The Boy Who Gave Me Hope (Niall Horan Fan-fiction.)

Chapter 8

Stacy’s POV-

It’s been a few weeks since me the Starbucks and ever since me and Niall have been hanging out a lot more. He is really the only boy I’ve ever felt… comfortable with. I usually don’t really talk to guys or give them chances because honestly; having a relationship was kind of the last thing I wanted. But I won’t deny, I’m slowly falling for Niall. When we hangout it’s so, different. I’m not the shy awkward girl people know me as. I can be myself around him. I got snapped out of my thoughts when I was called on by my 3rd hour teacher.

“Stacey? Answer the question.” I blushed and realized I was distracted by Niall. Shit. “Um, what was the question again?” she sighed and moved on. I slumped down in my seat and kept focused the rest of the class.

The bell finally rang signaling lunch and I ran to my locker. Niall’s was only a few away from mine so I figured I’d walk with him too lunch. I finally finished putting my books away and locked my locker. Walking down the hall I heard whistles and turned around. It was the same group of guys who were hanging around with Luke on the first day. I scoffed and felt a hand grab mine. I jumped slightly before I realized I was just Niall. I sighed in relief and he glared at the group of guys standing against the wall

“Ignore them; they think they’re all that when in reality, nobody can really stand them.” Niall growled. His features softened when he realized he was still holding my hand. For once, Niall was the one blushing. That quickly changed back into anger once he realized Luke was walking towards us.

“What do you want?” Niall spit the words out directly to Luke. Luke smirked and turned towards me. “I actually came over here for her.” He pointed to me. Niall’s grip tightened at the words. “Can we talk, alone?” Luke asked me while smiling which only infuriated Niall more.  “U-um, yeah sure?” I walked with Luke over to the other side of the lunch room where he was sitting. I noticed he was with all the guys from earlier. They smirked at me, and turned away.

“So, I was wondering if you’d like to be my lab partner for 5th hour.” I didn’t really have anyone I talked to in that class, so I agreed to it. Through the whole conversation, I could feel Niall’s intense stare on the both of us. “Ok, sounds good. Come over my place after school? I’ll text you the directions.” I nodded and went to walk away before realizing Luke was leaning in for a hug goodbye.

Luke’s POV -

I was facing Niall through the hug and I winked at him. That drove him insane. His jaw was clenched as well as his fists. He was storming over here, but before he could get to us the hug ended and Stacey headed back to Niall. Niall glared at me before leading Stacey to the other side of the lunch room.

“Did she agree to go over your house?” My friends asked. I chuckled. “She did.” I smirked. This should be interesting.  Just another way to get to Niall.

I was home waiting for Stacey to get here. I was beyond bored. I went into the kitchen to find something to snack on before I heard a knock on the door. Finally she was here. I only was wearing sweats and no shirt. I had a body, why not show it off?

“Hey! You’re here. We can go in my room and study.” I smiled. She nodded and followed me up the stairs. All I had to do was get her to tell me some things about Niall. Or anything that I could do to just get even with him. She took her books out and I mentally cursed at myself. All day I was thinking about ways to get her to tell me things; I forgot to grab my biology books. “Could we share books? I forgot mine at school.” She nodded and I scooted closer to her. It was actually sort of awkward considering how close we were sitting.

Occasionally our arms or thighs would brush and she would blush because of the skin contact. I could tell she was shy, which only made this much harder than I thought.

“So, are you and Niall close now?” She smiled and nodded. “Yeah, he’s really nice.” She told me. I could tell she liked Niall. It was obvious. It was also obvious that Niall liked her too. Which brought me to the idea, if Stacey were to get hurt, it would affect him too…

“So, Stacey, tell me about yourself.” I smiled at her. She told me about how she likes soccer and how she wasn’t born in Florida, she just moved here. None of this was useful.

She lifted her arm up to her ear to brush her hair behind her hair. That’s when I noticed something. Her sleeve lipped down just enough for me to notice, she had scars covering her delicate skin. Some weren’t even scars, they were new. Stacey self-harmed ….

She noticed me looking and jumped up from her spot. “I-I Should g-go now.” She turned to walk out but I grabbed her for-arm. She Shook free and ran out. That’s when it hit me. I have something to hurt Niall with.
