Finally Unbroken (a 1D fanfic)

Chapter 6

*Niall's POV*

Something inside me snapped when I saw her come in to the club, laughing and talking to an attractive guy. I wanted to be the one to make her laugh. Not him.

There was something so different about her, so different to anyone else i'd ever met. It was so refreshing to meet someone who was the same age as i was and who didn't start screaming as soon as she realised who I was. It got lonely, because you could never tell who actually wanted to get to know the real you or who wanted the fame and the money. But with Jessie, it was different, there was something different. She didn't care who I was, she treated me as if I were anyone else. And I loved it. 

She'd only uttered a few sentances to me, but I was already mesmirised by her. I couldn't get her out of my head - the thought of her kept me awake at night. Her stupid smile, her stupid eyes, her stupid nervous eyes and her stupid beautiful face. I was transfixed by her, and even though she had rejected every of my attempts to take her out, I still wanted to see her. 

"Go and talk to her mate. You won't ever persuade her to give you a chance if you're sat over here moping while that other guy is making a move. She's been here for ages and you haven't stopped looking at her. Seriously, just go." Harry was right. Even though he was drunk and didn't really think straight when he drank, he gave suprisingly good advice - better advice then he gave when he was sober.

Zayn and I were the only ones in the group who didn't drink  - he didn't like the idea of girls being able to take advantage of him, and so spent his evenings sober. He'd drink if we were in private, he just hated doing it where there were people he didn't know around.

I mustered all my courage and walked up to her. She had her back to me and I couldn't think of the right way to get her attention, so I cleared my throat and spoke. 

"Jessie? Er, hi.."

She span around at the sound of my voice. Her face was unreadable. I couldn't tell if she was happy to see me, or if she was expecting someone else.

"Niaallll" She slurred. I hadn't expected her to be drunk, but I don't know what I had expected. 

"Nialll, let me introdude youuuu. This is my bestie-westie, Maxipooooooooo." She signalled towards the guys I had seen her come in with, and I immediately relaxed - they were nothing more than friends. She turned around and picked up 4 shots, and handed two to me. I refused them, so she downed all 4 of them in a matter of seconds.

"Niallly, i'm tired. Take meee to a chaiiiiir pleaaaaaase? These guys are being PARTY-POOOOPERS!!" I nervously laughed and signalled towards where the guys were in the VIP section of the club. She grabbed hold of my hand so that she didn't lose me in the crowd. There was something peaceful about holding her hand - amongst the choas of the club, I felt at peace. She sat down on one of the chairs and immediately fell asleep, so I sat next to her, not wanting to leave her alone.

She woke up about an hour later, and looked so confused, not knowing where she was.She was oblivious to the many guys who looked at her with lustful eyes, and I managed to put off a number of them by slinging my arm around her shoulder. 

"Maxipoo left me... Whhyy did he leave meeeeeee?" She whined, beforen snuggling into my arm and starting to cry.

"He promised me, he promised, he'd never leave me and what's he done?! He's left me all by myselfff.. How will i get to our homeeee?" The tears were starting to fall more frequently down her face. She pouted like a little girl who had just been told that Father Christmas wasn't real, and it was adorable. 

"Hey, shhhhh! It'll be okay. I'll take care of you. Don't worry. Come on, lets go. " I tried to calm her down, and she threw herself into my arms.

"You're the BEST Nially-wially. My mummy would be so proud of you.." She started to walk towards the exit of the club, but fell over, knocking into numerous drunk people dancing.

"Oopsies, oopsies, sorry, ssssooooooorrry." She tried to get to her feet, but her legs wouldn't hold her.

"Nially-wially. Carrrrrryyyyy meeeeeee pwease"

I bent down and picked her up in my arms, pushing my way through the crowds to the door.

"PEOOOW. Are you superman? Because I think you are SUUUPPPPPPPER!!" I couldn't help but chuckle at her remark, part of me wishing she really meant it. 

I had managed to successfully get her out of the Club and had called a taxi, when I felt my phone vibrate in my the pocket of my jeans. 

From: Zayn

Saw you taking that chick home with you, you really scored. She was hot. ;)

I felt my face heat up. I couldn't believe that Zayn had such a low opinion of me that he thought i'd take a drunk girl home and take advantage of her. It made me even angrier when I imagined some guy doing that to Jessie. I felt jealous that Zayn had called her hot. I wanted her to be mine, something that I didn't have to share with all the guys.

The taxi ride back to my apartment was entertainin - Jessie was talking jibberish for the first 10 minutes before she passed out with her head resting on my shoulder. We travelled the rest of the journey in silence, not wanting to wake her up. 

After giving the taxi driver an autograph and paying for the journey, I carried her bridal style into the house, accidentally hidding her head on the door-frame. She fitted perfectly in my arms, and she was as light as a feather. I carried her up the stairs with ease, before lying her down on my bed. 

I had managed to take her make-up off without waking her up, but I knew that she'd be uncomfortable with me changing her out of her dress because she barely knew me, but I took of her shoes. I tucked her up in my double bed, making sure she wouldn't overheat and left the room as quietly as I could so that I didn't wake her. I went down stairs and took off my shirt and jeans so that I was left in my boxers before settling down on the sofa with a blanket. For the first time in ages, I was able to dirft off to sleep straight away.
