"OW!" Niall yelled as I pressed a rag to his cuts. I just rolled my eyes and continued my work as Niall struggled under me.

"Niall! Stop moving or else I'm going to have to glue you down to the table!" I yelled. My cheeks were flushed and he could tell I wasn't messing around. I just rolled it off and finished my work by applying a gauss square and wrapping his cuts.

"Thanks." He said hopping down from the counter as I put the medical supplies away. I glared at him as I put the things under the counter in the cabinet. I was extremely mad at him for not telling me. I mean I'm his best friend he should be able to tell me anything right? Apparently that wasn't the case.

"Ok what'd I do now?" He asked while chuckling at the end.

"It's not funny Niall! I'm mad at you!" I stormed out of the bathroom with Niall following behind.

"Well would you like to tell my why you're mad at me?" I plopped down on the couch in the living room and he sat down next to me swinging his feet over my lap. My hands started playing with the extra fuzz hanging off of the top of his sock.

"You didn't tell me before." I mumbled. I didn't even know why I was so upset over this. He has the right not to tell me stuff. It's not like we're dating and he needs to tell me absolutely everything. Wait... Dating. Why did that come up? Oh well.

He sighed and sat up right to face me. "I couldn't risk anyone knowing about it. He'd kill me if I told anyone. Literally. I already told you. He'd find out Emilia and then after he was done with me he'd come after you. And even if he didn't he'd get pissed at me for telling anyone. Look, I love you to death but I couldn't have you tell one of your brothers or anyone else for that matter. They'd come after my dad. You know they would. Especially Tanner."

Ah. Tanner. He was my eldest brother. He was sort of protective around Niall. It was like Niall was his fourth brother. They literally did almost everything together. When Tanner was around he usually didn't let me hang out with Niall because he wanted him for himself. Selfish pain in the arse.

"Yeah I know. But I wouldn't have told anyone Niall. I can help you get out of that hell house. You can't just stay there forever." I looked into his eyes and I could see he was thinking.

"I don't know where I'd go. He's really the only family I have besides Greg. Hell, Greg hasn't been around since mom died. He's not even considered family anymore to me." Niall rolled his eyes and his cheeks were turning red.

"And right when I needed him the most. He just gets up and leaves us. He left me with that monster. He left me alone with him for ten years! Who the hell does that?!" Niall was getting really angry. His face was scrunched up and his eyebrows furrowed together. I had to say it was really funny to see him get this upset. I'm not used to it. Niall was always a calm and relaxed kind of guy. He never really got upset.

"Niall. I told you you could live with me and Harry." Harry was my cousin. He's been living with me for about 3 years now. He's a pretty cool guy to live with and I don't think he'd mind if Niall moved in with us. Niall was friends with Harry and they got along pretty well. It should be alright with him.

I could tell Niall was thinking about it. His hand rested in his chin as he looked off in the distance. I was really hoping he'd say yes. Living with your best friend would be so much fun and I know he'd love it.

Niall looked up at me and smiled

"Alright. I'll move in but you're sure you won't mind?" He asked making sure I was totally okay with it.

"Absolutely!" I got up and gave Niall a huge hug. My best friend was moving in with me!
