Love Hate (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 6: Stranger

I glanced towards the voice the called my name. His name was Matt, we met in year 8. "Matt? What are you doing here? You found me," I said, scared. "You bet I did. Who's this clown?," he said, pointed to Liam. I scooched closer to Liam in the water, "He's Liam. My boyfriend." My heart was beating a mile a minute. I saw Matt's eyes inflame. I didn't like Matt anymore, I haven't liked him since...the incident.

*Liam's POV*

Some clown came over to Nikki on the beach today. I was really nervous, but for her of course. I knew that Harry, Louis, Zayn and Niall would all be there to protect her, but for some reason, Nikki was petrified of this guy. "Look, just go back home and we'll send you something in the mail," Harry said. "Another boyfriend?," he asked Nikki. She began to tear up. I hate when she cries. "No," Harry said clearly, "I think you should go." We all knew something was wrong with this guy, but we weren't exactly sure what that was.

*Niall's POV*

While the others were fighting off this Matt character, I took Nikki from Liam and we ran to the car without Matt noticing. I couldn't stand her being upset, especially after all she just went through.

"Okay, what's the story with that guy?," I asked as we started to drive back home. "I don't want to talk about it," she said nervously. I put my hand on her shoulder, but she jumped. "What's wrong, Nikki? You never jump when I do that," I said, concerned. She started to talk, but it was like someone was stopping her from saying anything. I didn't say anything after that.

*Nikki's POV*

Alright, I wanted to tell Niall about Matt. I wanted to tell all of the guys about Matt, but I couldn't. They wouldn't ever think of me the same way. When we got home, I sat on the couch and asked Niall to cuddle. I needed comfort. Sure enough, he sat right next to me, pulling me close to his chest. I shivered.

"Nikki, do you want to talk about it?," his Irish accent sounded ultra thick. I nodded my head, sitting up. "Niall, you can't tell anyone. Especially Liam," I said clearly. He nodded. "I used to date Matt," I said. "You ain't kidding," he said sarcastically. I pushed him playfully, but quickly went back to being serious. "Matt and I weren't the closest couple. He used to sleep with other girls and he used to cheat on me all the time, but I didn't really care because I felt cool when I was with him," I said. He nodded to show me that he was still listening.

"One day, Matt wanted to take the next step, but I refused. So..." I stopped.

"So what," he pulled me close.

"He hit me. He kept hitting me. Until I knocked him out with a frying pan. I had just enough time to flee to Jenny's house before he got back up," I said, "We were at his house, so he went to my house to check if I was there, but I wasn't. I never saw him again... Until today."

He didn't say anything, he just kept holding me for what seemed like forever. I didn't want to see Matt ever again. "Just please don't tell anyone, I'll tell them when I'm ready," I said. He nodded assuringly and we stayed on the couch until the others came back home.

"Liam! What happened to you!?," I screamed, looking at Liam walk through the door. "Harry! What the hell dude!?," Niall screamed afterwards. Liam and Harry both had bruises all over and black eyes. I couldn't help but think that Matt was the one who did this.

"We did it. We got rid of him," Liam said, looking at Harry and smirking. "What?!? Matt??? How!?," I asked. "He pushed us, so we fought him. 2 on 1. It wasn't exactly fair, but we won. The cops said he wasn't getting out until he was 40," Liam said, pulling me close. I couldn't help but smile. Liam and Harry had just fought for me. Knowing Matt, he could have drowned them and I would have lost my boyfriend and my best friend.

"Sweetie, you didn't have to do that," I said. Just then, I got a tweet.

@MattHolmes: Watch your back.

I shivered. "Guys look at this," I said, showing them my phone. I knew what he was capable of. I didn't want to get hurt, and I sure as hell didn't want anyone getting hurt in spite of me.

**LATER**

"Liam? I need to tell you something," I said, sitting up on the bed. "What's going on?," he asked curiously. I told him all about Matt and what he did to me. "Well, I'm glad we beat the daylight out of him today. That jerk deserves whats coming to him," he said. I shivered. "Liam, protect me please," I said, laying back down into his arms. "Forever and always," he said, kissing the back of my head, "I love you."
