Bel's P.O.V :
The date is going great so far and it sadly reached it's ending, although he told me had a suprise for me.
"It was nice to see you at Anglos Pizza Polar, come again!" Lou grinned innocently at me as I send him daggers. If looks kill, he'd be dead by now. Niall gripped my hand softly in his, his touch sending this kind of vibration through my body but I can't figure it yet.
"We can walk and come back again, it's a 5 minutes walk" He informed and I nodded as we started walking. He started talking about this specific girl, Ariella is the name. About how he's the most bounding one with her and how she's the strongest girl he have ever seen. He started talking about if I'd like to maybe go with him and that's when I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Have you had fun today?" My dad asked me as we walked down the streets. It's the first day we've hanged out together since ages, and I was glad about it.
"Absolutely" I spoke, smiling sheepishly at my mom who was on her phone.
The streets were getting dark and their weren't a lot of people and it suprised me becuase it is London after all. As I was ahead of my parents, I heard a faint scream behinde me. I hesitated to turn but when I did, I saw a gun on my mom's head, the man slowly pulling the target. Two arms wrapped around my torso as I faintly yelped, clenching my stomach as someone kept kicking it repeatedly.
"Leave them alone!" I shouted as I saw them holding my parents back.
"And what are you gonna do about it, huh?" The one with black mask spoke as he held the knife to my dad's neck.
"Please!" my mom's ear-piercing scream echoed through the dead streets.
"Shut up, woman!" One of them spoke, re-connecting his palm with my mother's cheek repeatedly.
"Stop, I'm begging you here!" I whisper/scream as my mother let out silent sobs.
"Can't do, only one can leave alive" He spoke, leaving an annoying laugh escape his lips. From his voice, I think his in the middle 40s.
"Then kill us don't kill her, she's young" My dad spoke while a few tears streamed down his face.
"Ok, my pleasure" One spoke as I felt two arms drag me away.
"No, please stop!" I spoke as I saw the kinfe get stabbed into my dad's chest.
He winced in pain and fell to the floor, he called my name so I ran to him and hugged him, crying on his shoulders.
"I remember when you were 4, and you always used to hug me because you were scared" He softly chuckled, and I flinched. It's not that it's a bad memory but it just hurt me a lot to see my dad, dying in front of me.
I whimper, "Just remember that we'll always be beside you, forever" He spoke. I didn't wanna leave my dad now, not ever.
I nodded as I kissed his cheek and stayed in his embrace for a while before I got dragged by one of the 3 men.
"No, please!" I pleaded. But non of that ever helped.
And that was the last time I ever saw them. My parents death.
I fell to the ground, my head hitting the cold floor as I heard screams faint away, and blackness took over.

I woke up to the sunlight that stretched across my face, I yawned at the sight of my lighted room and the morning sunshine. I got up and rubbed my eyes before standing on my feet, walking towards the bathroom.
As I finished doing my daily routine, I walked into the kitchen just to find mom cooking breakfast. Usually, it's dad who preparers breakfast so I was suprised when I saw her in the kitchen.
"Good morning darlin'" Mom spoke, planting a kiss on my forehead. I wanted to question her as in why isn't dad cooking but I decided to not ask.
"Good morning" I spoke as I sat at the dinning table.
"If your asking why daddy isn't cooking it's because he went to bring your birthday present before the first day of school" She spoke excitingly as I giggled.
"Happy Birthday Bel" Dad squealed as he placed a birthday cake in front of me, 'Happy 10th Birthday Bel' the heading was with a couple of hearts and frosting. It amazed me becuase it was so delicious and beautiful. I kissed my dad on the cheek as he hugged me and I hugged back tightly. And then he handed me a small box, wrapped in silver with a glittery silver ribon. I quickly opened it and a smile was soon plastered on my face. It was a pendant, and it was my grandmother's. It's a silver heart and inside you can insert a picture. My parents inserted a picture of us at my first Birthday, it was the best present although it was simple.
"I know it's simple but your a grown-up now, and I didn't know what I had to bring you so I thought of this" He smiled sheepishly as I hugged him one more time.
"It's perfect, thank you!" I spoke as I hugged my parents tightly, making them chuckle.
"Glad you like it" Mom spoke as she helped me wear it.
That day I knew that whether their half away across the world or right beside me, I'll always have a heart that'll remind me of them. A heart they own and passed away. A heart we'll forever and together stay inside.
I started to open my eyelids but they were too heavy. I struggled to open it but I couldn't, and then I lost focuse on what I'm trying to do and stayed quite so I can hear the people who are talking.
"She's ok, she just passed out for a while but she's doing fine. She can leave when ever she awakes" I heard the doctor assures somebody.
"Are you sure?" The familiar voice spoke, worryingly.
