Millie's POV

''But DAD.'' I frowned. Why is he always like this? It's felt like forever since I've been allowed out and he does this to me? ''I'm sorry Millie, but I don't know this boy. And you've just met him recently. How can you suddenly agree to go out with him?'' ugh. He never understands. I mean, ever since the incident I wouldn't go out no matter how hard he made me. And now, when I want to go out with Niall, he stops me. ''But Dad. He's NIALL HORAN from One Direction. He's mega famous, I mean what kind of rapist or whatever is famous?'' I stopped talking instantly. That one word stopped me. Rapist. My dad sighed slowly. ''Millie, I just don't want a repeat of what happened before. You locked yourself in your room for days, and cut yourself so much, I can't believe you have so little scars.'' I hid my scars underneath my jumper. ''Dad... Maybe this is a sign, maybe there's more to life than just breathing. Please. Please let me take this chance. And if it fails then, you can stick me in the nearest mental hospital.'' I joked. He smiled and nodded slowly. The pain showing in his eyes. I hugged him tightly. We just stood there like that. Holding each other, holding onto the past. He squeezed me suddenly and said ''I will always protect you Millie. I will till the day I die. And if this Niall hurts you, if he hurts my baby girl, I will hunt him down, and snap his neck.'' I kissed his forehead and smiled as I skipped to my room and tried to hunt down an outfit. Since all that I got out was a tank top and a pair of jeans, I vowed I'd go shopping more often. ''Where's my money?'' I said out loud. And as if by magic, my dad appeared and handed me 2 £50 pound bills. Fresh out of the bank. ''Been saving this for a rainy day, and I figured you'd have to pick a dress out for your date with Niall.'' I smiled and hugged him again and grabbed my bag and beanie and walked out the door.

-A few hours later-

Who knew finding a dress was THIS hard? I tried on what felt like a million dresses and some were too boring and most were too revealing. I checked every designer shop with huge hope but ended up with nothing. Suddenly, a shop caught my eye. it looked pretty with its white border and pretty, pink flowers outside. I wondered why no girls my age shopped here. Sighing I entered the shop and looked around. An old lady hobbled and look at me kindly ''Hello dear,'' she smiled at me, to which I smiled back. ''How may I help you?'' She seemed so sweet and kind, yet so old. I wanted to look after her, and her very pretty shop since from the inside the place was a mess, with shoes dropped around and some dresses out of their hangars. ''I'm looking for a dress.'' I said. She smiled at me sadly, I felt so sorry for her. ''Well be my guest and look around my dear, but I'm afraid no ones touched much of this stuff. It's all my old stuff that I wore back in the day. Since I can't wear much of it no matter how much I wanted to, I opened this shop. But I haven't got much business since most of those new, hip shops sell out those revealing clothes.'' I smiled fondly. I had a feeling this lady and I were going to be great friends. While I cleaned the store and tried to bring in as many costumers as possible, Erin (that's the old lady's name.) searched the whole store for the perfect dress for me to wear. I told Erin everything about Niall and she nodded and understood everything. After what seemed like forever, Erin called me over, her fragile voice shouting. I came over as soon as possible, and in her arms, was the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. I handed both £50 bills to her straight away. She looked at me and held my hand. ''Dear, this dress is the most special to me. I wore this dress when I met my husband,'' she said, tears coming out. ''Please, take it for free. It's for all your help. You sold nearly half of my shoes and some of the dresses.'' She smiled slowly, tears still streaming out. I hugged her close as she cried harder. ''You're an angel my dear, and angel sent to me. Don't you ever change for anyone.'' I shook my head and smiled. I took the dress as Erin put it in a bag and waved goodbye, promising her to visit every other day or whenever I could. I was ready for my date with Niall. All this effort for Niall, I never realised what was about to come.
