Chapter 14

  I widened my eyes in shock. Mark and his 'group' were walking right up the driveway to the front door of the large house. I dropped to the floor hoping they hadn't seen me through the window. I forgot about my ankle and it caused me to wince with pain. I ignored the pain in my arm and ankle and began to crawl towards the living room to tell Niall, but was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. I was right in front of it, but no windows were around it so I wasn't seen. Hopefully.

  Niall came out of the living room stopping in the doorway and looked down at me in pure confusion. He raised his eyebrow, slightly tilting his head. "It's Mark." I mouthed, I was to afraid to speak aloud. His eyes narrowed, nostrils flared, jaw tensed, fists clenched. You could almost see steam coming from his ears as he stood angrily before me. I cowered back a little as he held out his hand to help me stand up.

  "I know you're in there! I know you have her!" Mark yelled from the door as he pounded against it. I gulped and started to slightly shake in front of Niall. His phone buzzed in his pocket and he took it out. "Harry's here with the girls outside in the car." He whispered in my ear causing me to nod rapidly and pull away.

 The pounding continued and we just stood in front of the door. "What do we do?" I questioned as quietly as possible, you could hear the nervousness as it seeped into my voice. He shook his head. "Go ups-" He was cut off by the sound of the door cracking and falling down. I shrieked and jumped back as it landed at my feet before wincing. Pain shot through my ankle and creeped its way up my left leg causing me to put all my weight on my other leg. My eyes widened and I looked up to see an evil smirk plastered across Mark's face as his large build stood in the remaining doorframe.

  "Hello, hot stuff." He spoke with the same tone he used at the party. I swallowed the lump back in my throat and suddenly my view was blocked my a muscular figure as he pushed me behind his back. He wasn't very tall, but he towered over my short height of 5'3".

  "Hello, Horan. Pleasure seeing you here on this fine day." He smirked, looking down at Niall. "Just go away." Mark laughed deeply. "You know I can't do that without my payment." "I'm not a payment." I growled. I will not tolerate being called a payment even if my life depended on it. "You are one." I growled again, but before I could speak again, Niall stepped forward. "You stay away from her or things will get uglier than ever." Niall growled, clenching his fists at his side trying to maintain his anger. I cowered taking a step back at the frightening figures before me. Mark chuckled heftily. "We will be back." He chuckled low and deep and he and his group stepped back and simply just walked away. 

  I was shaking slightly as it all overwhelmed me and pain coursed through my body. A tear managed to escape my eye and flow down my cheek. Niall turned back to me still clenching his fists. His eyes softened and returned back to their more icy blue color as his fists unclenched along with his jaw with my frightened figure. He looked down at me, but before he could speak he was yet again interrupted.

  "Belle!"
