~Dark Niall~12

"Damn it Becca let me see her!" Is what I wake up to. Niall. It was Niall who was yelling. "No! She came home sobbing last night because you scared the shit out of her!" Becca screams back. I found myself curl into a ball and hide underneath the sheets. I didn't want to face him right now. But I figured I'd have to sometime. I slowly creep out of bed and continue listening, "I'm still her boyfriend! Now move!" I could see them now. Niall pushed pass Becca but she caught his arm "damn it Niall no! Leave her alone!" Niall spun back around to face her and fear began to rise inside of me again. "Niall!" I say loudly. He whips around stares at me. His face softens and he takes a step towards me. "Lillie, a-are you okay?" He asks sounding heart broken. All I do is nod before going up to him and hugging him tight. Yeah he scared the shit out of me but he was also scared. He hugs back tight to, and kisses the top of my head. He takes my hand. "Can we go somewhere?" He asks almost whispering it. I hear Becca sigh and I look to her. "It's okay Becca, I'll be fine." I reassure her. She's unsure but nods, Niall leads me out of the flat and to his car where we drive to a park. He parks the car and stays silent for a long while. Finally though he speaks. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you, or push you down, or -" he stops himself and pinches his eyes shut. He takes another deep breath and reopens his eyes. "Please say you'll forgive me." My eyes begin to water. He seemed so heart broken it killed me, but I was scared. "Lillie. Please, say something, anything." He voice was urgent. I turned away from him and let the tears spill down my cheeks. I took a deep breath before talking. "Of course I forgive you Niall. I-I was just s-so scared you w-were gonna k-kill him o-or something!" I stutter out almost loosening it. Niall sighs and I know He's just run his fingers threw his hair. "I know baby. I'm so sorry you had to witness that. I try so hard to keep that part from you." "Is it true that it was because of the drugs then?" I say looking at him now. His face falls when he sees my tears. He pulls me into his lap and cradles me. "Yeah, yeah it is. They made me aggressive, and when I stopped that was the only way to get ride of the urges. By smashing things and picking fights with people." I don't know why but I just start to openly cry out loud. I feel Niall's heart race when he hears this. I just didn't want to lose him, ever. He wraps his arms around me tight and rubs my back. "She princess, please, please don't cry. I hate it. Please." He begged. I buried my face in the nap of his neck and tried to stop. Finally I managed and sat up. "Don't leave me.- I mean, I just don't want to lose you." I sniffle. He kisses me and then my tears away pressing our foreheads together. "You won't lose me dear. I promise." I nod and he kisses me again. He scoops me up and sets me back down in my seat. "I-is Jeff- is he ok?" I say looking at Niall swelled knuckles. The tighten around the steering wheel. "Umm yeah, he's got a bad concussion and I few broken bones.....Lillie?" "Yes?" "Will you tell me what he did?" I sigh. "It's not important nia-" "No, no, I just want to know. Is it,-was I to late?" He asks stopping the car in front of a fast food place. I took a deep breath. I knew what he meant...had he raped me. "No, Niall no." I say shaking my head. He lets out a sigh of relief then gets out and we get some food. Niall and I eat and talk for a bit. Just about how he's sorry, about Jeff, Will, and stuff like that. Eventually though I had to go get ready for work. Niall stops outside my house and before I get out he says, "I'll see you tonight at my place right?" I sigh. "Actually Niall, I'm gonna stay over here." "Okay then I'll meet you here." "Alone." I hated saying that but, I just needed some space. His jaw clenched but he eventually nodded. "Fine. I'll be back to pick you up for work soon." He says sharp. I nod and he drives away. I still had a little bit of time before work after I got ready. I'm watching tv when I hear a knock at the door. It's probably Niall. I get up and open the door. Nope, not Ni, but his brother Greg. Greg smirks and walks pass me. "Nice to see you again Lillie." He says shutting the door for me. I stay frozen and don't turn around. "Where's my baby brother?" "He's on his way hear. So you should leave!" I say reopening the door for him. He chuckles. "Not so fast baby," he shuts it and gets close to my face "I heard about Niall's little outburst at the club, poor thing, he still hasn't got that thing under control has he?" "It could come in handy sometimes." I spit. I try to push pass him but he won't have it. He chuckles again and pinches my cheek. "You know, I'm happy for him. Finally finding one girl and settling, it's a lot better then what he was doing before...." I knew, I just knew I shouldn't give in. Ask what he means. But I betray myself. "What's that suppose to mean?" He smirks and pushes away from me. He wonders to my shelves and looks at my pictures. "I mean I'm glad he's not fucking every single girl he lays his eyes on anymore...it was bad." I grit my teeth and glare at him. "Your lying! Y-you- N-Niall's changed! He's not like that anymore!" "He's not eh? He's always gone at work Lillie, who knows what kind of lady friends he has there..." "Stop! Just get out! Now!" I point out the door. If only looks could kill I'm telling ya. He chuckles. "I'm leaving, I'm leaving," he says putting his hands up in defense "see you later babe." Then he's gone. I slam my door shut and just fume there. I even throw my shit at my walls. Greg was gonna be the end to me I swear. It