Heya guys, Here's the first chapter of the story, Really hope you like it, Leave me your feedback.
Niall's Pov:
Why can't we stay young forever? Things seems so much easier when your a child, The only real thing you have to worry about is falling over and cutting your knee. You don't see all the bad in the world, But at some point you have to grow up, That's when you start learning your lessons the hard way. You finally learn the true meaning of pain, Loss, Suffering. Betrayal happens by the people you thought cared. The biggest change you go through is learning to say goodbye to the people you love the most. Growing up I've experienced so much that nobody should have to go through. When I was thirteen years old I was involved in a car crash with my mum, Only I survived, I had to adjust to a world without her, A cruel, Dark world. My father he used to love me so much, We used to go to football together, But ever since my mum died he began to drink, Whenever he was drunk he would come home and beat me. The people I cared for the most turned there back on me, My mum was taken, My dad beats me, My best friend walked away from me for the popular kids. So I know the true meaning of what it feels to suffer.
I sighed as I pulled my books out of my locker. Another day of torture at school, I'm treated the same way here that I am at home, Only one person speaks to me, Only one person is my friend, That person is Cher Lloyd. She's an outcast like me, The only difference is when shes getting bullied she dosen't sit back and take it, I do.
"Morning Horan" A familiar voice sounded in my ears, I sighed knowing exactly what was coming next. Now it's time for you to meet my bullies, Also known as the most popular crowd in school. One person walks with that crowd the person I miss the most.
"Are you deaf Horan" Aiden's voice sounded in my ears once again, He then grabbed me turning me around to face him, He then slammed me into the lockers causing me to wince in pain.
"Please leave me alone" I whispered knowing my body couldn't handle another punch. Aiden laughed before raising his fist, I closed my eyes waiting for the pain.
"Touch him and I will break your arm" I heard Cher's voice, I then opened my eyes to see her standing protectively infront of me.
"Get out the way Lloyd" Cher smirked.
"Not gonna happen babes" She stated before taking my hand. I squeezed her hand gently as if thanking her once again. I then raised my head to take a proper look at my tormentors, That's when I saw him, The boy who betrayed me, The boy who left me for the poplars, That boy was my so called best friend, Zayn Malik.
"You can't keep letting them do this to you Niall" Cher stated. I sighed.
"I know Cher, But were not all as brave as you, Besides I can't argue back, Not with Zayn anyway" I said.
"But I'll be there with you the whole time, I still can't believe you and Zayn used to bestfriends, What were you thinking" Cher teased causing me to half smile.
"I know, Someday I will and I don't remember what I ever saw in him" I mumbled. Cher must have noticed my sadness because she pulled me into a hug.
"Good job you have me then Nialler" She said proudly, I chuckled before hugging her tightly. I don't know where I'd be without Cher, She's been my rock for the past few years, She's protected me from the bullies and brought me back up when they've made me feel worthless. She helped me accept that I was gay. I love Cher I really do, She's like a little sister to me, But she has no idea of the pain I go through, She dosen't know what my dad does to me, How can I tell her that? How can I dump all that on her? I swore to myself I'd never do it, I'd never put her through that, But I knew one day I'd have enough and she would be the only person I'd be able to tell.
"I love you Cher Bear" I said smiling at her, She gave me an adoring look before kissing my cheek and hugging me tight.
"I love you Nialler" She replied back.
I hate going home after school, Only because I know what's waiting for me later. My dads not all bad, When he's sober he's so loving and caring, He never seems to remember hurting me, But when he drinks that's when things turn bad, That's when he beats me and no amount of pleading stops him. I sigh as I open my frontdoor.
"Hello?" Dad you home?" I shout, When I hear no reply I sigh thankfully, I then quickly rush upstairs to take a shower. Once I'd finished my shower I changed and made my way into my bedroom, A few hours later is when my suffering began again.
Smack! Your worthless! Kick! It's all your fault! Crack! It should have been you! Shove! Your nothing! With every hit came another harsh comment, The physical abuse no longer hurts me, It's the words that break me, How can my own dad hate me this much? After my dads done he spits on my body before leaving me alone to bleed, I struggle but I manage to pick myself up off the floor, I then make my way over to my bed. I drop down on it allowing my tears to fall, I then look at the pictures on my nightstand, There's one of me and my dad together, Then there's one of me and my brother Greg, He's got his own life now so turning to him isin't an option, Then there's one of me and Cher, I know I can turn to her but I wouldn't put all this on her, There's another of me and Zayn, Turning to him isin't an option either, He dosen't care about me, Not anymore. I then see one of me and my mum together, I grab the picture allowing my tears to fall from my eyes.
"I miss you, I wish you were here" I whisper before kissing the picture, I then close my eyes allowing my dreams to take over, Allowing my body to forget the pain, I need help, I don't know how much more of this I can actually take.
