Let Me In // Niall Horan AU

2 Months Later... January 2014 

Niall's POV

"Liam Payne, you are fined guilty on the counts of sexual abuse and money laundering, and you're sentenced to 10-15 years in prison, case closed" the judge claims before slamming the mallet. 

Anyways, Liam finally has been founded guilty, and during the process my lawyers also found out that he has been laundering money. Not only has Liam been abusing my Elena, but he has been selling drugs throughout the world. 

The proceeds that he has gained from dealing, he transfers his money to foreign banks, which seem to them to be legal since they don't know exactly where all his money comes from, but really it just saves their asses just incase they get caught that the money will be safe. Now since Liam's drug money has been taken away, he's no longer as rich as he was before. Do not get me wrong the lad is still rich as hell, he just lost a big portion of it. 

As for Elena. She has not said a word throughout this whole court case. Of course she had to speak on the stand, but besides that she avoided to talk as much as she possibly could. It was so hard to see her in such a emotional position. The only thing that pulled me, maybe both of us through this process, was when everything she spoke, she made direct eye contact with me the whole time. 

There was so many times I wanted to go up to her after a court day and pull her into an embrace, but I couldn't. Harry would have my balls in his hands, which I understand in this case. I don't want to put her through more stress than what she was already in. 

As everyone poured outside, I waited paitently for Elena to come out. I have waited two long months to speak to her, I need to hear her same my name, I need to feel her touch, and mostly importantly I just need her to be in my life again. Not just for a short while like before, but a long term. 

I keep checking my phone, it bloody cold outside,and I am freezing my arse off. I see the doors open and I see her walk out with her head down.  

Without chocking on my words I say her name, "Elena," she immediately looks towards the direction of my voice. 

Her hazel eyes are watery and life less. 

"What, Niall?" she questions, wiping her eyes with a tissue. 

"I just want to talk," I whisper gently.

She rolls her eyes and looks behind her as if she is waiting for someone. I took this opportunity to move a bit closer to her; hopefully without her even noticing. 

She motions her attention back on me and by her expression of raising her eyebrow, she took notices how close I got. 

"I'm waiting for Harry, so you have until he shows up," she asserts. 

I took a deep breath. "First I would like to say that I am glad that this all went well and now you're well and you can go on without any worries in your life," she nods her head and looks around in random place, obviously trying to avoid eye contact, but I also know that my words are not the words she wants to hear.

"I know that you hate me after I left you during this hard time, but Elena-" 

"I miss you, Niall" she whimpers and covers her face with her hands. 

For a moment I am in shock by her words. She misses me, as I miss her. Without her consent, I wrapped her body around mine. Elena does not even try to fight it, she even brings her arms around my waist. Holding onto me rather tightly; this is what I have been waiting for these past two months.
