A/N: I will be referring to Timothy a lot. Kaya's just hallucinating so every time you see this *Timothy that means its Harry. When you see this ^Timothy it means I’m talking about her ex. ok? Sorry for the confusion.

Kaya's P.O.V.

The minute Harry yanked Liam off of me, I began to panic. All I could see was *Timothy beating up Liam. Heart pounding I shook my head, closed my eyes, and opened them again. Harry was not there only *Timothy. I froze and watched with horror as Liam lay there not fighting back.
Niall ran in and over to me. "Kaya! Kaya speak to me, are you ok?? Kaya?!?"
His gaze turned to the fighting boys. He ran over to them and tried to yank *Timothy off of Liam, but *Timothy elbowed him in the knee. Niall grunted before slugging *Timothy across the face screaming, "Dammit Harry!! Get off of him and go comfort your nearly raped girlfriend!!!"
*Timothy froze before turning towards me. My heart stopped as he stood up and began walking towards me. Trembling I backed away stuttering,

"*T-Timothy w-what are you doing? W-where's H-Harry?"

He froze again, looked at Liam then at me before saying softly, "K-Kaya, babe, it's me Harry. Timothy's not here, just me."

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE JUST SAID THAT!! I can clearly see him standing there instead of my Harry!!! Shaking my head I said, "N-no y-you're not H-Harry. H-Harry would n-never beat someone l-like t-that. Harry's not an m-monster."
*Timothy looked like I had just shot him. He started walking towards me again and continued to back away. I was soon pressed up against the wall with *Timothy a respectful distance away. Tears formed in my eyes as he stepped a little closer.

'H-He's gonna do it again!! GET OUT OF THERE!! Get out NOW!!!' My mind screamed, but I was too frightened to move.

Zayn and Louis walked into the room lookin g incredibly frustrated. They said, "What the heck you guys?!?! Are we playing or n- Wait...What happened?"

Relief flooded through me and I ran to them, tears rolling down my cheeks. Zayn caught me in his arms and held me gently while I cried onto his shoulder. Murmuring softly in my ear, he helped me out of the room saying,

"Shhh. It's going to be okay Kaya. It's gonna be alright. You're just scared right now it's alright you're safe now." He sat down on the floor pulling me with him. We sat there, side-by-side, as he slowly rocked me back and forth.

I clung to him sobbing, "T-Timothy found me!! H-How did he find me?? He found me!! He’s gonna take me back; h-he's going to finished what he started. He found me Zayn!! I-I don't want to go through this again he's going to hurt me!! He's gonna-"

Zayn cut me off. Rubbing my back, he said, "No Kaya. Timothy will not take you. He's not going to take you because we won't let him. I promise Kaya, he won't finish what he started because he won't get to lay a finger on you. He will never touch or hurt you again I won't let him. You're practically my little sister now and no-one is going to hurt my sister! Not when I can do something about it." He held me tightly before kissing my forehead softly. "I promise Kaya." He whispered once more.

I managed to calm myself down a bit. Knowing that Zayn was going to protect me, knowing that ALL of them were going to protect me gave me a good deal of comfort. The two of us just sat there side by side for a few minutes before Zayn said,

"Kaya, I'm going to check on the lads okay? I'll be right back, I promise."

I began to panic all-over again I grabbed Zayn's hand before saying, "NO! Please, please don't go!! Timothy-"

"Will not hurt you or find you. Don't worry he'll be taken care of, and I'll only be a couple of minutes. Is that okay?"

Reluctantly letting go of his hand I stuttered, "O-O-Okay, but p-please hurry!"

Nodding, Zayn smiled and walked into the other room. I sat there alone and scared. Scared that my incredibly abusive ex would find me and drag me back to that little shack in the woods, where I almost lost my uhh, you know...IT. Pulling my knees to my chest, I placed my head on my knees and tried to clear my thoughts. Closing my eyes, I focused on controlling my breathing. The moment with Liam was circling nonstop in my head. I couldn't stop it or conceal it. I tried to block the scarring flashback but it was to no avail. The next thing I knew I was back in that horrid shack.....

*Flashback*

A/N: Here's a pic of "Timothy" http://www.dailydoseofqueer.com/images/fashion/cute-hollister-boy-puppy.jpg your welcome XD

^Timothy slapped me before throwing me unto the ground. He was mad and drunk again.....and I had called him out on it.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH!!" He screamed, "HOW DARE YOU!!!"

