Miley Horan

Chapter 9

"Zayn!"I screamed, unable to move my frozen body.

"Zayn!" My voice cracked, erupting into sobs.

I curled myself up into a ball, trying to fight off the overwhelming fear penatrating through me. Yes, laugh at me all you want- I had a nightmare. It felt so ihumanly real. Every detail, person, action and emotion felt as clear as day.

I dreamed my father came back, brutaly killing Niall before ny eyes, doing the same to my mother. I woke just as he was advancing twords me, threatning to rape me. I screamed Zayn's name once more before my bedroom door burst open.

"What's wrong?!" He gasped, coming over to inspect my body.

I reached out and pulled him into my bed, nuzziling myself as deeply inside of him.

"Protect me from him." I sobbed, as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Did you have a nightmare?" He soothed, running his fingers through my hair.

I nodded vigerously, trying my best to calm down the tears that were pouring down my cheeks.

"It's okay." He said in that same soothing voice.

My breath was shaky as the tears finally died down.

"Just go back to sleep." He reasured me, his arms not releasing me.

"Thank you." I mumered, keeping my head in the crook of his neck.

Zayn's hands ran up and down my spine, slowly making me more and more sleepy. He sang me quiet songs, until I finally drifted back off.

I rolled over to see Zayn still sleeping in the now morning sunlight.

"Goodmorning." He mumbled, his eyes fluttering open.

"I'm sorry." I muttered, playing with his hair.

"Don't apologize princess." He gave me a warm smile.

"I like that name." I grinned.

That was the front door! My eyes widened in horror, as Zayn's did the same.

"They're not supposed to be back until 3!" He panickly whispered.

"It's already noon though!" I repled, checking my phone.

"Get out, get out!" I whispered, pushing him out of my bed.

He scrambled up, bolting twords the door. Just moments after his body disapeared around my door frame, I heard footsteps up the stairs.

"Miley! We're home!" Niall yelled, walking into my room.

"Hey Niall!" I replied, getting out of bed.

"What'd you do last night?" He asked as I started searching through my wardrobe.

"Oh...nothing much." I shrugged my shoulders.

"So you guys just hung out here?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yup."

"You didn't...go out or anything?" He desperatly asked.

"God, Niall, no!" I rolled my eyes at him, putting my hair up.

"Sorry." He mumbled, leaving my room. I heard him enter Zayn's room just as I was finishing getting ready.

I walked down the stairs and greeted all the boys in the kitchen, except Zayn and Niall, they were still in Zayn's room.

"Hey Miley." Louis sing songed.
