Now and Forever (Completed)

Chapter 6

~earlier that day~

Ciara's POV

"Ciara... Ciara... Get up." Joseph said from behind me. I looked at the clock that read 12:30.

I sat up and yawned while stretching. I went to the restroom upstairs with my clothes and brushed my teeth and hair before changing. I put my hair into a bun then jogged downstairs.

"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked Joseph.

"Pancakes, eggs, bacon and a milkshake." He said. I nodded and went to the kitchen.

"Scrambled or sunny side up?" I asked.

"Scrambled." He responded.

"Okay." I said.

I pulled out the eggs, milk, bacon, strawberries, blueberries and whip cream from the fridge. I made the instant pancake mix and made three pancakes. I then cooked the eggs and bacon while making the milkshake. I placed the pancakes, eggs and bacon on a plate then grabbed the milkshake filled cup. I walked over to the living room and handed the plate and cup to him. I opened the whipped cream and put some on his pancake.

"Thank you." He said. I sat at the little island for a good two hours just watching cartoons. I decided to eat so I made myself an oat meal with strawberries, grabbed a yogurt with strawberries and a banana milkshake.

"What are you fucking doing?" Joseph asked, coming into the kitchen before I could eat my food.

"Eating." I said.

"I told you yesterday that you aren't eating for the rest of this week and next week." He snapped.

"But you letting me eat will change you. This is what will help you change like you want to." I said. He walked over and slapped me before grabbing my bowl and throwing it on the ground, smashing into pieces and sending oat meal everywhere.

"No! Stop!" I screamed.

"I told you you wouldn't eat." He said. He grabbed my yogurt and slammed it onto the ground, it exploding everywhere as well. He then grabbed my cup and threw it on the ground.

"Stop!" I said, crying my heart out.

"Now clean that shit up and shut your mouth." He said. He grabbed me by the neck and pushed me onto the floor.

"Okay!" I cried out. I picked up the glass and made it into a little pile. It took me three hours to finish cleaning and making food for Joseph.

"Get your ass over here now Ciara!" Joseph screamed. I ran to the room and locked the door. I grabbed my phone from under the bed and ran to the restroom, jamming the door. I looked at the window and it was glued shut. I called Niall and he answered.

"Niall! Please help me!" I screamed.

"What happened?!" Zayn asked.

"I tried helping Joseph be a better person like he told me but he became a psychopath."

"What is going on right now?" Liam asked.

"I locked myself in a bathroom that is in one of the rooms and he is pounding on the room door." I said, a door breaking at the front of the room.

"Oh my God. He's coming!" I practically screamed.

"Open this fucking door Ciara!" Joseph screamed.

"Go away Joseph!" I screamed at him.

"We need to go save her." Niall said.

"Lets go. We'll pack for a week then leave. I'll book the flight and the rest of you can pack." Louis said.

"Ciara. Calm down love. Just calm down." Liam said.

"I'm sorry Joseph. I didn't mean it. I just wanna go home." I cried out. The kicking and screaming from Joseph stopped.

"Imma be at the club." He said.

"What happened?" Zayn asked.

"I wanted to eat but yesterday he said I wasn't going to eat for the rest of this week and next week. Then he threw my food and drink onto the ground and made me pick it up. When I finished he called me over and I new he was gonna hurt me so I ran to the room and locked myself in the bathroom." I said, my crying louder and my heart rate fastening.

"Harry! Niall! Liam! Zayn! We have to leave now!" Louis screamed in the background.

"Calm down Ciara." Zayn said.

"No Zayn! I'm scared that I'm gonna die if I stay here! I know that he is going to come back drunk and with a brunette or blonde and he will fuck her!" I screamed.

"I think Harry should talk to her. She isn't calming down." Zayn said muffledly.

"Ciara?" Someone asked.

"Harry? Do you remember me?" I asked, getting butterflies.

"Kind of. I have dreams about us." He said.

"Really? Do you remember any songs?" I asked. My breathing calmed and I was curious of the answer.

"Yes. I know Isnt She Lovely by Stevie Wonder." He said. I laughed a little at how many times he would sing that song.

"I love that song. You would always sing it when you got bored." I said.

"Ciara knows everything about you. Put her on speaker." Niall said.

"Ciara?"

"Yes Niall?" I asked.

"Where did Harry work before the X- Factor audition?" He asked.

"Hmmm... A hair salon? No, at Walmart." I said, earning a laugh from the boys.

"He worked at a bakery. Everyone knows that though. He was hot." I said.

"Thank you. I try really hard." He said, making me laugh. I heard a few doors open and close.

"Ciara. We have to go in a bit but I'll get Joseph's address from Vanessa, okay? I promise nothing will happen to you. We will be there tomorrow." Liam said.

"Okay. I don't think he will let me eat today so I will eat right now. I love you boys. Oh, and Harry?" I said.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I hope you remember me." I said before hanging up. I got up and peered out the door. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a yogurt. I went to the living room and lied down after eating, slowly falling asleep.
