Maddies POV:

"Bye Perrie! Thanks!"

"No problem , love! See you soon. Bye Leah!"

"Bye Aunt Perrie." Leah says and cutely waves.

"Okay. So I need you to go get your pajamas on, and go lay down, and mummy will tuck you in. Okay?"

"Mkay!" She says and runs towards her room. I walk to mine and open the door to find Niall sharpening a knife. I shut the door and locked it so Leah wouldnt walk in.

"Babe ! What is that for ?"

"Someone."

"Cmon Niall. I'm tired of the secrets." I say calmly.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Remember how I did drug dealing? Well the guy that sold them says i stole over 2 grand, which trust me baby, I didnt.

So I have to fight him, or hes coming after you and Leah."

"Oh my god." I say and cover my face then look at him.

"Im sorry." He says.

"How long has it been since you did the drug dealing?"

"Last time I did was before you. I swear."

"So is this box fighting or?"

"I dont know. Most likely.

If not, im using my gun."

"Youre gonna kill him?"

I was trying to stay calm. I was trying so hard not to explode on him. I was doing everything in my power not to cry.

"Baby, everything is gonna be okay. I promise I wont let him near you or Leah."

"Niall this is crazy."

"But... Please tell me youre not gonna make me leave. Please tell me that Everything is going to be fine."

"Niall..." I say and step towards him.

"Im not going anywhere, and youre not going anywhere. We're in this together. For me, for you and for Leah."

He smiled and hugged me,

The minty - peppermint smell filling my nose and instantly calming me.

I pulled away and stared into his blue eyes.

He licked his lips and looked from my eyes to my lips for permission.

I nodded and he leaned in, connecting our lips.

My mouth moved with his, the feeling I had 5 years ago still there. He was the love of my life whether I hated to admit it or not.

And I didnt want him going anywhere.

Niall's Pov:

I pulled away from the kiss and looked at the woman in front of me. She had dealt with being scared, with the crying, the laughing, the things that noone knew about me. She had loved me,

For me. The dark and the light side of me.

Sure my past isnt as dark as it used to be. My mum apologized and I forgave. But I cant forget the time my friend was killed in front of me. That was something I NEVER told Maddie. I just wasnt ready.

This guy who blamed me for stealing 2 grand of drugs was wanting to fight me. He threatened to kill my family , once again. Thays the reason why I ran out of louis'.

I wasnt ready to tell Maddie that, but i knew i had to because she wouldnt stop until I did.

"Im gonna keep you safe , Maddie. I promise." I say.

She nods and leans her head on my chest.

"Be careful, Niall. Please be careful." She begs and lifts her head up, softly kissing the corner of my mouth and walking out to Leahs room. I sat on the bed and thought about the day my friend, Chase, died.

*FLASHBACK*

"Whaaaat?" I asked and took a swig of my beer. I was only 16, and with losing my dad, brother and mum, I was a druggie and an alcoholic.

"Man... These woman these days dont understand us. As men, we should show them who boss !" Chase says.

I crack up laughing at his idiotic ways and held my stomach.

"Be like, hey ! It aint hoes R us or anything. Get some respect!" He says and does a peace sign.

"Peace signs do not show respect. They show peace obviously !" I slur and laugh.

"In my world they do Nigga!"

"Dont call me that! Im like a white girl." I say and laugh.

"Mkay, so you my gay friend?"

"Nah bro. Just white. Not gay. Hey girl hey!" I say in a high pitched voice.

"Yo homies !" A guy, also known as ; Luke walks up.

"Hey! Whats chillin?" Chase says and shakes his hand.

"Wanted to know if you boys wanted to smoke a joint with me and my friends ?" He asks:

"Yeahh! Sureeee!" I say and stand up, almost falling on my ass.

We sat there and talked, passing the pipe and laughing our asses off. One guy there, named Brandon, didnt like Chase. He kept sending him glares and shit.

"Whatchu staring at ?!" Chase says. The alcohol and weed mixing.

"Your faggot face." Brandon says.

"What? You got a problem with me?"

"Hell ya i do!"

They stood up and Chase punched him, making him fall backwards.

I saw Chase grab something then drop it. A gun. Brandon grabbed it and pointed it at Chase.

Oh shit.

"Man dont -"

BOOM BOOM BOOM.

The bullet seemed to move in slow motion and hit chase, straight in the heart.

"CHASE !" I screamed and ran to him.

No pulse. Nothing.

My bestfriend died;

And left me. Just like everyone else.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

"Niall?" Maddies soft voice says, interuppting me from my thoughts.

"Leah wants you to go say goodnight." She says.

I nod and get off the bed; walking to my babys room.

"Hey babygirl." I whisper.

"Hi daddy."

"You tired?"

She nods and rubs her eyes.

"Just remember Daddy loves you, okay?"

"Okay..." She says and I kiss her forehead.

I got up and stopped at the door.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too."
