One Kiss (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 18

Carlie's pov

It felt like the world was spinning around me. My vision was blurry and I would catch glimpses of people dancing. I took another sip of my drink and my vision only worsened. I felt a hand grab my arm and pull me, it dragged me up the stairs, I tried to stop, but whatever had it's grip on me was too strong. I was shoved onto something soft. A bed. I felt a heavy weight on top of my body, then I saw him. The face of the man that did this to me.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! " I screamed and screamed, but he wouldn't go away.

I opened my eyes and he was gone, I was still screaming then Harry busted through the door.

Harry's pov

I was half asleep when I heard faint screams coming from somewhere, the more I woke up the louder they got. It was Carlie. I jumped up and rushed as fast as I could to her room. I opened her door to see her laying on the bed screaming with her eyes wide open, I ran to her and it must have frightened her because she started to inch away from me. "it's me, Harry, everything's ok " she looked me up and down a few times as to confirm it really was me. I sat on the side of the bed and she wrapped her arms around my neck, it startled me but I soon brought my hands to rest on her back and I rubbed circles trying to calm her. She buried her face in the crook of my neck and just cried.

"he wouldn't stop... I couldn't get away " she mumbled in-between sobs. I simply dismissed her words assuming she just had a typical bad dream.

"it's ok, it's just a dream, it's just a dream "

"Is everything ok? " I heard a voice coming from the door and saw Niall and Jessica standing there, and Niall with an odd look on his face.

"yeah, just a bad dream, everything's ok now " I pulled Carlie off of me and laid her back down and pulled the sheet back over her.

"please Harry, stay here, I don't want to be alone " I don't know why she wanted me, we just met.

"Erm... ok "

"Harry, mate, can I talk to you in the hall for a sec? " Niall said giving me a death glare that kind of frightened me.

"yeah" I got up from the bed and turned back to Carlie before stepping out "I'll be right back "

Niall pulled me into the hall for our talk. "Harry, I told you... "

"I know, and I didn't, but I can't leave her alone right now, I don't even like her "

"why not? "

"hello? Have you not seen all this going on? " I made a bump shape over my stomach with my hands.

"well I didn't say you couldn't be friends just don't flirt with her "

"trust me, I won't " I patted Niall's shoulder then returned to Carlie's room.

I climbed in the bed and she was laying with her back to me. Once I got settled she rolled over and snuggled into my chest making my arms go around her. She breathed on my bare chest leaving goose bumps. It did feel wierd having her in my arms, I didn't want to like it, but for some reason I did. She shuffled around to get comfortable and the more her skin brushed mine, the more I tensed up. She soon got still and I quickly relaxed and fell asleep.

*morning May 25*

I opened my eyes to see Carlie still nestled in my chest. I carefully inched my way out of bed, being careful not to wake her, and I made my way downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw Niall with his arms locked around Jessica's waist and he was growling against her neck making her giggle, they didn't see me at first but I quickly made my presence known. "Geez, don't you think it's a bit early for that? " I walked to the counter and sat on the stool giving them a disgusted face. Niall just grinned at me and let go of her letting her finish cooking the eggs on the stove, he came over and sat on the stool beside me.
