To Kill Him || N.H (AU)

Eight

It's a brand new day, once again. The first thing my eyes land on is a crying Niall. He looks terribly worried.

"Niall," I call out.  Niall doesn't flinch when I say his name. He just cries out and rests his head in his hands. I yawn and stretch my limbs as I always do in the morning. My eyes are fully open, but my consciousness remains asleep.

"Niall, why are you crying? It's so early in the morning?" I spoke softly. I am quite tired and it's taking all of the power within me not to fall back asleep. My eyes flutter shut, but they snap back open as someone embraces me. It's Niall. He instantly begins sobbing into my shoulder. I really want to know what's wrong.

I hug him back, but quickly begin to feel uncomfortable. The only guy that has ever been this close to me is Zayn, and even then, he has never given me a true hug. I begin to squirm as he squeezes me even harder. Even though this could just make things worse, I shove him off of me. He doesn't need to hug me. We're strangers. He has no right to be more than an inch away from me.

"Victoria, thank goodness you're alive!" Niall continues to sob. I begin to feel confused. Of course I'm alive. What made him think I died? What went on while I was asleep?

"What are you even talking about?"

"There's a pool of blood on the sheets where you slept." I froze hearing his words.  I felt my heart beat pick up as heat crept to my cheeks. I'm praying that this isn't what I think it is. I sit up and let my feet dangle off the bed. I slowly turn my head and find blood stains, right where I slept. I bit my lip and turn my head back around, as slowly as I could, and looked. I have never been more embarrassed in my entire life.

"I thought you were bleeding because you got shot." I bit my lip even harder. I have no idea how to explain this to Niall.

"Niall, get out of the bed right now!"

"Bu-"

"Now!" I shout out of frustration. Lucky for me, he obeys.  I get out of bed as well and pull the sheets off with me. I suddenly felt pain in my abdomen and bend over; attempting to ease the pain. I almost scream when I feel something come out of me. I casually walk to the bathroom, trying not to make a scene. Niall, being Niall, follows me out of the room.

I still feel so embarrassed. I'm sure my face is getting redder by the second. Why? Why Niall? Out of all the people that could possibly see me like this, why does it have to be Niall?

I step into the bathroom and remove all of my clothing. I hop in the shower and turn the water on. My hands cover on my face as I sob aloud. I'm such a disgrace in the female population! Why do I need to have my period at this point of time, especially when I have to share a bed with a person of the opposite sex?!

"Hey Victoria, are you alright? Do you need anything?" Hearing his voice made me cry even harder. I am so embarrassed. I wish I could just dig a hole and hide there until I die. I don't want to see a single face right now, especially not Niall.

"It's okay. Please don't cry. I understand. Now, what's that white thing called again?" He asks me, making me cry, louder than ever. I probably will stay in this bathroom for the rest of my life. "Well... Okay, I guess I'll just ask the people on the convenience store.  I'll be right back. I'll go get you some of those thingys."

The cold water continues to slide down my bare body. The little shower I am taking has turned into a full blown shower. My entire body is now soaked. I decide to stay in the shower for a while longer, wasting even more water.

Mood swings start to hit me. I feel so emotional, and these damn cramps aren't helping. At this point, I am still crying. I wish I could just forget about this day and pretended that nothing happened.
