I Will Fall For You.
Dealing.
I woke up for a moment unsure of where I was. I looked at my surroundings. The room was messy and there was clothes scattered everywhere. Niall. I touched my collar bone remembering last nights events. I gazed my fingers over my lips remembering the kiss. I was lost in the situation. I couldn't be with Niall, I worked for him, he's a huge superstar and I'm just an ordinary girl. I wasn't prepared for the media back lash. What was I going to say to him, hey that kiss last night was amazing but ya it can't happen again. But the truth is I wanted it to happen again, desperately. But it couldn't happen again. Our worlds are too different.
I struggled to get up. I was so sore. I waddled over to the mirror witnessing my body, or at least what it use to be. My right eye was purple along with my jaw bone bellow it. My sides were covered in large bruises. My legs had scratches on them, a large bruise on my left thigh. My cut seemed to be healing already. I pulled off the band-aid on my forehead where the scratch use to rest. I took a deep breath causing a sharp pain in my stomach. I stood in front of the mirror for a good five minutes, examining every inch of my bruised body. Walking out of his room and into the kitchen I saw Niall sitting at the counter with a bowl of cereal in front of him, gazing into his phone. He looked up and put the phone down. He slide his hand through his hair.
"Goodmorning. I see you found the shirt I laid out for you" He smiled at me
"Yeah, thank you"
"No problem"
"I mean for everything last night. Really thank you, I would't be standing right here if it wasn't for you" I said while walking towards him. Niall just shrugged his shoulders unsure of what to say.
After a long silence "I think I'm going to report to the police, what happened last night…can you drive me to my place so I can get some close on and head to the police station?"
Niall widened his eyes "Oh, yeah sure. Let me get my keys."
We hopped into the black Range Rover and headed to my apartment, we didn't say much as we drove other then the directions I gave him. We didn't talk about the kiss. As we pulled up to my flat I told him that I would only be five minutes. I ran upstairs there on some jeans, and an old t-shirt paired with some gold flats. I soon ran back down to the car.
"All set?"
"Yup" I said smiling to him
The whole time I was nervous. I would have to explain to the police everything that happened. I would have to go back and relive it. I knew it was going to be hard and painful, but for some reason, I know I have to do this. I walked into the police station with Niall by my side, his hand rested behind my back in support. I was glad he was here. I stood in front of the secretaries desk. She smiled at me, her dark hair hung right above her shoulder and she had these to-die-for green eyes.
"Hi, honey can I help you" She had a surprising scottish accent.
"Uhm, yes" I looked over to Niall, he nodded encouraging me to continue. "I would like to report a rape, or I think it would be assault in this case."
She widened her eyes at my response, "Oh my god love, lets get you some help why don't we"
She escorted me to a room along with Niall. We sat in a two seated room. I sat down and Niall stood against the wall. The walls surrounding me were grey. I rested my arms on the table, noticing some bruises for the first time. Wow, I really went through hell last night.
"It's going to be okay" Niall said to me, I didn't know how to reply so I just nodded and gave him a half smile.
Two officers walked into the room. One man and one woman. They man looked to be in his late thirties. His brown hair had flashes of grey. His eyes were a warm hazel. He didn't look threatening like most police officers that I knew. The woman had long red hair that met together in a french braid. She had only a few freckles that were settled on her nose. Her blue eyes were really dark, almost black.
"Hello love, I hear that you want to report a rape of some sorts" The woman said in a thick Irish accent. "Looks like you got pretty banged up form the looks of it" She said lifting my chin to examine the bruising.
"Yes, well I wasn't technically raped" I talked hesitantly
"American?" The man asked, I nodded. "Alright so just tell us what happened" He said pulling out a notebook to take notes.
I took a deep breath, I knew I would need it. "Well, we were in a club in London, and a drunken man, or at least I believe he was drunk, approached me. He put his hands on me and said that we could have some fun, stuff like that. When I tried to get away he pulled me back and gripped my wrist, when I tried to wiggle free he grabbed my arm." I showed then the bruising for proof. "He then threw me into a room onto the ground. He then got onto of me so I screamed, but then he pulled out a knife and I went quiet for a few seconds. I could see him looking at me so I screamed Niall's name." I gestured towards Niall who's face remained stiff. "He slapped me after that, really hard. Then he said to me 'You yell, I hurt you, You don't do as I say, I hurt you'." I gulped, tears slowly began to come down. "Then he cut my dress and threw it off. I was scared so I screamed, praying that someone would hear me. So then he cut my collar bone." I showed them the cut. "Then he hit me over and over again. He started kicking me and kept hitting me everywhere. As He hit me I collected as much energy as possible and screamed for Niall one last time. Then he swung the door open and saved me." By then I was in tears. The woman handed me a tissue and I collected myself. I looked over to see a few tears escape from Niall's eyes, I pretended like I didn't see it, but I did and that broke my heart more then anything.
"Okay love, now you just have to go to one of our sketch artist so he draw you up, and if you would like we can have a nurse come check you up to see if your really alright?" The woman said to me
"Okay, and yes that would be great. Thank you, so much" She nodded and left the room.
Niall came over and brought me in for hug. My arms wrapped around his neck with my head buried in his chest. He arms formed around my waist. He kissed the top of my head.
"It's over now" He whispered to me. His embrace was calming and for right now thats all I needed.
