Saving You.//n.h

15.

Clayton on the side.

-Heather's P.O.V

'I finally found you.'

He stared at me, with that stupid smirk on his face. I wanted to scream, cry, run something to get myself away from him.

"Heather, would you please give Clayton a tour of the school?" Principle Taylor asked, my leg started to bounce extremely fast catching Harry and Liam's attention. I swallowed hard, picking at my nails under the table.

"I uh um sure." I whispered, feeling my body tremble in fear. I stood up slowly, my chair screeching across the floor, all eyes on me now. I shoved my hands into the pockets of my shorts, making my way into the front of the room where Clayton stood.

"Thank you Heather." I nodded at the principle giving him a small smile, before Clayton and I walked out of the classroom. The air seemed tense and warm making droplets of sweat appear on the back of my neck, Clayton chuckled darkly next to me.

"You thought you got away from me, didn't you?" He asked, giving me a devilous smirk. I kept my mouth shut, remembering all the awful memories that floated into my mind. I was roughly shoved against the wall, making my eyes widened.

"Huh? Did you think you could? You're a stupid little girl, you know that Heather? I was so good to you.." He trailed off, running his fingers down my arm.

"No, you were awful to me." I whispered, his eyes became a dark shade of brown and I knew what was coming. A sharp pain shot through my stomach making me grunt in pain as I clutched my stomach. He had punched me.

"I am so glad that Macy had called me, oh! Did I tell you I'm going to be here for the rest of the school year with my brother? I think you know him." He pretended to think hard as he watched me lay on the floor in pain, chuckling to himself.

"He's told me a lot about you, Max Ewell. Does that name ring a bell?" What? that's impossible, Max couldn't be his brother..

"I'll see you around, beautiful." He winked before walked down the hallway as if nothing happened, I just wanted this to be a nightmare.

"Class dismissed." I grabbed my bag, rushing out of the classroom before anyone else, ignoring the pain in my stomach. My eyes scanned the halls for the bright mop of pink hair, hoping to find her somewheres.

"Lola!" I yelled, when I noticed her come into my sight. She turned around, waving for me to come over to her. I felt the feeling as if someone was staring at me, my head frantically looked back and forth but, no one was staring at me.

"You okay?" Lola asked, shooken up. I nodded, seeing her face pale slightly.

"You saw him didn't you." She whispered as we walked towards the exit of the school, my silence answered her question.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you yesterday when Dylan and I came over, we didn't want you to worry." Wait, what? I thought that was part of the dream.. damnit.

"It's fine," I lied. It wasn't okay, because I was terrified and something bad was going to happen. I had a bad feeling. We walked out of the school doors, the sun blinding me slightly.

"Hey, can you give me a ride? I rode with Niall this morning." I asked, noticing him leaning against his car with his buddies, a cigarette resting between his pink lips.

"Yeah, of course." She said, digging through her bag to find her keys. I heard someone shout my name, and I knew exactly who it was. I was actually mad at Niall, he told Dylan to not talk to me. Who does that?

"Heather, whats wrong?" He asked, grabbing my upper arm turning me around.

"Don't play stupid Niall, you know exactly what you did." I hissed, aware of his friends and Lola watching us. "You made Dylan not talk to me." A smirk plastered onto his face before he pulled me against his chest, chuckling.

"Don't be mad baby, I told you I didn't want you talking to any other man." His breath hitting my face, I gave him a hard stare, his smirk widened.

"Just because you made him mad at me doesn't mean I won't talk to other guys." I snapped, his smirk disappeared as one plastered onto my face.

"Oh honey, you say that now but wait until the get together tonight. Every man will know you're mine." He growled, I placed my hands onto his chest shoving him away from me before I stormed towards Lola's car.

"See you later, baby! I'll pick you up at seven!" I looked up at Lola while she was unlocking the car, laughing quietly. I got inside the jeep, slamming the door behind me.

"What's so funny?" I asked as she put the keys in the ignition, irritation laced in my voice.

"You and Niall, you guys fight like a married couple. It's actually cute." She smiled, pulling out of the parking lot, I scoffed.

"Yeah right, real cute when I can't even talk to my guy friends. He doesn't see me going up to all the girls telling them to back off from my man." I snapped, Lola's mouth was slightly open with a smile on her face.

"Oh my, you are in love with the schools bad boy." I looked at her, my eyes wide as my mouth hung open. Nothing came out, I shut my mouth staring out the window.

Not matter what Niall did to make me mad, I still found myself madly in love with him.

"Wear something cute, it's a get together." Lola told me as she sat on my bed, she was going to the get together as well with Liam. I'm guessing they've got a thing for each other. I grabbed the Vans jumper that was dark blue with stars on it, with writing on it. I grabbed the black colored shorts tossing them onto the bed, before I grabbed my white All-Star Converse.

I pulled off my school outfit, not caring that Lola was in the same room as me. We don't really care, we've been friends long enough to see each other half naked.

"Holy shit, your stomach!" She rolled onto her belly staring at my stomach, I looked down and sure enough there was nice blue and red bruise covering the center of my stomach.

"Um uh I fell." I laughed nervously, pulling the shorts up my legs. Lola sat up crossing her arms, giving me a hard stare. I sighed, pulling the jumper over my head.

"Look, just Clayton was giving me a hard time and he punched me okay?" I snapped, I didn't mean to be harsh but it's stressfull. I sat at the end of the bed, grabbing my Converse sliding them onto my feet, tying the laces.

"I knew it. I'm going to kill him." She whispered, I turned around shaking my head at her.

"Don't worry about it, Lola. Just forget about it." I stood up grabbing the brush off my dresser, running it through my hair that was recently straightened for the second time today. There was a loud honk from in front of the house meaning Niall was here. I grabbed my phone sliding it into the back pocket of my shorts as Lola and I walked down the stairs in silence.

"Bye mom, bye Maddie." I placed a kiss onto both of there cheeks, rushing out the door before my mom would ask a thousand questions. A large black Cadillac Escalade was parked outside of the house, making my jaw drop. How do they offord this? Liam jumped out of the car, opening the door for us. Harry was driving, Zach was in the passenger seat, and I believe his name was Louis sat in the back with Liam and Lola. And I, sat with Niall. Shocker. He wrapped his around my waist, tugging on my shorts.

"Why are these so short?" He whispered, harshly in my ear earning him a eye roll. He slapped my thigh lightly, placing his hand on it after.

"Oi, we've got an extra person in the back. He's pretty cool." Niall told me, I nodded slowly. He nodded his head back, informing me to greet him. I turned around looking in the way back of the truck, my blood running cold.

"Oh, you must be the famous Heather. I've heard so much about you, I'm Clayton."
