What If (Part 2)

After the heart to heart we lastly had, (y/n) and I were pretty much 'closer'. It's been already 2 months since we're close, but not close in the sense that we're in a relationship! No! We clearly aren't! Close in the sense that we are friends and talk with each other often! And each time it's killing the hell out of me! I really can't understand what is she waiting for to leave that dickhead of Isaac. Each time i bring the subject up she changes the topic and act like i didn't ask anything! And another development is that even though i hate that butt-head of my neighbour so much i still go and hang out his place and every time i see him the need to punch him square in the jaws itch me so much. But i have to control myself, each time when i see him casually putting his arms around her or peck her hand or check i feel my insides burning with envy!

Though i've got to admit that it kills me every time that he touches her! I sighed again and glanced at the sky, it was grey and gloomy! Ha! just like my mood! Currently i was in my backyard with my guitar, Liam called me and asked whether we can start to write songs! I may have said yes but to be honest i wasn't even in the mood to write one, no matter how many times i tried, nothing came up! Sighing again my mind went back to (y/n)! Thinking bout her somehow makes me calm yet at the same time she makes me feel really empty! I guess loving someone whom you can't have can be really a pain in the arsh! i strummed my guitar chords when suddenly the need to sing a song came up! I placed my hands on the proper chords, took a deep breath and started to strum the chords while singing

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul

And it's the only thing that I know, know

I swear it will get easier,

Remember that with every piece of you

And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

Feeling more low than ever i kept my guitar aside and again gazed up at the sky, it  was more darkened and i chuckled humourlessly and threw my hands over my head and laid back further in my seat and letting my thoughts running wild! i wondered if i could ever give up on her? I knew i couldn't as it's been an one-sided love for me since 3 months! But then again i do not lack girls around me so why can't i just forget her and move on! I let out a painful breath and got up! Nope i guess this one will take long to forget. Taking my guitar with me i went inside, and glanced towards the clock it was 06:00 pm! Whoa already, i went up in my kitchen cooked a simple thing for me so that i could eat  later! So until then i went upstairs in my room, to take a shower and when i came out i heard some loud music next door!

"Fuck! He's having another party today! And what a loud music! Phew! Thank god my windows are sound proof!"

I went towards my window and closed it, and once again my house was in a complete silence! Great! I Came downstairs, heated my food in the microwave, and went towards the fridge, took a bottle of beer and opened it. Setting all in a tray i went in my living room and switched on the tv and began to watch a few reviews on the football matches! But still from time to time my mind went to the party next door thinking if (y/n) is fine! Well i hope she is? I wanted to go and see her but went against the idea not wanting to interfere too much in her personal life! What if isaac gets to drunk and treats her badly. Knowing him he's such a dickhead and a drunkard that he wouldn't think twice before acting! No he won't! I preferred to divert my mind back to the tv! still i couldn't get over of the sudden restlessness that took over me while thinking about her! Hope she's fine.

(time gap- Later that night)

It was already 1:00 am! I yawned, switched off the tv and went to do the dishes in the kitchen, from the window i glanced at my neighbour's place, and noticed that the party was off! Great! I completed my task, switched off the lights and went upstairs, i brushed my teeth and then plopped in the bed! Soon i felt drowsy and closed my eyes taking the cute smile of a certain someone with me. But that moment was cut short when i heard some loud knocks on my door, i grunted and turned again in my bed and tried to sleep again! But the knocks weren't stopping! Who can it be at a frigging uhh i looked at my mobile screen! Yeah at a frigging 02:00 am! I threw the covers away from me and then went downstairs switched on the lights and opened the door without bothering to ask who it is!

 And what i saw on the other side horrified me, but i recollected myself and let out a gasp, (y/n) was standing in front of me she was standing emotionlessly  with her forehead, her left cheek a bit cut, her eyes were puffy and her lower lip was cut and blood was still coming out of the cut! I cautiously brought my hands to her shoulders and brought her inside! I knew what happen! The thing that i was fearing the most happened! That a-hole of isaac hurt her! I made her sit down on the couch and i rapidly ran to my kitchen's drawer and took out the first aid box, and again dashed in the living room and crouched in front of her, she was still expressionless which scared the hell out of me! I poured a bit of detol on a cotton and slowly brought it to her forehead, and then i mumbled softly

"it will sting a little bit! Please bear with it"

But she stayed still, i ever so lightly touched the cut with the cotton, she hissed but said nothing. Soon after i pressed the cotton to her forehead, i once again repeated the action by placing it on her cheek, and soon it was her lips, i cautiously looked up at her and but her eyes were numb, i let out a painful breath and took a fresh cotton and again put on some detol on it and carefully, pressed it against to her cut lip. She again hissed and when i looked up her eyes were full of tears, that was the last straw for me! That bastard went too far with his shit!

