An Angel Named Niall

Chapter 21

JULIETS POV

Niall now knew about the miscarriage. I was happy and felt safe with him around. I was glad he didn't look down at me. I was happy he didn't call me a slut. I was happy he didn't tell me the words he told me in that nightmare I had. I especially was happy because he stayed by me. 

I was still iffy about it all. Niall just knew a small bit of what was happening. He didn't know about what Matt did to me, about me lying about school, about getting drunk, about doing drugs. None of that. It scared me to think what he would say then if he were to find out.  

Niall and I sat on the couch, watching Just Go With It. He was paying lots of attention to it and laughing at the funny parts. I faked laughed at times. My mind was somewhere else. 

I had the most sweetest guy in the world right next to me. And I just couldn't keep myself sane. I felt like I was going crazy. I didn't want Niall to look at me the bad way. 

I kept getting text messages from Matt. Niall didn't seem to be paying attention to it. He was really enjoying the movie and I was glad he was. When he laughed, it made my heart bloom. 

I tried put my phone on silent and tried ignoring Matt's text messages. He continued. 

 I felt the need of going for a smoke, of just getting high on something. I felt like I needed it to make me relax, and, well, of course that's why I used it. 

NIALLS POV

This movie was so great. It had been a while that I had sit and watched a movie. I noticed Juliet wasn't all that into it. Further in, I noticed her look at her phone a lot. 

She would make irritating faces but I pretended not to notice. I really wanted to know what was making her that way. 

She got up to go to the bathroom and left her phone. 

I looked at the phone for a good 30 seconds and grabbed it. 

I was never the type to do those types of things. Go through a girls stuff but something just told me to look. 

The text message was from a Matt. I really hesitated looking at it. She had quite a few from him. 

I screwed it all and opened the message. 

"Juliet answer me!"

"We need to talk"

"Stop being a bitch and reply"

"that baby you were carrying was mine, like it or not"

"im gonna go to your house if you dont reply"

"What are you doing?" I looked up and Juliet was standing right there. I was caught in the act. I had no words. She looked a bit angry. 

"I, um, I.."

"What gives you the right to go through my stuff?"

"Who's Matt?" I wasn't going to beat around the bush. I wanted to know why this guy was harrassing her like that. 

"Why do you care?" she grabbed her phone and looked through it quickly. I had no idea what she could've possible been doing. I stood up. 

"Well for one, this guy seems to be harrassing you and I don't think it's fine that he calls you a bitch"

She stayed quiet, looking at the coffee table they had. She knew I was right. 

"Juliet, was he going to be the dad?" 

She brought her hand to her mouth. Almost biting it. And she had tears in her eyes. This guy was definitely doing something to make her like that. 

"Juliet?" I crouched down to get to her level and looked into her eyes. She let the tears out and sat ont he couch. 

"He raped me, okay? There I said it. Is that what you wanted to know?" She had her hands over her eyes. 

Juliet was raped. I was in shock. I didn't know what to tell her. I had no words. I just looked at the fragile girl crying her eyes out. 

I did what I thought was good and sat next to her and hugged her. 

This time she hugged me tightly. She buried her face into my chest. 

I didn't say a single word. I just let her cry it out. Mother always told me to let it all out. 

She sat straight up and sobbed. 

"I'm sorry," she said wiping her tears. 

"Don't be. You need to do something about this. Tell the police, your grandma."

"No! I can not do that. Nothing. No one must know. Niall promise me!"

"We can't let him continue doing this to you. You need to stop it."

"No, it won't ever happen. He'll harrass me even more if I tell the cops." 

She wasn't crying so much but I just wanted to take her away form everything. I saw that pain and anger in her eyes. The puffiness brought out her color a lot. 

She began crying as if she had gotten a vivid picture of what happened. 

"Juliet, I'm here for you with whatever you need. I'll keep the promise but you will have to tell your grandma and the police eventually. You can't keep letting this guy do this to you." 

She just cried and sobbed. I just wrapped my arms around her. She was shivering and I hugged tighter. 

Her grandma came in and was shocked to see Juliet crying. Juliet rubbed her eyes hard, trying to get rid of her teary eyes. 

"She was telling me about her losing the baby. She got a bit emotional." I put my arm around her. Juliet looked at me in shock and quickly continued the game. 

"Yeah, it's nothing grandma. It just really got to me." 

Her grandma didn't look so convinced but she just went over to Juliet and gave her a big hug. 

"Honey, you can cry to me anytime you want. I'm here and it'll all be over soon." Juliet looked at me and smiled. 

"And hello to you, handsome. How are you? Juliet told me you were home."

"I was but I decided to take a litle vacation here and see Juliet. How are you?"

"I'm doing well, aside from what's happened. but we're all well in health and blessed to have this home."

Her grandma had such a positive way of looking at things. I really wanted Juliet to tell her. That's what Juliet needed. But juliet didn't see what was standing in front of her. 

i had completely forgotten about Gregg. He must've been really bored. I left Juliets house before it became night. She looked a bit better and I told her I would be back tomorrow.