didn't get much better when Niall picked me up. "Is something wrong?" He finally asks as we pull up to Starbucks. I had been silent the whole way. "Yeah I guess." I shrug not looking at him. He sighs. "You guess? Lillie what's going on?" He puts his hand on my hand. I yank away and look at him. "Is it true you fucked a lot of girls!?" I blurt out steaming. Niall looks at me shocked then angry. "Where the hell did you hear that?!" "Answer the question Niall!" He hits the steering and his whole body trembles. He tries to calm himself done enough to answer me. "I went threw a faze where I nailed a majority of girls, yes, I'm sorry, but that's in the past now" "Is it? Niall your always gone at work and I don't know anything about who you work with or what exactly you do, and I don't ever ask because I know it upsets you!" "You think I'm cheating?!" He says threw gritted teeth. I take a deep breath and look at him. "No, I-I just, my dad Would tell me and my mom he was working late when really he was cheating." I feel all of those memories come back and try to block them out. Niall sighs now. "Lillie, I would never, ever cheat on you. I'm sorry your dad did that, but I'm not like that anymore." He grabs my hand again and kisses it. I smile at him and kiss him. "I know, I'm sorry." He kisses back. "It's fine princess. You can trust me." "I know." We kiss one last time before I get out and watch him drive away. Why did I ever listen to Greg? I make my way inside and Phil is already starting to talk about his day to me. About a couple hours into my shift we hear the door open. I have my back faced to it well Phil takes care of it. "Hi what can I get for you?" He asks. "That fine piece of ass please." I freeze. I recognized that voice to well. Greg. How the hell did he know where I worked?! I turn around and he's of course smirking. I grit my teeth and glare at him. "What the hell are you doing here?!" I feel Phil get closer to me. "What I can't come to Starbucks and get something?" I leave from behind the counter and get in his face. I've had enough of him. "Just leave me alone Greg!" That wasn't a good idea. Greg grabs my arm tightly and glares at me. "Why? You don't like having me around?!" His grip gets tighter and I whimper. Suddenly Phil is pushing him away from me and stands in front of me. "I think you should leave, now." Phil says in a a deep tone. Greg chuckles. "I'll be seeing you soon cupcake." He says to me and then leaves. Phil turns toward me after we're sure he's gone. "Are you ok? Who was that?" "I'm fine, it was Niall's older brother Greg." "I wouldn't he be mad that he's basically stalking you?" "Yes. That's why he's not gonna find out! Please don't say anything, please!" Phil thinks for a sec. "Fine, but if this guy doesn't lay off, call me ok?" Phil says sticking out his chest a bit more. I laugh at him because I bet Greg could take him down instantly. "Okay, Phil." After work Niall comes and picks me up with surprises me with lilies again. He drives to the park we were at today, it now being dark, I see something glowing in the middle of the park area. We get out and as we get closer I realize it's candles. It was a little picnic with Nutella sandwiches and soda. And candles surrounding the whole thing. I look to Niall who looks a bit nervous. "You like it? I know it's a bit cheesy I jus-" "No, no not at all! Niall it's perfect." I smile at him causing the same thing to spread across his face. We sit down and he asks me about work. I cleverly avoid the Greg thing and we begin to eat. It was funny, Niall could look and act all badass and what not, but deep down he was actually a really sensitive and romantic guy. The Niall I loved. Wow, loved eh? "Thank you for the lilies." I say blushing as he scoots closer to me. "Your welcome princess." He leans and places a sweet kiss on my lips. So gently at first, but then of course passionately. My hands travel threw his smooth hair as his travel up my shirt. He leans so much into the kiss it forces me down on the ground with him on top of me. I didn't actually believe we were gonna do it outside in this park, but when he starts kissing my neck one can only wonder....I wrap my legs around his torso and bring him back to my lips. Just as we're making it more heated then it already is his phone rings. He sighs and gets off of me. He answers it as I straighten myself out. "Hello?...I'm kind of busy...no you don't have to do th-....okay." He hangs up and looks at me sad. "Really sorry babe, but I have to go into work." He says cleaning up. I look at him for a minute kind of hurt, but then Just let it go. I didn't want to start a fight again. "Oh okay." Was all I said as he carried the stuff to his car. We climb in and he kisses me and then my nose. "Really sorry, will continue this later. I promise." He says winking. I sigh and nods. He drops me off at my flat and Becca's car is not here. Oh yeah, she worked today. Well there's no way in hell I was staying alone, not with Greg still stalking me. So I called Will. I enjoyed Will's company. When he got here we popped in a movie. "Hey, Elliott tell me to tell you sorry by the way." He whispers during the movie. "Really?" "Yeah he said he feels bad for trying to make a move on you in the car and just acting like an ass," "Well you can tell him he's forgiven." "Okay I will." He smiles. Suddenly my flat door opens and Niall comes in. At first he looks fine, but then he sees Will. His face drops and goes into a glare, while his body tensed along with his jaw and fists. He didn't look to happy that Will and I were cozy watching a movie. Not at all. And by the look in his eyes something was about to erupt.....
