Abusive Love // N.H.

Chapter 15

No POV

Niall was getting angrier with every breath. 

"SO WE HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHO'S BABY THIS IS!" Niall spat at Amber. As tears slowly began to trail down Amber's face Niall realized something.

"You said it could be Liam's?" Niall slightly pushed Amber away. "That means you fucked my best friend." Niall took off his wedding ring and threw it at Amber. He got up and left. As he ran down the stairs Liam followed. Niall ran out to his car, slammed the door, and drove away. He drove for hours until he reached a beach.

He got out of the car and walked onto the beach. He stood just by the shore. As he watched the stars he remembered the thrid night of his honeymoon with Amber.

Niall's POV

Since Amber was getting ready in the bathroom I took my chance. I grabbed the picnic basket from the closet and put in a bottle of champagne, two glasses, and two blankets.

When she came out I was sat on the bed, holding the basket. She had on the dress I had picked out for her and put on red lipstick like I had asked. " Let's go to the beach. " I said standing up, blushing.

In one hand I was holding the basket handle and in the other was Amber's hand.

When we arrived at the beach one of the resort employees had set up candles and was playing my guitar. I walked her to the candles and the employee played our song. Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran. I set down the basket and put my hands oh her waist.

We held eachother as if we were glued together. We slow danced past the end of the song. When it was over I read the employees name tag. " Thank so , Mark, I'll take that now. "

Mark left and I strung the guitar over my shoulder. I got one of the blankets out and laid it for Amber. She sat down and I sat across from her. I started to play Night Changes.

"  driving too fast, moon is breaking through her hair she said it was something that she won't forget having no regrets is all she really wants

I'm only getting older baby & I've been thinking of you lately. does it ever drive you crazy, just how fast the night changes? everything that you've ever dreamed of , disappearing when you wake up. But there's nothing to be afraid of...

even when the night changes I will never let it change me and you."

I set down the guitar and pull the glasses out of the basket along with the champagne. She has a shocked look on her face. I may have bought her an eighty dollar bottle of champagne. I smile and hand her a glass. I pop the bottle open and foam comes out the top.

She blushes as I'm pouring her glass and she waits as I pour mine. " A toast to a forever love , no matter what. " she bring her glass up to mine and we hit the rim of our glass against each other.

We spent the night on the beach, drinking champagne. She would stare at the stars and say " the stars are so beautiful " and I'd simply whisper back " so are you. "

-- flashback over --

It was probably the best day of my life, after that cold winter night I met her at the park. As I think of all the things we've been through tears start to form in my eyes. I tried so hard not to let them fall, even though I was alone.

The more I thought the harder it was to stop myself from crying. Then, I remembered when I was buying her engagement ring and I broke. I fell to my knees and all the tears I had held back poured down my face.

I put my hand out , still crying , and searched for something sharp. I found a piece of broken glass and held in in my hand for a minute. Then I violently took off my coat and rolled up my shirt sleeve.

My hand jerked slightly when i touched the cold glass to my warm skin. I slowly carved an unknown amount of lines into my skin. I didn't want to get back into habit, but I couldn't help it.

I rolled my sleeve back down and pocketed the glass after I put my jacket back on. Still crying I get in the my car. I drive to the nearest bar and when I get inside the bartender said to be " Hello sir, what would you like? " I look up at her with red eyes and said

" Anything to take the pain away. "
