I Wanna Save You Tonight (I'll Save You) - Niall Horan

Chapter 17

*6 weeks later*

I was lounging around the house watching T.V. Niall was coming round in about 10 minutes to keep me company because Aiden had gone to stay with Emily for the night. I heard the postbox open and shut. Surely not again? I got up off the comfy leather sofa and walked to the door. There was a black envelope on the floor. It had the words ‘Sophie’ on it, all the letters from different newspaper and magazine cuttings. I picked it up, confused and opened the letter. It was in the same style. All the letters from different newspapers. It simply read ‘WATCH OUT’. I dropped the letter and sat on the stairs, suddenly feeling unsafe. I sat there staring at the letter for ages until there was a knock at the door. I ducked down and didn’t answer.

“Sophie? Are you in there? It’s Niall.” I heard from outside.

I got up off the floor and opened the door and flung my arms around Niall.

“Hey hey hey babe. What’s happened?” he whispered in my ear as I started to cry.

I pulled away from him and pointed to the anonymous letter on the floor. He bent down and picked it up and looked at it.

“Who-who’s this from?” he asked

“I don’t know. It just came.” I said, shaking.

“It’ll be okay. I’m not going to leave you all day, and I’m going to call Aiden.”

“No. Please. You’ll worry him. He’s spending time with Emily.”

“I know babe. But he needs to know. You’re his little sister and I’m sure he won’t mind.” He said whilst cupping my face in his hands.

“Okay.”

“Now, go and sit down and we’ll put a film on and take you’re mind off things.” Niall said as he went in the kitchen to call Aiden.

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I opened up the message, from an anonymous number.

“I see you got my letter. Watch out.” It said. I started at the message until Niall walked in,

“Aiden is on his way back with Emily. He is worried.” Niall said “Did you forget to choose a film babe?”

I passed him the phone as he read the message his face filled with horror.

“Right. We’re calling the police.” Niall said firmly.

“No, you’re not. They could be watching us Niall.”

“I don’t care. This ends now.”

“Leave it. What are they going to do? Now sit down and lets relax.”

I switched on the TV, it automatically turning on BBC News at One.

“This is an important announcement. If you have seen this man- Jake Johnson, ring the police immediately. This morning, Jake Johnson escaped from prison with the help of two masked supposedly friends. He seems very dangerous and is believed to be after someone.” The TV read.

My stomach felt like it was going to drop out of me. I had a sick feeling and my head was pounding. I got up and started to breathe in and out heavily. My head started to pound harder and harder. It all became too much, it all went black.
