Zayn's Pov:

Todays the day, Today is the day I've been dreading for weeks and weeks. Niall's dad has finally been given the all clear to return home, He still has to attend anger management classes and support groups for his drinking but he's aloud to return home, Which means Niall can move back in with him. Niall he seems happy enough about it, I can see it in his eyes, Niall seems ready to forget the past and try to move on but I can't, I can't forget what happened to him, I hate the idea of him going back to that house, Where he was hurt, Where he was made to feel like he was alone. I don't want Niall to leave but I'm not going to force him to stay with me, I'm just scared that he's going to get hurt again and I won't be there to protect him or hold him, I'm afraid of waking up one morning only to be told that Niall's in hospital, Then being told it's to late to save him, That has been my worst nightmare for the past few weeks, I dreamt of Niall returning home, Everything seemed fine, But he was hiding behind a smile again, Nobody could see past it because he just got so good at hiding his pain away, Then one night his dad relapsed and hurt Niall again to the point where he ended up in hospital, When morning came and I found out it was to late, And Niall was gone. I know it was just a dream but it still dosen't take the fear away, Why isin't he afraid by any right he should be, This happened to Niall and not me, But I'm more afraid of him returning home then he is. I sighed as I watched Niall pack away his stuff.

"Niall you don't have to go you know, If your not ready" I exclaimed, Niall chuckled.

"I know, But I am ready, He's trying Zayn so I have to aswell" Niall replied as he folded up one of his shirts.

"Niall sweetheart are you ready?" My mum asked as she walked into the room, Niall nodded his head.

"Yeah, I just have a few more things to pack" Niall replied.

"Well your dad called and he's on his way here" My mum informed us, Niall nodded his head.

"Trisha thank you for everything, For taking me in and looking after me when I needed it" Niall exclaimed.

"I promised your mum I'd look out for you, She would be so proud of you Niall" She stated as she smiled at Niall, Niall returned it before quickly zipping up his bag.

"I'll erm take this down for you" I spoke up before taking Niall's bag from his hand, I then walked out the room, I don't know if I can say goodbye. 

Time was passing by so quickly, It was as if the minutes had turned to seconds with just the click of a finger, Each moment that passed I was closer and closer to having to say goodbye to Niall. Maybe I'm overreacting, Yeah I'm going to see him again but he's going back to the person who used to abuse him, I seem to be the only one who actually remembers that! Cher had stopped round to see Niall off to, The same look of fear that was in my eyes was also in hers, She was scared for Niall to, But she was expressing it alot more then I was, I couldn't be weak, I had to be strong for Niall and support the decisions he makes even when I don't agree with them. 

"You better call me every night and let me know your ok!" Cher stated, Niall chuckled.

"I will Cher" He replied.

"No matter what the time is if you need me then call me!" Cher exclaimed, Niall nodded his head.

"I'll be ok" He exclaimed, Cher nodded her head before pulling Niall into a tight hug.

"I know you will" She whispered as a small tear rolled down her cheek, I took a deep breath trying to control my emotions, I can't do it, I can't watch Niall drive away. 

"You take care of yourself, And if you need anything you know where I am" My mum said as she pulled Nial into a hug, Niall nodded his head.

"Thank you for everything" He whispered before pulling away, Niall then turned his attention to me.

"Son are you ready?" Niall's dad asked as he stood beside the car, Niall shook his head.

"Five more minutes?" Niall asked, His dad nodded his head before walking over to speak with my mum. "So" Niall whispered, I closed my eyes taking a deep breath.

"Don't go" I mumbled as I pulled Niall against my chest, Niall sighed.

"He's my dad he's done everything I've asked of him, I have to give him a chance" Niall stated.

"But what if you get hurt again?" I exclaimed.

"Then I've learnt my lesson but I'll never know unless I try, I have to be strong you taught me that Zi, You taught me to take the risks because I'll never know unless I do try, That's why I have to do this and you have to let me" Niall replied, I sighed before lowering my head.

"Promise me you'll call and let me know your ok?" I pleaded, Niall nodded his head.

"Of course I will" Niall promised before placing a gentle kiss to my neck.

"I love you Niall" I exclaimed as I held onto Niall tighter.

"I love you too Zi" Niall replied before pulling me into a passionate kiss, Shivers ran down my spine as I pulled Niall closer to me, The second we pulled away Niall gave me a small smile before walking towards the car, Before climbing in he looked back and waved at me before climbing in, As the car engine started up Cher made her way over to me, She placed her arm on my shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze, I closed my eyes as Niall's dad reversed out the drive way he then took off down the road taking Niall with him. 

"He'll be ok" Cher whispered.

"He better be"
