chapter 26
*Nicole's P.O.V.*
I felt my body starting to awaken from the slumber I was in. I could hear faint voices, before my eyes opened. I could hear an Irish accent, and I immediately identified it as Niall. I was able to hear what he was saying.
"Maybe she is going insane, it's possible. She seems to get like this a lot whenever something bad happens. It will haunt her mind, and it might be making her go crazy," Niall said quietly.
Wait, Niall actually thinks I'm going insane? Why would he say something like that? I thought that he actually cared to know that I was suffering! He only came to the conclusion that I'm crazy!
I started to move around, waking myself up. My eyes fluttered open, and I noticed that I was in Niall's arms. I quickly pulled myself up, so I was sitting. I stretched out my arms, then let them fall back to my sides. I looked at Niall with a mixture of shock and anger, "Y-You think I'm insane, Niall?"
Niall's eyes widened, "U-Um, I didn't say that," he quickly lied. I jumped up to my feet, so I was taller than Niall, "How could you say that about me? I'm not going insane! I-I just have been having nightmares lately, that's it! You go and make the conclusion that I'm mental!"
"Nicole, I didn't mean it!" Niall apologized, pulling himself up to his feet, so he was standing. He took a step closer to me and I moved back another step. I felt tears of anger welling up in my eyes, "I wouldn't call you crazy if you were suffering, Niall!" I cried, "You don't even know how bad it was for me at all!"
"Then, why don't you tell me, because you never tell me anything anymore!" Niall yelled. Louis decided to intervene, "Guys, let's not fight, it's the twins birthday right now, this shouldn't be going on."
"I felt so horrible every day!" I yelled at Niall, completely ignoring Louis, "I would think about every day how horrible of a wife I am! Ashton made out with me every day, and it felt like he almost had some sort of power over me! He would get whatever he wanted with my body, and I was so scared, a-and I felt like I was going against our marriage!"
Suddenly, Niall pushed me against the wall, his eyes staring into mine. His eyes were unreadable. So many mixed emotions in them. I could feel his hot breath against my face, "It doesn't mean anything if you hated it. I hated myself every day that I wasn't with you. But, I'm here now and I will protect you every second. I won't let him hurt you ever again."
Then, Niall crashed his lips against mine, his hands on either side of the wall. His lips fiercely kissing mine with a fiery passion that was indescribable. My arms slid around his neck, while we kissed.
Louis cleared his throat, "Yeah, sorry to interrupt but we're in the middle of a birthday, so if everything is cleared up, why don't we go downstairs?"
We all agreed to do that and went back downstairs to continue the birthday part.

"You're mine," he growled, as his towering figure stood above me. I was sitting on top of my bed, all alone, with my knees up to my chest. I couldn't move back any farther, because of the bed frame behind me. He smirked and crawled up onto the bed. This time there was no knife in Ashton's body, he looked normal. His shirt was torn off, and he was only wearing a pair of boxers. I looked down to see that I was wearing barely any clothes, too.
No, this can't be happening, I can't be put in this situation. I have to get away from here. I tried to move, but it felt like my body was stuck to the duvet. I couldn't move, and I was growing desperate, as I wriggled on top of the mattress.
"Niall!" I yelled, desperation in my voice. I could see Ashton getting closer to my body, "Niall, please help me!" I cried, with tears rushing down my face, "Niall!" I screamed his name, echoing off the walls. Suddenly, the I heard Niall's voice, "Nicole, Nicole, wake up!"
