Everything about you - One Direction Fanfic

Nibbler...

A/N – Yup i’m updating twice. :] I’m such a good girl. MIKAYLA’S P.O.V

The bright sun is shining down on me and I smile. The wind feels nice in my hair. I can feel my brothers strong arms pushing the swing behind me and once again I sail up into the air, before rushing back down again. My brother is only ten at the moment but he is really big and strong and he always protects me. I love him.

My eight year old body swings higher and higher but suddenly when I come swinging back ready to be pushed, no strong arms push me back up into the air. I try to turn around but the buckles on the swing’s belt are confusing so I just wait until the swing has stopped before I try and figure it out.

I try to fiddle with the belt buckle, my brow knitted in concentration as my tiny fingers press and poke. Suddenly my brother is back. I start to clap, I can have more swing time now. My small face glows as I grin up at my big brother.

“Nibbles push me!” I giggle and cheer but my brother just frowns.

“Sorry bud but mum just texted me and said we need to come back RIGHT NOW.” He gazes at me anxiously and his blue eyes shimmer softly.

“I don’t want to go home Nibbles.” I whisper. I have never really known my brother’s name. My mother always told me it was Joshua or something like that but my brother said that dad called him something else and that I could call him Nibbles if I wanted. The name stuck.

“Neither do I, but we have to.” He replied quietly before hoisting me up onto his back. All of my troubles were forgotten as I giggled and played with his dirty blonde hair.

“JOSHUA! WHERE WERE YOU?” My mother screamed, almost falling over by how drunk she was.

“Right here mum.” Nibbles sighed.

“WHERES YOUR BRAT OF A SISTER!” She shouted and I flinched away.

“I’m here mommy...” I murmured and immediately her bloodshot eyes rested upon me.

They narrowed and she stormed closer to me, her hand raised.

“NO MUM!” Nibbles shouted but my mommy just pushed him aside.

Suddenly a sharp pain erupted on my face, followed by another on my stomach. I collapse to the ground as she beats me.

I could just hear Nibbles screaming over the top of my wails and my mum’s heated grunts as she tries to let all her anger out on me. Just when I feel myself slipping into unconsciousness, it all stops. My mother gets up and silently walks off, grinning.

Suddenly, two strong arms are around me.

“Oh Micky, you’re going to have bruises again!” My brother blubbers over me.

“Don’t worry about me...” I mutter.

“No, I need to worry. Things like that should not be happening to someone your age.”

“Maybe one day we’ll be rescued.” I whisper.

“Yeah, maybe one day daddy will come back and rescue us.” He mutters.

“Or maybe some unicorns will come!” I exclaim and Nibbles chuckles.

We both laugh even though my whole body aches. I snuggle into my brother and enjoy the warmth he brings.

***********

My eyes gently fluttered open to be greeted by pristine white walls and a low but continuous beeping sound. Am I in a hospital? The bed around me is tucked tightly and for some reason I feel oddly weak. I attempt to push the sheets off to be greeted by a sharp pain in my hand.
