 Sleepovers, Chats & Intruders-Part Two

~NELLY'S POV~He's here. But he can't be.Uncle Joe. He's the fucking ass-whipe who stole my parents things while I was in the shower!"what are you doing here?" I ask trying to keep as calm as I can."Aww, come on Nelly. That's no way to say hello to your uncle Joe now is it?" He says grinning and taken a step towards me.I take a step back keeping a distance between us. I cant bare to be near him. Just his presence alone is enough to have me gagging in the gutters."Well, considering the fact that you stole my dead parents valuables; I think its a more than appropriate." I retort folding my arms over my chest.He snickers to himself then suddenly I feel a stinging sensation on my cheek. He hit me. My uncle hit me. What the fuck?!I stumble backwards holding my face as my eyes teared up; but not so much out of pain but the fact that its someone who is family that caused it."oh don't even start crying." He said rolling his eyes.He pulled out his phone and texted someone.A few seconds later Harry shouted me and said its urgent. I looked to my uncle and excused my self from my room. I was about to turn the handle on the door when my hair was yanked and I was thrown towards the wall. Why is he be so fucking violent?! No member of my family had ever laid a hand on me. If we ever misbehaved, we'd be grounded or something, but NEVER hit.Joe locked my bedroom door and stood in front of me grinning maliciously, while i was sat leaning against my bedroom wall on thee floor crying from the impact of my head hitting the wall. What is he gonna do next?He kneeled down so he was eye level and grinned. I am literally shitting myself right now. Why he being like this? Uncle Joe is never like this. What the fuck is going on?!I cowered away from him, afraid of what he was going to do next. My head is killing, my face is stinging and im locked in a room with my psychopath of an uncle with no source of defense while Harry is probably downstairs having a cup of tea or something. Great!"Well Nelly. You know i stole your parents jewelry, which is meant to be secret. I need to make sure i can trust you with that secret." He said reaching into his pocket to pull some thing out. Holy fuck.He pulled out a fucking knife! I gasped and started to stand up ."Please dont hurt me. I promise i wont tell anyone. I swear!" I said and put my arms infront of me in a defensive manner.Joe just laughed and started to walk towards me with the knife infront of him. By then i was crying like a baby again."I know you wont." He said and went to slash my face.But, my bedroom door was broken down to show a curly haired boy coming towards me and my psycho uncle.Harrys eyes widened when he saw the crazy situation.~HARRY'S POV~My eyes went like saucers at what i saw when i broke Nellys door down.She was sat in the corner of her room on the cold floor. Her knees pulled tightly to her chest with her hands guarding her face in a defensive manner and she had tears streaming down her cheeks. I know I've not known her long, but if seen her cry and let me tell you; if never seen her like this. You could see the sheer terror in her eyes and she was shaking like a leaf in the wind.In front of her is a stocky man aged about 43 or so. He had blue eyes a dark brown hair with random grays dotted round and wrinkles on his forehead and slight bags under his eyes. He had a crazy look in his eyes too. He looked like your stereotypical psychopath!He-you know what I'm gonna name him Jim. Jim was crouched in front of a terrified Nelly with... a knife?! Way am I still standing here? I need to save my best friend/sister!"Who the fuck are you?" I spit at Jim snarling.He smirked menacingly and stood up."Nice to meet you Harry. I'm this bitches uncle!" He said gesturing towards Nelly with a pissed off expression."How the fuck do you know my name?!" I demanded.He started walking around Nelly's bedroom and as soon as he turned his back on me and Nelly, I punched him in the head and he dropped to the floor. I looked back at Nelly and kneeled down to her."You alright? Did he hurt you?" I asked Nelly concerned.I swear if that crazy bastard touched Nelly, i will carve his vocal chords out with a spoon and make him eat them.I know it seems a bit extreme but Nelly is mine and the boys sister and best friend and i promised to protect her like family.She moved her arm that was resting against her left cheek to reveal a gash that was bleeding and a bruise on her forehead.~NELLY'S POV~"Did your psycho uncle do this Nelly?" Harry asked pulling me into a hug."Yeah. Shit excuse for family, right?" I said attempting to lighten the mood. Harry's jaw clenched.He stood up and walked over to where Joe was lying on the floor and crouched down by him. Harry grabbed my uncle by the neck and pulled him to his feet, his eyes were dark."Is this what you do to your own family? Cut them and hit them?!" He yelled at Joe who is still a little dazed by Harry's blow to his head.Harry then threw my uncle to the floor. He started to get himself up again."She is nothing to me! She's not a real Carter!" He yelled pointing at me.What does he mean? What did I do? Fucking nutter."Nelly is your niece you crazy bastard! She is also a girl and you laid a hand on her and hurt her! What real man hurts a woman?" Harry snarled at him with a disgusted expression and punched him in the face.I know what you might be thinking; Harry hurt a girl, he's no better! But Harry had his reasons, he regrets it, I could see it in his eyes when he saw my bruises. He is nothing like my prick for an uncle.My unc-Joe fell to the floor and didn't get back up. Harry came to me and helped me up and sat me on my bed."Where else are you hurt?" He asked me.I showed him my wrists and pulled my hair from my face."And my head but I can really show you that cos my hair is in