Fall (ON HOLD)

Chapter Nine

NORA'S P.O.V**

I came home this morning, with Niall wrapped around my waist. I ignored my mother as we went up stairs. I knew she'd freak.

"Nora. We might want to tell your mum." Niall whispered in my ear.

"I will. When I take you to my room. I want to talk to her alone." Niall smiled as we entered my room.

"Chic.." He muttered.

My walls were a light purple, there was the phrase, "Stay Strong", over my bed. It felt a little girly, but I'll do whatever it takes to remind myself.

"Nora Marie!" My mother pounded her feet up the stairs. Niall kissed me on the cheek for luck.

"I'm coming mom." I walked out of my room, my mom had her arms crossed on her chest.

"Nora. Who the in the hell is that." My mother stared at me, hoping for an answer.

"A friend." I muttered.

"I'm sure you two did a little more than sleeping lat night, right?" My mom got close to my face.

"All we did is sleep.."

"Your a liar, Nora. I know when my daughter is lying." My mother slammed her hand on the stairs railing.

"I'm leaving here. I can't be trusted, my dad doesn't even know my name, and Natalie gets special treatment. See you in a few weeks." I turned around and headed through my door, I closed it shut and heard my mom say, "If your leaving don't come back!"

I slid down the door and buried my face in my hands.

"Love.." Niall kneeled beside me.

"She doesn't care. I'm leaving." Niall stood up and gestured his hand out. I grabbed his hand as he winked at me.

"What?" I laughed.

"Lacey.. And pink. Why have I never seen these?" Niall held up a pair of underwear.

"Niall! It's because you haven't gotten lucky." I snatched the underwear from him, and stuffed it into a blue duffle bag. Niall helped me pack, but of course I had to re pack a few things.. He decided to only pack Lacey underwear and dresses. He wasn't much help.

"Hey. Put that back." Niall opened my journal.

"Niall! Stop." I jumped on top of him, straddling his arms back so I could grab the journal.

Before I could do anything, Niall flipped me over, now on top of me.

"C'mon babe, I'm just a bit stronger than you." Niall kissed me on my nose, flipping over me.

"So, where are you staying, love?" Niall asked.

"I haven't talked to Jade since last night.. She's probably with that guy.. I don't know." I guess I hadn't thought about that yet.

"Well.. Urm.. I.. I have a flat here.. I live alone, I wouldn't mind having another person." Niall scratched the back of his ear, sighing.

I have no other choice.

NIALLS P.O.V**

I knew I was taking a chance asking Nora to live with me, but she had no where else to go, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want her to.

"Are you okay with it? Because I can stay at Jade's it's no problem really," She uttered.

"N-No, I want you to move in, really," I said.

"Yeah, that'd be great then," She said cracking a smile.

"C'mon then, I'm sure you want to go check on Jade," I replied grabbing her duffle bag in my left hand.

She smiled at me before she grabbed her coat. I followed her down the staircase to the front door where her mother was waiting. Nora saw her standing and she grasped my hand, I gave her a reassuring squeeze.

"I see you chose to leave," She said showing no emotion.

"Yes, and by the way this is Niall, but you didn't care enough to listen," Nora replied coldly. I could feel the tension by just being there.

"Well, I made myself clear when I said I don't want to see you back," She replied her icy glare staring at me.

"Don't worry, I won't," Nora said before she pulled my hand and lead me out the door.

I hopped into the driver's seat of my car, throwing her duffle into the back seat. Nora climbed into the passenger seat, buckling her seat belt. I started the car and backed out of the driveway.

"I'm sorry, about your family Nora," I said looking across to her.

"Don't be, it's not anything I'm used to, to be honest, it was just a matter of time before I moved out," She said warmly, I reached out my left hand and intertwined it with her small one.

We arrived at my flat, and I jumped out of the car and rushed over to Nora's, opening her door.

"Thanks," She blushed grabbing her bag.

I lead her into my flat, opening my front door with my key. I shoved my door open, and waited for Nora to come in.

"I'm sorry there's only one room, so I'll take the couch," I said awkwardly shoving my hand in my pockets.

"No, I can share with you if you don't mind," She said shyly. I nodded at her suggestion hoping shed pitch the idea.

"I'll show you upstairs then," I said gesturing to the stairs in from of me. She followed me upstairs and into my bedroom. I took her bag from her and set it on my queen sized bed.

"You can go check on Jade, I'll unpack for you," I offered.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Jade can wait," She said.

"No, she could be in trouble for all you know, just go, I'll be fine," I replied.

"I think there's more to this considering my undergarments are in there," I said.

"Yeah that too, but I'm going to end up seeing them sooner or later," I said cheekily flashing her a grin.

"You know, all this cockiness can get you into trouble some day," I said crossing my arms.

"You know you want it babe," I said flexing my muscles. She laughed at my attempt to impress her.

"I'm leaving now," She said walking out the door.

Once she was out, I opened her duffle bag, picking out a lacy black bra. Living with her would be fun I could just tell. I tried to keep the dirty thoughts out if my mind, while unpacking the rest of her clothes.
