The Moment My Life Started

Chapter 29

Niall’s P.O.V

I saw Briyanna run laughing onto the elevator. The doors closed around her. I knew where she was going. I took two stairs as a time on the way to the roof. I got out there and there wasn’t anyone there. I ran back down the stairs checking every floor. I got down the second floor before I heard anything.

“Stop it. Get away from me.” Hearing Briyanna say these words made my blood boil.

“Come on baby.” I heard a deep voice say.

“Leave me alone Ian.” Ian. Hearing this name brought me back to the night where I sat on the bench with Briyanna after he had called her. I saw how hurt she had looked. I wanted nothing more than to get him away from her.

“No. I told you I would fight for you.”

“Get off of me.” I heard her say as I rounded the corner and they came into view. He had her pinned up against the wall with his body. Her arms were pinned up beside her head. Making escape next to impossible. He leaned in for a kiss. Briyanna had her eyes squeezed shut in efforts of trying to get away from him.

I grabbed the back of his shirt near his neck and I yanked him off of her and slammed him into the wall when my fist connected with his jaw, there was a sickening, yet satisfying crack. I felt a hand on my back. Instantly I relaxed. I let go of the piece of shit in front of me and he slid down the wall grasping his jaw. I turned to Briyanna, who was standing behind me.

“Are you okay?” I asked cupping her cheek in my hand and brushing my thumb across her cheek.

“I am now that you’re here.” she said leaning into my hand she turned back to Ian after kissing my lips softly.

“How did you find me here?” She questioned.

“My sister was watching an interview on TV and she told me that that guy” He nodded at Niall. “claimed to be dating you. Sure enough it was true. I caught the first flight to London. After that, it wasn’t all that hard to find you.” Ian explained through clenched teeth. You could tell he was in pain and trying not to move his mouth to much.

“Why are you here?” She asked.

“To get you back. I still love you” He said not even glancing in my direction. I stiffened at these words.

“I’m with Niall now. I don’t love you anymore. I love Niall. I have moved on. You should too.” Briyanna seemed to sense the tension. She reached over and grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. I relaxed again at her words and touch. She tugged on my hand signalling that it was time to leave. I turned to Ian before following her onto the elevator.

“You come near her again, and your jaw wont be the only thing broken.” I threatened.

“You wont be with her all the time.” He said before walking away. I turned to face briyanna. I could tell she was frightened at his words.

“Don’t be scared Bri.” I said touching my forehead to hers. “He won’t hurt you. I’ll protect you.” She closed her eyes. I led her back into the elevator. We rode in silence with my arms around her and her head resting against my chest.

We got off at the right floor and walked to the flat. I opened the door and we walked into the living room where the group had started up a truth or dare. They were all sitting on the ground in a circle. Everyone in the circle backed up alightly so we could sit down. I saw Briyanna pull out her phone. There was a text. ‘Talk later? -Jamie’ she didnt reply but she looked up and nodded. We played a couple rounds and that included all of us finding out Briyanna’s obsession with fresh breath. (Good to know.)

“Jamie, what’s your most embarrassing moment?” Louis asked.

“Oh my God.” She said covering hed face. “I was staying with a friend of mine while my parents were away. The guy I liked just happened to live down the street. I was just about to get into the shower when my dog started barking like crazy. I grabbed a random towel off the door and wrapped it around myself before leaving. I went outside to see my crush in the yard. I started talking to him and a couple minutes later, my friend came out and she yelled ‘That’s my towel!’ at me. She was kind of OCD about others using her towel. She grabbed it and left me standing there stark naked! I ran to the house covering myself with my hands. But she had locked the only door into the house. I had to get down on my hands and knees in the flower bed and find the hidden key. I could feel him watching me. I found the key and ran into the house to find my friend watching and laughing. Let’s just say, you shouldn’t replace the sugar with salt right before your friend has coffee in the morning.” Everbody laughed as she covered her face. Eleanor gasped.

“How could you do that? To someone’s coffee!” This just caused everyone to laugh harder.

“Okay Briyanna, truthbor dare?” Jamie asked Bri.

“Truth.” She said.

“What’s your favorite place?”

“Here.” She smirked at me. I knew exactly where she was talking about.

“The flat?” Liam asked confused.

“The building.” She said shurgging. I knew that she meant the roof.

“El, truth or dare?” Bri asked.

“Truth.” Louis coughed ‘sissy’ into his hand and she shot him a glare and rolled her eyes.

“What’s your least favorite thing about Louis?” She asked smiling.

“He’s more fashionable than me.” She said dead panned. We all thought this was hilarious. Louis smiled looking superior.

“Alright BooBear.” Louis frowned at the use of this nickname. “Truth or dare?”

“I never pass up a dare!” he shouted causing us all to jump slightly.

“Okay. Take me out for coffee!” Eleanor dared excitedly. Louis jumped up and offered his girlfriend his hand. She took it and he helped her up. Niall did the same for me. We all got up and left the flat.
