Your Greatest Mistake

Chapter Fourteen

Niall's POV

I was in a daze. As our friends got closer, the feeling of worry grew bigger. We were both a mess. I was still nauseous and shaking. Her hands were still trembling.

"Riley, what the hell we're you doing?!" Ana screamed.

They saw her on the bridge. They saw everything. The boys ran towards me.

"Are you alright?!" Asked Liam.

"Can you breathe?" Harry asked.

I shook my head. Everyone was looking at Riley. I could see how uncomfortable she was beginning to feel.

"What the hell were you doing?" Cat whispered.

She didn't answer. She simply got up, and walked away.

Riley's POV

I didn't know where I was going, but I just needed some space. I'm no good for Niall. I'm bad for him. I gave him an anxiety attack. I heard someone coming up behind me.

"Can I talk to you?" Harry asked.

I turned around and sighed.

"Sure." I sighed.

"What's going on with you?" He asked.

"A lot." I muttered.

"Care to share?" He asked.

"You already know what's going on." I said.

"Huh?" He questioned.

I lifted up my shirt and revealed what Niall had once seen. Cuts. He looked surprised and looked up at me.

"You were trying to jump. But Niall stopped you." He muttered.

"He didn't stop me. He had an anxiety attack. I couldn't let that happen. I ran over and calmed him down. He couldn't breathe and it was scaring me." I admitted.

"Why did you try to jump? Do you want to die?" He asked me.

"It's not that. I just wanted the pain to stop. But then I saw how much I was hurting him. And it was scary to see someone hurting like that. Especially someone you love so much." I said.

"That's how he sees you. That's how he feels about you. He always tells us how scared he is to lose you. He said his greatest fear is losing you. And today he felt that kind of fear." Harry said.

I heard another person coming.

"There you are!" Niall said.

I walked over to him and kissed him. He held me in his arms and for once, I felt safe.
