Tell Me A Secret

Chapter 7: Betrayal

Niall picks me up from school at 3 and he still was a little upset about earlier, but he shouldn't be. It completely was on him not me. We start to drive home and I am so exhausted. I really didn't sleep well last night with my dream and Niall. A lot happened last night, plus I feel like Niall is getting a little to close to me. We cuddled last night.

"Hey I found a way to our problems" Niall says interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah what is it"

"I ordered some bracelets for us to wear so I know you are okay"

"Bracelets?" I say chuckling

"Stop, they are going to help us with this phone situation. The bracelets have a device on it that if you touch it, it sends a vibration to my bracelet. We are going to have a code so that I know it's actually you hitting the bracelet." He says putting his hand up on top of the steering wheel.

"Oh that sounds like it could work"

"They are supposed to come in tomorrow" Niall says smiling

I think this bracelet thing could actually work, now I don't have to worry about my phone going off in class. And Niall being pissy about this whole situation.

We pull into the driveway and I start to unbuckle my seatbelt to get out. I go to reach for the door but the car door is still locked. What the hell.

"Niall can you please unlock the door" I say looking over at him. I am so annoyed right now he needs to open the door so I can go in my room.

"Nope" he says while sliding his door open and getting out of the car.

How can he be so rude, like what is he trying to do, lock me in this car? He needs to stop today because truly he is getting way too annoying, maybe it's just me.

He comes around to my side of the door and I am huffing and puffing and he notices. He stands there for a second and then he opens the door.

"I was trying to be nice for once and awhile and I see you are all worked up about it. It isn't that deep Avery" he says reaching down for my hand

I sigh and ignore his comment and say "Thank you Niall"

We both start walking to the door and I grab my keys out of my backpack to unlock the door. As soon as I get inside the house I rush up to my bedroom, I need some alone time. Plus I want to try and take a nap or a shower. I go into my closet and grab a pair of black leggings and an oversized off the shoulder sweater, god I can't wait to get out of this uniform. I put the clothes on and go over to my bed and lay down in it.

I always like to lay down and let my thoughts become louder and louder. I'm really starting to grow on Niall, sometimes he's mean but most of the time he is nice. He always helps me when I get up from sitting and opens and shuts the doors for me. He is taking this body guard job very seriously, he had to drive about 20 minutes to get to the school, just because he thought that I was in trouble. I want to know more about him, he just won't let me see his soft side. God why does he have to be so stubborn. My dad is gone tonight and usually he rarely stays until this late in the night. He is typically home around 4 pm, but now who knows when he'll be here. I just think it is a little weird but it is probably an important business meeting.

I just wish my mom was here, she was always one step ahead of me and my dad. She would never leave me with a body guard, she wouldn't have trusted Niall. My mom hated the extra security like my dad loves. She thought that it was so stupid because why can't you fight for your own self. She was an impowered woman and I hope one day I am just the same. I can't believe she died that young, cancer is the root of all evil. I never got to see her final moments because my dad didn't want me to remember her like she was. I still hold a grudge with my dad for doing that to me. Things would be a lot different if she was here.
