My Muted Music Love

Chapter Eight

Chapter 8

Elizabeth

I wake up to Niall unbuckling my seat belt and gently picking me up bridal style and carrying me to wherever he wants me to be. He fumbles with the door knob a bit before opening the door and walking in, shutting it behind himself. He walks up a flight of stairs and goes into a room and lays me down on a soft surface.

He then leaves and comes back with a wet cloth and some bandages. He cleans up all of the dried blood and cuts and bandages them up. He dabs my bruises with them and I wince a bit, but made sure he didn't notice. Once he was done he put back the rest of the bandages and the cloth and came back with a large shirt and a pair of boxers.

"Um... I brought you something to wear, but I don't have any girl clothes. Is this alright with you?" He questions, his cheeks turning pink. I smile and nod my head, wincing at the action.

He smiles back and helps me sit up before pulling off my jacket and my shirt, his face getting redder by the minute. He slips the shirt over my bra and takes of my shoes and jeans. He helps me get the boxers on before looking at me and smiling at the results.

"I actually like you wearing my clothes." He says more to himself causing me to blush and look down. He chuckles a bit before plopping himself next to me and asking what I would like to do. My stomach growls before I am able to reply and Niall grins before hopping off of the bed and picking me up.

"I'm pretty hungry as well." He says before taking us to what I assume is the kitchen. He sits me down on one of the stools and starts digging in the fridge for food. Once he pulls out all of the ingredients he needs, he makes three sandwiches. He puts everything back and hands me a sandwich. I smile at him and take a bite of the sandwich. I don't usually eat very much food so the sandwich ended up filling up my stomach before I finished it.

"Aren't you gonna finish that? You need to eat something." Niall asks worriedly and I give him a small smile before forcing myself to finish the rest of the sandwich. I look at Niall to see he finished his second one and he leans back on his chair and rubs his stomach before burping. I scrunch up my nose and let out a silent laugh. He sees me 'laugh' and starts laughing too. I grin at him, enjoying his laugh. We calm down after a while and just look at each other.

"So, do you wanna watch a movie?" I nod my head and jump down from the stool. My legs automatically wobble a bit and Niall puts my arm over his shoulder and helps me walk back to his room. I sit on his bed and he finds a good film to watch and puts it into the television. He hops on the bed and puts his arm over my shoulder, pulling me into him. I curl up next to him and face the television. After about an hour I get tired and fall asleep in Niall's arms, feeling comfortable.

I wake up suddenly in a cold sweat. I had another nightmare. The same one I've had for years now. I try to regulate my breathing and fail. I usually am able to forget about the nightmare, even if it's just for a moment. But this time all I can see and think about is my parents. I start to shake and rock back and forth, trying to calm myself down when I hear Niall's voice.

"Elizabeth?" He says groggily before pulling himself up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He looks at me before gently pulling me towards him and wiping the tears from my face. I didn't even notice I was crying. He continued to hold me, rocking us back and forth until I calmed down.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I just nod my head and give him a shaky reassuring smile. He lets go of me and puts up one finger, signalling for me to wait and goes to get something from the other side of the room. He pulls out a guitar and sits back down on the bed. He quickly tunes his guitar before playing a soft tune.

"Settle down with me. Cover me up, cuddle me in. Lie down with me, and hold me in your arms. And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck. I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet. And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now.

Kiss me like you wanna be loved. You wanna be loved, you wanna be loved. This feels like falling in love, falling in love. We're falling in love." He started singing, surprising me with how amazing his voice is.

"Settle down with me, and I'll be your safety. You'll be my lady. I was made to keep your body warm. But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms. Oh no. My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck. I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet. And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now.

Kiss me like you wanna be loved. You wanna be loved, you wanna be loved. This feels like falling in love, falling in love. We're falling in love." He continues to sing sweetly, causing a smile to spread across my face.

"Yeah I've been feeling everything from hate to love, from love to lust, from lust to truth. I guess that's how I know you. So I hold you, close to help you give it up. So kiss me like you wanna be loved. You wanna be loved, you wanna be loved. This feels like falling in love, falling in love. We're falling in love. Kiss me like you wanna be loved. You wanna be loved, you wanna be loved. This feels like falling in love, falling in love. We're falling in love." He finishes with one last strum of his guitar.

He puts his guitar down and I wrap my arms around him. Wincing a bit at the pain, but try not to make it noticable. Niall loosely wraps his arms around me, careful not to hurt me. We stayed in the embrace for a few minutes before I pulled away.

"Did that get your mind off of things?" He asked. So that's why he sang to me. I grinned and nodded my head.

"Good, now go to sleep. I'm tired." I nodded and laid back on the bed.

Niall pulled me to him and I fell asleep in his arms again.
