Niall's POV

As I sit there in the dark closet, tears streaming down my face. I can hear the violence happening down stairs.

"Please stop" I hear mum cry. More tears are coming down my face like sprinkles of rain turning into a fast storm of rain drops.

I hear his footsteps coming up the stairs and coming to my room and stopping at the door. Three loud bangs. "Open this goddamn door" he yells, making me sob loudly. My door just falls freely as if the even the door was afraid of dad but it only fell down due to being broken down too many times.

I counted his slow footsteps I knew exactly how many it would take.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7.

The closet doors opened "you hide here every time faggot" he said then pulled me by the hair and tossed me on the floor. He started kicking me, getting all his drunken anger out on me.

He used to only beat mom when he was drunk but since the night I stood up for her he beats her than me.

I saw his fist coming straight for my face. I turned my head but it still hit my ear making it ring and blur my vision.

I saw mom at the door. Two of her actually. Bloody face with tear freely falling as she watched her husband beat her son. She staggered away from my door.

I must have past out because the next moment I opened my eyes in in the sun lit room instantly getting a headache. I pushed myself off the floor and on to my bed. I covered myself and let my tears fall. I look towards my door and felt my heart hurt for something better. At least someone to help me through these horrible times.

Authors note:

I'm sorry if this is triggering. I had this idea for awhile and decided to give it shot.

If you got questions just ask.

Tell me how this is?

I'm hoping this can be a good one. A love Ziall love story.