the way." I said breathing shakily."I'm sorry I didn't get to you sooner. I was meant to protect you like a brother; shit job so far, right" harry said sighing."Harry, its not your fault. Neither of us knew Joe was going to break into my house;let alone my bedroom, and go all Freddy mother-fucking Krueger on me did we? If anything, you've done an amazing job a it by saving me. You busted the door down before he did anything else. So thank you................brother" I said smiling and hugged him.We sat on my bed for a few minutes. This reminds me of Wesley. Yeah he was younger than me, but only by two years. If a girl hurt him; broke his heart and such. That bitch would seriously pay. Same goes both ways for me too. Wesley was mature for his age and looked older than what he was, when he was 13 he looked about 15 its funny really and his voice was deep too. I miss him so much.A random tear slipped down my cheek. I'm guessing Harry saw it too."Whats wrong? Stupid question..." he said thinking i was upset by my uncle; which i am, but more sad by my brother not being here. He then stood up."Nothing. You just remind me of my actual brother." I smiled and stood up too.I got my bag and went to my door; well, whats left of it since Harry kicked it through..."I didn't know you have a brother. Why doesn't he live with you?" Harry asked."He died in a car crash about a year and a half ago." I sighed. Harry frowned not expecting...that."I'm so sorry Nelly. I thought he just moved out or something." He said and rubbed my back."It's okay. You remind me of him in a good way; we always looked out for each other like best friends, and you looked out for me." I smiled again and we went downstairs."Oh shit. What are we going to do about my uncle?!" I panicked. Omfg!"Oh yeah... i don't know. We could put him in the trunk and take him back to our house, well Nialls, until he wakes up and find out why he went all 'Freddy mother-fucking Krueger' on you? If we leave him here he might steal more of your parents things." Harry suggested quoting what i said earlier."I like the way you think! But what about when he wakes up? What if he hurts you or one of the boys? Hes a fucking psycho Haz." I reasoned."Theres 5 of us who are young and can fight well, and 1 crazy bastard. Come on Nelly, do the math; we will be fine!" He said and went upstairs to retrieve Joe.He came down with my uncle slung over his right shoulder, carrying him with barely an effort. He walked to me and asked me to get the door for him without actually saying anything, if you know what i mean, like with his eyes.... uh forget it, and I did. I went to the trunk of Harrys car and opened it so he could flop my uncle in there. I seriously hope he bangs his head on a spanner or something back there, and that's being nice.*****SKIPPING CAR RIDE*****We got out of the car and popped the trunk. Joe was still unconscious, thank God! Harry grabbed his arms behind him and I grabbed his legs and we walked to the door. Harry unlocked it and went in and I followed behind."We're back." Harry called out and we 'oh so casually' walked into the living room carrying an unconscious person by their limbs; you know, the usual.~NIALL'S POV~Nelly walked in behind Harry. Who is this man they're carrying? They flopped him on the couch and Nelly sat in the kitchen on the stools by the island. She seamed like she wanted to be as far from this man as she could get."Harry? Who the hell is this?!" I demanded gesturing to whoever that person is.He looked to Nelly for some form of confirmation. She nodded."This asshole is Nelly's uncle, Joe. Hes gonna be here until Nelly, and us all be some answers out of him." He said in a pissed off tone."Why do you need answers? What is going on?" I asked confused. I swear, if he has brought trouble to my house, I'm gonna roundhouse his ass.Harry looked at Nelly for confirmation again but this time, she was hesitant. Harry went to her and asked me to wait a sec. What's going on?! What's so bad that she can't tell me/ us.Harry came back with an anxious looking Nelly. She couldn't take her eyes off her uncle. Did he do something?"He attacked her." Harry said. Nelly was looking at her feet and Harry was burning holes into the wall. I was shocked."What?! What did he do?! I fucking swear to God!" I said."Niall, calm down. Its not as bad as you think." Nelly said and grabbed my fore arm and I relaxed at her touch.She ran a hand through her hair which revealed a gash on her cheek and a bruise on her head."Its not as bad as I think? Nelly, you've got a gash on your cheek which is bleeding." I said and pulled her into the kitchen and told her to sit at one of the stools.I reached into the top cupboard and got the first aid box. I took out an antiseptic wipe."Right, this might hurt a little bit, but it wont be for long." I told her and she nodded.I held Nelly's face gently with one hand and pressed the cold wipe to her cheek with the other and she hissed in pain. She grabbed my wrist and squeezed her eyes shut."I'm sorry, it wont last long, it'll stop in a sec" I reassured her. She nodded and let out a deep breath.Just then, Harry burst through the kitchen doorway with something that made me want to punch my own teeth out."Joes waking up!"Nelly's eyes widened and she started biting her lip. Oh my shit. She looks so hot when she does tha-Not now!!I got some clean kitchen paper and folded it and handed it to Nelly so she can hold to her cheek to stop the bleeding. She muttered a thanks and applied pressure to her wound."Im not going in there." She stated."He wont do anything Nelly, me and the boys will be there." I reassured her.She sighed and stood up and walked to the door. I followed her and she muttered something that sounded like,"Your right cos I'm not the one whos gonna walk out with no teeth left." There's the Nelly I know!
