My Good Luck Charm

Chapter 19

I felt Niall tense up behind me. I Leaned back down on his chest, and entwinded our fingers together. I pecked his lips, which made him calm down a bit.

"Well I gotta get going. Just thought I'd drop by and bring you the news" Blake said, getting up and putting his shoes back on. "Yeah thanks bro" Niall replied, and we both stood up, and they shook hands.

"Thank you Blake" I added, and he slightly smiled. "You're welcome" He replied, and he pulled Niall away from me for a split second. I faintly over heard their conversation, but it was loud enough so I could hear what Blake had to say.

"You protect her with everything you got." I seen Niall nod at his words. "I won't let anything happen to her" Niall's answer left me hanging a bit. He won't let anything happen to me. I smiled to myself.

"See ya guys later then!" Blake announced, and he walked out the door.

I placed myself back on the couch, and Niall sat beside me pulling my body closer to his. "So" I said, and looked up at Niall, smiling. "So.." He trailed off. I giggled, and he pecked my nose.

"You never told me much about your family" He mumbled into the crook of my neck. I closed my eyes and my breathing Increased. I couldn't talk about my family, it was hard. My childhood wasn't the greatest at all.

"Ari?" He questioned. I guess I must've zoned out or something. "Hmm?" I answered, and he looked at me, confused.

"Why don't you tell me about your family" He repeated. I tensed up at his words. "Um" Was all I could manage to get out.

Niall shook his head. "I'm sorry. I guess I shouldn't of asked that question." He stated and I unfolded my arms. "No, I'll tell you" I finally was able to say. I haven't opened up to anyone about my family problems besides Lauren. So, this might be tough.

I took a deep breath in, and Niall rubbed his thumb on my hand. "Okay, well. I started dancing when I was four, and it's always been a dream to continue and do that. It's really fun. But I had to move dance schools because I moved here in Seattle."

I looked over at Niall who was watching, and listening carefully. "Where did you live before that?"

"Canada. And I moved here when I was about fifteen so we lived here for only four years. Then, my parents got in a massive fight, and we left my dad. We tried to move out of town but he just stopped us" I felt tears coming in at the corner of my eyes, but I fought the need to let them slip.

Niall squeezed my hip and I shreiked. He looked at me, and chuckled. I smiled lightly and started on with my story.

"My dad hurt my sister that same night, she tried to squrim out of his grasp but he didn't move" I closed my eyes and leaned on Niall's chest.

"My brother punched my dad when he saw this. He couldn't hold it in anymore. I was happy when my brother nearly knocked him out, but then he left after he did. I didn't see him or my sister anywhere."

Niall kissed my temple and I breathed in. "You don't have to go on" He mumbled and I shook my head. "I will. I'm ready to tell you the rest" He slightly smiled against my skin, and I continued.

"After three years, my sister decided to come down to visit since she was in collage. But, she didn't show up that night" I started to cry and Niall held me close.

I didn't like to think, or talk about this topic. It always got me worked up, and I felt like I was going to blow up. "She got in a terrible accident on the way here" I said, between my quiet sobs. Niall kissed my cheek.

"And my brother, I don't know where he is. He could be dead, or he could even have a family by now. No one knows."

Niall turned my head to face him, and connected our lips together. We moved our lips in sync, and his tongue brushed against my bottom lip. I parted my lips and the kiss and the kiss lasted about a few seconds. I pulled away, and smiled as I leaned our foreheads together.

"I love you" Niall mumbled, and I ran my hands through his golden locks. He smiled. "I love you more" I responded. He picked me up and he stretched, me doing the same.

"Harry's having a party tonight. So we're gonna go there" I nodded and smiled. I couldn't wait to see the boys and their girlfriends. I have actually grown really close to them.

"Well I'm going to get ready then" I said, and jogged up the stairs and into Niall's room. I opened the bottom drawer, and picked out a pair of legends and a light blue blouse. I brought the clothes in the bathroom, and changed. I looked in the mirror, and took out my ponytail, putting the elastic around my wrist.

I grabbed the brush that was sitting on the counter, and brushed out my hair. Once I was done that, I put my hair in a french braid. I never really liked my hair down, only because when I was younger, there was this kid in my class and he had head lice. Now I'm paranoid because of that.

I skipped down the stairs and Niall was on his MacBook, and sipping out of his juice. I smiled, and jumped on the opposite couch.

"Why are you so far away" He pouted, fake crying. I hid my head in my lap and bursted out laughing. "What time is the party?" I questioned and sat beside him looking at his screen, calming down.

He scrolled down his news feed on twitter, before turning his attention to me. "In about an hour or so"

I nodded and laid my head down on the head of the couch. My eyes started to get heavier and heavier, until Niall's home phone started ringing which made me jump.

Niall got up, and looked at me confused. "No one usually calls this phone" He mumbled, picking it up and answering.

"Hello" He questioned and sat back down, looking at his laptop.

"Wait what? Her mum is in the hospital?" He said and placed his Mac on the coffee table. I jumped up and looked at him with worried eyes. I seen Niall bite his lip, and his muscles started to show.

My body started shaking, and I knew something was up. Niall hung up the phone and looked at me, and his face expression changing from sad to anger.

"Remember what Blake said." Niall fumed and his jaw clenched. I slowly nodded, not trusting what my voice would come out as.

"Its your mum"
