Philophobia - A Niall Horan Fanfiction

Chapter 5

"Abby no matter how mad I get I would never hurt you or Anna. I promise you. Not that I would never hurt you but I promise that I will keep you and Anna safe from getting hurt. Okay?" Niall as he held out his pinkie finger.

"Promise?" Abby said as she wrapped her pinky finger around Niall's.

"I promise. Now eat our ice cream so you can meet the rest of One Direction, Okay?"

"Okay, Ari can please have my ice cream?" Abby says.

"Of course," I said as I handed Niall and Abby their Ice Cream.

"Wait, what do you mean? How is she going to get away? I gasped

"Well since she believes her workers over her Customers, I told her to look at the security camera footage and that she would see the real truth. But the thing is that they don't have any." Niall said in between licks of his ice cream

"It's fine what she said was true." I wanted to believe that after I said that, he would leave me and Abby but, I had a gut feeling that we were going to be stuck with him.

"Anna, come sit back here with us," Abby said

"I'm good right here," I said to be honest I wanted to go back there but I couldn't get too close to Niall or he would kick Abby and me out.

"Yeah Anna, come on. Please."Niall begged

"Okay fine, I'll come back and sit with you guys,"

"Yay. Anna, are we going home?"

"No. Never, we don't have to see him ever again."

"Good 'cause I didn't like the way he treated us," Abby said and I could tell that Niall's face was blank. He didn't know what to say.

"I know Abby," I told her then I took a huge bite out of her ice cream.

"Hey! That's my ice cream. You have your own."

"It's called big sister tax."

"That's not fair then I should get little sister tax."

Throughout this all Niall is giggling. It's really cute. But I can't let him know that.

Niall was done with his ice cream so he got out and went to the driver's seat. Obviously to drive. There is no way that Niall would let me drive his nice Jeep. I felt a bit sad though, not about Niall's Jeep. Okay, maybe a little. But I was sad because Niall was the first guy to treat Abby and me nicely and kindly. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't realize that I was alone in the Jeep. We were in the driveway of a really big mansion. Abby. She was gone. I looked around and saw that Niall left his phone. Then someone started to call it. I shouldn't look at it, right? But it keeps ringing. I should answer it. I picked up his phone and I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Niall?"

"No, I'm his uh- friend, Anna."

"Oh, well uh okay. Tell him I called him."

"Yeah of course. And your name is?"

"Ed. Ed Sheeran"

"Okay. I will tell him."

"Thank you. Goodbye."

"Bye"

Wow, that was so unexpected. Wait Niall and the boys knew and Ed and have his phone number. I shake the thoughts out of my head and I get out of the jeep with Niall's phone in my hand. I close the door and walk up a bit to the front door or what I think is the front door, I'm not sure this house is so big I don't even know what to do.

I reached the door and I rang the doorbell. I waited for a second while I heard running and fighting to open the door for me. But then finally it opens and I see Niall's sweet face.

"Hey."

"Hey, come on in."

"Welcome to our lovely flat." I know it's a bit of a mess but to be fair 5 teenage boys are living here so what do people expect from us."

"Holy shit this please is amazing."

"Yeah, I guess it is."

Then all of a sudden Abby came running towards me screaming. She ran into my arms.

"Abby what's wrong did they hurt you?."

"No, we are racing and Hazza said that the first one to get to you gets a prize."

"Where is Harry anyways?"

Then we hear Harry running down the hallway

"Ahhh, I got here first Abby I win."

"Hazza I was already here."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry Hazza you're just too slow for me."

"I guess so," Harry says very out of breath. 

"I told you guys that running isn't my thing," Zayn says as he walks up to us.

"I guess so Z," Abby says obviously that she is pleased about winning

We all gather around the couch. With Abby being Abby she sat right next to Harry. She has grown fondly attached to Harry. That's okay though because I have been fondly attached to Niall,

"Do you guys want to watch a movie I have got a good one."

"Uh oh, what movie is it now Niall," Louis said in a monotone voice.

"Uh duh, it's the best movie on the whole planet. BARBIE"

"Oh no, Not Barbie. Abby with go crazy for Barbie." I say under my breath so that no one hears me

"YES BARBIE"

"Yes, Abby agrees with me. Not you as-   meanines." Niall caught himself before he had said a bad word, to protect Abby's ears of course but little did he know that she had heard all the different words

"Good save," Louis said from the other side of the living room.

Niall scooted closer to me. I couldn't tell if it was because he didn't want to be by Louis and Harry or if he wanted to sit by me. Niall takes the remote from Harry and turns on Barbie. I could see Abby's face glow. She loves Barbie and to be able to watch something that she wants to watch is new for her. While I was too busy focusing on how Abby was happy for once, Niall had put his arm around me. I moved in closer to him. I crave physical touch. Physical touch isn't always intimate. I felt safer when he had done that. I could feel myself creating feelings for Niall but I had to shove them down. I don't know if he feels the same way. Or even worse that I had faked everything so that I could be closer to him. I felt my eyes starting to get more tired. I tried to stay awake but I couldn't I was so comfortable and I was really tired. I thought a quick nap wouldn't hurt.
