looked at me, thankfully the tears stopped.
"Come on lets get you on the sofa." I carefully get Philippa to her feet.
"I can't move, it hurts too much." She just broke down again. only one thing for it, picking her up bridal style as careful as possible I walk her up the stairs and into my room. My bed is much comfy and be better for her than the sofa.
"Thank you Niall, you at work today?"
"No thank god."
