Abusive Love // N.H.

Chapter 8

Niall's POV

I wake up and go check the guest room and flick on the light. Ambers not there. I look to see the the window open.

She escaped.

I speed down the wooden stairs and fly out the door. I get into the car and sit for a moment. Where would she run to? As my sweaty palms hold the steering wheel tightly a thought pops into my head.

I recall the night before our wedding Liam telling Amber he'd always be there for her. Therefore, she's at Liam's

flat.

I thrust my foot forcefully onto the gas pedal and drive to Liam's flat.

When I get there I see a light on through the big dining room window. I peek in to see Liam serving Amber a midnight snack of... chocolate soup?

(Chocolate soup is melted Hershey bars with unmelted Hershey kisses on top.)

I clench my right hand into a fist and my hand turns a light red. I pound on the door as hard as possible three times.

Liam's POV

Just as I sit down across from Amber I hear a sudden booming.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

I take a moment to think and realize I have as angry guest at the door. "Please excuse me. I think someone's at the door." I say to Amber.

"Kay, be quick." She mumbles, putting a spoon of chocolate soup in her mouth.

As I walk to the door the banging continues. It's starting to freak me out and I'm having second thoughts about answering it. I should just turn off all the lights, lock the doors and windows, shut the curtains , and call the police. But it could be someone I know, in great need of my help.

So of course my niceness takes over and decides to open the door. As it creeks open I see Niall. A Niall I've never seen before.

He was angry. Angry as fuck.

I try to slam the door but he pushes himself into the door and makes his way inside. I try to yell to Amber to run but Niall pins me against a wall. "A-AMBER! NI- ...RUN!" is all I could force out with Niall basically choking me.

I hear her feet quickly patter towards the room I'm in, again I try my best to shout "NO NOT TOWARDS -" but Niall cuts me off but putting legs on either side of me, punching my gut, putting all his weight on me, and covering my mouth with his left hand.

I start to feel my stomach give, acid makes it way up and I start to heave. I swallow hard, stopping myself from vomiting. Niall grabs my jaw with his left hand between his thumb and his fingers, making my jaw hurt and my lips pout slightly.

"Listen here, bitch, where is she fucking running?" Niall spits in my face.

I don't reply.

"Don't wanna talk, mate? Fine. I'll just have to beat two people tonight." He takes a moment in his mind to think of how to kill me.

Soon enough he throws me out off the wall and hits me off the couch. I spring back up and grab his small shoulders. I ran him to the wall and repeatedly punch his face.

Now his nose is gushing blood and his eye is a dark purple with a slight puffiness. He looks at me evilly as he exchanges the positions, putting me against the wall.

As he knees my stomach right where me kidney is I hear a sobbing. I fight the pains to look over. There stands Amber, eyeliner down her face. Her eyes are red and she looks as if begging for her own life. Niall notices it's her and charges, grabbing her wrist and pulling her to the kitchen.

I hear Amber scream through her tears from the kitchen "NO! NO! NIALL STOP! PLEASE! NIAALLL!"

I run as fast as I could to the kitchen to find her pinned to the floor with a knife on her throat.
