I Will Always Love You - A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Thirty

*Charlotte' POV continued*

"Niall. Niall, wake up," I sit up and shake Niall, who is already asleep.

I keep my eyes on the person in the backyard, who is walking over to a shed I didn't know we had.

"What's wrong?" Niall yawns.

"There is someone in the backyard."

He sits up completely now, and is wide awake.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Look." I point to the figure at the shed.

Niall gets out of bed as fast as he can and I follow him to Louis' room.

"Louis, there is someone in the backyard. Wake up!" we pull his ears.

"What?" he sits up, angrily.

"There is someone in the backyard." I whisper-shout.

"Don't play games with me. Are you serious?"

"We are!"

"Ok, ok. Let's go get Zayn." he says.

So we get Zayn and Zayn says he will wake everyone else up, while Louis, me and Niall grab a weapon each. Niall and Louis grab baseball bats and I get a tennis racket.

We grab a few other weapons and wait for the others to come down.

Within a few minutes, Zayn, Harry, Liam, Daniel and Katie are down.

"Where are the others?" I ask.

"We didn't want to wake them, but Katie was already awake." Zayn replies.

I hand them each a weapon and we sneak outside.

That's how scared we are - that we need most of us for this.

We head to the shed and slowly walk in, with Liam in the lead.

Niall help my hand so tight it was going numb.

Liam quickly turns on the light, while everyone else has their weapons ready.

When we can see clearly we relax.

"Aedan, what the fuck are you doing here? Why are you in Australia?" I ask.

"Sorry, I couldn't stay away from you. So I followed you guys onto the plane, and have been staying here." he replies.

He has a sleeping bag set up with some food and drinks around the place.

"Seriously, why can't you get that I don't love you?" I spit.

"Because I know you do."

"Just leave!" Niall shouts.

"Niall, calm down." I whisper.

"No, I love her, and there is nothing you can do!" he shouts back.

"Oh, my god, Aedan! I don't love you, ok? I love Niall. I have friends here who are scared shitless because of you! Why don't you understand that nothing you say or do can make me love you?"

"I don't get it." he cries.

I roll my eyes and step closer to him, while holding Niall behind me, "What part don't you get, Aedan? The part where you're a dick?" I spit. "Or the part where I'm in love with someone else. Someone who can tell me they love me and mean it. Someone who hasn't cheated on me. Someone who I have been bestfriends with since I was born. Someone who has loved me for me. Aedan, I love Niall. I always have. He isn't like other guys, and he is certainly not like you!"

"Well, why don't you get that I love you?"

"If you loved me you wouldn't have cheated on me three times. Niall was there for me when you cheated on me. Niall was the one who caught every tear. Niall was the one who kept telling me not to go back to you. Niall was the one who told you to leave me alone. Niall IS the one. Aedan, if you really love me, you would leave me alone."

"I don't see loverboy here defending you." Aedan says.

"That's because I'm gripping his hand so hard that he knows not to move. I don't want a fight." My accent gets stronger as I get angrier.

"Awww, are you afraid that I might hurt your boyfriend here?" he pouts, sarcastically.

"Actually, I'm more concerned of what he might do to you. Just go away, Aedan. Or I'll call the cops."

Then he turns sour, "Fine! I don't need you, bitch!"

He pushes me to the ground and at that point, Niall must have built up enough rage to tackle Aedan to the ground, and they get into a massive fight.

"Aedan! Niall! Stop!" I try to stop it, but I just get shoved to the ground again.

The boys jump in and eventually break them apart.

Niall's lip is bleeding and his eyebrow is split open. His left eye is already bruising from the punch he received from Aedan after Niall tackled him. I don't even pay attention to Aedan to notice what has happened to him.

"Aedan! Leave now! Or I swear I will call the police!" I yell at him.

"Bu-" I cut him off.

"Just go! You've done enough!"

He doesn't say anything else as he picks his wallet, keys and phone up and leaves.

"Liam, Zayn, go make sure he leaves, please." I say, gripping Niall's arms.

Liam and Zayn walk out and the rest of us go back to the house.

"Daniel, can you get me an icepack? Harry, please get me the first aid kit." I order and they do as they are told.

"I'm fine." Niall says.

"No, you're not. Sit on the bench." I reply.

He does so and Daniel and Harry come back with the ice pack and first aid kit.

I start cleaning his lip.

"So, did you really mean all those things about me?" He says softly in between winces while I stitch his eyebrow.

"Of course. Niall, I love you. I always have, I always will. You're my everything."

He kisses me, but pulls away because the kiss hurts his busted lips.

I finish stiching his eyebrow, then we all go up to bed.

I softly kiss Niall once more, before falling asleep in his arms.