I held my cheek tenderly, tears streaming down my face. "I-I'm sorry T-Timothy. W-What c-can I do to make it up to you? What do you want me to do?"

^Timothy's eyes burned with hatred and he yanked me to my feet, using my hair by the way, before slapping me again. Pulling me close to him, very, VERY close to him, he muttered in my ear. "You know exactly what I want princess." His breath reeked of brandy and cigars, and I did not like this crazed look in his eyes, I didn't like it one bit.

I shook my head in disbelief I did know what he wanted but he had tried for 2 F@CKING YEARS to get it!!! Did he think that he was going to get it now??!! Apparently he did because he looped his finger in my belt loop and tugged it down a bit. "Bedroom." He said, "NOW."

Standing up straighter I said, while shoving his hands away, "NO Timothy you won't get it now and you will never get it! I'm done!! I QUIT I'M LEAVING THIS INSTANT!!!!" I started walking to the door but Timothy had other plans. He grabbed my arm before twisting it back sharply. I screamed and tried to pull my arm away but Timothy said,

"Oh no you don't Princess! You are not going anywhere. Even if you manage to run away I will always find you. ALWAYS. Also if you try to fight back I will break your arm. Do ya hear me missy? So help me, I can and will break your arm! Now get back here!!" He yanked me back into him before dragging me towards the bedroom.

I did fight but it was no use. ^Timothy is, well was, the top baseball, football, track, AND boxing champion at our school. I don't know how he managed to do it all and stay on the teacher’s good side but he did. Plus he's also a great actor. Strange huh? Sports AND acting....that just doesn't seem to blend well....

Anyway he easily got me into the bedroom before pinning me to the wall. "You do know I love you right?" He said toying with my hair.

I knew he loved what he SAW not the person inside. I knew this but I also knew to say yes or he'd beat me some more. I tried to stay strong but I could feel his gaze boring into me waiting for the answer. I stuttered out, "Y-yes T-Timothy."

"Then give me what I want!!! Or I'll just take it for myself." ^Timothy said while fiddling with my bra straps.

I didn't move, not because I didn't want to!! It was because I COULDN'T move. I could only move my head, but I didn't dare move that.

Timothy seemed to take that as a yes because next thing I knew he was attempting to have sexy make-out session with me! His hands slid up my shirt until he found my bra latch. Unhooking it casually, he slid the straps off my shoulders. Kissing me roughly he tore off my cardigan, ripped the sleeves off my shirt, and tugged my jeans down a little farther. I trembled against his muscular form and he laughed menacingly. Nibbling on my ear he traced his fingers along my throat and racing heart.

"Oh you're excited huh?" He whispered laughing, "Well then let’s get this started shall we?" He pushed me into the bed before holding me close against his, now bare, chest. "I love you baby, and I'm never gonna let you go."

Sobbing I turned away from him, but he yanked me back, closer this time. "P-P-please stop T-Timothy. Y-You're hurting me." I begged, wiping away a stray tear.

He smiled evilly before pulling out a dull pocket knife, causing my heart to stop beating. "Oh I can hurt you a lot more baby. A lot more. Now let’s see how about we carve our initials in an arrow heart? Isn't that what your stupid boy band says?"

"N-No it's I-I got your n-name tattooed in a-an arrow heart and they're NOT stupid!!" I stuttered.
^Timothy thought for a moment before saying, "You're right Kaya!! They aren't stupid, they're brilliant!!!"

"Dear god, have mercy on my soul!" I whispered before yanking my arm away and sprinting towards the door. ^Timothy laughed and ran up besides me,

"You really are determined aren't you? Well I locked the door and the window soooo there is no way out. Sorry love." Timothy said before throwing and pinning me to the floor. He then placed the knife's tip on my heaving chest. "Now, let's see...T-i-m-o-t-h-y in...an...arrow....heart..."
I screamed as he carved each letter unto my chest. I then started sobbing as he put the knife away and pulled me to eye level. He leaned in to kiss me but the door flew open.
"STOP!" A Bobbie screamed, "You are hereby under arrest for kidnapping and for sexual child abuse!!"

Cassie ran into the room and I started sobbing as I ran to her. She screamed when she saw the cruel carving on me, before pulling me into a fierce hug. The officers had handcuffed ^Timothy and was forcing him unto his feet. ^Timothy muttered darkly as he walked by me saying, "I will find you Kaya. The minute I get out of jail I will find you and finish what we started. I swear it on my life."

I trembled again and when he was in the car and pulled out of sight, I passed out.

