Stay With Me (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 4: Touching Base

Hey guys, 

This chapter starts to show some of Violet's eating disorder and I also had to throw in some of the boy's career information since I want to keep this as realistic as possible. I really hope you guys like, this is a short one, but I promise the next one will be longer. <3

*Paul’s POV*

            I finally got all of the boys and Violet back to the hotel where I wanted them. I had made the exception to go out because Violet stood up for herself. Now I had to feed them all then send them off to their own rooms.

“I pre-ordered some pizzas, so we can go straight to the conference room” I told them all before they got out of the van.

“Woo! Food!” Niall cheered and ran out the car.

            The other boys chased after him and only Violet and I remained in the car. I turned to face her; she remained frozen in her seat.

“What’s wrong?” I asked her worriedly.

“Do I have to eat? Pizza has a lot of calories” she fidgeted with her fingers.

“Either that or you knock back an ensure” at the mention of that she looked up at me questionably.

“A what?”

“A protein shake, it replaces a meal; it has just as many calories”

            Her eyes narrowed and if looks could kill, I swear I would be dead right now.

“Fuck this shit” she mumbled and jumped out the van to most likely find the boys.

            I chuckled to myself and followed her. Tomorrow I would be taking her to see my wife for her first official appointment. That is where we would sort things out about the meal plan she will have to follow.

“That was totally my slice” Harry cried in protest.

            It was the first thing I heard when I walked into the conference room. Niall was waving around a slice of pizza, away from Harry’s reach.  While Harry tried to take it from him, and let me tell you that Niall is much shorter than he is and was still managing to cause him some trouble. Violet stood close by and she was doubled over in a fit of giggles. At least the boys managed to cheer her up, take her out of that dark place in her head; even if just for a little while. I still had the vivid image of her wounds in my mind, and I wanted nothing more than to help her stop relying on a blade.

“Niall, you already have four slices on your plate. Give that one back to Harry” I told him sternly.

            Niall pouted, but handed Harry the floppy looking slice.

“Stupid leprechaun” Harry grumbled then bit into the slice.

“You want a slice?” Niall asked Violet.

            I saw her eyes go wide and she quickly shook her head. So she settled with sitting down next to Niall. The two seemed to be getting along. For It being her first day with us.

“All right guys, as soon as you are finished eating, head up to your rooms. You guys have another interview tomorrow on a talk show, so get your rest” I announced then went to order a light meal for Violet; I would just send it up to her room.

*Violet’s POV*

            It felt very strange to enjoy being around so many people. Usually I would be paranoid, but with these boys, I didn’t feel judged. They had welcomed me with open arms and I liked that. Especially Niall, something about him just screamed adorable teddy bear, and I had the impulse to get closer to him. I was now up in my room after getting taken out by the boys and then enduring dinner with them. I had fun, something fairly new to me.
