Niall's POV

When I went to Noah's house, it was empty. There was no car outside and I knew I had to find that little cunt so I made my way to Jenny's house, assuming he would be there. I was right, there was his car parked outside.

I didn't even bother knocking, I was too angry to even think on knocking. I went straight to the living room where I knew they were probably lurking and I was right. My eyes widened when I saw what I was met with.

"Fuck sake, this is why I'm meant to knock." I grumbled before covering my eyes, wishing I had never walked in on this. I peeked through my fingers when I knew they were shuffling around for clothes. I almost snorted when I saw Noah's package. Even hard, he's fucking tiny.

"We were in the middle of something." Noah looked up at me angrily. I looked to Jenny, my eyes widening when I saw her expression. She had been crying, I knew she had been crying.

"Jenny, are you okay?" I ask, quite concerned. She just nodded and wiped her eyes quickly, not giving a verbal response. I bit on my lip and then looked to Noah, my expression suddenly changing. "You little fucking cunt." I pushed him back and pinned him against the wall. "You fucking cunt! I know what you've been doing to Jenny!" I yelled, grabbing his face and making him look at me.

"Fuck off Niall." He tried to push me off but I was immensely stronger than him, surprisingly. I'm usually the weakest. I wasn't sure where I got this surge of strength, but I was damn grateful I got it.

"No you're fucking hurting her, you don't get to hurt her." I tightened my grip on him.

"Niall stop." Jenny cried, looking over at me.

"Why was she crying?" I asked him, forcing him to look at me again.

"She's crying now because you're hurting her boyfriend."

"She was crying before I even came in. Now tell me!" I yelled, looking over at Jenny then when she tried to get up but she couldn't. What the fuck did he do to her now? He didn't force her to have sex with him.. did he? No, he would hardly sink that low.

"I didn't do anything!" He yelled. I let go of him and glared down at him. He went to scramble away but I punched him in the jaw before he could. He grabbed his jaw and looked up at me, as though looking shocked I had hurt him. "What the fuck was that for?" He asked and went to punch me but I grabbed his hand and then punched him in the nose, enough to make it bleed. I succeeded, it was soon bleeding. I smiled at my work when blood began dripping on the floor.

In retaliation, he got me right in the nose as well. I guess I kind of deserved it... but I wasn't going to let it end there.

"You little fucking cunt." I pinned him against the wall and kneed him in the balls. Tiny balls may I add. "If you promise to leave Jenny, I'll stop now." I looked down at him as he dropped to the ground dramatically.

"I'm not leaving Jenny." He looked up at me.

"You are." I folded my arms looking down at him. "You are because I'm not going to let you fucking abuse her! I know you have been, don't even lie to me." I growled. "You're a sick cunt." I yelled. "And if you don't leave her right now, I swear to god, you won't be leaving here without a broken nose." I warned and for once I was being serious.

"Niall, please stop." Jenny pleaded from behind me.

"Yeah, see, she even wants you to stop. She wants to be with me." Noah sat up. I shoved him back down and then looked over at Jenny.

"Jenny, tell me right now, do you want to be with him?" I asked her. She looked to Noah and I knew he had given her a warning look. She just nodded feebly. "Swear on Bella's life." I folded my arms. She shook her head and started to cry. She couldn't swear on Arabella's life because she didn't want to be with him and I knew it.

"You get the fuck out of her life then." I made Noah stand up and pushed him towards the door, ready to do everything in my will to protect

Jenny's POV

I just watched the two boys fight, feeling rather helpless. I didn't know what to do. I was scared of what Noah would do when Niall left but at the same time, I liked the feeling of someone protecting me for once.

When Niall led Noah out the door of the living room, I took this as my queue I could leave. So I went straight upstairs to Arabella's room and scooped her up, rocking her back and forth and kissing the top of her head. "I love you so much, I'm so sorry." I whispered, even though she wasn't crying anymore and had soothed herself with her pacifier.

I carried her downstairs and once in the hallway, I saw Noah and Niall were fighting again.

"Stop it!" I yell as Arabella looks to Niall, her eyes lighting up when she saw him.