*Flashback end*

I jumped as the flashback ended and as a pair of arms wrapped around me gently. Sobbing I buried my face in my hands. "H-He's coming for me. I'm never going to be safe. I-I'll never ever be safe not until I'm dead. ^T-Timothy's gonna find me a-hand he's gonna finish what he started! He's going to kill me Niall. I-I'm gonna die.. I-I have to get away, I need to get away!! I got to protect you guys, h-he's gonna hurt you just like he hurt me. He's found me!! I gotta go I need to protect you he's found me....he's found me!" I quickly stood up but Niall pulled me back down and wrapped his arms around me protectively.

"No Kaya." He said, "Timothy will never, EVER get a hold you. Not while I'm alive and breathing. I swear Kaya, but if he does get you, which he won't, we will search for you. We will never stop looking until you are back with us. Safe and sound I promise you Kaya. I swear on my Irish beard to be!!" He held me tightly and I clung to him desperately. I needed a secure friendship like this, I just needed this feeling of security that just seemed to emanate from them, I needed....well I needed them. Zayn joined in the circle and I was surrounded by their support. I released some of the tension, and relaxed just a little bit.

"That's right." Zayn said gently, "Calm down, we'll protect you. No-one is going to hurt you again. We'll get over this crazy bump in this rollercoaster of life. You're strong Kaya, you can do it. I know you can because I've seen you do it, we all have. We all believe in you. You can do it, because you always have."

They released me, and I gave them a weak smile, but I did feel better. Niall smiled broadly, laughed and when I wasn't looking tazored me. I squealed, smacking his hand and pulled Zayn in front of me. They both laughed and I started blushing ferociously. ^Timothy's face however crept into my thoughts again and his threat echoed in my mind,

"I will find you Kaya. The minute I get out of jail I will find you and finish what we started. I swear it on my life."

My blush drained quickly and was replaced by a ghostly pale complexion. My head began to spin and I started swaying slowly. Next thing I knew I was falling and heard Niall scream,

"Zayn!!!!!"

I felt someone catch me before brushing a stray hair off my face. ^Timothy's laughter echoed through my mind along with the threat. A friendly voice was desperately calling my name and begging for me to say something. Another voice said that I was going into shock and that I needed to get back to a flat or something. The same voice told me to blink if I could hear.....him?I think it was a he.

Anyway I did as I was told and blinked. It helped clear my vision a bit, and I saw Louis leaning over me but his face morphed into ^Timothy's. I turned away with tears building in my eyes. Louis then said, "I don't want to do this but I'm going to get Harry. It might help her calm down."
Harry, Harry, Harry, Harry, Harry, Harry.......His name echoed through my head slowly pulling me back to my senses. 'Come on Kaya!' I thought, 'Fight that paranoia!! Fight it!! Wake up!!! Wake up.....'

I blinked a few times, before moaning softly. Zayn and Niall snapped back to attention. "Kaya! Are you-?"

"Help me up." I said softly, "Please."

"Kaya we can't!! You- Okay, Okay!!!" They each grabbed an arm and gently pulled me to my feet. Leaning heavily on Zayn, the three of us slowly walked back into the other room.
Louis was just finishing a sentence before I interrupted saying that I was fine and continued walking towards them. Harry instantly stood up, tears forming in his eyes and bean to bumble out an apology, "Kitten, I'm so, so sorry. I wasn't thinking and I-"

I ran to him, cutting off his apology and cried into his chest. "You're back!" I sobbed, pressing my ear against his heart. "You're back. You defeated Timothy, you're back..."

He held me tightly, tears falling onto my head. I could tell he was resisting from sobbing his eyes out because his chest was heaving slowly. Harry was constantly apologizing and I was getting a little sick of it. So I released him and gently grabbed his hands, but they felt weird, like they were all cut up. So I looked down at his hands and gasped,
"What did you do Harry?!?"

He stuttered a couple of words before I spotted a fallen first-aid kit. I quickly ran over to it before scanning its contents. I needed gauze, sanitizer, and medical tape and whoever had organized this kit did an awful job!! I did however find what I was looking for. I grabbed a handful and hurried back to Harry. After cleaning my hands, I carefully cleaned his hands and wrapped his broken knuckles before kissing them softly. (They weren't literally broken just so you know.)
"Does that feel better?" I asked.

"Much better. Thanks Kitten." He said smiling.

