Lily's POV
-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-
    I can't believe this. Andrew. Niall. Niall beat Andrew up. And Niall took my hand and ran out of the restaurant.
   I couldn't help it. I cried. And cried. And cried. Niall was breathing heavily, obviously angry. He turned to me and once he saw me crying his face turned from angry to hurt. He looked heartbroken and it was like he just now realized what he did.
  Then he started crying and hugged me. I buried my face in his chest in inhaled his cologne. He didn't care if his shirt got wet with tears and I don't care how much of a mess I looked like. We stood there for hours crying in the cold until Taylor came and tapped on my shoulder.
  "Lily, it's okay hun.... He's gone now... Could you and the boys explain to us what that was about?"
   "Sure *sniffle* just  not in the parking lot,"
    "Let's go to my house," Niall said for the first time since he punched Andrew.
   It was a silent drive to his house and we all piled out and walked toward his basement. We sat on the couch and the floor.
   It took a solid hour for us to explain. At the end we all burst into sobs, even the guys. I cried into Niall chest and we cried until we didn't have any more tears.
     We all texted out parents we were staying at Niall's house. It was ok with his parents so we grabbed the sleeping bags from a closet. We sat in silence for another hour and finally Liam broke the silence.
  "Let's watch a movie,"
    Everyone nodded and we all decided to watch "Maze Runner". I went upstairs to make popcorn and Niall followed me up the stairs.
   "I'm sorry," he says.
   "For what Ni?"
    "For being a jerk,"
"You were not a jerk. You were my hero. And always will be"
He seemed shocked by my words. Then he burst into sobs again.
  "I-I j-just couldn't h-handle him b-being in front of m-me and acting so i-innocent!" He said between sobs.
  I hugged him and he looked me in the  eye.
"I guess I'll have I be your boyfriend now,"
"I'm okay with that,"
He put his hand around my waist and we walked back downstairs together and finished the movie. No one bothered to go to the sleeping bags because we all just fell asleep on the couch. I fell asleep in his arms, his breathing a lullaby for me.
