Chapter 2

Sorry it took so long.x

"Can we go back home?" I asked,frozen from his blue piercing eyes,I tried to reset my mind,stop thinking about him. Niall nodded obediently and followed me to the house,walking few steps behind me. I felt him staring at my leg,I tried to hide the limp and it made the leg hurt even more. "Can you stop?" I stopped and turned around,his look shot from my leg to my face. "Stop what?" he came close to me,narrowing the gap between us,"looking at my leg,I know that you are looking at it." I grumbled,I was worried that he will understand and know what is happening between Zayn and I. "sorry." he apologized and we continued walking.

"Do you want to eat something?" I asked when we came into the house,Niall smiled and scratched his stomach, emphasizing how hungry he was. I walked inside the kitchen, rolled up my sleeves and opened the fridge. I pulled my sleeves back down when I saw that Niall entered, hoping that he did not see anything.

Niall's P.O.V 

It took Reese a moment to notice that I'm standing at the entrance to the kitchen,in that time I saw her arms that were covered with dark scars and blue marks,I raised my eyebrows,showing signs of suspicion.  

"What do you want to eat?" she put her hand on her nape "sandwich,I think" I couldn't stop thinking about the way that her hands looked.

Reese quickly made two sandwiches and led me into the living room.  

She threw herself on the couch and I saw that her face winched.  

I sat next to her and took the sandwich,chewing it ,unable to take off my eyes from her, constricted in every move that she did.  

She turned on the television,too lazy to change the channel and tried to look like she was interested in the program.

"It's such a stupid program " I giggled after few minutes, Reese didn't answer,I felt her head touching lightly my shoulder. I looked at her and saw that she fell asleep. I smiled and looked at her face,on how calmly she sleeps. 

I remember her,she came one day with her father, two years ago,I remember that I came home and saw her sleeping on the couch meanwhile our dads talked in the kitchen, I remember that her shirt lift up a little and I could see a blue mark covering her waist and around it there were a few reddish dots that looked like burns.  

I didn't know her then and I don't know her now. But I've never forgot that look and I never will.

When my father said that he has to fly to Tokyo I was the one who came with the idea to stay over here. I wanted to see her again,the mysterious girl who slept in our home and maybe get to know her better. I was thinking about her a lot, trying to find out when father was planning to visit them so I could join. And now, I find myself sitting here,with her head on my shoulder, the girl I couldn't stop thinking about,is right here,next to me.

Reese's P.O.V 

"Reese,Niall, wake up." I felt a something touching my shoulder,I opened my eyes and saw my father standing in front of me "good evening sweetie." he smiled "what?! evening ?! what time is it?!" I sat straight and looked at Niall who was still sleeping,his head tilted back and his mouth was open a bit. His hand was behind my back and I felt two fingers holding my shirt gently.

"Seven p.m." Dad said and looked at Niall who woke up,yawned,leaned back again and looked at us. "What?! SEVEN?! I need to get ready!" I jumped from the couch and regretted it immediately. "What's the hurry?" Niall asked,still sleepy. "Dinner,with Zayn" I smiled and walked to the stairs,I didn't limp anymore,but the pain was still awful.