"(y/n) come with me NOW!"

I made her get up, by holding her hand and going outside towards that shit of my neighbour's house, but i sensed some reluctance from (y/n) as she didn't want to walk towards that man's house, but i had to end this engagement now! I waited for too long! Call it my selfishness but i can't see the one i love being ill-treated! I took long strides towards his house while dragging her with me and when we reached i opened the door and looked around! There he was in the middle of the living room drinking his ass off! But what caught my attention was the bottle's broken pieces on the floor! I lost it and left her hand and went towards isaac and grabbed his collar ,and  him being drunk didn't understand anything!

"how dare you hit her with a bottle you asshole! Did you realize that she could have been hurt badly than she is right now! Where's your fucking head at! AH! Of course you're drunk! You fucking don't know what are you doing right! Here let me break this down for you! Your engagement is off! This shitty engagement is off and to prove my point here!"

I went towards (y/n) and then took her left hand in mine, i glared at the ostentatious ring adorning her ring finger, feeling more frustrated than ever i took off the ring and threw it on isaac's face, and hissed out loudly

"You treated her like shit! But a scum like you don't need happiness! Hurting and hitting a girl is the least acceptable thing that a man can do! Actually you're not a man you're just a dick! Who lives on his father's money to live! Die already asshole"

With that i turned around and again grabbed (y/n)'s ready to go out but then we heard a humourless laugh behind, we turned around and saw isaac smirk and then he slurred,

"you may have thrown the ring on my face but at the end of the day she'll be mine you know Horan! And then I'll fucking see who's the dick then! I'll treat her the way i'll want, beat her, hit her, burn her, hurt her physically or whatsoever! I'll do it and you won't be even able to do a fucking thing!"

without thinking i went towards him and accomplished the only need i had punch him right in the jaw, and when i did he fell down on the ground twitching in pain, with a threatening tone i said 

"Don't forget i'm Niall Horan dude! And when i said that this engagement is off so it's off! Get ready for a legal notice this very morning at your door!"

With that i dashed outside with a (y/n) who was startled. As soon as we reached home i called the management not caring what time it was and asked them to help me for the case! After a lot of persuasion, they agreed to summon McCall to court within this week! Okay! Task one done! Now time to take care of (y/n), all this time she was sitting on my bed and looking at her clasped hands in her lap, i slowly went towards her and sat next to her while keeping my hand over hers, and looked at her face

"you should have known this would have happen! I warned you but you didn't listen to me! And worst i'm feeling bad as i wasn't there for you when my intuition warned me something would happen! But that's the past now! All i want is that you stay here right next to me! That's all i need! All i want is to see you in front of my eyes everyday and making sure you're fine and happy! But all this can happen if you want it to. Do you want this?"

I was patiently waiting for her response, and when she did, she turned to face me,all i could see were the cuts that now were acting like thorns on her cute face. My chest felt heavy, this looks so bad, but she kept on looking at me as if searching something in my eyes and what she said next surprised me

"you're feeling pity for me Niall! I don't need that!"

I retook her sentence and said

"pity? pity for who? You? You mean to say i'm feeling pity for you! If it was pity i wouldn't have done all that for you! I did it because i wanted to! I did it because i love you! I did it for my own selfishness! I wanted this engagement to be off since the day i knew bout it! All i wanted is that you'll be right here next to me! I punched that dickhead because he hurt the one i love! He dared to touch her made her buy beer and even announced that he'll do  atrocious things to her! How could i let it happen! Tell me that is it fair that i watch you getting hurt like this! Do you think it pleases me looking at you with so many cuts on your face! How many times again do i need to be reminded that this one-side love is cutting me like a knife,yet the pain is like a sweet torture that i would like to feel it more so i can get what i want! Call it my obsession or my love for you! I don't care! All i need is your attention on me, your sweet smile, and above all your happiness! Now you decide if it is pity!"

All this time her expression changed, she was maybe surprised hearing all that from me but she didn't shook my hands away, still she held it in between her palms and answered in a whisper

"i trust you! That's all i know! At the end of the day you were always by my side. What i want truly is you healing me! I want you to take away the pain that 'that' person did to me! If you love me really i want you to heal me with your love so that i would be able to love you too! So don't hesitate around me! I trust you"

I took in all her words, and i felt happy that she accepted me and  promised myself that i would make her forget bout that asshole! I smiled and kissed her temple sweetly, and then i asked her to lay down so that she can catch up some sleep, as she laid down, i also did the same and then hugged her from behind, i waited for her to feel accustomed to this position and when she did, soon her breath became even, she's finally sleeping, i smiled lightly and kissed her temple once again and mumbled softly

"I love you so much! I'll do anything to make you happy"

With that i hugged her a bit tighter and then closed my eyes, preparing myself that the upcoming days would be challenging but we'll be able to get through this, I know we will!
