Chapter 6

  It has been what feels like three hours, but in reality it's been probably only about thirty minutes. I grew worried and annoyed. I was annoyed that he just left me here alone with no explanation as to what he would do and worried about what in the world was going on. 

  I did something that I never should have done. 

  I slowly crept into my seat looking out into the pitch black darkness. The street lights dimly lit the sidewalk and I could see shadows moving around in the faint light. I squinted my eyes trying to focus on the shadows to figure out what was going on. I saw a familiar, green SnapBack standing with four other guys by his side. On the other side stood six guys that I could easily recognize as Mark and his jock friends. One of the guys looked over at me and smirked evilly. My eyes widened and I slipped back down onto the floorboard curling my knees towards my chest. I started to shake as I heard muffled yelling getting closer and closer to the car. 

  I let out a high pitched scream as the window shattered glass all over me. Small cuts covered my arms that were shielding my head. I looked up to see one of Mark's friends, Josh. He smirked wickedly when he saw that I was curled up and shaking on the floor board. Tears welled in my eyes, but I wouldn't allow them to fall. I was stronger than this. He reached in avoiding shards of broken glass unlocking and opening the door. 

  I started punching and kicking, but to no avail as he was much stronger than I blocking my hopeless attempts. He picked me up out of the car with ease, holding my arms down tightly. I held back the tears as I tried everything to be released. I felt something cold come to my neck and suddenly everything around me stopped. I stopped breathing and the only thing I heard was my heart beating a mile a minute. I still managed to keep the tears at bay even with the knife pressing close to my skin.

  I swallowed hard as he started to speak drawing the attention of the others. "Put it down, Niall before your pretty little girl here gets hurt." I looked up to find a knife in Niall's hand holding it above Mark to keep him down. Niall's eyes met mine and widened slightly, worry spreading through them briefly. I looked at him pleadingly as my breath slowly came back. He turned to Josh anger flashing through his narrowed eyes. 

  "Put her down." Josh just chuckled as Mark did when Niall had threatened him earlier this evening. I closed my eyes when I heard the metal object clank to the ground. I snapped them open when I felt the knife tighten against my throat causing my breath to hitch. I was afraid that the slightest movement would cause it to slide across my delicate skin and end my life. 

  "Tell your boys to step away." Niall turned to his group nodding his head ever so slightly to where I almost didn't catch it. They all dropped the men they were beating up and walked over to stand beside Niall like a posse. I made eye contact with Mark who nodded his head at Josh then turned and started limping away. "Take your slut, but be warned. We will be back." Josh put emphasis on 'will' before removing the knife and shoving me forward. Hard. 

  I almost fell to the cold concrete sidewalk, but something, or should I say someone, caught me. I met Niall's eyes and noticed that they were a mesmerizing bright blue. How could I have possibly missed those earlier? He wrapped his arms protectively around me, holding me against his hard chest as I struggled to catch my breath. Josh passed us and walked with Mark and his beat up guys, finally leaving. Something will haunt me though. The seriousness in his voice when he said 'we will be back.' An unnerving chill raked down my spine. 

  I didn't care who he was or what his reputation was, I just really needed a hug for comfort. I wrapped my arms around his neck finally allowing my tears to flow freely wetting his shirt. The trauma from tonight finally breaking free and I released my emotion from the past month and a half. He rubbed my back soothingly and gently whispered in my ear. "Everything's going to be okay now." His hot breath sent a chill down my back. He gently placed a kiss there before pulling away and looking at his group. He took a gentle hold of my hand. 

  "Well, we should stay somewhere else."
