Innocent-Not-Innocent

Chapter 2 - Why Does He Care ?

Those eyes ... Light blue orbs and perfectly white skinned face, with light pink lips that turned into a small grin when our eyes met. 

He dropped off the baseball jacket and left only with long white shirt with long sleevess. 

"I'm sorry. I didn't watch where I was going ..." I mumbled while I fixed the leash on my shoulder unable to break the eye contact with those hypnotizing eyes. 

"Nah, It's my fault. I was in a rush ..." I could recognize an Irish accent while the boy, Niall, talked. 

"You're new here aren't you? I wasn't been here for a while... I'm Niall, Niall Horan ..." He smiled took a step closer to me. I finally managed to take my eyes off his and I watched my shoes instead. 

"Yeah ... I'm new. Nicole" I replyed. 

"Hey Nialler !" I heared a loud call from behind me. Niall looked over my shoulder and smiled.

"Hazz" He answered. 

"And here's my study partner. Nicole, isn't it ?" Harry stood by my side. I raised my eyes to face him and nodded. 

"I was off school for the past month so I have no idea what am I supposed to do" He said With an apologetic smile. 

"It's probably why Mr. Cole made me your partner - I'm a straight A" I took a quick look at Niall and then back to Harry. 

"Well, then you'l have some serious work to do with me... Sorry if I'll ruin your perfect A" He smirked. 

"No worries. I got to go, excuse me..." I remembered that I was late and walked away fast.

No .

No no no no.

Make it go away.

Make it stop.

Make the pain stop.  

I ran out of the school Psychologist Office trying to hold back my tears.

He doesn't understand. No one understand. 

I see Niall few steps away glancing at me, but I just keep running. 

"Nicole !"  I hear him call and I can hear his footsteps getting faster behind me, but not fast enough to catch me. I ignore him and run towards the exit. 

I wipe my eyes and keep running, God tears started falling. I thought I can keep them in for a bit longer. 

I turn to the Abandoned back yard, throwing my bag to the wall side and taking the sharp small blade out of my pocket. 

I fall down with my back against the wall. I rolled up the sleeve of the jumper on my left arm,  tears now pouring down my face.

I managed to start a small fresh cut when someone landed on his knees infront of me and took my right arm a shook it until I released the blde and it dropped on the ground too far for me to take it again. 

As I start sobbing heavily I feel strong arm around my shoulders pulling me closer and rubbing my back as another hand grabs my wrist and holding tight, stopping the small wound from bleeding. 

I give in and clench my fist in his shirt, my head buried in his chest as the tears keep falling and wetting his shirt.

"Shh calm down, I'm here, it's ok, you're ok..." I can feel Niall breath in my ear.