"Dada!" She squealed and held her hands out to him. He immediately turned around when he heard her voice. I saw his face when he turned around, his lip was bleeding now as well as his nose.

"Stop the fighting." I pleaded.

"Noah, leave now!" Niall yelled, turning back to him. "I told you, I'm not going to let you near Jenny ever again and if that means I have to fucking move in here and make sure you never step foot in here every again, I fucking will." He folded his arms which made me smile softly. Why does he care so much?

"No you won't. You're divorced now, Jenny wants nothing to do with you. Why else is she with me?" Noah raised his eyebrows at Niall.

"She doesn't fucking want to be with you! You're abusing her! Look at her bruises, how the fuck can you do that to a woman? How can you degrade yourself like that? What kind of sick man puts his hands on a woman in an abusive way?" He asked. "You know what, you don't even deserve the title of a man. You're a fucking boy, you don't know how to treat a woman so you're certainly no man."

"I treat her better than you did." Noah folded his arms.

"You know what that is?" Niall asked. "The biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard. You're an asshole, a fucking cunt that abuses woman and you're saying you treat Jenny better than I do?" He questioned. "I may not of been the best husband in the world, but I was certainly better than you will ever be." Niall glared at him. He was the best husband ever. He was.

"Oh really?" He challenged Niall.

"Yes." Niall firmly said. "I don't hurt women." Niall glared at him. "You know what? A person as sick and pathetic as you doesn't even deserve this fight." Niall sighed. "Just fucking leave and do us all a favour and never come back."

"You can't make this decision, this is Jenny's relationship, not yours."

"Noah, a relationship is no real relationship when there is abuse involved. Don't even lie to yourself, does she look like she wants to be with you?" Niall gestured to me and I shifted on my feet. "Just leave, you're embarrassing yourself, nobody wants you here." He was basically saying everything I was too scared to say myself.

Noah looked to me, as though silently asking me if I wanted him here. I just shook my head and bit on my lip, moving slightly behind Niall so he wouldn't hurt me. He didn't hurt me though. He just looked between Niall and I before going to the door.

"Ta-ta." Arabella happily waved to him, as though saying good riddance. He looked back at her and then to me again. I stay expressionless and then watched as Bella's pacifier was flung in the air and hit Noah directly on the head. Jesus, that baby has good aim.

"Bad girl." Noah went to inch closer to her but Niall shoved him away.

"I swear to god, if you touch my daughter, you won't be fucking walking out of here." Niall pinned him against the wall while Arabella just giggled in my arms, seemingly proud of her work. "Got it?" Niall growled.

Noah nodded timidly and slid out from under Niall's arms. "Okay, I'm going." He said before opening the door.

"Good, don't ever come back." Niall shoved him out the door so hard that he fell down the step. I didn't care frankly, not after he pushed me down the flight of stairs today. Niall slammed the door shut and I ran to him, hugging him tightly and crying into his chest.

"I'm so so sorry." Niall whispered, hugging me tightly and rubbing my back gently. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that." He rested his head on top of mine. Bella squealed between us so I put her down and let her crawl off before looking up at Niall.

"You're bleeding." I whispered. "Come on, let me clean you up." I led him to the bathroom, trying not to limp along the way.

"Jen, why are you limping?" Niall asked. "What did he do?" He whispered as I put the lid of the toilet seat down and gestured for him to sit down on it.

"He pushed me down the stairs." I quietly responded, biting on my lip as I filled the sink with water and got out the first aid kit.

"Jen no." He reached out and stroked my shoulder gently when he saw the bruise on it.

"Niall, don't." I shook my head.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" He asked, looking up at me as I grabbed a washcloth and dipped it into the water, saturating it and then squeezing the residue out of it before wiping off between Niall's nose and his mouth, it was covered in blood.

"I didn't know who to tell." I admitted, a tear rolling down my cheek as I cleaned off his lip as gently as I could. He flinched slightly as it obviously hurt, I wasn't surprised though, it looked like one of his teeth had sunk into his lip.

