Ordinary Love ☒ narry

~Chapter One~

I've been going to Jackson High since Freshman year in my hometown of Mullingar, Ireland.

Yet some people still don't know who I am.

But there are some who go out of their way to be particually nasty and horrid to me on a daily basis. Otherwise known as Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Josh Devine.

Their known as the Triple Threat around Jackson.

Fitting, isn't it?

I snuck into the school in the back entrance in hopes to skip my morning beating. I had actually forced myself to eat breakfast this morning and I didn't prefer to see it again.

I walked through the halls in the center of the horde, hoping that they wouldn't see me.

"So you thought you could hide from us freak?"

I felt a punch be delivered into my nose, at the same time a foot kicked my ankle and a fist decked my ribs. I heard a sicking crunch as I fell to the cold ground and curled into the all to familar fetal position.

"Just tell us how bad it hurts and we'll lay off for now." Louis said. He almost looked remourseful for what he was contributing to. Keyword, almost.

They offered me this deal everytime, yet I never broke. I have suffered through worse. I will suffer through worse. This is only the end of the beginning of eternal suffering.

"Just say something. Please." Louis had tears running down his cheeks and I had to stop and wonder if these boys were forcing him to do this. Louis was much smaller than the other boys and I felt that peer pressure was involved.

Niall Horan, don't you dare let your kind ass heart win this.

But sadly, I happen to be a decent human being.

I used up all the strength left in me to get up. I walked slowly to where Louis was standing, off to the side as always. I brushed one of his tears away and wrapped my arms around him in a hug.

I was waiting to be shoulved off and beaten again, but it never happened. Instead he collapsed into my arms and began sobbing.

"Yo fagfest." Zayn shouted. I looked up but kept my arms around a sobbing Louis. Zayn swung his fist to hit Louis but I quickly jumped in front of him to absorb the harsh blow. His closed hand connected with my stomach and I knew that I shouldn't have eaten this morning. I released the contents of my stomach into the rapidly emptying halls. I heard a loud snap and turned around to see Louis laying on the ground clutching his right arm and saw Josh and Zayn laughing above as Louis cried out in utter pain. I wanted to lash out and kill Zayn and Josh but I couldn't. It wouldn't get me anywhere. I couldn't take on Josh or Zayn alone. Much less both.

I decided to do the only thing I could do to protect Louis. I put my whole body over top of him. I felt blow after blow being delivered into the back of my head, my neck, my back and my legs. The pain stopped after one brutal hit to the back of my neck.

"NO, NIALL! TO FAR ZAYN TO ((FWORD:)) FAR!." Louis shouted.

"Oh god. I'm going to jail." And then, I blacked out.

________Two Days Later _________

Zayn had hit a nerve in my neck that day, busting it. It put me in a wheelchair. He almost paralayzed me for life.

What else could happen to me.

Louis had a broken arm, and had sworn to stay away from the Triple Threat. Which is now Double Trouble.

Zayn was suspened from school and was facing expulstion if it ever happened again. Or basically if he was ever caught again.

So while everyone else was living basic, normal lives, I was stuck at home for a month on bed rest because I can't move.

Louis has become something like a friend to me, but hey, how would I know what a friend is, I've never had one.

He tells me how sorry he is about what happened and his part in my bullying. He also says thank you every chance he gets for saving his life.

But, I'm no hero.

I'm nothing but a mute, coward who likes boys.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

My mom came in my room sometime later, with a bottle of pain pills, a water, and a manilla envelope.

"The school said that if you get into a penpal program, they won't make you make up one months worth of school work." She said reguarding the envelope in her hand. I took it and the pain pills. I quickly swigged down the water and tore open the envelope. Inside were instructions.

"Hello there!

My name is Rich. And I am part of the BCC or Bullies Can Change.

I couldn't help but inwaradly laugh at the example letter. I mean come on, Harry or Larry or Jerry or whatever couldn't care less about my life, interests, and nonexistant friends. But I want school credit so I decided to write back.

I grabbed a notebook and pencil off my bedside table and began writing out the example letter with the blanks filled in.

Hi Harry,

My name is Niall Horan and I have been a victim of verbal and abusive bullying. I would love to answer some questions that you might have. A few things about myself are 1. I'm mute 2. I'm gay 3. I'm only doing this for credit. I am feeling very pissed that I am laying in bed when I could be at work.
