Their Saving Grace {One Direction AU}

Chapter 5

I feel asleep around 5 in morning, like thought I would. It felt like I only slept of 30 minutes, till some one was poking my right shoulder.

"Go away Niall." I mumbled. The poking continued. I took my good arm, to hit the hand away that was poking me. I hit the hand pretty hard and squeaking sound was made.

I opened my eyes to see that it wasn't Niall it was Riley instead. Tears were starting to form in her eyes. Her ears had flattened in her messy red hair.

"Li-Liam said Li-Liam would never hurt Ri-Riley and Al-Alice, but Li-Liam did hurt Ri-Riley." Riley said with a tear falling down off her cheek.

"I'm so sorry Riley. I didn't mean to hit you.I thought you were Niall." She stared at me confused. I stood up, so I could wipe away her tears. She backed away from me.

 "Pr-promise not to hurt Ri-Riley or Al-Alice again?" She asked.

"I promises that I won't hurt you or Alice again." I promised.She walked back to me to me and wrapped her arms around my torso. I wrapped my good arm around her.

"Liam! It's 7 o'clock! Your'e going to be late for school!" Niall yelled form the hallway.

"Sc-school?" Riley asked, releasing from our hug.

"School is a placed where I go to learn. I go there every Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays,"

"Pl-please d-don't leave Ri-Riley and Al-Alice here with that m-monster."

"Monster?" I questioned, but realized she meant Niall. "Oh you mean Niall?" She nodded.

"Do you want me to ask Zayn to come over?" She gave me a confused look. I explained to her who Zayn was.

After taking my math test and going to my lawyer classes at UNI. I got done around 1 o'clock and then went to work till 8.

 I walked into my flat to see Riley and Alice cuddled up on Zayn's lap.

"They must really like you mate?" I said walking behind the couch and resting my head on his shoulder.

"They sure do, but every time Niall came around they would try to hide behind me or near me."

I really want to know why they don't like Niall. Ever since I left them with Niall Harry, they probably thought Niall would hurt them.

"Did they eat breakfast and lunch?"

"Yes, and I should get home before Harry does, but I don't want to wake them up. They look so peaceful."

I quietly said Riley and Alice's names. They both sat up and looked around confused. Riley emerald green eyes looked up at me.

Her face lite up and I could tell she was really excited to see me. She jumped up from the couch. She jumped into my arms, I caught her with my good arm. Wrapping her legs around my waist, resting her head on my shoulder.

"Mi-missed Li-Liam! Z-Zayn, l-love Z-Zayn be-being over. Z-Zayn helped Ri-Riley and Al-Alice. Z-Zayn kept Ni-Niall away."

While Riley and I were talking Zayn had left and Niall came out of the bedroom.

Riley and I let go of our everlasting hug. Thunder struck from outside, which caused the house to shake. Alice ran over to us and hugged her sister tightly.,

"Ri-Riley! Ri-Riley! Al-Alice sc-scared!" Alice's ears flattened into her messy brunette hair. She buried her face into her sister's neck.

Lighting flashes and thunder boomed again. Whimpering sounds came from the younger girl. The poor girl was scared of thunder storms.