"But you know you can come to me with anything, you know I'm here for you." He looked up at me, furrowing his eyebrows.

"I know that now." I smiled shyly. "Niall, I seriously cannot thank you enough." I looked down at him. "It means so so much to me that you done that for me. I didn't think I would ever get him out of my life and I knew I wouldn't of done it on my own." I said as Bella came into the room with her snuggie and handed it to Niall.

"Thank you Bella." He snuggled it to his chest before handing it back to her. "And you don't have to thank me Jen, seriously it was nothing." He shrugged but I shook my head and felt tears rolling down my cheeks.

"No Niall, you saved me. I was so scared." I started to cry quite loudly. Niall bit his lip and pulled me down onto his lap, rubbing my back gently. "It was so scary." I cried into his chest.

"I bet." He sighed. "I wish you had of told me sooner." He pressed his lips to the top of my head and sighed quietly. His phone started to ring in his pocket, he took it out but quickly cancelled the call before I could see the name, all I caught was the first letter which was 'L', probably Louis or something.

"I didn't want to seem like an inconvenience." I wiped my eyes.

"Jenny, you will never ever be an inconvenience to me. You're the mother of my daughter, I'm always going to care so so much for you. You were my first wife as well, possibly my last but who knows." He chuckled. "Anyways, what I'm trying to say is I'm always going to care for you no matter what. I'm only a phone call away. If you ever need anything, I will be right by your side, even if it's three in the morning and I'm a grumpy bear because you got me out of bed." Niall smiled down at me, making me smile as well.

"Thank you so much." I rested my head on his chest. He smiled and kissed my forehead gently. "Niall." I quietly said. "Can I tell you something?" I tentatively questioned.

"You can tell me anything." He smiled assuringly at me.

"I miss you." I quietly admitted. "A lot. I missed you even more when Noah was here. He scared me so much and he brought back so many scary memories. It made me realise how much I actually do miss you." I looked up at him. He smiled softly and nodded.

"Jenny, I have to ask you something now and I want you to be one hundred per cent truthful, do you pinky promise me you will?" Niall asked, holding out his pinkie finger to me. I nodded and tied our two fingers together. "Did Noah ever force you to do anything sexually that you didn't want to do?" Niall asked. I felt as though my heart dropped to my stomach when he asked that question. I didn't want to answer it but a pinkie promise is a promise. I just nodded silently, bowing my head as I did.

"Oh my God Jenny, I'm so so sorry he done that." Niall wrapped his arms tight around me and held me to his chest, rocking me back and forth as we sat on the closed toilet seat. I didn't even care where we were, all I knew was in that moment, I was in Niall's arms and I had never felt so safe and secure since he left.

"I'm sorry he done that." Niall whispered. "I'm sorry I wasn't here to protect you and I'm here now. I won't go anywhere if you don't want me to." He smiled down at me reassuringly. I smiled brightly as well and felt the butterflies growing in my stomach.

I looked up into his eyes and then down at his lips and back up at his eyes. He watched me a little confused and before both of us knew what was happening I was leaning in. Our lips touched. After so long, they finally touched. We kissed. And it felt so amazing.

Only for a brief second though before Niall pushed me back. "I didn't mean I wouldn't go in that way." Niall stood up and shook his head. "I mean if you felt like you needed protection." He rubbed the back of his neck and I felt my cheeks flare up. I can't believe I just tried to kiss him. He must think I'm so fucking dumb.

"I'm here for you, as in I'm here for you if you need anything. Not as a boyfriend." He explained. "I have a girlfriend now." He blurted out and I felt as though my whole world stopped for a moment. So he does have a girlfriend.. And I just tried to kiss him. Oh my God, I'm so stupid.

"Sorry." I whispered and he shrugged. "It's okay." He whispered. "Maybe put some ice on your foot if it hurts." He suggested. "I need to go, I have a meeting." He told me, standing up. I knew he didn't have a meeting. I knew he was just using that as an excuse to leave.

I watched him as he left. I felt my eyes fill with tears because it was in that moment I realised something:

I still love him, more than anything.
