Life Saver(Niall Horan)

Chapter18- cover

Nialls POV
We arrived in Australia, where we were staring our tour, and all I wanted to do was call her. For some reason I wanted her to call me first but I knew that wasn't going to happen. I walked into my hotel room, I'd booked it for a surprise for Courtney. The bed was huge and in the shape of a love heart, it had a big bath with jets and was basically like a mini house. However I had no one to share it with now. My heart sank as my head did into the fluffy pillows and then I caved in and took out my phone. I decided to try and face time her.

"For fuck sakes!" I said when she didn't answer. I tired four times and not once did she pick up. In the end Zayn came in.

"Hey Niall! We were going to go for dinner, are you coming?"

"No um I'm not hungry." I said looking at Zayn with a blank expression. His eyes popped out of his head and he raised his eyebrows. Then he rushed over to the bed and sat down.

"Wow mate, things will get better. I know, from like what you've just said, how much this is killing you but trust me it will get better like. If it helps I'm missing Sarah. We are all in the same boat but only your missing a cruise ship and I'm missing a fishing boat because like.... Not saying Sarah is less... I mean I think I love her but um like you know. Let me get this out right it's like you and Courtney have been together longer so it's like you like... Ugh! Ok I miss Sarah. You miss Courtney but you properly miss Courtney more because you've been together longer." He took a deep breath before shaking his head.

I couldn't help but to laugh at his ramble and couldn't help but to feel the slightest bit better. Of course he'd be missing Sarah, Liam would be missing Louise, Louis would be missing Holly and Harry well he'd be missing someone; we thought he liked Olivia but he's insisting that he doesn't... Bullshit I know.

"Thanks Zayn, love you!" I said getting up and hugging him.

"Love you too bro." Zayn smiled.

"Ugh! Hello? Zayn? When I said take your time I didn't mean spend hours telling Niall how much you LOVE him! The waiters getting pissed off. We've got a table for five and only three are there now come on you two-" louis rolled his eyes. Me and Zayn laughed.

"Make that four, Niall needs some alone time to um think and catch up on some sleep." Zayn turned around and winked at me before him and Louis left. After they shut the door I heard louis speak.

"Niall? Not eat? Something must've happened."

It was true. Something had happened. My heart was broken and I couldn't bare the feeling.

Courtney's POV
I sat down with some chocolate ice cream and caught up on eastenders. Then I heard my phone. I picked it up to see Niall wanting to FaceTime. I declined it obviously not wanting him to see my face. Above my eyebrow I had a large cut and under my left eye a huge purple bruise that was getting worse before getting better. The night before I had avoided my mother by going to bed with a 'headache' and this morning I woke up and my parents were both at work. School also wasn't an option., there was no hiding it with makeup, I'd sat up most of the night trying. The cut stung so bad my face felt tingly at times and my vision was a little blurry. I know I was in a lot of pain but nothing hurt more than my heart, I actually had a physical feeling in it that made me feel so empty I'd randomly burst out crying. I looked at my phone to see if I had any messages. I did. It was one from the I know number that wasn't so unknown anymore.

Unknown number:
Morning! Sleep well? I just wanted to give you a reminder of how fat, ugly and worthless you are. No one loves you, not really. If they did do you think you'd be suffering the way you are now. You're just a waist if space and you know it. Yesterday you didn't even fight back... One word for a person like you isn't there? Pathetic.

My face screwed up as I tired to hold back the tears. I had no idea why the words of such a scum hurt me but they did. To me myself was a sensitive subject... I hated being judged or talked about so anything would make me feel really low. I bit my lip so hard I could taste blood in my mouth, I pinged at the elastic band on my writs until I felt pins and needles. I needed distracting and so I decided to call Erica, she always had a way if distracting me and plus it would have been break for her... Perfect timing.

"Hey Eri." I said in my monotone voice.

"Hey, are you ok?"

"Well, ok you've got to prise not to tell anyone. Not even Olivia or Sarah or-"

"Ok! I won't!"

"They'll just freak out but I know you won't, right?"

"Um no of course not just tell me."

After about twenty minutes she was filled in on what had happened with me and Niall and what Macy had done. She didn't respond after I had finished.

"Um Erica?

"WHO THE FUCK DOES SHE THINK SHE IS, DO YOU WANT ME TO SMASH HER UP?"

"No, no! You mustn't say anything!"

"Wait until I see her I'm gonna get that little slag and I'll teach her a fucking lesson!!!!!"

"You can't! You promised! If you do she'll hurt Niall!"

"And if I don't she'll only keep hurting you."

"Erica please, stay quiet about this. I thought I could t trust you to hold back. I know it seems bad right now but it'll be fine..." I laughed nervously.

"It's not funny! Im so cross with her! But of course I'll stay quiet, just tell me if you want me to attack her because believe me... I will."

After the very interesting conversation about the thing I called her to distract me from and nothing had changed except for the added stress of her saying something. I knew I just had to have faith and try to forget on my own. I decided I'd tell my mum I didn't feel well so had the day off. I worried a out her seeing me so I sent her a text.

To mum:
Hi mum, just to let u know I had the day off today bcoz I woke up feeling awful! I'll probably b asleep by the time u get home so c u later. Ly x

I went on my phone to check Instagram but before I had the chance noticed I had four texts from Niall.

From Niall:
Helloooo? Answer face time! x

From Niall:
Stop ignoring me!

From Niall:
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU! PLEASE STOP BEING SO CHILDISH.

From Niall:
Idek y I bother.

My heart faltered as I read them. I quickly typed a message back. Even though I was a bit upset with him I didn't want him to think I was cross with him or didn't like him because I was truly, madly, deeply, in love with him!

To Niall:
No! I couldn't ft earlier, I wasn't ignoring you! I'm sorry xx

He answered in seconds.

From Niall:
Ft me now then.

Was all he said but I couldn't, he'd see my face.

To Niall:
I can't.

He read it but didn't reply so I decided to distract myself by going on Instagram like planned before. The thought of his upset face didn't leave my mind, he must've thought I was a right cow and rightly so; first I tell him I'm not coming on tour with him and then I ignore his calls. I would've hated me!

I scrolled though my feed until a picture made my heart freeze. It was an article. With a picture of me. Coming out of an alley way. I had a large cut above my eyebrow and under my left eye a huge bruise. The title read "Niall Horan abuses girlfriend?"

It was all my fault.
