Double Life© (Niall Horan fanfic) COMPLETED

Chapter thirty five

My eyes fluttered open slowly as bright light shined through the curtain-less windows. I squinted them before adjusting to the sudden light change.




I brought my hands up to rub the salt away from my eyes and to wake up slightly. I felt a pair of arms tighten around my waist pulling me closer. A small groan escaped his perfect lips and he scrunched his eyebrows up pulling me even closer, if that was possible.




I turned my head slightly looking away from him and over to the small watch I had set on the nightstand.




9:00.




Ugh.




What is it with me and waking up at 9.




Oh well.




I closed my eyes in attempt to fall back asleep only for them to open again at the sound of glass shattering.




I furrowed my brows in confusion slowly sitting up only to be jerked back down by strong arms. His face snuggled deeper into my back.




I let out a small giggle at his silly behavior. I heard some loud noises coming from downstairs again. I turned my head towards the door hearing the handle jiggle slightly.




I laid my head back against the pillow closing my eyes enough for no one to notice them being slightly open. They were open enough for me to see the tall figure standing at the doorway.





Harry stood there his eyes locking on me before letting out a loud sigh. It sounded as if he was relieved at the sight of me.




Strange.




He closed the door walking out into the hallway again. I opened my eyes rolling over completely facing Niall. I raised my hand up to his face gently holding his cheek as my thumb rubbed it softly. I removed it and laid my head on his chest snuggling closer to him.




He was so warm and I felt completely safe no matter how many people were out to kill me at the moment.




I smiled into his chest as I felt a warm breath fan over my head as his lips laid a soft kiss there.




"Good morning, princess."




"Morning." I mumbled into his chest refusing to lift my head from the comfortable position I found myself to be in.




I felt him smile against my hair and a chuckle escaped his lips. He wrapped his arms tighter around my waist, giving me a hug then releasing me.




I whimpered as his body wiggled free from underneath me. He laughed as I continued to whimper and pat my hands around the bed looking hopelessly for him with my eyes closed.




I felt an arm wrap around my waist and one under my legs lifting me into the air. I curled my head into his chest smiling slightly as warmth ran through my chilled bones again.





He chuckled again and began walking down the stairs before arriving at the kitchen. He placed me down on a chair at the large round wooden table in the dining room that was open to the kitchen.




I groaned as I lost his warmth again, slowly opening my eyes. They widened as I looked around me.




"What the hell happened?!" I yelled at Louis who was cleaning up the broken plates from the tile floor.




He looked up at me then down continuing to sweep.




"There was a small fight and a plate fell." He said as if it wasn't anything bad.




"Fight?" I questioned looking around the table to see Liam sitting up and wiping some blood from his nose.




Harry was sat beside him with bloody knuckles. "Ya someone came through the door and they fought them off. They've already found us."




I blinked a couple times. "How?" I whispered only loud enough for me to hear because I was merely talking to myself.




"We are going to ask a friend of ours for some weapons."




I nodded still looking down fiddling with my hands in my lap nervously.




A warm hand grasped onto mine pulling it away from my lap. He placed a sweet kiss to the back of it and spoke.




"Everything will be ok. I won't let them hurt you."




I nodded and laid my head down into his side giving him a hug. He hugged me back in assurance kissing the top of my head.




"I love you."




I smiled and looked up meeting his eyes. "I love you too."




He smiled widely kissing my forehead. I heard a cough causing me to lift my head and look at Harry.




"He'll be here tonight with supplies. I suppose we should search this place for a safe spot."




I nodded my head slightly, tears burning in my eyes at the thought of seeing Eric alive flashed across my mind.




Watching a person die, well 'die', and then to see them alive and trying to kill you rips your heart from your chest and crumbles it into pieces before jumping up and down on it.




I shook the thought away and took a deep breath. Niall still had ahold of my hand giving it a gentle squeeze.




I looked up into his hypnotizing blue eyes smiling slightly. He returned the favor and Louis interrupted us this time.




"You hungry?"




"Yes."




I stood up pulling Niall with me into the kitchen. "What do you want?"




He rubbed his chin and put on a fake thinking face.




I giggled and he smiled widely before responding. "Cereal?"




I nodded and opened the cabinet taking out the cereal and two bowls. I set them on the counter before pouring the cereal into each bowl and placing it back in the cabinet.




As I reached for spoons I jumped slightly as a milk carton was placed next to the bowls and two strong arms wrapped around my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder tilting it slightly placing a kiss to my neck and looking at the food.




I hummed slightly and smiled while pouring the milk into the bowls. He released me when I gave him his bowl and put the milk away grabbing my bowl on my way to the table.




We ate in comfortable silence then a thought hit me.




"Where is the guy now?"




"He ran off."




I nodded my head slowly in a bit of shock as I shoveled the last bite of cereal into my mouth. Louis took our bowls putting them in the sink and came back to the table sitting across from me.




"Don't worry love, we will protect you." He said assuringly.





I looked up smiling slightly looking around to all the faces.




"Thank you all so much for everything."




They all nodded and smiled.




The door burst open revealing a tall man.
