They Don't Know About Us

Next To You

"Crap..." I mumbled under my breath. Niall's eyes stared at my black eye. I tried to find the right words to say to him.

"What happened?" Niall asked, concern filling his voice. He sat beside me again, his blue eyes piercing into my soul.

"Y-You'll only get mad if I tell you," I whispered.

"You can tell me anything, beautiful," Niall whispered. I could feel his breath against my ear. I felt his hand brush over my cheek, catching a teardrop that had fallen from my eye. I quickly brought my hand up to my eye to wipe away my wet eyes, but Niall grabbed my arm, stopping me. I looked into his serious blue eyes, confused. He gently intertwined his fingers with mine, "Don't be afraid to cry. Crying just shows how you have survived it all. It is okay to be scared, everyone gets scared. I will always be by your side to comfort you when you cry. I won't get mad about what happened, if you don't want me to."

I glanced up at his eyes, "You sure?" I asked. He nodded. I guess I can tell him, "Y-You're fans found me when I was away. A few days ago they found me, and beat me in an alley."

Silence filled the room once I finished I looked back up at Niall's eyes. They were staring off at the wall, trying to avoid mine. I saw a look of fiery in his eyes. I looked down, when I felt his grip tighten on my hand. I saw his free hand balled in a tight fist. I had to stop him from blowing up. I leaned up, and my lips softly touched where his jaw and neck met. I felt his hand slightly relax, but was still gripped tightly over mine. I kissed his cheek, and my lips trailed over his lips. I could feel his heavy breathing against my lips, as my lips threatened to kiss his.

"Kiss me..." He breathed. I pressed my lips against his. I felt his hand cup my cheek as we kissed. After a few seconds, I parted away. Niall looked at me disappointed.

"The others are going to get suspicious," I replied to his disappointed. Niall groaned, "So, we have to go back down?" He asked. I nodded, "But, that doesn't mean I can't kiss you later," I replied, cheekily, causing Niall to grin, but then his face fell, "Did they hurt you anywhere else...?" Niall asked, quietly. I bit my lips nervously. Should I tell him about the bruises? My lip had pretty much healed, so you can't really tell that it was injured. But, my stomach had lots of bruises, from their repeated punching. But, there is no way I am showing him my stomach, one is that I'm wearing a dress right now. Two, is that I have all my new cutting scars there. I have a few bruises on my arms and legs, I guess I'll just tell him that, and leave my stomach out of this.

I held my arm out in front of him, so he could see the two bruises on my arm. I saw him carefully lift my arm, so he could see, careful to not hurt me.

"Why the hell would they do this to you...?" Niall angrily muttered under his breath. I pulled my arm away from his grasp so I could intertwine his fingers with mine, "It's over, so we don't need to worry about it anymore," I whispered to him. Niall looked into my eyes with a look of concern, "But, how do we know they won't do it again?" He asked. I squeezed his hand, "Because I know you'll be there for me."

Niall seemed satisfied by that answer. He leaned in one last time, and softly touched his lips onto mine.

"Ready to go back down?" I asked, once his lips pulled away from mine. He nodded, "Yeah, let's go down. We walked downstairs. Everyone was sitting around the couch, talking to each other,"What are you guys doing?" Niall asked, once we reached the couches.

"We're getting to know Aislinn," Louis replied. I frowned, "You're not freaking her out, are you?" I asked Louis, suspiciously.

"No, they just wanted to know more about me," Aislinn replied.

"You and Aislinn seem a lot alike," Zayn replied. I looked at each of the boys faces, to see they remained serious. I think Aislinn might have told them about her past. I decided to break the silence that filled the room, "So, do you know where Aislinn will sleep?" I asked them.

"We have an extra room downstairs, so Aislinn can stay there," Liam replied, "We just need to set it up, and then it will be ready."

"Sounds great," I replied, "Aislinn and I still need to sell our apartment, and bring our stuff back. Should we do that today?"

"We got nothing better to do," Louis replied, "Let's go!"

We slipped on some shoes, and the boys took their cars, and we left.

"Finally done!" I exclaimed, as I set the last box in my room. Aislinn was setting up her room downstairs. I think Zayn and Liam were helping her set up some of the furniture. I finished, and walked downstairs. Everyone was in the living room, and kitchen, I guess Aislinn is done setting up.

"Marie and I are going out on a date," Harry announced, "So, bye."

I watched them leave. Zayn started to walk out the door, "Yeah, I'm also going out with Rachel so, bye," He said, as he walked out the door.

"Hey, I don't want to look like a loser, so I'm going out with Eleanor," Louis said, and left.

"Let me guess," Liam began, "You and Nicole are going out?"

"Actually, no we're staying here," Niall replied. Liam frowned, "But, you're going to be with Nicole, right?" Niall nodded, "You got that right."

"You and Aislinn could hang out," I suggested, "You two can watch a movie or something."

"Okay," Liam replied, "What's your favorite movie, Aislinn?" Liam asked. Aislinn paused to think, then answered, "Um... Toy Story."

I saw Liam's eyes light up, "Really? Me too!"

Then, Liam and Aislinn started talking. I've done my work. I walked upstairs, with Niall.

