Reckless -Niall Horan FanFic

Chapter 7

I looked at the clock, it read 1:17am. I couldn’t sleep, thoughts of Niall continuously floated in and out of my head. I lifted myself off of the bed and walked around my new room. I looked at the scenic pictures that were mounted on the pale yellow walls. The room was softly lit by my bedside lamp. Only five more months until I can be on my own, I thought. I couldn’t decide whether or not to take the job with Niall, It just seems like too much. I forgot to ask how much it paid, and when the job started. I decided to text him.

Me: Heyy… so i was thinking about the job offer and I still dunno. Do you know how much it’ll pay? and when does it all start?

I waited, and waited, but no response. I soon realized it was 1:30am, so I decided to take a walk around the area. I loved walking around at night, I never was scared of the dark. Everything scary always happened in the daylight for me. I carried pepper spray on me at all times, mostly to ward off drunken bums trying to get with me. No one has ever harmed me on one of my late night walks, I find it oddly compelling.

I walked and walked, hands shoved in the pockets of my worn out hoodie. I let the time slip by, and let my feet take me wherever. I knew I would find my way home sometime. I checked the clock on my phone, 3:34am. I’d been walking for two hours, and had no idea what neighborhood I was in.

I turned the corner, and began to except that I had no idea where I was. Yet something caught my eye, a tree. A tree that had branches forming a step ladder up to a familiar rooftop. It was the house. The house owned by the man with three bathrooms, a full pantry, and a thick Irish accent. The house where I escaped to. The house that I called my safe haven.

I ran to the tree, I missed it’s fresh scent. I reached for one branch at a time, until I finally made it to the roof. I tip-toed to the window that I’ve climbed in and out of hundreds of times. I crept into the bathroom, hoping no one was home as usual. I pressed my ear against the door of the bathroom. Who was I kidding, if anyone was here they’d be asleep.

I opened the door, hoping it wouldn’t creek. The door slid right open as I gulped down every last bit of saliva left in my parched mouth. A trail of dried blood lined the hardwood floor. My curiosity gets the best of me and I follow the rust colored substance to another bathroom.

“Fucking idiot!” I hear someone shout through their teeth behind the bathroom door. I stood frozen in my place in the middle of a hallway, only a few feet from the room containing a very angry man. A loud bang comes after the obscene words, then the sound of a shattered mirror. I ran as fast and as quietly as I could to the other bathroom. I started to shut the door slowly, so it wouldn’t make any noise. It was only an inch from being completely closed, when the man burst through the other bathroom’s door. The abrupt noise startled me and I slammed the rest of the door shut.

“Who’s there!” a deep, irish accented voice filled the air.

“Shit, shit, shit,” I mumbled to myself as I was climbing out the window. I heard footsteps coming once I landed on the roof, I had no time to shut the window so I hopped onto the tree as fast as I could. I made a silently get away.

I attempted to make my way home, but I found myself walking the empty streets of Melbourne instead. I felt a small vibration in my hoodie pocket, I opened my phone and I couldn’t help but wear a smile on my face as I saw the name.

Nialler xx: We don’t go on tour until February, but we’re gonna play a few gigs for some events or something.. and idk maybe like $500k for the tour? That’s just my guess it depends how good you are;)

$500k… I was speechless.

Me: That’s insane!!!!! I’d love to… I still can’t believe this

Nialler xx: well believe it:)

I toss my phone back into the pocket of my hoodie. I was so overwhelmed, it was happening so fast, too fast. I didn’t even know Niall, he could of been a wanted criminal for all I knew. But in life, sometimes you need to know when to take a risk, and when to stop. For the sake of my future, I needed to take the risk.
