Oceans Apart *ON HOLD*

Chapter Eight:

{Charlotte's POV-}

Slice "One because I'm not good enough."

Slice "Two because he hates me."

Slice "Three because I'm unlovable."

Slice "Four because no one cares."

Slice "And five because I hate my life." I whispered looking at my wrist.

I smiled sickly, finished, satisfied I walk to the sink cleaning off my skin. I wrap it in a bandage, going to change into different clothes. Satisfied I head out into the living room.

My wrist throbs in pain. But it's a good pain. I like it.

I just sat there staring blankly at the television. Out of no where I hear a knock on the door. A puzzled expression comes to my face. I slowly stand up, heading to the door. I throw it open only to come face to face with Niall.

I freeze, angry at first. But then of course those same old butterflies come back into my stomach and I am happy to see him.

"Hey. what're you doing here?" I ask softly.

"I'm sorry." He stated.

"For?" I ask.

"Being in arse to you." He whispered reaching for my hand, softly touching it to his lips. Elctricity jolts right through me.

"You are forgiven." I say smiling softly.

He smiled a breath takingly beautiful smile.

I began to step back, inviting him inside.

Taking his big, ruff hand in mine, I lead him over to the couch.

"Sit." I demand. He quirks an eyebrow but doesn't say a word

I put a movie in the DVD player, and join him on the couch lying my head in his lap. 

He wrapped an arm around my waist. I smiled up at him, my eyes getting tired.

I turned my attention from him to the T.V in front of me. Making myself comfortable, I lied there glad to be near him. My eyes slowly drooped, as I dozed off into a well needed rest.

~*~*~

Soft snores filled the room. My eyes began to readjust to the dim lighting. A small yawn escapes my lips. I notice that the movie, has long since ended. I click the power off button on the remote, my t.v flickering off.

I try to wiggle around in his grip, but find myself stuck. I crane my neck, looking up at him, seeing him sound asleep. I smile, laying my head back down on his lap.

Sleep overwhelms me once again, my eyes close, my body returning to it's previous slumber.

~*~*~

{Niall's POV-}

Unaware of what was going on, my body wakes up from it's slumber. I look around, realizing my location soon enough. I look down at my lap to see a sleeping Charlotte. I smile, until I see the clock.

10:32

My mouth dropped open. How long had we been asleep? Not important, I suppose. I was just enjoying my time here with her, awake or not.

I carefully shook her sleeping figure. "Wake up Charlotte." I say softly.I see a faint smile pop on to her face, but just like that it's gone again. "Come on Char." I say a little louder.  

Only getting a soft groan from her. "Fine. Guess we are doing this my way."

I pick her up, carrying her bridle style, to her room. I feel her smile against my chest as I open many doors looking for the right one to her room.

Finally after looking through what feels like one thousand rooms, I find her room. I carry her surprisingly light body over to her bed. Lying her down under the covers.

"Goodnight Char." I whisper.

As I turn to leave the room, I hear something come from her. I look back to see her face down in the pillow.

"What was that?" I ask.

"Stay." She whispers.

"Char-" She cuts me off, sitting up and looking at me with those adorable big brown eyes.

"Please?" She asks.

I nod, and she smiles lying down again. I strip off my shirt, leaving on my trackies, I jump in next to her.

She cuddles into me. I fire her a strange look, as she buries her head into the crook of my neck, I wrap my arms around her. Falling oddly fast into a deep sleep.
