Diana (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter Six

Diana's POV

I continued to run, tugging all the suitcases behind me. I desperately searched for my six friends but they were nowhere to be seen. I must've been running for about twenty minutes when I heard a noise. "Psst..." The voice said. I looked around but saw no-one. "In the bush you dimwit." The same voice spoke. It was obviously Louis. I was pulled into a spiky bush. "Shit! Why do that to me you idiot!" I yelled at Louis before I ran and hugged Sarah tightly. "You're okay!" She exclaimed, hugging me with all her might. "I stabbed him." I chuckled, lying down on the soft, green grass. "He won't ever get his way again." I smiled, looking up at the sky. I threw my phone at Sarah, laughing uncontrollably in the process. "You should really watch the video. I have no fear of him anymore." I said.

Everything quietened and the only noise being made was coming from my phone as the video was watched. Memories flashed through my mind as I listened intently to every word my father said to me. You're worthless...You have nothing to achieve...You have nothing to lose...

I sat upright when the video had finished. "He can rot in hell." I scoffed. I stood up and collected my suitcases together. "Phone please." I said, holding my hand out towards Sarah. She handed my my phone and I stuffed in in my jacket pocket. With my suitcases in hand I turned to Sarah and hugged her tightly. When I pulled away, I turned in the opposite direction and began to walk away. "Where are you going?" Liam asked me. "I'm going to live my life independently. I don't need reliability anymore. I've got the escape I've been waiting ten years for. I'm going to do all the stuff I never did as a kid. I'm going to go to a school. Maybe move to London. Who knows." I beamed. "So that's it. You're just gonna go? Leave us all?" Zayn spoke up. I nodded sharply. "No." Sarah said. "Yes." I nodded. "No." She repeated. "Let me leave. Sarah I put your life in danger back there. I'm brave. I need to stand on my own two feet for once. You've protected me for so long but now you deserve a break. Go on holiday. Get a boyfriend. Become a school teacher. You can do it. I know you can. I have no reason to live in fear anymore. I'm free. I'm finally free. Thank you." I said. She shook her head while nodded. "You're not safe on your own. You think are but you're not!" She raised her voice. "You can't go Di." Niall spoke up. "Who are you to tell me? You don't know me at all! You think you do but you don't!" I shouted. "We can help you!" Louis yelled. "I'm not bloody mental! I'm not going to listen to any of you! I need to get away from here. It just brings back unwanted memories." I shrugged. Sarah walked forward and took my shoulders in her grasp. "Don't you dare think of leaving me Boo. We've been through too much shit together for you to go now. I will go on holiday and guess what? You're coming too! I know! I'm going to adopt you! Yeah! I'll do just that! The boys can come on our holiday too if they want!" She beamed. "You? Adopt? Me?" I asked. She nodded enthusiastically. "Who's up for a holiday in Miami?" She asked the boys. "I'm in!" The boys hollered. "What have I got myself into?" I asked myself quietly.

"Errm...Sarah, where are we going to stay? My dad's unconscious body is kinda on your floor." I said awkwardly as we walked back to her house. "Easy, we have the video as proof and you have all your bruises and cuts as evidence. We take his body to police and hand him over to him. He can go to his true home that way." She smiles. "No. No way in hell am I touching his filthy body. I will end up killing him." I shook my head. "Or we could go with your option." She suggested. "Kill him? Nah, just hand him in." I said.

When we entered Sarah's house I noticed the mess my father and I had made fighting. "What did you do?!" Harry asked in awe. "Well...he bust through the door, cornered me, tried to strangle me but I kicked him in his balls. Hard might I add. And then I grabbed a knife. He didn't think I'd do it but nothing held me back so I did. Basically everything you saw on the video." I shrugged, nonchalantly. "Go girl!" Louis fist pumped. "Just get that, away from me." I shuddered, pointing to my dad's body. "Wait!" I shouted, as Sarah took a step towards the body. "Get back." I ordered. "But-" "Just do it." I cut her off. I stepped towards the body. As I towered over his body his eyes shot open. "It's not nice to hurt people." He barely whispered. "No, it's not is it. Dad." I said through gritted teeth. Then I kicked him everywhere. I punched him repeatedly and screamed in the process. "How do you like it bastard?!" I screamed, kicking him some more. I ignored my friend's shouts and my dad's screams. "Oh shut up you wimp! You deserve to be killed! After all the things you did to me?! Yeah sucks to be you!" I screamed, jumping into the air and landing on his body. Both feet firmly stood on his stomach. "Diana!" Someone shouted. "Yes?" I asked harshly, turning to face my audience.
