Chapter Nine

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don't know why

"What do you mean he's not here?! Harry, you were supposed to be watching him!" I screeched, fear and desperation filling me in a matter of seconds. Harry stood in front of me calmly, scratching the back of his head as he let me yell at him.

"I'm sorry Ni... I swear to god he was right next to me when I last checked. I lost him, I'm sorry. He couldn't have gotten far, knowing him he went to Blake... It'll be okay. Don't stress yourself, think about the baby..." Harry whispered the last part, and I tried to calm down. Can you blame me? A.J. had run off... Jimmy was around.

I was freaking out.

"I... I'm gonna start looking for him. You take this area, I'll check with Beth." I said, trying to stay calm but all I wanted to do was puke. Harry nodded before doing what I asked.

It didn't take me long to find Bethany, but when I did I knew A.J. wasn't with her. Blake was with her though, and that made me feel even sicker.

"Beth!" I screamed, nearly running to her.

"Niall? You okay?"

"Hav-Have you seen A.J.?" I panted out, the urgency to find him growing.

"I can't say I have... B, have you seen A.J.?" Bethany asked Blake. Blake stopped playing with the stick he had found, looked at Bethany confused before realization came over his face.

"Uh yeah... I think he went with Dad?" Blake answered, shrugging.

"Do you know where?"

"They're just over by the pond. A.J. wanted to look at the ducks." I nodded, but the answer to his whereabouts didn't help my anxiety in my stomach.

"Thanks Blake." I said before heading over to the pond. I silently hoped that Harry had already come over and found A.J., of course majority of my hopes never come true.

A.J. was staring at the ducks with wide eyes, squealing as one got too close. Jimmy stood behind him, a smile on his face as he watched.

"Alexander!" I called out, causing not only to have my son look my direction but also for Jimmy to look.

"Mummy! Look! Duckies!" A.J screamed, pointing excitedly at the ducks. My smiles was fake the closer I got to them, I didn't want anything to do with Jimmy.

"I see that little bean... Daddy is worried about you though so we should go find him." I said once I reached him. A.J. grabbed my hand though and shook his head.

"No. I want ducky." A.J. stated.

"Sweetie please don't fight me..."

"Mummy. No go."

"There's no need to leave Mummy. Let the kid enjoy the ducks." My blood went cold as Jimmy spoke, the want to leave almost overpowering now.

"Leave us alone Jimmy." I whispered, turning to look at him. Jimmy wore that stupid smirk he always wore, one that usually made you smile back but now all it did was make me feel weak.

He knew I couldn't defend myself.

He could easily overpower me.

And I hated that.

"Your little guard dog isn't here to protect you now little brother." Jimmy whispered, taking another step towards me.

"Jimmy, I'm warning you."

"He's all talk and no bite... He's a wimp and I think we can both agree that he can't take me. He can't even keep track of your kid, what makes you think he can protect you little brother?" Jimmy moved closer, and I tried to move further away... the lake was too close.

"We never did get to finish what we started, now did we little brother? Does he know how much of a slut you were? How you were practically begging me for it?" I could feel his breath on my face, and I made sure that A.J. was behind me. I wouldn't let him hurt A.J....

"Baby, go find Daddy..." I whispered quickly before shoving A.J. towards the direction where I assumed Harry was. A.J. simply nodded, and for once I looked up and thanked god for the fact he knew when it was okay to be stubborn or not.

"Jimmy, please just walk away. You... You can just walk away from this and I won't tell anyone... Please." I started to plead, terror filling my entire being as he continued to move closer. I had my hands up on his chest at this point, my efforts to push him away completely futile.

"Now where's the fun in that little brother?" He chuckled, a chuckle that sent shivers of terror down my spine. I was almost to the point of crying now... I needed to get away.

"Please Jimmy..." Jimmy's hand touched my cheek, his index finger running down it as I took in a shaky breath. I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at his face.

"I don't thi-"

"Get the hell away from him!" Harry's voice sounded out which caused my eyes to snap open.

"Ah, if it isn't guard dog." Jimmy said, finally stepping away from me though. He smirked at Harry, his arms crossed over his chest as he looked at him. What happened next neither of us really expected, but to be honest I was happy he did it.

Harry didn't hesitate in walking up to Jimmy, his right hand completely balled up into a fist as he punched him square in the jaw.

"I'm his husband you f ucking dick." Harry hissed out, and for a moment I was scared he was gonna hit Jimmy again.

"That's the best you got? That's barely gonna leave a bruise princess." Jimmy sneered but his face still held that smirk.

Naturally, Harry hit him again. There was a very loud pop, and Jimmy let out a pained gasp.

"You f ucking broke my nose you little prick!" Jimmy yelled, glaring at Harry as he shook out his hand.

"I warned you." Harry said, shrugging before grabbing my hand.

"Come on Niall..." Harry whispered before he darted to walk away. I followed him without hesitation, not wanting to be anywhere near Jimmy.

"You okay?" I asked, suddenly worried about his hand. The knuckles were starting to turn a little purple.

"I think I broke my hand... but I'll be okay. It felt good."

"You're an absolute idiot." I said shaking my head. I was still grateful though.

"But at least I'm your idiot. That's all that matters."

----------------------------------------

I seriously feel like I'm gonna die.

I can't breathe without coughing.

It really hurts :(

Anyways, Narry with children makes me wanna cry.

And the little kid could totally be A.J.

Oops?

Who wants to hear about my weird love life?

If you don't then you can stop reading this cause yeah...

Anwyays, I've told you about the guy I work with and all that... I walked into work today and he called me this stupid nickname that he always called me and yadda yadda.

Well I walked into the back where my friend Alexis was and she was like

"Oh my god, I love you hair!" Cause I recently dyed the bottom layer purple.

So I proceeded to tell her that I found it all over the back of my shirt and neck this morning when I woke up and the guy I like casually walked in and said

"Well that's hot." Which he does often. We openly flirt with each other constantly... oops?

BUT I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ONE OF MY FRIENDS LIKES HIM TOO AND UGH.

I don't know.

I'm done talking nonsense now.
