"You okay?" Niall asked as we walked through the school gates.

"Yeah," I smiled as he shook it off.

I wasn't okay at all. I was bullied. Having Niall by my side made me feel a lot safer, especially since I've been hanging out with him more now that were a couple.

We've been friends for a while, although he always hung out with his friends until now. Now were a couple I'm not alone at lunch times, I'm with Niall so they haven't come near me. Although Niall isn't aware about their bullying, they always did it when he wasn't around and I was too scared to mention it.

They glared at me as we walked together.

3 girls, the main one smirking at me as I looked away, uncomfortable, although Niall didn't seem to notice.

We walked into school and waited by our classroom.

"Were early, I'm just going to go to the loo," Niall smiled, going to walk away until I spotted my bullies walking towards the classroom.

"N-no, Niall don't go." I whispered as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Why not? I need the loo Y/N," he laughed slightly, but also had concern etched onto his face.

"I- I just don't like to be on my own." I said, pleading with him today.

"Aw babe, I'll be back in a few minutes." He said, kissing my forehead and walking away.

"He's not your protector you know, were not just going to leave you alone," the main girl who bullied me smirked.

"Please just leave me alone, I haven't done anything to you." I sighed.

"No, I don't think so. Your annoying and ugly and no one liked you before, so what makes you think Niall does?" She laughed as tears welled up in my eyes.

"He does," I whispered, trying not to cry.

"You don't sound so sure," she laughed.

"Listen, Niall could do so much better than you and you know it. Your ugly, there's nothing pretty about you and he doesn't love you. Your so gullible to even think he does." She added before turning around and talking to her friends as Niall approached.

"Hey, I'm back, were you alright for a few minutes?" He joked, making me feel stupid for even saying I didn't like being alone.

I blinked back my tears and laughed, nodding.

"Hey, how are you?" My bully exclaimed, wrapping her arm around my shoulder.

"Oh, I didn't know you two were friends." Niall asked, confused.

"Of course we are Niall, hey can me and Y/N have some time to talk at lunch?Were friends and you've been with her loads lately." She laughed, squeezing my shoulder, harder than needed.

"Uh...yeah sure," Niall said, completely confused.

Niall's Pov:

I noticed the girl next to Y/N, who I hadn't actually talked to before, squeezed Y/Ns shoulder as she flinched. Did she just hurt her?

As soon as I said Y/N could spend time with this girl, Y/N looked at me with a look of fear, hurt and she looked distraught.

Her eyes began to water as she ran to the bathroom.

"Maybe I should go and check on her." The girl said, although I felt like it should be me doing that.

"No, I'd like to see how she is please." I said, stopping her and going to the girls bathroom before she could protest.
