Chapter 20

Niall's POV:

I woke up feeling movement in the bed. I see Skylar fidgeting around seeming like she's anxious but she's still asleep. I hear her start to mumble as her head moves back and forth. I can't quite make out her mumbles. I think she's having a nightmare.

"STELLA!" Skylar fully yells sitting straight up in the bed. She's breathing heavily and her hands are shaking. I wrap my hands around hers and hold onto them.

"Hey, hey what happened?" I ask wondering what has her so jittery.

"What?" She breathes out shaking her head. She pulls her hands out from mine and places her hands on her head.

"You were having a nightmare." I say watching her unsteady breathing. I don't know what she saw but it has her worked up. Before she responds banging starts at the door downstairs.

Her phones starts to ring and she reaches over grabbing it. She takes one look at who's calling and hands me the phone. By the look on her face I can tell she doesn't want to talk to him right now. She shakes her head at me and I nod laying the phone down.

As I try to get up to go to the door Sky grabs my arm eyes full of pain and sadness.

"Please don't go." She mumbles gripping onto my arm.

"I'll only be a second I promise." I say slipping my arm away from her.

I storm downstairs knowing exactly who is on the other side. The banging continues and I roll my eyes with a groan. Once I open the door Harry is standing on the other side. Fantastic. Just the man I wanted to see.

Harry instantly tries to storm into the house until I step in front of him blocking his way inside.

"She doesn't wanna talk to you mate." I sternly say keeping my hands in the doorway to where he can't get through.

"Stay in your lane bro, she's my best friend." He says trying to step through but I move in front of him again. I shake my head and send him a glare. I'm pissed off and Skylar doesn't want to see him right now.

"Respect her space Styles. I won't tell you again. She's hurting because of you. When she wants to talk to you she'll let you know." With that I close the door in his face locking it.

I turn around to see Skylar standing at the end of the stairs with a blanket from my bed wrapped around her. Her eyes are glossy and it pains my heart.

"Thank you, but you don't even know what's going on." She whispers in the most gentle voice. I shrug not needing to know unless she truly wanted me to.

"You never asked questions when you defended me in front of Ashlyn. It's only fair that I have your back now. Don't let anyone wilt your petals Sky." I walk up to her and she lets out a deep breath. It almost looks like she's about to cry.

She looks at me and sighs before speaking.

"I have to see him eventually. I need to go home. I don't even have clothes here." She says looking down at the outfit she wore last night. I laugh and reach my hand up tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Lucky for you, I have sweatshirts and boxers upstairs that are screaming your name. Kiara can also get you some clothes and drop them off here roomie." I say and Skylar's eyes nearly pop out of her head.
