We finally went back to London since the break was almost over. Niall hugged her mother tightly as if it had been two years instead of two weeks.
"You alright?" she laughed lightly.
"Yeah. Just missed you." He said.
"I missed you too." She squeezed him and then moved toward her daughter giving her a hug as well.
They drove home and I went home with my mother who had come to pick me up from the airport.

"Ugh this is the only thing I did not miss." Niall groaned resting his head on the desk.
It was the very first period of our very first day of school after three weeks of holidays.
"I did not miss school either." I agreed with him. Though it was because of school and this class that I became Niall's girlfriend. My dreams of sleeping with him coming true was a bonus.

"Hello class. I hope you had a great holiday."
"Not really." Niall muttered.
"I also hope you did not forget about the big test coming up next Monday." The teacher announced.
"Great the same day as my math test." Niall rolled his eyes.

"What was that Mr Horan?"
"I have a math exam on the same day." He said.
"So?"
He shrugged.
"Is it possible to postpone the test?" I asked instead of him.
"Do you also have a math test on that day?" she asked kindly.
I glanced at Niall for a second.
"Yes." Not really.

"If you ask the question in Spanish then I might consider it."
Oh shit.
"We've been practicing. You can do this." Niall whispered squeezing my hand reassuring me.
"Puede ... Puede" I let out a shaky breath looking at Niall. He nodded at me smiling gently.
"Puedes posponer ...  el examen?"

She smiled widely at me nodding her head.
"Sí, puedo." She walked behind her desk.
"The test will be on Wednesday instead of Monday." She announced taking out her markers out of her bag.
I smiled looking at Niall.
"Well done." He smiled proudly at me.
It was lunch time and Niall was at football practice.

"It's been so long since we ate together, hasn't it?" Josh sat next to me.
Surprisingly Luke was not around. It was just Josh, Derek, and Alec.
"I suggest you walk away or else-"
"Or else what?" Josh cut Teresa off.
"Or else I'm going to destroy your dick which is size of a pea."

"It is not."
"What happened Joshy? Did I hit a nerve?" she fake pouted.
"Well I tell you what is not size of a pea. Your body." He said those words directly at me.
"You did not just say that!" Teresa was fuming.
I covered my stomach looking down. I miss winter break.
"I just stated a fact." He shrugged while wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
Suddenly someone patted on his shoulder. He turned his head to see who it was.

"First off," Niall slowly unzipped his jacket.
"Get your hands off my girlfriend." He removed his jacket placing it next to me.
"Second," he grabbed Josh's collar making him stand.
"Shut your garbage mouth." He punched Josh. Hard. We all heard a crack.
"FUCK YOU HORAN!" Josh yelled in pain holding his jaw.
The entire cafeteria went pin drop silent.

"Oh we are not done yet." Niall punched him again. And again. And again.
"ENOUGH!" The principal's voice shook the cafeteria.
"Horan. Johnson. My office. Now." He said madly.
"Mr Jeffords."
"Yes Leah?"
"It's not Niall's fault. He was just defending me."
"Defending you?"

I nodded. This was the second time Niall had gotten in trouble for defending me.
"We'll sort this out."
"It's not fair for him to get in trouble for defending me." My voice shook slightly.
"These boys have been bullying Leah nonstop Mr Jeffords." Teresa said.
"We still need to talk but I will keep that in mind. Derek and Alec, join us in the office as well."

"What happened?" I asked once Niall stepped out of the office.
"Nothing relax." He smiled hugging me.
"You didn't get suspended or anything?"
"Just a warning for starting a physical fight. Those cowards got suspended for three days due to the constant bullying."
"Only three days?"

"I argued about it too but it was no use."
"It doesn't matter. As long as you're okay, I'm okay too."
He smiled lightly looking at the ground.
"What?"
"We'll talk later. We have class now." He said holding my hand.
I did not concentrate for one second. What did Niall want to tell me?

"You think we can go for a ride?" Niall tilted his head toward his bike.
"What did you want to tell me?"
"We'll talk outside. Let's go." He sat behind his bike handing me a helmet. I sat behind him and wrapped my arms around him. Was he going to breakup with me? Was he finally tired of me. The thought of it caused me to tear up.

He drove off to an empty football field. Apparently his cousin from his mother side worked there so he granted us an access. We sat on the green field.

"Why are you crying?" Niall furrowed his eyebrows wiping away my tears.
"You're going to breakup with me, aren't you? You're tired of me."
"What no. Of course not."
Oh.
"You're not?"
"Why would I want to breakup with you?"
"You're acting weirdly."

"I wanted to talk about you. And I wanted to do it privately that's why I brought us here." he removed a piece of my hair out of my face.
"About me?" I swallowed.
He nodded.
"What about me?" I bit my lips nervously.

"Earlier you said as long as I'm okay you're okay."
"Yeah. And I meant it."
"You are not okay Leah." He shook his head side to side.
"What do you mean?"
"Leah I see you. Teresa sees you. You think we haven't noticed but we did. Teresa is worried about you. So am I."

"Why though?"
"Leah I see how you cover your stomach with your hands. I have also noticed how recently you barely eat anything." He pushed my hands away from my stomach.
"I eat enough." I muttered looking away.
"No you don't. I saw you the other day. The sleepover night. You thought I have left my room but I saw how you stared at your body with a digusted face and it fucking broke my heart into pieces."
A lump formed in my throat.

"I have observed your eating habit since then. It kept getting less and less. This is not healthy Leah."
A tear rolled down my cheek.
"That's not all."
I waited for him to continue with my head down.

"I've seen your scars at the back of your thighs." His voice shook.
Another tear rolled down my cheek.
"Leah last time we slept together, two of the cuts were fresh." He whispered sadly.

I squeezed my eyes shut. I couldn't prevent my tears anymore. He held my hand.
"You're not okay Leah. And it hurts me that you can't talk to me about it. It breaks my heart that you can't ask me for help."
He placed his other hand underneath my chin and lifted my face so we became eye to eye.
"Why can't you talk to me about it? Why didn't you ask for help?" he whisper-asked.

"I don't know how to." I whispered with my tears running down.

He hugged me.
"I'm here Leah. You were my lifejacket when I was drowning, so let me be yours too." He kissed the top of my head. For the first time ever, I started crying loudly.

After the breakdown I promised Niall to let him help me. I also promised that whenever I was feeling down I either go to him or facetime him so we could talk about it. Which was not enough for him so he made me swear.

"Now. This Friday the football tournoments will start. We are going against Hampton High for the first match. And I would love for my girlfriend to wear my jersey and support me in the stand." He traced my lips.
"I will gladly do it." I smiled at his words.
"Already got your jersey, it's at my house. I'll bring it tomorrow. Got Bella one too."
I smiled in response. He winked at me and kissed me.
Niall was my safe place.
