Come And Go (Sequel to Unpredictable)

Chapter 21

Niall's POV

I sat staring outside of my window, it was absolutely boiling here and I was too warm to sleep. I'd called Liam a few times to see if he awake too but he didn't answer, so he was managing to sleep through the heat. I probably would have been able to sleep if I was with him, I hated being away from him recently. I keep getting so scared that something's going to happen whilst I'm not there, or he's going to hear something and hate me before I can give him my side of the story. Thankfully nothing has happened that he needs to know about. As I leant against the window frame my phone buzzed in front of me, I picked it up and my heart flipped. It was an unknown number, the same one from the guy that had been stalking me.

'can't sleep? got a great view of you from down here ;)'

My eyes darted up and I looked frantically outside my house, considering it was the early hours of the morning the streets were only lit up by the lights. I couldn't see anybody or make out any figures, but I have to admit I was scared. I clutched my phone and jumped when it vibrated again,

'no point searching, you won't see me out here. i know your mum's out too ha'

I could feel myself beginning to cry because I was so scared, how did he know my mum was out? I bit my lip and hovered over the emergency call button, was I better off calling the police or Louis? Before I could decide my phone vibrated again,

'don't do anything stupid, i'm watching you'

I couldn't take it anymore, I had to get help. I quickly closed down the text and typed away on my phone,

9...9...

before I could press the last nine the phone was smacked out of my hand and I was yanked back off the windowsill by two strong arms, I tried to call out but they covered my mouth. Panic was flying through me as I was dragged backwards and down the stairs, I kicked out as much as I could but they were too strong. I was launched into the living room and fell to the floor with a thud, the door was slammed shut and the lights were kept off.

"I told you not to do anything stupid, didn't I." The voice said, kicking my bare back with an almighty force. I winced at the pain and curled up in a ball,

"Didn't I!" They yelled kicking me once again.

"yes." I spat out, they forced me up and leant me against the sofa.

"Now kid, I didn't want to do this but somebody needed a bit of help. This Liam kid you've been seeing? Stop. You know you don't love him, you're so much better with me." He said, leaning closer to me. I turned my head away as he inched closer to me,

"Don't act like this hasn't happened before. Let Liam go to Zayn and I'll take care of you." 

"No." I snapped, he grabbed my jaw and turned my head back towards him.

"The fuck Horan? Don't you dare say no to me." I tried my best to turn away but he just held onto me even more,

"You're so pathetic Niall, no wonder Liam kissed Zayn. He's so much better with him than you. I came back to take care of you and treat you like a prince. What do I get in return? A replacement by some Liam kid. You know what Niall, I don't even want you anymore. This is the last you'll see of me, but I'm telling you now, Liam absolutely loved kissing Zayn. He doesn't regret it, look at you. I'd pick your gay friends over you, pathetic." He didn't leave it there, he kicked and punched me a few more times before walking out. I lowered my head and felt the pins and needles in my hands form so quickly, I knew what was happening. I was having a panic attack, I scrambled into the kitchen and pulled on some joggers and a hoody. I had to go and see Liam, as I walked I cried and shook, panicked and sobbed. I hated having panic attacks and I was all alone trying to sort this one out, I didn't want to go out alone again but I had to. I ran to Liam's house, trying my best to calm down and ignore my panic attack but it was just getting worse. I banged on his door before dropping to the floor in tears, I was breathing so much quicker than I should have been, so much that it felt like I was going to pass out. The door was pulled open and Liam looked down groggily at me,

"Niall! Come in!" He lifted me up and I fell into his house, dropping down again and crying. He sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me,

"Baby what's wrong? Please stop crying I don't want you to cry." I wailed so hard and explained I was having a panic attack, he didn't know what to do except reassure me everything was going to be okay. It was all I needed really. Once my panic attack was over he dragged me upstairs and into his room,

"Come on you're not staying at home alone, strip off and get in here with me." As I took my clothes of he gasped,

"What are those bruises?" He asked, rushing over and stroking them softly. I winced at every touch, they were red and just starting to bruise. It hurt like a bitch.

"I was attacked." I mumbled, he kissed my head softly and pulled back the duvet.

"Get in." We both clambered into the bed and got as close as possible, wrapping our arms around each other.

"That guy who was stalking me, he attacked me. I was just looking out of my window and he knew, he knew I was alone too." I began shaking as I spoke so Liam began drawing little circles on my hip, soothing me.

"He came into my house, I don't know how, and basically kidnapped me. I was thrown into the pitch black living room and he was trying to scare me but come onto me, then he told me I was pathetic and you'd be better off with Zayn." He wiped a stray tear and kissed me softly.

"What did he do after that?"

"Left," I sighed. He wrapped both of his arms around me and cradled me like a baby.

"I'm so sorry for not answering the phone, I can't believe this happened. Are you going to go to the police?" I looked up at him with a sad look,

"You know what, never mind that. Just go to sleep okay? My mum will be home soon, she won't mind you being here. I've got you." He kissed me one last time and I snuggled further into his chest, loving the feeling of his arms wrapped around me. This was such a scary experience.