"I'm going to take a shower first," I told him. I saw Niall grin cheekily, "I could join you to save water." I rolled my eyes, and playfully pushed him, "Yeah, no way." Niall chuckled and, walked over to his room, as I went to my room. I grabbed a pair of pajama shorts and a T-shirt, and took them to my bathroom. I closed the door behind me, and took a quick shower. I changed into the shorts and T-shirt, and blow dried my hair. I finished, and walked back over to Niall's room. I opened the door to see Niall, he was wearing pajama pants, without a shirt. I giggled, "Going shirtless now, are you?"

"You like?" He joked. I giggled, "Oh, I love."

He shut the door behind us, and guided us over to his bed. We sat on the edge, and he leaned closer to my face, "I missed seeing you so much," He whispered, and I could feel his hot breath against my face, "Promise me you won't leave me again."

"... I promise..." I whispered. Niall crashed his lips against mine. I ran my fingers up his bare back, until I felt his hair. I ran my fingers through his hair, as he wrapped his arms around me. He pushed me down, so I was laying, and he was above me. I could see his blue eyes piercing into my soul, as his head leaned towards me. I could feel his lips kiss my neck. His lips traveled up my neck, leaving a trail of kisses up my neck. He pressed his lips against the skin where my neck met my jaw, causing me to giggle. I could feel him smiling into the kiss at the sound of my voice. He kissed my cheek, then his lips hovered above mine, "You are an angel..." He whispered, I could feel his breath against my mouth, as I awaited the kiss on my lips.

"And, you are perfect," I whispered. He crashed his lips onto mine, passionately. I felt his tongue glide across my bottom lip as to ask for entrance into my mouth. I allowed his tongue to slip into my mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he kissed me, running my fingers through his soft hair. He rolled over, so we were now side by side. He wrapped his arms around my body, as I let my hands touch his bare chest. He continued kissing me, as we laid together. We parted for a moment, and I kissed him along his neck, causing him to let out a throaty moan. I giggled at the sound, and he connected his lips with mine again. His hands traced along the area where my skin peeked through the bottom of my top. His hands slipped under my top, and he touched the bare skin on the bottom of my stomach. I winced in pain at the touch. He immediately slipped his hands out, and looked at me confused, "Did I hurt you?" Niall asked, very concerned.

"N-No..." I whispered, trying to avoid his eye contact.

"Tell me, baby," He whispered.

"I-I can't tell you," I whispered. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I felt Niall's lips kiss where my tear had rolled down my cheek, "Shh... It's okay, love. Just show me."

I looked up to see his trusting blue eyes, telling me everything will be okay. I lifted my shirt partially up, so he could see my stomach, but my shirt still covered my bra. He gasped at the horrible sight. Black and blue bruises covered my stomach. There were also the puffy red lines from my cuts. I quickly pulled my shirt back down.

"You started cutting again...?" He whispered, an element of shock to his voice. I nodded, letting the tears start to fall once again, "I-I felt so lost without you..." I whispered, "A-And the bruises are from the f-fans..."

"I-I didn't know all that happened...." He mumbled, quietly, "You've stopped cutting now, right?"

I nodded, "I don't need to cut if I have you."

"Everything will be okay, love," He whispered, and slowly leaned in to lightly kiss my lips again. He parted, and stared into my eyes for a moment, "I won't ever let you get hurt again... I promise."

I smiled up at him, and he leaned in, and kissed the area where my neck and jaw met. Niall's lips left small kisses around my neck, and his lips touched the skin above the top of my shirt. His lips trailed back over to my lips, and they connected perfectly. We parted, and I let my head rest against his chest. I felt his chest go up and down from his breathing. I traced patterns onto the skin on his chest, as he wrapped his arms around me. Niall pulled the blankets of his bed over us, and I cuddled up into his chest. His warms arms remained around my small body as we fell asleep together.

I wanted to create an AWESOME romance scene... What did you think? I took their relationship to the next level, making out! There's freaking sixth graders in my school who make out and there's also some sixth grader that is apparently pregnant! WHAT IS WRONG WITH KIDS THESE DAYS! I don't want Nicole and Niall to have sex in this book until maybe later... Not even sure if I'll do it then. If I do I WILL NOT describe anything. Guys, why do you keep telling me to make them have sex? I posted on my activity saying I'm not going to do that... and for some reason a lot of you told me to do exactly what I don't want to do. Nicole is 18, I don't want her to yet. She's really pure and innocent. If you haven't noticed, in the whole book, Nicole hasn't said one cuss word at all. I did that on purpose, to show how innocent her personality is. I can make them do romantic stuff, but not that high. Okay, I really loved writing this romance chapter because Niall and Nicole have been broken up for like 20 chapters and I MISSED THE ROMANCE!!!! BUT IT'S ALL BETTER NOW! Okay, PLEASE tell me what you think of my romance writing. I've been working hard on it, so please tell me! Thanks! Comment, follow, and fave! Bye lovelies!

P.s. So I told my family today that I want to move to London and go to UCL. We'll I'm only 13, haha and I know this sounds stupid but I can't wait till I'm in college.
