My Saviour

Chapter 19: Niall

It's been a few days since I've been released from the hospital and Liam and them have been staying with me. How we made it work? Don't ask me. We have finished filming catfish and it got a great response from many people.

Greg came over and said I should go with Liam, but he wasn't alone. He introduced me to his girlfriend, Denise, and I could see why my brother liked her, she's a lovely person.

I am no longer going to that school seeing as I'm going to live in London with Liam, who insisted he could get me a tutor to home school me. And I'm also going on tour with him when it resumes.

Liam's lawyer managed to settle the case without going to court and I must say, I salute him for that. The school was to pay me R80 000 (a/n I don't know how much a rand is when you convert it to euro's,  but last time I checked it R1 = £17, so that's roughly £358000 and $200 000 since R1 = $10) for the physical and mental abuse, but I got him to give Greg over half of it and give the rest to a charity of his choice.

Lou and I are best friends and he makes sure he reminds everyone about that every single time he gets. I truly appreciate him, he always wants to make everyone laugh.

We've been packing my stuff so we can leave. Luckily, I didn't own a lot of things because I haven't gotten around to buying stuff after moving here. I was getting another box when the doorbell rang.

"Pizza!" Lou shouted. If he new what it was, why didn't he go get it? Oh yeah, that would require him to get money out of his pocket.

I grabbed some bills and opened the door. "Thank you." I smiled at the delivery guy as I traded my money for the pizza.

"M-my," He cleared his throat. "My pleasure." He said. Why was he so nervous?

"Are you Niall Horan?" Oh... That's why he is so nervous.

"Yes, I am Niall Horan." I wanted to see where this will end.

"I was uhh... I was watching catfish the other day and... umm... I ehh...". He cleared his throat again before continuing. "Okay, so here's the thing. My best friend was abused and bullied by his parents and school mates, not the teachers though, but he didn't want to tell the teachers so they can tell child protection services.

I read about your episode and convinced him to watch it and when he saw how close you were to death, he got scared when he thought that could be him sooner or later, so he agreed to tell my parents and now he loves at home with me.

I just wanted to thank you for saving my friend. I know it mustn't have been easy telling your story, but I will forever be grateful to you for saving my best friend and probably a million other kids out there." And by now, the other guys have come to see what was taking me so long.

"I'm glad I could help." I whispered out because thus was so overwhelming. I have been getting inspiring messages on social media, but no one has ever told me how much of a difference in their lives my story made, and that made me proud of myself.

"Thank you again. I could never repay you for what you did." He turned and left before turning at the gate. "YOU ARE MY HERO, NIALL HORAN!" He then shouted at the top of his lungs before leaving.

"And here I was thinking I was going to have you all to myself." Liam hugged me from behind and kissed my neck. Yep, Liam and I made it official.

"Well, it was your idea Mr Superstar." I said as I leaned into him.

"We're running out of pizza if you want some." Lou yelled from the kitchen. His voice was muffled as if he had something in his mouth, oh Lord, he's eating with his mouth full again.

"Lou, swallow your food before talking. His many time do I have to tell you this?" I said as if I was talking to a child. Oh who am I kidding, I might as well be talking to a child.

He swallowed his food before opening his mouth and showing me his empty mouth with an 'aaahh'.

"Can someone explain to me how I am the younger one between the two of us?" I pointed between Lou and myself.

"It's Lou, my love. He's never going to grow up." Liam said from the fridge.

"Yeah, I'm still wondering how he's older than most of us." Zayn said as he took a bite of his pizza.

"He's going to be one of those cool uncles who gives you candy when your mom and dad specifically said 'no sugar'." Ed said said with a far away look. We all looked at him weirdly. "What? I love my uncle Lenny, okay?" Ed sad when he saw us looking at him.

And that's how we started talking about our family members who we loved and hated the most.

--------------------------------------------

Today is take off day. We are leaving for Liam's tour that has been resumed as soon as everything was settled. And by everything I mean my passport and we made sure everything was sent to London.

Right now I was hugging the shit out of my brother, I didn't want to let go. He came to bid us farewell because who knows when hell well see each other again.

"I'll miss you, broski." I whispered and he hugged me tighter.

"I'll miss you too baby bro." He said and we pulled back. "Call me everyday and if you can't, text me, okay? Or I'll come looking for you wherever you are in the world and kick your arse." He said as tears welled up in both our eyes.

"I promise, Greg." I wiped my tears away.

"Niall, we have to go babe. That was the last call for our flight." I was so focused on my brother that I didn't hear our flight being called.

Greg and I said goodbye before going our separate ways.

------------------------------------------------

And that was the last concert of Liam's tour before going on hiatus. That's right, Liam is taking a break from music because he wants he wants to be there for me.

"You okay?" I asked him when he came from stage. He was all sweaty and panting and hot and giving me a boner and I could ju-" No, Niall. No! Stop thinking about that.

"I'm still a little high on that, but I think I will survive." He spoke so fast I almost didn't hear what he was saying.

It kinda just reminded me of when Trevor Noah said he once asked an Indian why they spoke so fast and the Indian replied by saying 'No, we're not talking to quickly, you just listen slow.'

"I think you need to calm down before we can talk." He agreed and then went to hit the showers.

I just sat there waiting for him so we can go to the hotel, get some sleep and and leave for London tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey. I know this is a little jumpy, but I just wanted to move it along so we can move on to more interesting things.

On the bright side, Niall will be meeting Liam's parents next chapter.

The calculations are not accurate, but let's just go along with it.
