My body is a cage, that keeps me from dancing with the one i love

Niall’s POV

The alarm clock is playing the fine tune of the Tsunami song, when normally I find it quite pleasant. However with combined with the amount of beers I drank yesterday it is not much of a pleasant moment. More a painful shot to the head. Thereby the drank has worn out, so the pain in my chest of the punches and the kicks I got are back. Quick I hit the alarm and it stops. The sun shines through the window full into my eyes. Damn, I even forgot to close the curtains last night. I am trying to remember what I did last night.

*Flashback to last night*
Zayn, Liam and I left the pub around 5 o’clock, when we drank a couple of good beers and had a couple of good laughs. We decided to call for pizza on the way home and have some fun back at the house. We all live together, with Harry and Louis as well. Both would probably be at home. We decide first to contact them and ask if they want pizza as well. Zayn calls Louis to conform.
“Hey Louis, Zayn here. We want to order pizza, you and Harry want some too?” Zayn asks in his silence voice. The way Zayn talks is always a mystery. Always like it sounds like whispering. Louis probably didn’t need a long time do decide cause Zayn confirmed the order and hand up. “Twice the Salami pizza.“ he said. Liam and I laugh. Off course the Salami. They order it every time.
I call the pizza place, knowing Liam doesn’t want to. Always to shy for those kind of things. When I am on hold, I see Zayn being busy with his phone. “Who are you texting, Zayn?” I ask him and I smile, when I see he gets his cheeks red. But he quick puts on his smile. “It’s Melissa from last night.” I knew it had to be something like that.

After a few minutes we ordered the pizza’s and we are home. We stuffed our sports clothes into the washing machine and crashed on the couch. Harry and Louis were already there and asked us to join in for a scotch match. Off course we said yes. Drinking some scotch is always good.
Not many times later the pizza came and after that we kept drinking and watching some telly.

Around 1 o’clock at night I remember being the last on the couch with a boozed Harry on the other couch. We decided to go to bed. Last thing I remember is walking up the stairs, that’s all.

*End of flashback*

I take off the sheets to get out of bed, when I see my sleepwear. NOTHING! Wow.. what the hell happened after getting up the stairs? Glad to see all my clothes are all in my room. Once again I wake up with a boner. That is like almost every day now. The dreams I have lately are always the same. It is always about that same guy, but I have never met him. I do not know him…
I quickly get some clothes for today and go to the shower. Within a few minutes. I am clean, and all dressed. I put some gel in my hair and brush my teeth. All done. I check out myself in the mirror when I hear a pounding sound on the door.
“Niall, are you in there?” Louis’s voice chanted through the bathroom. I was ready, so I opened the door and I see a slight tired face of Louis. I laugh out loud, knowing he had trouble getting to bed after the whiskies.
“Hahahaha, a bit hangover, Louis?” I say out loud. My headache vanished after the shower, but his was still there.
“Shut up. Be quite. It hurts!” he said shushing me to silence.
Louis gets into the shower and I go downstairs to get some breakfast. When I pass the living room, I get shocked up by a snoring sound. I check out the couches and smile when I see Harry laying on his chest all passed out. As a bitch that I can be, I open the volume of the radio and press power. A massive big sound fills the room, as quick as Harry gets woken up. Like a chased down cat in an ally he shoots up and jumps behind the couch. Slowly his head pops out from behind. He has a small evil glare in his eyes looking at me.
“HORAN!!! I will kill you.” He shouts pointing at me. I keep smiling, but start my run out of the room.

After my breakfast and still shaking of Harry, I am ready to go school. Harry, Zayn and Louis don’t have to get in school for an hour. But Liam and I have a class to attend to in the morning so we go walking to school. It is not far, just a 10 minute walk. We always walk through the park, that is the quickest route.
Liam is quite a shy guy, but when we are together and talk about comedy shows, we are always having a lot of fun. At school, Liam tells me he has to get something from his locker and he will meet me at class.

