Nerd In A New World (ONE DIRECTION AU)

Chapter 15

I pulled up to Niall's house. I saw him waiting on his steps. He got up and came over to me as I got out of the car. He gave me a hug.
"Louis let me know what happened. You can stay as long as you want." He let go and smiled.
"Thanks." I smiled. I went and grabbed my backpack. I opened the trunk and started to grab my suitcase.
"What? Are you moving in?" He questioned. Then he smiled and took my suitcase, "I'm just kidding. C'mon." Niall and I walked inside.
"Skye! C'mon. We just made supper. Come and eat." Mr. Horan smiled. Niall smiled and set my suitcase down. I rested my backpack against it and we walked into the dining room. I never eat in a dining room and with my whole family around too. I wish it was always like this. We sat down.
"This is nice." I grinned then looked at Niall.
"What do you mean?" He questioned as Mr. and Mrs. Horan looked at me.
"In my household we would rarely ever have a family supper together at the table." I told them.
"Well, then I'm glad you are able to join us." Mrs. Horan smiled.

After dinner Niall and I did our homework in his room. It's always so quiet when we do homework together and I like it. It's usually quiet with Louis it's just sometimes we get sidetracked. But as I am nearing the end of my history homework something came to mind. I looked up at Niall.
"Niall, I have a question."
"Yeah." He turned around.
"Why did you suggest for me to sing Mean for music and for you to play the guitar?" I wondered. He put his pen down and got up. He went over to his closet and pulled out his guitar. He sat back down.
"Because I already know it and I love your voice and with everything going on I thought that the song was appropriate." Niall smiled then started playing the chords to Mean. I know he wants me to sing but I'm not in the mood for it. He stopped playing before the song finished. He set his guitar down.
"I'm guessing you aren't in the mood to sing?"
"Not really, but that was great." I grinned.
"So are you and Louis ok? You two aren't as like close as usual." Niall was right. We aren't as close but I know Louis and I are great.
"Yeah, we are completely fine. I think it's just everything that has happened has like effected us I guess but hopefully that's resolved soon." I told him.
"Ok, I was just wondering because you two are still wearing your promise rings. But I'm happy you two are fine." He smiled.
"Yeah, and is it ok if Louis comes over after school?"
"Yeah, of course. My parents like Louis." He smiled.
"Ok." I grinned and went back to my homework. Niall didn't even move and he stayed looking at me. I looked up, "What?" I questioned.
"You know how I was bullied. What happened to you? What did they do to you?" He wondered.
"I rather not talk about it." I went back to work.
"C'mon Skye. Have you told anyone?"
"No and I would like to keep it that way." I stayed looking at my paper and writing.
"Skye, you need to tell someone. Obviously we are alike so I would understand-"
"You wouldn't understand." I cut him off.
"How do you know? What's one thing that makes it different?"
"My last name is Death. Try living with that last name. It's not that easy. Considering Alex and Kasey knew me and were over my house every once in awhile they knew my family had a dog. His name was Toby. I loved him so much. But he grew old and just died of old age. Once Alex and Kasey found out they sent a rumor around saying that I killed my own dog. It's sick. They found it funny because my last name is Death. All the other kids stared at me and called me a killer. That wasn't even the worst of it all Niall. That's only like three months of what they have done to me." I was angry and tense bringing back that memory.
"I'm sorry. I never thought about that."
"No one ever does." I said.
"You don't have to tell me anything else but if you want to talk you can always come to me." He said.
"I know. Can we just finish our work?" I asked.
"Yeah." Niall nodded then went back and focused on his work. One single tear ran down but I wiped it away.

Tomorrow is going to be different. I already told my mom the truth so I don't care anymore. If Alex and Kasey come at me one more time and it's killing me, I'm not holding back and I won't let anyone else hold back. I'm done with being in hell and I need this to be over with. Just one hit to both of them will make me happy. I know they'll tell my mom but I don't care anymore. I'm not dealing with their crap anymore.