"Yes, although I have a few questions" The doctor asked. How can I hear everything perfectly but I can't move or talk?
"And that will be?" Niall asked, his voice returning to a worried tone.
"She have a few bruises on her stomach along with some scars on her upper forearm, may I ask if you know why?" The doctor asked Niall, questioningly. Oh shit, shit, shitty shit! I heard a long pause before Niall's answer.
"I really don't know" Niall responded, as I felt him look at my half-dead body. Well I'm not dead but for now, I don't know If I'm am I alive.
"This is serious issues, her stomach is dangerously bruised and her cuts are from a high level of depression, if you know anything please inform us" The doctor spoke as I heard a door click, signaling he'd left.
"Wake up Bel please" Niall hopelessly shook me, giving me a boost of energy as I slowly opened my eyelids. He haven't noticed becuase his face was buried in his hands, a few tears fell down his cheeks.
"N--Niall" I begun to talk, starting to spill letter after letter. He shot up, his eyes puffy and his cheeks pale. He smiled as he hugged me tight but then backed away, a look of disapproval formed on his face.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, pointing to my stomach. I shrugged and bit my lower lip, trying not to look at him.
"Becuase it's a dark past" I spoke, still looking away.
"Who abuse you Bel?" Niall asked seriously. How am I supposed to answer thst without getting caught?
"Nobody" I spoke honestly as I scratched the back of my neck.
"Don't lie please" He pleaded as he took my hand in his, a tear begun to roll down my cheeks.
"I can't tell you Niall" I spoke, as I felt my fragile body started to shiver. I haven't cried since that day. That day that ruined me and what people call 'life'. How am I allowing to show this part of me to Niall? This part is gone long, long time ago.
"Yes you can, trust me" He spoke as he reached my cheek, whipping the tear away with his thumb. His touch had send small fireworks throughout my small and fragile body.
"I can't" I spoke as he groaned. He's making this way too hard on me as I stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
"If you can't trust me, then how can I be with the one I love?" He asked and I simply shivered.
"Niall, it isn't easy on me-- Wait, what?" I asked, He loves me? Wow. Nobody ever really cared that much.
"I love you Bel Watson" He simply stated as he wrapped his arms around my petite body. I quietly gasped, this is too close becuase I never been in a relationship. I didn't know what to do since I'm too lost in his eyes, his sea blue eyes that I can stare at forever.
"M-may I kiss y-you?" He stuttered and I mentally gasped. He wants to kiss me? But I already told him I'd hurt him! I don't want to but I can't trust him; so how can we be together if I don't trust him?
"Niall I'm sorry but I can't trust you yet" I spoke as he sighed, I felt bad for rejecting him but it's for his own good.
"Why can't you?" He asked and I frowned, why can't I? Well, becuase I don't trust people thst easily. The only people that know are: Havi, Mila, Ana and Ben. But it's just becuase they were their when all of that happened. They were their when I first had my break down. They were their while he wasn't. But you can't blame him, he haven't known you forever.
"Because I just can't" I spoke as I got out of his grip and locked the bathroom door, changing into my clothes.
The ride home was completely silence and that wa becuase I felt asleep. I felt to muscular arms wrap around my body, picking me up. I felt the comfy duvet lay under my back as he unwrapped his arms around my body. I quickly gripped his arms, stopping him from leaving.
"Stay.." I whispered, opening my eyes as I saw him sigh deeply. He then rested his body against mine as I hesitantly wrapped my arms around his torso making him shiver, I sure do have some affect on him.
"Why are you doing this to me?" He asked as he looked me in the eyes.
"I don't know.." I replied honestly as I stared into his deep blue eyes.
"Your killing me" He whispered and I shivered, he sure do have an affect on me too.
"Niall, I'm sorry it's just I'll hurt you becuase I don't trust you well and I don't want to but your making everything--" I was cut off my his plump lips on mine, moving slowly and in sync. How can this be so perfect when I know it is so wrong? I hesitated for a second but then wrapped my arms around his neck and played with his golden locks. After a few moments he pulled back, satisfied that I wanted this as much as he did. That was my first kiss.
"I never thought I'll make the first move" He answered honestly as a smile stretched across his lips.
"I wasn't gonna make the first move either" I spoke honestly as he threw his head back, laughing. God, he have the most angelic laugh I've ever heard.
"Then I'm glad I did" He spoke as we cuddled for a while.
"Niall?" I asked, aware of my question but I have to ask after all.
"Yeah?" He answered in a sleepy voice.
"If I ever hurt you unpurpously, would you leave me?" I asked as rested my head on his chest, his hand wrapped around my waist.
"I'll never leave you no matther what" He spoke honestly, I needed his word though.
"Promise?" I asked glancing at him.
"I promise" He answered as he kissed my forehead before I went in deep slumber.