I go to class, but when I am almost there, I feel someone’s eyes in my neck. Slowly I watch over my shoulder. My heart skips a few beat and my eyes are filled with fear. My feet are stuck to the ground, my breathing goes weird, as I see him. Darryl Johansson. He smiles at me with an evil glare. Without that anyone can see it, he blows me a kiss and a wink of his eye. I feel the heat on my face. I blush for sure. The images of yesterday in the showers all fly back towards me. My heartbeat goes even faster and faster. I decide to ignore it and walk on. Thank god my feet still want to move. I still feel the heat on my face and the eyes in my back. I can just feel his eye’s look at me.
I get into class and go sit all the way in the back corner. In class there are desks two on two in three rows. In a stressed way I’m shaking my legs under the table. I keep looking towards the door. I hope Liam will come in quick now.
After two minute of stress, the hurt gets more and the panic gets me again. Darryl enters with one of his mates. I try to ignore them, but my eyes have a will of their own and keep a lock on Darryl. He walks to the back of the class and come sit near me. Between us is only the space between desks… Liam where are you?!
Darryl and his mate are whispering, so I cannot hear it, but I know it is about me. They are shushing and I hear my name sometimes in a sentence and when they do I hear them laugh in an evil way. I feel sweat coming everywhere in my body.

Darryl’s POV

I am waiting for my mate to get going to class, just when my new project walks by. Sexy Horan. I instantly get into character. I blow him a kiss and wink at him. I can see the fear and panic in his beautiful eyes. I see him go to class. Yes that is the same class as I have. I will start my investigation today on Horan. His habits, his friends, his clothes, everything!
My mate Sean is here, so we proceed to class. When I walk in, I see where I wanna sit. In the back, in the row next to Horan’s desk. Sean was with me yesterday beating the hell out of Horan. So we whisper the bully plan to talk about Horan and say his name some louder and then laugh and whisper more, just to make him a bit crazy.
From the corner of my eye I see that it works. He is way to curious. Without that Sean sees it, I am writing a note:
Horan,
How do you feel? I hope it does not hurt anymore, so we can re-play the scene of yesterday after school.
See you around sexy slave.
I fold the note a few times and as I turn to act like I have to tie my shoe, I throw the note to Horan’s feet. He has been keeping his eye on my anyway the hole time.

Niall’s POV

The whispering is making me insane. Just focus on something else. I am trying to read in the textbook, but I have to keep looking at Darryl and his evil plans. He turns to me, what the hell does he want now? From the corner of my eye I can see him throw something to my feet. A note? What the hell? When I look at Darryl his eyes look furious to me and command me to pick up the note. Without hesitation my body reacts like a robot to do his bidding. I open the note and read it:
Horan,
How do you feel? I hope it does not hurt anymore, so we can re-play the scene of yesterday after school.
See you around sexy slave.
I want to hide my panic and act strong and confident, but all I can do is look scared. I swallow once to keep my breathing back to normal. I can still feel my heart go crazy. On that moment a relieve comes up, when I see Liam enter the classroom. I try not to freak out and stay cool as I can be.
Behind Liam more students enter in a loud crowd together with the teacher. Ms. Stelton, she is always firm and just as always starts the class immediately.

Class goes good and I can build a wall next to me to ignore Darryl. Sometimes I look up and see him looking at me in a flirting way. It drives me mad, but then I can focus back on Math.
After the class, Liam and I hike up quick out of the class to get on to the next one. Liam is surprised about my speed, but he does not ask about it.

When the last bell of the day goes Liam and I get out of class. The last two classes I haven’t seen Darryl anywhere. We walk towards the exit of the school, when Liam tells me he can’t come home yet.
“I am staying a little longer. One more class to go to.” He tells me like it was an apology. He always works hard for school and wants to be the best in school. I nod and tell him that it’s okay. I got homework to do at home, so I can do that and be finished before diner.
I walk outside the school and walk down the street. Got my earplugs in and listening to some nice songs. I walk further towards the park. It is around 4.30 pm and it is mostly very quiet in the park. Just like now, there is nobody!
Everything is going fine and I am planning to do dinner tonight. I will make my special pasta tonight for the boys.
When all the sudden I see someone coming towards me. I recognize him immediately. One of Darryl’s friends. I look behind me and get scared more, another one. To escape a fight I have to get off the path and run past trees, through the woods, past the lake and back to house. I am fit enough to do, but can I make it?
