In The Shadows (Niall Horan DARK Fanfiction)

Don't Leave Me - 21

*Sorry this is late I have math revision like every day*

*Savannah POV*

I opened my eyes and I quickly realized I had falled asleep. After Niall told my who Mike was we we're both lying there in silence.

I lifted my head and I realized Niall was no longer beneath me. It was still daylight and I checked the bedside clock which read 11.50am.

I only had a couple of hours sleep... But where's Niall?

I could hear voices downstairs and I almost forgot that the boys are back.

I got up off Niall's bed quickly heading to the bathroom to brush my hair that had dried while I was sleeping and it was pointing in all directions.

Once I had brushed it I left Nialls room before padding quietly downstairs to find someone.

The voices were coming from the kitchen...

I gave the door a light knock before entering and I was greeted by Niall and Louis sitting at the counter.

"Morning" Louis smiled and I weakly smiled back.

"Hello." I said still half asleep to the both of them.

They both sat looking at me in silence.

"What's wrong?" I asked confused.

What could I have missed in the last two hours?!

I noticed Niall and Louis glance at each other, almost as if they we're having a conversation without speaking.

"Ill leave you to it." Louis said to Niall casually before leaving the kitchen.

I was beyond confused.

Slowly I walked up to Niall who was now standing up and walking towards me.

"Niall what's going on?" I asked quietly worrying about the answer I was about to have.

"We've got a plan..." He started slowly and he was now standing directly infront of me, once again allowing me to take in every aspect of him.

His blue eyes we're looking down at me, completely emotionless, and his blond hair was still a flat mess across his head. He was wearing his usual black coat that was zipped right then way up and he had his collar pulled up.

He let out a sigh before placing my hands in his and he looked down at them breaking the eye contact.

"We're gunna try finding Harry... But this time... I'm going alone." He said whispering still not looking up at me.

"W-What?!" I blurted. How can he do this?!

"This is my battle, its my fault...

A-and after I do that... Me and the others are gunna move away. And you'll have your old life back. It's what you wanted, right?" His voice was flat and he was trying his hardest not to show any emotion.

That is what I wanted... But nothing like this.

"Niall no, I-its not like that... I-I mean... Where will I stay?!" I asked with my voice trembling every word.

"The boys have promised that they wouldn't lay a hand on you. So for now you can stay here." He replied camly.

Wasn't he bothered by this?!

"B-but what if they don't?" I asked cautiously.

What if the boys do try and hurt me?

He's leaving my life with three guys that once tried to kill me...

But at one point Niall wanted to kill me too...

His eyes met mine and I saw them flash red but instantly back to blue.

He placed his forehead onto mine before replying.

"If they do... They'll regret it. I promise you that, Sav." His voice was a thin whisper.

"So your gunna just...go? Just like that?" I asked looking up at him sadly.

I'm not really sure why I'm sad... This isn't fair anymore. I don't even know what to think about him.

He nodded slightly, with his forehead on mine still keeping the eye contact.

"I take it your leaving now?" I asked feeling my voice crackle a little.

I'm so bad with goodbyes...

He stayed silent and continued to stare into my eyes, and that was enough to give me an answer.

He was leaving now.

I wasn't sure what to do next, so slowly I brought my arms up and I wrapped them around him and I felt him do the same to me, pulling us closer together.

I'm actually going to miss him.

We stood there hugging, gripping eachother tightly for a couple of minutes before I broke the silence.

"Niall?" I asked with my face buried into his black coat.

"Hmm?" He murmured back.

"Is this... Goodbye forever?" I asked painfully suddenly feeling the tears sting my eyes.

Suddenly he pulled back and cupped my face in his hands as he had done the night before, only this time with more meaning.

"It's for the best, yeah?" He replied and I noticed him bite his lip slightly, as if he was holding something back himself.

It's gunna be hard, but he's right. I'll move on easy. I havnt known him long... It's not like I'm in love with him... I'll be fine without him. Finally I get a normal life back... I could even get my own apartment agai-

My thoughts shattered at once as I saw Niall slowly lean in, giving me the choice if I wanted to go along with this or not...

I leaned in slowly meeting his speed until I felt his lips brush against mine.

This kiss was unlike any other we had shared, this one was alot more meaningful and slow.

After a couple of seconds Niall pulled back and stood up straight.

He nodded his head at me before he left the kitchen and closed the door behind him, leaving me alone in the kitchen.

"Goodbye." I whispered, even though he had already left the room.
