I looked in the mirror once again. I was kind of obsessed with the mirror. I wasn't perfect and I knew that. But still somehow I was pleased by looking at the mirror again and again. I was happy because of the fact that my scars were fading away.

I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed the plate of cookies that I'd baked for the boys. I thought I'd knock but I heard some murmuring from the other side. Why not eavesdrop, huh?

"We know she has scars Niall. She doesn't have to put so much of make up when she's around us" Harry said.

"I don't blame her though. She's just insecure" Niall said.

"Yes but that doesn't mean she cakes on her makeup" Louis said.

"People are going to think she puts too much of makeup just to attract boys" Zayn said.

"That's not true, you and I know it" Niall defended.

"Yes, but what about the world?" Harry said.

"Like when are you planning to go official with her? Are you sure her scars will fade away till then?" Louis asked.

"I don't know and I don't care" Niall said. I could feel him getting a little angry.

I knew they were just worried and didn't intend anything bad but I was still hurt. Couldn't they just not talk about my problem?

I finally knocked on the door and there was complete silence in the room.

"I just got cookies for you guys" I said with the sweetest smile.

"Thank you" the boys all said in unison, passing me a smile in return.

"Umm I'll just be in my room if you guys need me" I said moving towards the door.

"But why not stay here with us?" Niall asked.

"I just want to have some alone time Ni" I mumbled.

"Okay" was all he said. But I knew that he knew that I heard what the boys said.

I anyways moved back to my room. I plugged in my earphones to my phone and listened to a lot of songs. Music had been my stress booster for as long as I could remember myself.

Soon it was night time. I changed into my PJ's and crawled under the covers.

Just then I felt a pair of lips pressed to my head.

"Hey" I said giggling.

But he didn't say anything, just kept kissing me again and again.

"Niall stop it" I said still giggling.

"Nah" He said giving me a cheeky smile.

He scooted closer towards me and engulfed me in a hug. His scent was so good. I felt dizzy so I shut my eyes.

Just as I was about to doze off Niall said, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you being sorry Niall?" I asked him.

"I know you heard what the boys said" He said and sighed.

"You don't need to be sorry Niall. You were just defending me" I said as a small smile plastered my face.

"Yes but I know how much you hate talking about it,  discussing it or even having to hear people talk about it. I'm really sorry again princess" Niall said.

"It doesn't bother me anymore Niall. And you don't need to be sorry for what you've not done" I replied.

"I just don't want you to be hurt princess. Not even a teeny weeny bit" Niall said.

Now this was one of the infinite reasons why I loved him.

"I think we should sleep now Ni" I mumbled

"Hmmmm" He said burying his face in my hair.

The next morning I woke up in an empty bed. Niall must've just gone for a stroll.

I unlocked my phone to find long 'sorry' messages from the boys. Even from Liam who didn't even say a thing.

"Oh Niall" I said and let out a little laugh.


A/N: So I wrote in first person for a change.
