My safety blanket

Chapter 18

Nicole's POV

"Goooood morning boys!" I cooed walking into the kitchen and picked up one of the three plates that had bacon, eggs and French toast on it. "Good morning Nicole!" Liam said looking up from his plate of food.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Louis asked looking concerned. "I'm good thanks Lou." I smiled at him and sat down beside Harry.

"Thanks for breakfast" I looked to Harry knowing it would've been him. "No worries love." He smiled and took another mouthful of his toast.

The boys talked about what the plans for the day were going to be and I watched as Harry played with his bacon on the plate... what's up with him?

"Hey, are you ok?" i asked him quietly so the other boys wouldn't hear me. He turned to me and smiled weakly.

"I just wish that she would tell me so that I could help her but she's too stubborn." I sighed. Tiarna can be stubborn and I know for a fact that she doesn't like to tell everyone about her problems because she seems to think that no one really cares and that they're silly problems. I've always had this problem with her.

"Harry, she will tell you. I've known Tiarna for years and she still struggles to tell me everything. She will tell you when she's ready, you just need to let her know that you really do care about her and that you won't just ditch her or think that it's pathetic. She's a very strong girl but she can't always keep up the act. She'll come around when she's ready. Just be patient." I smiled at him and he smiled back with gratitude.

"Thank you Nicole" he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and hugged me.

"Oh and thanks for looking after my muffin head last night. She really did need someone and i'm glad it was you. She really likes you Harry, promise me you won't hurt her?"

"I promise, I could never do that to her. She's too special." I chuckled. "Special could be the word..." Laughter escaped from his mouth, "Yeah that's debatable"

"What's debatable?" I looked up and found a sleepy Tiarna walking through the kitchen.

"Good morning love" Harry smiled.

"Morning muffin head." I got up from my seat and made my way over to her and hugged her tightly. "You ok?" she hugged me back just as tightly.

"I'm splendid. Are you ok?" she let go and looked me over, running her fingers over the slight cut on my forehead.

"I'm perfectly fine" I smiled to her and pulled her over to the table, sitting in between Harry and I.

"What movie are we seeing again?" I asked Louis when he handed me a jumbo popcorn and a super large coke. "The conjuring" he smirked with a massive grin plastered on his face. "Carrots.." I mumbled silently cursing Louis for the choice of movie. I hate scary movies.

"Aww is little Nicky scared?" I cringed at the nickname while Louis pinched my cheeks and poked my nose. I let out a dry chuckle and swatted his hands away. "Pah-lease! I live for this reason." I quickly tired around and shuffled over to Tiarna hiding behind her arm. "Can we leave yet?" I whispered frantically.

"Oh little one. It's ok, I'll hold your hand" Tiarna laughed a little and hugged me.

"What's wrong babe?" Zayn walked over.

"Little nickoole here is scared"

"I am not!" I yelled and stood up straightening myself out.

"Oh Nicole, it's ok. I'll protect you.." Zayn and Tiarna laughed and I stood there wanting to throw my popcorn at them. "Stop laughing! Its not funny.." I sulked. "Aww love, don't get all sooky. We're sorry" Zayn kissed my cheek. "Well, I'm not" Tiarna laughed and I glared at her which made her just laugh more. I give up.
