My New Step-Brother (A Niall Horan/1D fanfic)

Chapter 24 ~ Change Is Good

*Zayn's POV*

I open my eyes to reveal a beautiful girl laying next to me. All the memories from last night started to flood back to my mind. The kiss, when I ask her to be my girlfriend, and when we said I love you to each other. That was the first time I said I love you to someone, that I actually love. I grab my phone from my pocket and look at the time. 9:30 am. This is the first time I wake up this early by myself. I look over to Emma, her lips parted as soft snorts escaped her mouth. She's just so beautiful. I'm really sad that I'm going to leave her in two weeks, I'm going to miss every inch of her body. Her hair, her purple eyes, her cute little freckles. I keep looking at her and that's when I notice her forearm. Old marks of cuts are clearly seen. Why would she cut? Did she get bullied before? Then I notice it, at the very beginning of her wrist, there's a cut that looks fresh and new. I'm going to ask her when she wakes up.

"You're starring" I hear her voice say.

"Just are just so beautiful" I whisper.

"It's creepy" she mumbles as she sits, and I sit just like her.

I grab her wrist and stare at it "Why would you do this?" I ask. She grabs the tip of her sweater pulling it down, so I'm not able to see her cuts.

"I was going through a rough time and I thought this was the only way I was going to forget about it" she stopped and tears formed in her eyes, "after a while, everytime I felt sad or some kind of problem was going on at my house. I will just cut. Then Gaby found out and she took me to a therapist, and that's when I stopped"

"What about this one?" I ask lifting her sleeve showing the red one, that looked fresh.

"That was last week, I read a tweet saying that I should kill myself. I felt so bad that I grabbed one of Gaby's sharpest knives and made the cut" she said crying. I pull her close to me and she rests her head against my chest.

I start to pet her, and small sobs escaped her mouth. "Everything is going to be fine" I said, giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Let's go back to the house, everyone must be wondering where we are" I stand up giving her my hand to help her stand up. We entwined our fingers and we walk hand in hand to my car.

*Harry's POV*

I wake up to see myself in the bed alone. I get out of the bed, and smell pancakes. I grab some sweats from the drawer, and jog downstairs. I enter the kitchen, to find Niall eating a big pile of pancakes. But Gaby is nowhere to be seen.

"Morning Harry" Niall says with his mouth stuffed.

"Hello"

"Did anything happen between you and Gaby last night?" I froze with his words, did he hear anything? Did Louis tell him something?

"No. Why?"

"You have sex hair" he smirks pointing at my hair. "I'm not mad. I just hope that my little sister isn't just another girl"

"She's not" I reply. "She's special"

Gaby walks inside, in her knit crop sweater, and her black shorts. I'm sure she didn't notice me, because she completly ignored me and walked up to Niall.

"Did you like your pancakes?" she asks, pulling her hair up in a bun.

"They were delicious" he answers handing his plate to her and Gaby puts it in the dishwasher. I walk to her and tap her shoulder.

"Morning, babe" I say, pecking her nose.

"Morning" she replies, turning around and walking to the living room. I follow her, and sit down next to her. She turns on the TV and puts Teen Wolf on. I really don't know how girls can like this shows. They are just so stupid. Well I shouldn't actually be saying anything about pathetic shows, since I was watching The Vampire Diaries yesterday.
