Last First Kiss (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction) (*ON HOLD*)

Chapter Nine

So I sat down and told him everything, trying my hardest to keep back the tears and swallow the stubborn lump in my throat that wouldn't move. I had to explain everything. Meaning, not just what happened with Tyler but everything before and how I got with him, what it was like. Niall wanted to know everything.

I watched his face as it turned from one of concern to enraged and angry. I never thought I'd see his perfect face like that. His usually bright and happy eyes turned dark and sad as I recounted the past, hating myself for doing it to him every second I talked more. Every time he looked up at me it felt like a knife was being stabbed into my stomach continuously.

As soon as I finished he pulled me closer to him and I rested my head on his chest, the tears spilling down my cheeks as I remembered over and over again the scene of Tyler and his hands around my neck and his hard knuckles punching into me. He kissed me on the top of my head many times trying to reassure me.

"If he dares tries to come within any distance of you, I promise you I'll show him where to go." he said.

But even he knew it wasn't as simple as that. I had told him everything about Tyler and I knew that Tyler would not just walk away. He'd put up a fight. He'd probably bring a weapon seeing as he was so cowardly.

"It's not as simple as that." I croaked my throat sore.

Niall got up, laid me down on the sofa and went to get a drink. He came back in with steaming cups of hot chocolate and a bowl of crisps a couple of minutes later and I took my mug and a couple of crisps appreciatively.

"What are we going to do?!" I wailed, throwing my hands up in the air exasperated.

"We're just going to have to wait and see what happens." Niall said, still calm about the situation.

"But you don't know what he's like!" I tried to convince him.

He took hold of both my hands and looked into my eyes. I got that same feeling in my stomach every time he did that. Even when something really bad was happening. It was like his little trick to get me to listen and it always worked and always would work. "I promise you, whatever happens, I won't let any harm come to you by this animal of a man and I won't let him get between us. Never ever. I swear down on my life."

I hugged him tight, never wanting to let go. I knew he wouldn't break his promise. But Tyler most probably would. He would not rest until everything between me and Niall would be destructed, assassinated and dead. I knew that for a fact. Tyler would never give up. Once he vowed revenge on someone or something, nothing could stop him.

I looked up at Niall through my watery eyes and knew this was where I wanted to be forever. "Let's just wait and see what happens." I said doubtfully.

"Yes, lets." he agreed.

That was the first night I slept over at Niall's house. We didn't do it or anything. It's just Niall could see how tired I was after; going to my friends house, being ditched for a boyfriend, getting worried, getting scared and nearly crashing my car. He carried me upstairs, holding me close to his chest and walking extra slowly. He laid me down on the bed not bothering to get undressed and got in with me wounding his arms tight around my waist.

The thing is, we should have had it that night. That night was supposed to be special and it wasn't all because of one person. Stupid, horrible, possessive, hatred filled Tyler. He was a bastard and I know hate is a strong word but I really did hate him and if he was on fire, I wouldn't even spit on him. He was a waste of time, space, energy and love and I seriously wish I had never met him. Nothing could take away the painful, hurtful memories he had left me with. Not anything.

I made a promise to myself that night just as I sleepily closed my eyes. I would not let anything come between me and Niall. I would not let anything break us up. Niall and I had something special, everyone said it. But it was more than special to me. It was true love and I wanted to be with Niall forever and I promised myself I would try my level best to keep our love.

Tyler was going to attempt to break us up.

And he was going to epically fail.
