In The Shadows (Niall Horan DARK Fanfiction)

Goodbyes - 8

*Savannah POV*

Me and my mother had a normal enough conversation. Probably the most normal I've had for a week. I caught up on basically everything I missed at home.

And I actually couldn't wait to go. But don't get me wrong, I will miss this place like crazy. I guess I have to leave though. Almost getting killed three times would drive anyone crazy.

I knew it was going to be a long trip so I plugged my black headphones into my ipod before selecting Ed sheeran's album 'plus', hitting shuffle. I quickly recognized the guitar into of the song "The A Team" and I leant my head on the window and went over what happened that morning.

**FLASHBACK TO THIS MORNING**

I woke up at around 6 am. I quickly dialled my mother's number to pick me up, I remember her saying she had a work trip around town so I figured I could go back with her. If she was travelling, she would be up this early, so she should answer. I hope she will let me home..

I was almost shaking as I dialled the number.

"Hello!" I heard her answer and the sound of her voice nearly brought me to to tears. Only now I realized how much I missed her.

"Hi mum!" I called back trying to sound happy.

"Everything alright love?"

"Mum, I know your busy, but could I come live home for a little while? I'm having a rough time.." I chewed my bottom lip waiting for the answer, feeling my heart racing in my chest. That was true i guess. I was on summer break from collage, so i wont miss much.

"Of course love! Your lucky I'm still in town, I'll be there about 11 am?"

"Great! Thanks mum! Love you!"

"Love you too hun!" She called before ending the call.

I smiled a little before lying back on my bed. I picked up the phone and began dialling another number. Tegan. My best friend since the day I got here.

It took her a while to answer, she was probably sleeping ... oops..

"Uhh... Hullo?" She called groggily down the phone.

"Hey teg.." I sighed.

"What's wrong? This better be an emergency its six am for fuck sakes!"

"I'm moving back home!" I blurted. All of a sudden I heard a loud thud, presumably she fell out of bed.

"What?! Why?! You can't leave me here alone!" 

I felt so guilty for leaving her. I was almost crying at the thought without her.

"I'm sorry.. It's only for a llittle while.. L-like.. a vacation! Its not forever!" I said backing my point.

"Okay. What time you leaving?"

"Mother's picking me up at eleven this morning.."

"Okay. ill come help you pack at around 9 ish. See I must love you, I'm getting up EARLY for you!" She joked and I giggled at her remark.

"Kay.. see ya then!" I called

"Bye!" She said before hanging up. I was going to miss it here. I had loads of friends here, not just Tegan. But she was there when nobody else was.

In Wales, I also have a best friend. Called Charlotte. She lives up the road from me and we met at a young age. I didn't know how I'd manage without her at first, but i had always wanted to move to England or London. Unfortunately the colleges in London were way too expencive for me to afford, so I'm in Yorkshire instread.

I sighed before dragging my suit case out from under the bed and began to take photos of me and friends off the walls. I packed them all neatly in my suitcase, followed by all my clothes.

I had way more clothes now than I did when I got here, and I made sure to keep an outfit out for today. After about an hour of packing, I decided to take a quick shower. It was going to be a long day of traveling.

In the shower so many thoughts rushed away. Leaving town, leaving friends, a new life..Starting a new COLLGE. They all left my mind completely. Except for one tiny problem sitting in the back of my mind. The real reason I was leaving. The vampires. What if they come after me?

When Tegan got here, mostly everything was packed but she helped with what was left. After it was done we both sat on the floor in the middle of.my living room, looking around the uncomfortably bare room in silence. 

"Why are you going?" Tegan asked softly. I let out a long sad sigh and I felt terrible for lying to her. But I told Niall I wouldn't tell anyone about them.

"Its just a break.." I whispered back earning a scoff from her.

"Course." She replied.

" Im having a tough time.."

"You could move in with me."

"I kinda want to move back. I have a life there too. Family is there."  

She let out a sigh, obviously defeated. "Okay I guess so.. You better come back!" She said poking me in the ribs causing me to giggle, but it kinda hurt from the ropes last night. I shuddered and tried my hardest to push the thought away. I checked my watch.

It was half ten. Already?! "Tegan.. My mother will be here soon .." I said softly and we both stood up. She looked up at me with sad green/hazel eyes. "Don't look at me like that you'll make me cry!" I said before pulling her into a hug. "I cant belive your leaving me you bitch." She murmured. We had nicknames like that for eachother. It was normal. "Ill miss you too whore." I replied smiling.  

I opened the door and I tried my hardest not to cry. I'm crap with goodbyes.

**END OFF FLASHBACK**

By now another song was on, still by Ed, but this time it was "Kiss Me" This song always calms my nerves. I let out a sigh and soon enough my eyelids became heavy and before long I was drifting off to sleep. I did go to bed at half three in the morning and only had three hours sleep after all.
