My Good Luck Charm

Chapter 6

My mom looked at me with concern washing all over her face. She nodded slowly.

"I don't think dads in jail" I said, trying to stay strong. Her eyes widened, and she stood up. "Why do you think that?"

I took a deep breath. "Today, when I was dialing your number to call you, between those rings, I heard two men planning a kidnap or murder. The one man, he said "Robert, did you get away"

My mom took a deep breath, with trembling in between. A tear slipped from her eye, as I walked over to her and hugged her lightly.

"It's gonna be ok mom, i'll try and do something about this. If not, I do have Niall by my side."

I looked at my mom, and I could tell she was scared shit less, but I knew she was trying to be as strong as I was. Maybe even more..

"I'm going up to bed, i'm really tired.."I said to my mom, she nodded and I began walking us the stairs. I got ready to go to bed, and I was just laying there, thinking of what in the world could happen next. My whole body was trembling, and throughout the whole night, I was sweating, and having horrible dreams about my dad.

When I woke up, I heard talking coming from downstairs, I looked out my window, the sun was shining and there were no clouds in sight. I also spotted a familiar car.. Nialls?

I grabbed my brush, and started to brush my long hair, and put it up in a messy bun. I walked downstairs, and saw Nialls blonde head, looking toward my mom. A faded conversation was ringing through my ears.

"Mrs. Brock, you wont have to worry about anything. I promise i will try my best to protect you and Ariana."

A small smile spred across my face as I walked down the stairs. Niall heard the stairs creek, and his head moved in my direction.

"Morning Ari" I smiled at my mum, and greeted her 'good morning' I took a seat next to Niall, and he rubbed my back.

"Why did you come by? Not that I don't want you to" I looked at Niall, and he just shrugged.

"Oh just because. I wanted to see you and how you were after what happened yesterday"

I looked up at him and smiled, with him kissing me lightly. "I also wanna take you to the mall today"

Niall said, and I looked at him like he was crazy or something. No one ever took me to the mall. I looked over at my mom and she nodded her head and gave me thumbs up.

"Come on"

Niall said, as he carried me up the stairs, softly pushed me in my room and told me to get dressed.

For someone that doesn't go shopping often, I have really nice clothes. It's weird. I put on some shorts, a cute tank top, some bracelets and I opened my door and seen Niall waiting right there.

"I just have to fix up my hair" I said, turning on my straightener. Niall took a seat on the the end of my bed, and just looked all around my room.

I grabbed my straightener and started to straighten my hair, strand by strand. Niall came up behind me, and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"What if I burn you Niall" I questioned him with a laugh. He chuckled and squeezed my hips before sitting back down on my bed. Once I finished, and I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

"Ready?"

I asked, walking back in my room, Niall right behind me and my mom sipping her coffee with her favorite cooking show on. I've been healing up a lot faster then I expected. So it wasn't such a struggle to do things anymore.

"We're gonna go to Starbucks first" Niall said, and pulled out of the driveway. I nodded and looked out the window. We pulled into the parking lot and walked in Starbucks.

"Why don't you go grab us a seat and I'll be right over there" Niall said. I nodded my head and he kissed my cheek. I walked to the table in the corner by the window. I played around with the strings on my hoodie, since it was a little chilly out. I looked out the window and seen someone so familiar from a distance. I squinted my eyes to get a better view. The figure came closer and I almost ran to Niall when me and the person made complete eye contact.