I blushed and looked at the floor. I love my new nickname!! But out of the corner my eye I saw someone. Turning my head a bit I saw Liam and gasped again. I ran over to him insisting that I help him out and he instantly began to apologize.

"Kaya. I-I'm so sorry! I'm so terribly sorry I didn't know that-"

I flinched for a second before saying, "Shhh. Please don't. I forgive you ok? Now hold still." I quickly finished cleaning and bandaging Liam, I then noticed his nose was a bit more crooked than usual. Scooting closer I could tell that it was broken and after setting and taping it back into place quickly, I patted Liam on the shoulder.

Liam moaned and cautiously touched his nose before saying while wincing, "Thanks Kaya."
Cleaning my hands a bit I said, "No problem. Now do you still want to play laser tag? Or do you want to go home?”

"Well we already paid for it soooo I guess lets go blast each other!!" Liam then picked up Niall's gun and blasted Harry laughing.

Harry's vest lit up and I laughed, "When you're ready come and get it!!" I helped Liam to his feet and Niall, Liam, and I ran off into the arena. I heard Louis laugh and the sounds of footsteps. The sounds of laughter lifted my spirits and I smiled before hiding in a corner ready to spring.

*An Hour and 30 minutes later*

The games, as Harry said, were a close tie and Harry's team won the first round and my team won the second round. The games were a lot of fun and Harry did capture and yes we did make out a little bit. *Blush* but my thoughts were just a jumbled mess. So as we drove back to the flat, I tried to straighten my thoughts. How is it that I, Kaya Smith managed to steal the hearts of not only one but TWO of the biggest singers on Earth? In a matter of 3-4 days?? And how did Cassy managed to snag Niall for a boyfriend in just one day? How is it that I had three, smoking hot famous people kiss me in just 4 days?? Granted one was just a thank you, and the other was lustful but still how? What was I thinking when I gave Liam his birthday kiss?? I should have known that it would lead to disaster! I just don't understand how a simple girl who's had little to nothing good happen in her life receive every teenager's dream! How does that happen?? Is it just a stroke of luck? Or are things finally starting to change after 3 years? It was just too much to handle at the moment and I was still shaky from my flashback-shock attack, although nobody could tell.

Harry then placed a hand on my lap and looked at me with concerned eyes. "You okay?" He mouthed.

I nodded and placed my head on his shoulder and whispered, "Just sleepy. That's all." Harry understood and rubbed my back gently. After a few minutes I was dozing in and out of an uneasy sleep. The boys joked around but did so softly which I was grateful for. The jokes were either completely stupid or slightly perverted until Zayn said,

"She really is special isn't she?"

"Yeah, she's my whole world and I don't know what I would do without her."

"Dude, you wouldn't still BE here if it weren't for her. Plus I just don't understand why some jackass would want to hurt her. She never did anything to hurt anyone and she never thinks of herself." Niall said bluntly.

"That's not the point guys. We all know that Kaya will have to leave in 2 days." Liam pointed out.
"Please don't remind me, I just can't bear the thought of her leaving. I know that she has a life to lead but-"

"Kaya keeps you together. She's your sanity and a reason to live, to continue, we understand. We've all seen that your glow has returned. We knew you were slipping away and we did try to help you but nothing seemed to work. Kaya's your- no she's our saving grace." Louis said respectfully but also with such emotion.

"There's just got to be a way to keep her with us! Is there a job opening? She could be our daily-"

"No guys." Harry said softly, "Kaya should be able to choose her own path, and lead her own life. We can't force anything on her nor can we pave her path. She has to do it herself, I don't want to lose her either because you guys are right. I was slipping away and beginning to lose hope and I thought the only way out would be death but then she came into my life. She not only saved my mental health but physically to. No, I don't want to lose her but if necessary I will let her go so she can go on with life. I just hope that the time doesn't come soon."

I slowly sat up and said sleepily, "Nor will that day come."

The boys heads whipped in my direction and they said, " You-you heard what we said?"

"Yes I did, and glad I did. I don't want to leave you guys either because you've just given me this strong feeling of safety. I to was slipping away and the only thing keeping me going was you guys and my brothers. Yes I believe that this was meant to happen and we were meant to be together."

"And together we'll stay. Kaya place your hand out please."

I did and the boys placed theirs on top of mine and Louis then said, "All in favour of making Kaya C. Smith an official member of One Direction say aye."

"Aye!!" They lads said and together we laughed but it was the happiest moment of my life. The world may never know it but the 6 of us would. One Direction now had 6 members and it stay like that as long as we lived.
