Double Life© (Niall Horan fanfic) COMPLETED

Chapter thirty four

I gasped slightly taken aback unable to form words as they spoke again. "I've been expecting you."

I took a deep breath and replied a little shakily. "W-who are you?"

A deep chuckle filled the room. "You know who I am?"

I furrowed my brows. "Why don't you show me who you are?"

Another chuckle filled the air as they stood with their back facing me. I blinked rapidly trying to form any words as they turned around.

His chocolate brown eyes glistened with happiness as he smiled widely. His brown hair swept over his face and he brushed it out of the way. He stood tall his tight shirt exposing his toned abs and chest.

"L-Liam." I said slightly above a whisper taking a step back looking at him with a shaky breath.

"Yep. How are you and Niall?"

My eyes widened. "How d-did? But?" I stuttered confused and slightly frustrated.

I ran my fingers through my long curly hair slightly pulling at the ends.

"I know everything, babe."

"Don't call me that." I growled, averting my gaze to the floor coming in contact with his brown eyes as he stared intently into my green ones.

"Uh. Oh. Someone's angry." He mocked causing me to let out another low growl.

"You won't like me when I'm angry."

He laughed. "Alright 'hulk'" he emphasized the word 'hulk' with air quotations.

"What do you want?"

He sighed exaggeratedly and shook his head with a smile while looking down. "I'm actually here to help this time."

I let out a laugh of annoyance. "Ya like the time you 'helped' me and Eric." I referred back to the past causing him to tense and let out a grown.

"That wasn't my fault."

I laughed again shortly before responding with some sass. "Oh so setting my boyfriend's leg on fire by 'accident' while setting up a dinner wasn't your fault." I emphasized 'accident' as I know he did it on purpose.

"I was only trying to protect you."

I rolled my eyes. "Protect me from what, Liam?"

"From what he is today."

My face fell and I looked down. The old tassels on the rug suddenly becoming interesting as I felt tears brim my eyes with the thought of Eric out to kill me. I heard footsteps but refused to look up.

He sighed heavily and put his hand under my chin lifting my head to meet his gaze. It was filled with sadness and regret, yet he had a hint of hope in them.

"I'm sorry."

I nodded and held my tears in standing tall as he dropped his hand from my face. He has a slight sympathetic smile on his face as he stares at me.

"Who's this?!" I heard a voice boom from behind me causing me to whip around in surprise.

Niall stood in the doorway arms crossed. His muscles bulged as he clenched his fists and his jaw tensed as he tightened it. He stared at me with sadness then looked at Liam with anger.

I stared into his hypnotizing blue eyes before looking at the ground. I closed my eyes as a tear slipped out unwillingly.

"My brother."
