You Know The Night EDITING

And this caused me to want to do something about it.

It's been awhile but its here! 

stuff written in italics are words written in a letter , obviously. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE .

I use to think I didn’t need anyone that I was fine on my own but I was wrong. I need everyone, I need comforting words and hugs. I want to know that everything is going to be okay. But these revelations only torcher me. I’m not needy, I can’t be. I can’t be selfish and want attention.

But here I am, watching my sister lay in the hospital bed with tubes through her mouth and nose.

I don’t know what went wrong, why she locked her door. But it worried me, mom.

Melody isn’t like this, Mel is never quiet about her feelings. She’s the strong one, mom. I’m not, I’m supposed to be fighting for my life, not her. Never Melody.

Do you remember the time we went through that haunted house on Halloween when I was 6 and Mel was 7? She held my hand the entire time, always looking back at me and asking if I was alright. Even when one of the monsters jumped at her. She flinched but composed her self quickly. Squeezing my hand and pulling me through.

Now it was me squeezing her hand and hoping she’d squeeze back. The doctors pumped her stomach and emptied out the toxins. They say she’s alive, that she would be fine. But I know they’re worried. She hasn’t moved and the tubes are in. I hear their whispers and I know something is up. Max has been outside talking to Doctor for a while and I know it’s serious.

The girl stumbled in and her cheeks immediately reddened. Luke dropped his pen and looked up at the red haired girl.

“Sorry, I was just …” her eyes widen as he stood up. His tall figure creating a shadow over her as she took him in.

He though, took notice of the dark gray blanket in her arms and reached for it. The action pulling an entire awkward and silent moment between the two teens.

“Thanks, um he’s staying though. “  Luke motioned his head to Max who sat in the office across Melody’s room.

He couldn’t get a good look at the girl’s face, just the red hair on top of her head as she looked down at her shoes. But he could tell she was short and slim.

“Its fine, I’m only hear to drop this off. “

And then she was gone. In a hurry which left him slightly laughing until he heard the beep of Melody’s machine. Then he remembered everything, the image of him punching Niall in the face ran on replay in his mind.

He shoved his hands into his coat pocket and played with the plastic bags that once contained the pills. Felling the plastic in his hands before dropping the blanket onto a chair and rushing out.

Niall walked back to his car, it was late already and he had a deal coming on. He just had to get home and change out of the monkey suit and the long sleeved shirt underneath.

His eyes looked around the parking lot, making sure it was clear to remove his jacket. And when he did he threw in his jacket into the car. The white button up revealed some of the black ink hidden underneath the jacket. He should’ve worn a darker shirt, he thought. Fanning his arms out so he’d cool off.

Niall was in a good mood, he had gotten what he wanted today and was happy he was moving forward.

Suddenly he flew forward and slammed his face with the side of his car. The bang making blood gush from his nose as he looked up and watched Luke stand over him with a scowl.

“Stand the fuck up. “

Niall touched his nose and watched as the tips of his fingers were stained with his own blood.

Niall rose up and glared down at Luke who know seemed intimidated but the older boy. But then he remembered his sister and all fear was gone.

“You sold my sister pills, you dick. “ Luke looked Niall up and down. Sizing him up before he did something else.

Niall’s arm pushed Luke’s shoulders, the accusations infuriating him instantly.

“I would never fucking sell her shit! “

Niall couldn’t even think straight, he saw red and his hands began to shake as he glared at Luke. The red seeped through his vision and numbed his veins. He stood I front of an equally pissed off Luke, both glaring at each other waiting for someone to throw the first punch.

“Oh yeah, that’s why she fucking swallowed these up and on her fucking death bed.” He threw the small plastic bags at Niall who let them fall to his feet.

It’s like time had stopped for him, as the world grew silent and he thought of Mel, laying on the hospital bed. He could only imagine her face pale of losing color, her beautiful eyes shut, and her mouth filled with tubes. His only true hope for humanity was sick, possibly near death. The one girl he had fallen for

He bent down and picked up the bag, his hands running over the plastic before he found the small symbol at the bottom left hand corner of the bag.

“These aren’t mine. I wouldn’t sell her anything, Luke. “

Luke was bewildered at the sudden change in moods, he watched with caution as Niall slowly mumbled words to himself.  

He wouldn’t ever sell anything to her or her family. He made that clear to everyone in town. Their family was off limits, no matter if they came to you for something. He wouldn’t allow them to fall into the same hole he did.

“Then were the FUCK did she get it. “

Luke gripped Niall’s shirt tightly, his eyes never leaving Niall’s who soon pushed him off. Regaining his mind an

“I have a feeling I know who it is. “

Niall knew exactly who it was, he knew everyone around the neighborhood and every dealer. The symbol was a dead giveaway.

And he wanted to kill the bastard.

‘I’m going with you. “Luke demanded.

Niall looked over at the kid and wondered if he should risk it. Luke was young and a bit naïve. Heck, Niall had no real plan on what he was going to do.

But he had an idea.

“Alright, but when I say get out. You get out, alright? “

Luke nodded. A bit of fear being instilled into him as he agreed. Never in his life would he have thought he would team up with Niall Horan. The boy that everyone warned him was violent, cocky, and rude and most of all drugged up, he was helping him. With as much anger and vengeance as he felt himself. For once, he felt like he and Niall were one. 

SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? IS IT ALRIGHT?
