Taking the Wrong, But Right Risk (1D fanfic)

Chapter 4

*Chapter 4

Louis and the other boys still weren't back after an hour of waiting. Niall said they went to play football in the park, but they didn't want to leave me alone so he volunteered to stay with me. He said the boys won't be back for a couple of hours and that they were gonna eat after playing some football.

"Where's the bathroom? I you know, gotta go."

"Oh, I'll show you." Niall got up and turned around to help me up knowing I wasn't strong enough to support myself.

"Uhhh.. thanks." Gosh, why am I so awkward?! I wasn't like this five seconds ago... But it wasn't until now I got a good look at Niall. Man, he was gorgeous. His eyes, man you could just get lost in them. They reminded me of the ocean, so pretty and deep. And his hair that was brown at the roots fit him perfectly. I loved the way it changed into blonde. Don't even get me started on his arm that was firmly wrapped around my waist. It was strong. I could tell he was flexing because I could feel his bicep  around me. He slowly lead me to the bathroom. Once we got there he just stood by the door.

"I uhhh, I'll just uhh wait here."

"Umm, ok. I guess I'll be out in a minute." With that I went into the bathroom.

When I got into the bathroom, first I well, I went to the bathroom. Then I obviously went to wash my hands. When I finished washing my hands I looked up and saw myself in the mirror. I couldn't believe how broken those girls made me look. My right arm was in a sling. I had a black eye on the right side. I have a cut above my left eyebrow. I looked at my clothes. I was still wearing the same clothes as before, but this time I saw that I had blood on my shirt right in the middle like I had a bloody nose and I wasn't able to block it and it went all over my shirt. My sweatpants were dirty and my hair was just a mess. I heard Niall calling my name, but I couldn't get myself to answer. After a couple of minutes I heard the door open. By this time I had tears quietly streaming down my face and Niall noticed this right away despite my efforts of looking towards the ground and away from him. I could tell he didn't really know what to do so he turned me around and pulled me in for a hug. I felt bad for putting him in this situation. But, as cliche as this sounds, i felt safe in his arms. What the hell Charlie? Now is not the time for boys. Especially this boy. I thought to myslelf.

"It wasn't your fault. You didn't deserve it." He said as he buried his face into my neck like I had done seconds before.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"I'm mooching off you you guys. I can't do anything myself. You guys shouldn't have to take care of me. I'm sixteen years old, almost seventeen. I should be able to take care of myself. It's those girls' fault. They did this to me because they couldn't except that the fight wasn't rigged and I won fair and square."

"No you're not mooching off of us. We want to help you. Any friend of Louis is a friend of the rest of us. We don't have to take care of you, we want to." His voice instantly calmed me down. After a while of just standing there and hugging he started to talk again. "The boys should be home in an hour or two. Do you want to take a shower?"

"Um, yeah. But how am I gonna wash my hair?"

"I can wash it over the sink and then you can hop in the shower. While you're in the shower I can throw your clothes in the wash."

"Um, thanks." With that he grabbed shampoo and sat me down in front of the sink. He was very careful when he washed my hair. It was awkard at first, but it went by quick so it wasn't too big of a deal. Then he helped me take the sling off and turned on the shower for me. He turned around when I stripped and hopped in the shower. 

"I've got your clothes and I am gonna go put them in the wash. I've set out two towels for you."

"Thanks, Niall.. For everything."

*Niall's POV*

I couldn't explain anything about this girl. I barely knew her. But I did know that she was beautiful.  Her light brown hair that faded into blonde mesmarized me. Everytime I looked in her eyes and I got lost. Even though she had cuts on her face and a black eye she was still goregous. Part of me just wanted to spend time with her forever. But that was ridiculous. I had met her a day ago and she had been unconcious for most of the time we had spent together. And this wasn't going to happen between the two of us. She'd probably go for Zayn cause he is so smart or Harry because of his charms or Liam because he is a boxer, too. I had no chance with her.

I could tell that she was still in the shower, but she was getting done. She had been in there a while so she has to be getting ready to get out. Not all of her clothes were done, but luckily her undies and bra were. I pulled those out and went to my room to get some clothes for her to wear. She was smaller than me so I grabbed a blue shirt that was a little short on me and a small pair of boxers. As I was coming down the stairs and walking to the bathroom I saw her head pop out. She had her hair wrapped up in one of the towels.

"Don't worry, love. I got you some clothes. Not all of yours are done drying so I grabbed some of mine for you to wear." By this time I was standing in front of the door. She opened it and let me in the bathroom so I could set the clothes down. She was holding up  her towel with her good arm while the other one just hung by her side.

"Um.... do you think you help me get all dressed.. once I put my bra and underwear on though."

"Uhh, yeah. I'll just turn around and you tell me when it's safe to face you again." I said already turning around. I heard her towel drop and a minute or two later she told me I coud turn back around. I did and I walked over towards the boxers I brought for her to wear and she lifted her legs  and put them both in one at a time while her good hand rested on my shoulder. Once her legs were in I slid them up and made sure that they were all the way up. I couldn't help but notice how fit she was. Then I leaned over to grab the shirt. I carefully guided her bad arm through the hole and slipped it over her head. I quickly went over and grabbed the arm sling and gently put her arm in. I was trying to be as careful as possible. When I finished I looked straight into her eyes and said "There you go."

"Thanks." She said blushed a little when I did this. I don't know why she did, but it was cute.

"No problem. Do you want something to eat? I'm starving."

"Uh yeah sure."

We went to the kitchen where I made a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches. We were halfway through when I heard the boys coming up the the door. I looked over at Charlie and she looked kind of nervous. She probably could've puked, but she didn't because that would be an interesting story to explain to the boys.

"Don't worry. Harry, Zayn, and Liam are gonna love you! You already know Louis and I and we don't mind you. Everything is gonna be fine."

She just nodded in response and stared down at her grilled cheese that was almost gone and took a drink of milk.

Then the door opened and the other four boys walked in.
