All We Wanted

I took a deep breath that pierced my throat, snapping me awake. I woke up, unfamiliar and disoriented about my surroundings. I looked up and saw light bulbs and alcohol bottles broken all over the floor. I stroked my fingers on the soft, fuzzy red carpet. Beads of sweat began to break out on my forehead because it was so stuffy in the place I was in. There was a very sharp pain in my leg when I stood up. I quickly fell to the floor, trying to muffle my screams of pain. I looked around one last time and to my surprise I saw Niall. Blood was covering his face in cuts and gashes. On his side were two men with a frame twice the size of Niall’s. “RUN MARIAH! RUN!” He had tears in his eyes. “RUN! I LOVE YOU! RUN!” I did as I was told, I ran.
