For Your Eyes Only

Waking up I was feeling so sore and also a bit confused due to lying in the arms of Niall. I couldn’t help it but panic set in I looked down to see I was still clothed which was a very good sign. Sitting up I didn’t have time to think due to my door opening with Harry walking in, he froze as he saw Niall and closed his mouth. Looking at me he quickly walked back out of my room.
“Shit!”
I got out of bed and quickly followed Harry in to his room as I got there he was sat on his bed looking like he was about to cry.
“Harry...”
“No just don’t Olivia please... how could you”
“Harry I don’t know everything that happened”
“But you end up sleeping with him”
“I didn’t... I didn’t sleep with him just next to him”
In that moment everything came flooding back I remembered the phone call and feeling so scared and then opening up to Niall telling him I loved him.
“Yeah whatever”
“Harry listen I had a call from Aaron last night and Niall helped me, I felt too scared to be on my own”
“Oh”
“But I need you to know...I love him Harry I really do love Niall and I am so sorry...I loved you to I really did but compared to Niall you were more”
“Lust”
“I guess...”
“Honestly taking a step back I think I feel the same...but if you ever change your mind I’m always here”
“Haha thank you Harry... but if you felt the same why flip out this morning”
“Because I was angry that’s all thinking you were going to be all secretive but you haven’t so... I’m sorry for flipping out”
“It’s ok...”
“How are you feeling anyway...your face has calmed down a lot”
“I’m very sore but apart from that I’m...I’m good”
“We’re all here for you ok”
“Yeah I know thank you...anyway I must go see Dad”
“Yeah he’s downstairs”
“Thanks again Harry”
He walked over to me bringing me in to a light hug being wary of my bruises, than slowly kissing my forehead. Being in his arms made me miss him so much and realise why I had much a struggle choosing between Niall and him. I have chosen now so I had to block all those thoughts completely. Without saying a word I pulled away and headed down to see my dad in the kitchen with Karen and Leah. Leah came running up to me starting to cry and she saw my bruised body.
“I can’t believe this happened are you ok my sweet”
“Yeah I’m alright Leah”
“Darling the police phoned”
Hearing my dad’s voice I froze and Leah noticed how I tensed up in her arms.
“It’s ok darling”
“Wh-what did they say”
I was surprised he heard me as my voice was so shaky and weak.
“Well... he’s on the run”
I couldn’t help but just burst in to tears my dad came running over to me taking Leah’s spot in comforting me. Soon I heard footsteps and Jade’s voice asking what was wrong. Karen explained and I just felt another body on top trying to calm me down.
“Livy it’s okay he will not come near you I promise ok”
“Yeah sweetheart nothing is going to happen to you I swear nothing will happen”
My dad left me I could tell he was shaken up by this, I wiped my eyes and noticed it was just me and Jade sat in the middle of the kitchen floor.
“Jade....what if...”
“No don’t think like that ok... now you just need to forget about him noting is going to happen forget it ever happened it will get better”
“Ok...”
“Olivia... Jade everything alright”
“Li everything is okay... Livy was just going to have a shower wasn’t you”
All I did was nod, wiping my eyes Liam helped me up from the ground and I pushed past everyone who were all now in the kitchen. I knew Niall was following me but Jade stopped him and she explained what just happened. Having a shower was a bad idea I looked at my body I looked awful. The hot water stung the cuts I couldn’t help but just cry I felt so weak, this wasn’t me normally I’m so confident but now I was fully broken. Coming out of the shower I dried myself quickly and got in to a onesie I managed to avoid everyone as I headed to the music studio. Sitting behind the piano I let all my emotion out hitting the keys and soon I began to create a tune. I had so many things I wanted to write down it all hit me at once the lyrics and the music. I recorded the piano and then went to the drum it and began playing a piece on there. With the drums done I got back behind the piano I just played and allowed some lyrics to just pour out of me.
You tell me it gets better, it gets better in time
You say I’ll pull myself together, pull it together, you’ll be fine
Tell me, what the hell do you know? What do you know?
Tell me how the hell could you know how could you know?
Slamming my hands down on the keys I burst out crying, I begin to just carry on playing as it hit me. The chorus for this song, I didn’t bother wiping the tears away I just started singing.
Till it happens to you, you don’t know how it feels, how it feels
Till it happened to you, you won’t know, it won’t be real
No, it won’t be real, won’t know how it feels.
I crashed down in to tears and I felt bodies just fall on top of me, I didn’t jump or flinch; I just took in there embrace. They started to back off slowly apart from Jade who just held on to me.
