Niall's Pov:
How can Zayn be so patient with me? I've never understood it. I've been pushing him away and making him feel like I don't want him around but I do, I'm just scared. I finally thought things were looking up, I finally thought that I'd get back on track. I knew eventually I'd have to see my dad, But I suppose I didn't think it would be so soon. I know he's where he needs to be and I know he's going to get better, At least I hope. Today I'm going to see him, He's going to be sober and we can talk, I didn't want to go alone so I asked Zayn if he could come with me, He agreed straight away and I couldn't be more grateful. I began brushing my teeth as the bathroom door was opened, Zayn poked his head around the door asking if he could come in, I agreed instantly, He smiled as he walked in shutting the door behind him, I then felt his arms wrap around my waist as he leaned his head into the crook of my neck, I sighed happily as Zayn placed a gentle kiss to my collar bone.
"Your beautiful you know that?" Zayn asked causing me to chuckle.
"No I'm not I'm plain" I mumbled, Zayn shook his head.
"No, Your a natural breathtaking beauty that I'm lucky to have" Zayn stated, I smiled before blushing.
"No I'm lucky to have you, You've been my strength Zi, I couldn't and wouldn't be getting through all this if it wasn't for you, Your standing by me and that's making me stand tall and strong" I exclaimed, Zayn smiled.
"You were always strong Ni, You just forgot it for a while" Zayn said, I smiled before leaning forward I then placed a kiss to his lips. "I love you Ni" Zayn whispered as he held me close to him, I closed my eyes smiling.
"I love you too Zi"
I felt like I couldn't breathe, I was getting so close to seeing him, I wasn't sure what was going to happen, What was going to be said, But having Zayn beside me was giving me the strength I needed to do it. Cher had texted me a few times letting me know she was there for me, And when I got back she was going to treat me to whatever I wanted at Nandos, Without both there support I don't know what I'd do. I took a deep breath before taking hold of Zayn's hand as we walked into the reception, A lady was taking us to where my dad was, My heart was beating like crazy. Zayn he could sense my fear so he placed an arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to him, I smiled slightly knowing it would be ok because Zayn was here.
"You ready?" Zayn asked as we stopped infront of a door, I took a deep breath before nodding my head, Zayn then grabbed hold of the handle and opened the door, Sat in the corner with a book was my dad, He looked up and smiled instantly the moment he saw me, He quickly placed the book down before making his way over to me with his arms open, I wanted to hug him I really did but I got afraid so I quickly moved back gripping hold of Zayn tighter, I could see the hurt in my dads eyes.
"Niall I- I wasn't going to"
"I know" I replied before lowering my head.
"Niall your my son, I'm so sorry for what I did, I never wanted to hurt you, It was the drink it wasn't me, I'd never touch you" My dad chocked out, I closed my eyes trying not to let my tears fall.
"But you did, You did hurt me, You should have never turned to drink in the first place, And you can't promise me it will never happen again, What's gonna happen when you do drink dad? Are you gonna hurt me again?" I exclaimed.
"No, Niall I'm getting help" He replied.
"But I'm still scared, I'm afraid of you!" I half yelled finally letting my tears fall, I felt a pair of strong arms around me and I knew instantly that they belonged to Zayn, I gripped hold of him tightly.
"You two are friends again?" My dad asked, I felt Zayn nod his head.
"Boyfriends actually" I mumbled, I felt Zayn squeeze me a little tighter.
"Oh, Well that's brilliant, Erm Zayn can you leave me with my son for a while?" My dad asked, I instantly began shaking my head.
"No, I want him to stay" I stated.
"I'm not going anywhere not if Niall dosen't want me to" Zayn replied.
"I'm not going to hurt him"
"No you already did that, How can you look at him now and not remember anything you did, You only know that you hurt him because it's what you got told, You don't have to live with the reminder everyday Niall does, You don't wake up in the middle of the night sweating and crying because of a nightmare, You should have loved him not hurt him!" Zayn stated.
"I was drunk!" My dad half yelled.
"That's no excuse to ever hurt somebody least of all your own son! Niall needed you he was grieving it wasn't just you who lost Maura it was Niall too!" Zayn exclaimed, I shut my eyes before holding onto Zayn tighter. "Look at him he's afraid of you" Zayn whispered.
"I'm getting the help I need so we can be a family again Niall" My dad said, I sighed before turning around.
"I know, And I love you for trying, But I'll never forget what you did not straight away, You can't just expect me to forget everything because your getting help, I'ts not going to happen over night, For now I want to stay with Zayn and his mum until I'm ready" I stated.
"Can he stay with you?" My dad asked.
"For as long as he needs" Zayn replied.
"We'll take it one step at a time dad, I'll come and see you soon"
I knew today would be hard but I had no idea how much of me it would take, After the heated talk with my dad we sat down and actually had a civilized conversation, He told me about the anger management and the support with his drinking, He's really trying and he's really sorry I can see it in his eyes, But I'm still a little bit afraid, If it wasn't for Zayn I wouldn't have gone today, I have so much to thank him for, I smiled as I cuddled closer to Zayn's body later that night.
"Thank you" I whispered.
"What for?" Zayn asked.
"Coming with me today, It means alot" I replied, Zayn chuckled a little before gently stroking up and down my arm.
"I told you I'm here, I have alot of making up to do and I know that" Zayn stated, I smiled before looking up at him.
"I think you've made it up to me enough, You saved me" I whispered before placing a gentle kiss to Zayn's lips, He smiled before running his fingers through my hair, I really am falling inlove with Zayn.
