Up and Away (A Niall Horan Fanific)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Somehow, Niall and I are able to make it through the park without getting mobbed by screaming fans. I mean, sure there were a couple of girl who would screech a little bit and probably take pictures of him and I for their blog, but other than that, nothing really happened. 

We pull into my driveway.

"Thanks Niall. I had fun today," I say. I had so much fun that I don't want it to end. 

"Me too. I hope we can do this again sometime." He says with a smirk.

"Yea," I smile and get out of the car. I walk up to my door, and wave goodbye to him. When the front door shuts, I sigh. I don't want to just let him leave. My hand reaches for the doorknob, and I open it. It's about a five second walk to Niall's car, which is still there. Niall rolls down his window.

"Want to come inside?" I ask.

"I thought you would never ask." He says.

We walk inside and see my mom and little brother Max sitting on the couch watching the television. Max is usually at my Dad's house. My mom and dad got divorced three years ago. My father had cheated on mom and I never wanted to see him again. Sometimes, my mom makes me go eat lunch with him or something, but we don't talk about anything. Max usually lives with Dad though.

"Max!" I say as he spots me and runs to hug me. 

"Cazzy!" Max calls me Cazzy becuase he used to not be able to pronounce my name correctly, and he's just called me that all of his life. He's eight now. 

"I missed you!"

"Me too!" Max comes out of our big embrace and looks at Niall. "Who is that Cazzy? He looks really familiar."

Niall laughs. "I'm Niall." He holds out his hand for Max to shake, which he does.

"Do you like soccer?" 

"Love it."

"What's your favorite food?"

"All of it."

"Do you like my sister?"

"Woah Max!" I cut in before Niall can answer. "This isn't an interrogation."
"Well," he starts. "I aprove of you."

I take Niall's hand and lead him upstairs. We go into my room and he colapses onto my bed. 

"You've got a cute little brother." Niall says.

"More like a devil."

"Cassie, I have a question."

"What?"

"You said that you loved Blake becuase he helped you with your problems." 

I sigh. When I turn around to face Niall, I see that he is looking at me. I close my eyes and clench my fists. C'mon Cassie. Just tell him. 

I open my eyes and walk towards my bedside table. I slide open the drawer, and take out the little box. My hands move towards my neck, and soon enough they're attachted to my key necklace. The key unlocks the box. I hand the box to Niall.

Niall takes the box like it's his treasure. He looks at me for approval to open it, and I nod my head. He gently brings the top up and looks inside the box. His face is expressionless.

Inside the box are blades. The ones I used when I felt like I didn't belong in the world. Under all of the blades though, is a note from Blake. Niall picks it up and reads it aloud.

Cassie,

You are the most beautiful, funny, amazing person that I have ever met. This box and key are my gift to you so you can realize that. You are a work of art, and even if you don't think that you belong to this world, I do. And I hope that you will soon realize that too. I love you Cassie.

Xx Blake

I haven't read that note since the day I locked my blades away. I look at Niall and collapse onto the floor and cry.