“It’s ok Livy I’m here and I will help you through this”
“Thanks...”
With that I sat up to face everyone who all looked so sorry for me which I hated a lot.
“Right didn’t we have a meal planned for tonight?”
“Sis we don’t have to I can cook”
“Don’t be silly we will go, just give me a bit of time to get ready”
“Of course”
“Jade can you help”
“Sure”
I put on my best smile and walked out heading towards my room with Jade following. Walking over to my wardrobe we picked out some simple but lovely sexy dresses. Mine was plain black fitted and Jade put on a pink fitted dress. Standing in front of the mirror I instantly just felt broken again looking over myself all I could see was bruise after bruise.
“We don’t have to go Livy”
“No we do... nothing a bit of makeup can’t fix... right?”
“You’re right sit there and let me work my magic”
I sat down and Jade got to work, I was starting to feel a bit better knowing the makeup was actually working in covering up the marks.
“There have a look”
“Oh wow thank you Jade... for everything”
“No worries now let’s go don’t know about you but I’m starving”
“Haha yeah but I could do with a drink to be honest”
“Oww cocktail night”
“Yeah cocktail night”
With a few giggles we left my room and headed down to see everyone, I could see them all looking at me but just smiled instead of saying anything. Before we were about to leave my dad came over pulling me to one side signalling everyone to just go outside.
“Are you sure you want to do this”
“Dad I have three days with everyone I can’t mess up the plans we had”
“Ok but please be careful and don’t go anywhere on your own”
“I won’t I promise dad”
“Ok good”
“Love you dad”
“Love you to Olivia”
With a hug and a kiss on the cheek I walked out to be greeted by Niall by the door waiting.
“Liam, Jade, Harry and Zayn went in one car so me, you and Louis are going together that alright”
“Of course shall we”
“We shall, by the way you look incredible”
“You should have seen me before all the makeup”
“You still would have looked incredible to me”
“Oh stop it you”
With a light chuckle I climbed in to the back seat of Louis car allowing Niall to sit in the front. Conversation flowed easily and soon we were at this new very posh restaurant/bar. It wasn’t long until we were at the table downing our cocktails... well me and Jade we’re downing the cocktails.
“Ladies sorry to interrupt but the two gentlemen at the bar wanted to buy you a drink, the catch is though if you drink it you have to join them”
I looked opposite me to see Niall tense up this was the first test you could say, looking over at the guys on a normal night I would just go for it they were hot. Tonight though and for many nights to come I had to decline if I wanted to be with Niall.
“I’m good thanks I have a boyfriend Livy what about you they are pretty hot”
“Urmm no thanks, I’m good thank you anyway”
I turned back to my drink seeing Niall smiling and Jade and everyone else apart from Harry looking a bit gobsmacked.
“Did Olivia Stark just turn down a drink with a hot guy?”
“Yep... Looks like I did”
I hung my head low whilst everyone just carried on drinking and chatting. Thinking about it, I don’t think I could go home with a random guy anymore what if they did what Aaron did. Quickly I shook the thoughts out of my head and looked back up to see Niall just looking back at me with a concern look.
“You ok?”
“..Yeah...I’m ok”
He didn’t believe me heck I didn’t believe me, just as I was getting in to the conversation my phone began to go off and I just froze.
‘Aaron Calling’
“Livy what’s wrong”
I showed it to Jade who just grabbed my arm taking me outside, we took a seat on the benches outside to soon answer the call from him.
‘You really think you can just get back to your life, well sorry to burst your bubble but I’m not going anywhere without you you’re mine now.
Aaron please just stop
Never I always get what I want
Well not this time
You don’t have a choice my pretty I will find you and I will have you’
With that the line went dead I wanted to cry but I couldn’t, nothing would come out of me. Jade was talking but I couldn’t even register what she was saying until I noticed she wasn’t talking to me she was on the phone.
“Jade who were you talking to?”
“The police they listened to the whole conversation I gave them permission to hack your phone to trace the call or locate the number...something along those lines”
“Oh whoa thank you Jade”
“No problem, now let’s go back in ok I will tell them to ask no questions we just want a normal night right”
“Yeah please no more sorry looks I want to have the banter and the laughs”
“That can be arranged”
Walking back in to the bar I took a deep breath but me and Jade both froze seeing a bunch of girls now crowding around the table we were once sat at. Liam and a girl on his lap which I knew got to Jade and then I see it Niall had a girl on his lap pushing her hair behind her ear and laughing.
“What the fuck”
