A/N guys I like actually cried writhing part of this chapter. I was listening to Eyes Open by Taylor Swift, Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift and Moments by One Direction when I was writing this chapter....

"I-I don't know what to say, other than I'm sorry." Niall says leaning against the tree nearest to me.

"It's okay."

"Want to talk about it?"

"Actually, for the first time...yes."

"I'm all ears." Niall sits down on a large stump and pats down next to him for me to sit.

"Well it's was a few years ago, well awhile ago. I was twelve and me, my mom, my brother and my sister wanted to go to the air port to see my father get off the plane from Afghanistan." A few tears trickle out of my eyes thinking back at the time that changed my life. "We were 10 minutes away from the airport when a truck pulled out in front of us. My mom swerved...." I begin to cry. Niall pats my back and runs it soothingly. "We didn't hit that truck but three other cars ran into us, instantly killing my mom." I take a breath. "When the firemen came to the car to get us all out us kids were still alive. Moments later my brother died right in front of me. He was only three." I'm crying hard now. "Me and my sister, we went to the hospital for them to check us. I was fine, but my sister had major problems inside of her body. I watched her slowly die and suffer for two months." I'm sobbing at this point. "My dad couldn't handle the pain and went back to Afghanistan. A week after he left I found out he died in warfare." I can't handle the pain I'm giving myself from telling this horrible story I stop.

"Then you were left alone." Niall states not in a question. I nod and he brings my head to his shoulder. He lets me cry on his shoulder until their are no tears left to shed.

"I'm sorry." I look at the stain I left on his white tee shirt.

"It's nothing. Now are you all right?"

"Yeah, thanks for that. I should probably get home. You too." He nods and stands up waiting for me. Niall never seemed to have his own opinion which worries me, for his sake.

"Want me to drive." I look up at him with glossy eyes and nod.

Nialls POV:

I've never seen anyone as upset and hurt as I just saw Jo.

We walk back across the bridge and to her car where I drive her home. The drive is quiet, but from what just happened it doesn't surprise me. We walk into her house where her aunt and uncle are in the kitchen making popcorn.

"Hey Jo and Niall! We were about to have a movie marathon. Want to join us?" Her aunt says.

Jo looks at me then back at her aunt. "I don't know. Niall?"

"Yeah that'd be fun." Maybe it would lighten the mood.

"Okay then yes. We'll be in the screen room in 5." Jo walks up the stairs and into her room.

"Here. These should fit." She hands me black basketball shorts and a old softball coach tee shirt. "They were my dads."

"Are you-"

"It's fine." She has some clothes in her hand. "Turn around and don't look." She instructs. I turn around but I can just imagine how perfect her body is underneath.

I take off my white tee and put on the one she gave me. I change into the shorts and she was right, they do fit. I turn around and see her staring at me... Kinda weird but okay.

"Ready?" She asks her hair now in a nest on top of her head. I nod and she turns off the light as we walk back downstairs to a room I've never been in before. The room was really big with a bunch of couches, chairs, beanbags and tons of pillows. There is a huge screen which is why I'm guessing its called "the screen room".

"Hey guys! We picked out two movies so you each can pick one." Her aunt says. Her aunt is really energetic, like all the time. Jo picks up "Journey to Fearless" which is a Taylor Swift movie I'm guessing, and I pick "The Vow".

"You watch that type of stuff?" Jo looks at my choice.

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?"

"Nothing. Most guys wouldn't like that but I think it's cool." She smiles. Well then. We watch our movies first then her uncle plays his movie. It's boring and I feel Jo slowly falling asleep on me. I myself was dozing off.

Jo's POV:

Brian picked the most boring movie ever. Niall is already asleep next to me and I'm about to fall asleep. Luckily the couch is big enough for if me and Niall end up falling asleep.

"Is he asleep?" Keri whispers.

"Yeah." I mouth back. Niall's head is on his hand and his elbow is on the arm of the couch.

"Me and Brian will watch my movie in the other screen room after this movie is over."

"Okay." I honestly don't care, I just want to fall asleep. Whatever, I give up, body you win....
