"Who's this?" Niall timidly asked, pointing to the tombstone.
"It-it's my mum." I stuttered, fighting back the tears.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry" Niall whispered, pulling me into his warm chest. I shook my head assuring him it was no big deal. Worried he took my face into his palms. "How did you bust your lip?" He asked as he examined it. I didn't know what to say, I mean I didn't know him, I couldn't tell him the truth!
"I tripped and banged in on the kitchen counter." I mumbled,
"Silly sausage!" Niall giggled.
Out of no where a harsh gust of icy wind hit the back of my neck. My lip began to quiver. "Your cold?" Niall asked. I nodded my head. "Here take this!" Rapidly he took off his jacket and assisted me putting it on.
"T-thank you" I repeated. I have known this man for not even five minutes and yet I have thanked him several times.
*RIINGG* *RIINGG*
Niall pulled his phone from his jean pocket and answered:
"Speak to me!" He began. "Yeah i'll be home shortly, give me five minutes". He ended the call.
"I have to go, dinners ready!" Niall smiled. "Need a ride home?"
"I-I have no where...to go". Oh no. What have I just said! He cant know. Not about Tony, not about anything.
"Well I cant leave you out here all alone, come on, your coming with me!" He insisted, but how could I trust him? After all I've been through, how do I know he wont be the same as Tony.
"I'm fine, honestly, I'll find a place!" I refused his offer. "You go home."
"No can do missy!" He shook his head. "Besides you have my coat!" He smirked as he placed his hand around my waist. I shouldn't trust him, or even let him touch me, but something inside of me told me I was safe, I could tell him everything... why? Listening to my conscious I let him lead me to his car and take me with him.
Just for the night, I promised myself. Then I will find a hotel and take it from there.
