Chapter Twenty-Five

Skylar's POV

When I stood up and took Niall's hand and ushered him over the mattress, I wanted nothing more than to take a break. I wanted Niall to wrap his arms around me tightly and make me feel better. I wanted him to take all the pain away from the absence of my family and the bulky and annoying cast on my leg. I wanted things back to how they used to be, just us and his best mates having the time of our lives whilst living our dreams. But I knew that things had changed, everything was different.

When he laid down behind me and wrapped his arms so securely around me I knew he was trying to ease the pain of our situation. I laid in his embrace and cherished the moment. Just laying in his arms was such a comforting feeling and I never understood how calm he was able to make me.

Even with it only being the mid-afternoon, I felt my eyes start to droop just then realizing how exhausted I was. With the warmth of Niall's strong arms around me petite body, and the steady, peaceful beat of his heart, I started drifting off to sleep when I heard him speak up,

“Skylar, it is foolish to pretend that you're fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. You're going to grow up with the loss of your mother, father, and brother and I know that those memories and the pain that comes along will never go away. The wounds still remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers your past with scars and sometimes the pain lessens. But it is never gone, Sky. I know that the road ahead will be rough and I know that sometimes even I wont be enough to keep you from having a bad day, but I want you to know and believe me when I say that I'll always be here for you. No matter what hardships you, I, or us together go through, I will alwaysbe by your side. I can't even think about leaving such a gorgeous, strong, woman behind. I know you hate being alone, and I'm here to make sure that you're never alone. I love you too much for you to be hurting like this. I will do anything in my power to keep you safe and happy. You're all I need, Skylar. You're my princess, and there aren’t words to even begin to describe how much love I have for you.” The passion in his voice was so powerful, and I could tell he was crying by the vulnerability in his voice. Niall hadn't said something so meaningful to me in quite a while and I couldn't stop the tears. I silently cried myself to sleep in Niall's arms, hoping to wake up in the same position.

*-*-*-*-*

When I awoke the next morning, the absence of Niall's arms around my body was easily recognizable. He was no longer in our bed, nor the room. I sat up slowly and frowned because he was nowhere in sight.

I knew that Niall and I needed to have a legitimate talk about what was going on. After everything he said last night, I knew he meant every word. I slipped out of the bed sheets and made my way to the bathroom, letting my cloths fall to the floor, pealed off the boot plastered to my leg, and got into the shower. I tuned on the water waiting for the burning blast to collide against my back. When it did, I relaxed immediately and washed up.

Roughly twenty minutes later, I was back in the bedroom rummaging through my draws, looking for some decent clothes. I heard a knock on my door hearing Niall's sweet voice and shouted back,

“Just a minute, babe,” I quickly grabbed the first clean bra and pair of panties I found, throwing them on and giving Niall permission to come in. He came in with two mugs of steaming tea and set them both on the nightstand.
