Right Now

Chapter 12

Niall's POV

The boys and I had just finished our meet and greet in the smallest town I had ever been in, besides Mullingar. Our tour bus driver at the time, Tad, said that he needed some gas, so we stopped at the nearest gas station. This was the perfect time to get some air.

I stepped out of the tour bus and just causually walked around. Suddenly, I heard a scream.

I turned around to find a pyscho kicking this innocent girl. I started yelling at him.

"Hey! HEY! What the hell are you doing to her?" I screamed at the dude.

"Mind your own business, man." he snarled back. "This bitch has to learn her lesson." I looked to the girl, who was slowly losing consciencness.

Louis obviously saw the situation, too, and we both ran straight over.

"Its my business when someone starts abusing an innocent woman." I snapped.

"THIS BITCH ISN'T INNOCENT OF ANYTHING." He bellowed, only kicking the girl harder.

I heard a scream from behind me. I whipped my head around to find one of the girls from the meet and greet. Julia, I think. That means the other girl was Belly.

Liam and the other two soon came over to find out who was screaming. Liam ran straight over to Julia to calm her down.

The rest of us lunged at the lunatic, making him run. Harry ran straight after him, chasing him down the block. He was followed by Zayn and Louis.

I ran straight over to Belly and scooped her up in my arms, bridal style. I checked her pulse to see that she was breathing, barely. I'm not a doctor but I could tell that 3 of her ribs were broken, along with her left arm.

"Liam," I started "Get Tad, Get Paul, GET SOMEONE." I screamed to him. He said something to Julia and ran over to the tour bus.

The four of us-Julia, Liam, a lifeless Belly, and I- all got into the tour bus and made our way to the hospital.

(Later)

I had been waiting outside of the hospital room for what seemed like 7000 years. I had to see her.

I don't even know what had come over me. I barely knew the girl, wrong I didn't even know the girl. But something about the situation felt: personal.

Julia was crying again along with Belly's mom.

"It will be fine. The last time the doctor came, he told us that all of her vitals were stable. That means she is alive, to say the least." I heard Liam say to Julia while comforting her. This only made Julia cry more.

About 15 minutes later, the doctor came out of Belly's room . We all huddled around to hear the latest news.

"Ms. Ramirez is ready for visitors." said the doctor as he left Belly's doorway. Her mom dashed into Belly's room along with Julia.

I was about to until Louis held me back. "Give her some space, man. The girl needs it."

I was so angry though. I wanted to see her- I needed to see her.

After about another 10 minutes I couldn't take it any longer and so I just went into the room along with Harry and Louis, closely followed by Liam and Zayn.

I could see Belly cup her hand over her mouth in shock.

"Hello, love." I say as gently as possible. Man, that lunatic beat her good. Really good. I was right about the ribs and the broken arm. Sh ealso had a few bruises along her forehead and a few on her neck. She also looked really pale, which is hard for a girl who has such a great tan.

She whimpered.

"You gave us quite a scare, you know, when you were lying lifeless on the ground. I had to carry you out by myself while the rest of the boys held off that pyscho." I explained.

She looked completely shocked and kinda.... happy. "Y-Y-ou saved me?" she stuttered.

I nodded at her smiling.

"Thank you." she sort of whispered.

"My pleasure." I said bowing like royalty, which made her laugh. She had a gorgeous laugh.

"Wait, w-w-here is that pyscho?" she asked nervously.

Harry came out from behind me, "He ran off. Trust me, I tried to chase him, I did. I mean how could he hit a babe like you? Like why would he?"

"Thats what I want to know." Louis and her mom said at the same time. Whoa creepy.

Belly sighed. "That lunatic? Yeah well he is my boyfriend." I could see that her mom looked surprised. Like she didn't know anything. Belly continued. "Yeah, Mom, I know I'm sorry I didn't tell you. When it happened, Mom, it happened all so fast. I mean he came up to me out of the blue and asked me to be his girlfriend, so I agreed. He was a really good one, you know, a boyfriend in the beggining. He was really romantic and cute. He brought me flowers and kissed my hand, like a real gentleman. But when I really got to know him, I saw his true side. His dark side. Whenever I did something wrong, he would start to smack me. At first, when he hit me, he would always apologize. Right away. I let it slide because I was obviously blinded by love." She was on the verge of tears. "But when he came up to me in the gas station. He was really drunk and hurt. It's all my fault that this got so out of hand. I'm sorry."

Her mom rubbed her back. "It's not your fault, ladybug. Its that, that, boys fault."

She was right. I couldn't take this any more. I had to find that crazy dude. He had to pay for hurting my Belly. I mean, Belly.

"Ok, that's it. We are looking for this "Chase" dude." My fists were clenched and I could already feel the theoredical steam coming out of my ears.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Nialler. Let's settle down." said Liam patting my back.

I was about to scream at him until Louis butted in. "No, I agree. Niall, I'm with you on this one." Thank God, someone had my back.

We both started out of the room. I could here people coming after us. Zayn was the first one to try and stop me. "Niall." he grabbed my shoulder. "Dude, just chill. Let's just call Tad and get back to the tour bus. People can take care of it from here."

I was pissed. "I want to help, Zayn-" He cut me off.

"Why do you care so much? She's just some random fan that we just met."

"Maybe I want to know her, Zayn. Maybe this "fan" has a problem that we might be able to help her with." I screamed.

"Yeah, Belly obviously needs help with this." I heard Louis say from behind me.

I had it. "FINE. I'll STAY. LIAM TAKE THE REST OF THEM BACK." I yelled.

Liam grabbed the rest of the boys and left. Louis tried to argue, but Liam just yanked him down the hall.

I sat a seat in front of her room and waited.

I really hope I captured all of their personalities closely.
