For Worse, Or Better?

Chapter Eight

Nialls POV

Belle was still asleep when I woke up, she had slept in Simons bed as she didn't want to sleep on her own. Sam left yesterday and I'm glad he did. Belle looked so happy yesterday, like she wasn't afraid that Sam could just appear and hurt her. She looked so peaceful with her eyes closed and her hair loosely fallen around her rosy face. Now that Sam has gone I can spend as much time with Belle as I wanted.

After I had gone to the bathroom to have a shower I went back to my room to get dressed. Belle was sat up in bed yawning wearing only a pale pink vest top with small roses on and matching shorts. She had a beautiful body, she was slim and pale but not too pale. Although she looked amazing I couldn't help but notice the scars and bruises down her legs, arms and on her stomach. She must have seen me looking at them, she sighed and quickly disappeared into the bathroom.

"I'm sorry" I told her when she came back "I-" she interrupted me.

"It's fine" she looked like she had been crying "they're just a reminder of what he had done to me, they will never go away so I will never be able to forget" she said as she lifted up her top so she could see the fresh bruises that covered her entire stomach.

I walked over to her and put her top down "he won't hurt you anymore, not while I'm here." I wanted to protect her forever but I knew at some point we would both have to go back home. She pulled me in for a hug and we stayed there for a while, just thinking and enjoying the silence.

"How long has he gone for?" I asked

"I don't know he didn't say exactly but I think about 8 days." Belle answered with a sudden smile, 8 days wasn't long but it probably felt long to her after she has had to put up with him almost every day for at least a year.

We heard someone shout from outside so I went to see who it was. Louis was running around in his boxer shorts.

"What are you doing?" I must have made him jump as he almost slipped on the floor and landed on his bum.

"Water park! We're going to the water park! Ten minutes! GET READY!" He shouted as he ran off down the hall looking for Harry.

I laughed to myself and went to tell Belle but she was already dressed. She was now wearing a lacy white jumper and light blue shorts, I could see underneath her jumper she was already wearing her bikini.

"Did you hear?"

"I think everyone heard" she laughed and left me to get changed.

Belles POV

At least this time we will make it to the water park, I was excited about going last time and even more excited this time as Sam wasn't going.

"Good morning" I said as I walked into the living room.

"Morning"

"Hello!"

"Good morning" I heard back.

I sat down next to Nichole, who was also sitting with Harry. "Where's Mari?" I asked them.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her yet today" Nichole answered.

I looked at her puzzled. "But you sleep in the same room?"

"Not anymore, last night we changed rooms. Now I'm sleeping in with Harry and Mari is with Zayn." Both Nichole and Harry smiled and Harry put his arm around her. I suddenly realised why and laughed.

"I don't know what you're laughing at, you're sleeping in with Niall now!" Harry protested.

"That's only because I don't want to sleep on my own now that Sam has gone."

"Right, you two looked pretty cosy yesterday and you were the last two back last night, you were gone hours!" Nichole shouted. I guess they were right, but I don't think that Niall likes me like that. I mean why would he?

Just as I thought this, Niall entered the living room. He was only wearing a pair of denim shorts and his hair was scruffy but styled at the same time. He looked perfect. I felt Nichole nudge my side and she laughed.

Niall sat down next to me and put his arm around me. I glanced over at Harry and Nichole who were  both wagging their eyebrows at me. I laughed but my face went a shade of red.

Once Zayn and Mari had come out of their room laughing and smiling at each other we left for the water park.

I walked with Will and Hannah. Will had his arm around Hannah and we were all talking about Ireland. Hannah was asking Niall questions then it was Nialls turn to ask questions.

After a while the topic turned to me. And Sam.

"I'm glad you broke up with him" Hannah said. "You're so much happier now he's gone."

 "I can't believe he just let you break up with him. He seems like the type of person to not be told what to do, especially by a girl" laughed Will.

I felt Nialls hand brush against mine and he linked our fingers together. I looked up at him and he was smiling which made me smile. I saw Will and Hannah smile at each other too but I didn't say anything.

"I'm glad you broke up with him too" Niall said quietly into my ear. I squeezed his hand a bit then realised that we were at the water park.

Nialls POV

Louis ran past us dragging poor Eleanor behind him. He had to be the most excited for today. There was a desk in the reception and Will went up the woman it to talk to her. After a few minutes he came back with a grin that showed he was hiding something.

"What did you just say to her?" Liam asked curious as we all were

"Nothing. You'll see" and he walked off whistling. Hannah just rolled her eyes and followed him and we all followed Hannah. The changing rooms were really busy so we all had to share. I went in one changing room with Belle, Harry and Nichole and we met everyone else at the showers once we were changed.

Harry was already wearing his swimming shorts so he just had to take off his shirt. Belle was wearing her cute pink bikini under her clothes and I had my shorts under the shorts I wore there. Nichole however didn't think to wear her costume there so she had to completely undress to put it on. Belle offered to hold up her towel so she could dress behind that but Harry grabbed it first. He held it up so we couldn't see Nichole but he was facing her so he could see everything.

Me and Belle left them alone because it was getting awkward. We found some free deck chairs and put our towels and bags down to save them. Eventually everyone started to join us, Harry and Nicole were last out.

Everyone wanted to go on different things so we split up and decided to meet back at the chairs in three hours. Zayn wanted to go on a slide that no one else did so I said I would go with him. The other boys had already ran off. Some of the girls were going to the bubble pool and Belle was going with them. 

Just as she was about to run off too I pulled her arm gently so she moved closer to me. As she turned around I stepped forward and I could feel her warm smooth stomach push against mine. I could feel her breathing. I could feel her skin against mine.

I put my arms around her middle and everything felt perfect. I felt her arms move up my body and rest on my shoulders. I leaned forward and whispered in her ear "meet me here in an hour". I looked back at her and winked. She giggled, looked down then nodded her head.

I felt someone pull my arm from behind me. It was Zayn. I let go of Belle and her arms slided down mine as she pulled away to meet up with the rest of the girls. I followed Zayn, I looked back to see Belle one more time, but she was already gone.

Authors Note: Heeeey sorry this one took ages to write, I don't know why, it wasn't even that long and it's not very good it was just a filler chapter. I seriously didn't know what to write for this one so sorry it's really crap. I hope you still enjoyed it, especially the bit at the end with Niall and Belle :D

Let me know what you think so far, and tell me what you think will happen next! The next chapter will definitely be done before the weekend      lucy (:
