Saving Each Other (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Is she really going to leave?/Chapter Twenty Four

                                                                                       NIALL'S POV

After she ran out of the car, I felt my heart fall into my stomach. I sat there for a minute, I didn't know what to do. Should I run after her? Or should I leave? I decided to run after her. I wiped my tears, jumped out of the car and chased after her.

"Brianna!" I screamed as I ran in the house, the door was unlocked I'm sure she did that on purpose. She knew I would follow her. Fortunately her parents hadn't gotten back from the airport yet. I ran upstairs and into her room, I didn't see her but I could hear the shower water running. I walked to her bathroom and put my ear to the door. I could her sobbing once I got close.  

"Baby please come out here and talk to me" I begged, she didn't respond she just kept crying.

"Brianna baby, please I love you, we can work through this" I said through the door. She wouldn't respond she just continued to cry. 

"Baby please, please let me in" I continued to beg. I went to turn the knob and door was unlocked. I walked in and she was sitting in the tub with all her clothes on, letting the water run over her. 

"Baby get out of there before you get sick" I said as I knelt down, turned the water off and went to pick her up. I picked her up and carried her out. I sat her down and began to take her clothes off. She flinched as I started to touch her, it made me want to cry. She never flinched at my touch, never not once. Knowing that Conor was the reason she was afraid of me, made me want to kill him all over again. As I stripped her down naked, she had stopped crying now she was just shivering, she still wouldn't speak to me. 

"Baby will you please talk to me?" I begged once again then went to find her shirt and panties to wear. Still she continued not to speak, she just sat there with her knees held to her body and her head laying on the them. I found a white shirt and my favorite green panties of hers, in one of her dresser drawers. I prepared the clothes so I could dress her. 

"Arms up" I said and she obliged. I put the sleeves on her arms and pulled the shirt down over her body. 

"Stand up" I told her, helped her into her panties, sat her down, then sat down next to her. 

"Will you talk to me now?" I asked her. She still wouldn't respond. 

"OK fine if you won't talk I will" I said then slid a little closer to her. 

"Listen to me. We can get through this, I love you and I know you love me despite how afraid you are. We love each other and people who really love each other like we do can survive anything. Besides I killed Conor, he's gone. We'll never have to see him again. Plus since I've been here in America I've been out of the life and just for you I will make sure I'm completely out. I love you, I need you, I can't really function without you, I want to have kids with you and I want to marry you." I said and she finally acted if she was going to speak. 

                                                                             BRIANNA'S POV 

His words hurt like being punched in the stomach. Yes I love him but I love my coming child more. I almost told him you're right we can make it through this, but then I remembered the note. What would happen to us if decided to stay? The thought made me sick, I mean literally. I got up and ran for the bathroom. 

"Baby what's wrong?" Niall asked but I couldn't speak, I was too busy throwing up. He ran to my side and held my hair back. I finished, flushed the toilet, went to brush my teeth and wash my mouth out. 

"Nothing, I'm fine. Iv'e been getting sick for the last couple days" I lied after I rinsed. He just nodded in response but I knew,he knew something was going on that I wasn't telling him.

"I don't know if I can get around this" I said and the words physically hurt cause I knew what I was saying and so did he, because he was silent. 

"I mean it's a lot to get over, I was kidnapped and raped because of this" I told him and he still continued to say nothing. He looked as if he was going to cry. 

"Niall please try to understand, I love you but I just can't live like this. I'd be looking over my shoulder forever" I told him. 

"But, I killed Conor, he's gone" he told me. I, on the other hand knew this wasn't true. I had to come up with a lie. 

"But what about the others?" I asked. 

"What others?" He asked. 

"What if Conor has other henchmen or minions? Whatever they're called" I asked. 

"Then I don't know" he said as he put his head down. 

"Exactly" I said.

" I love you, I really do but this life is not for me" I told him. He lifted his head and looked at me. 

"There's something you're not telling me and I know it" he said and his voice made me shudder, because I knew he was right. 

"Niall there's nothing, I just can't deal with this" I lied. 

"Brianna if there's something going on you need to tell me so I can protect you" he said. 

"How? You couldn't protect me this time" I said and I felt my words hurt him, I saw it in his eyes. He shrugged it off though. 

"That's because I didn't know it was coming, this time I will" He said and didn't know how to respond, I was silent. 

 "Niall please don't make this harder then it has to be" I begged. 

"I know you so I know something is up. Did Conor say something to you before we got there?" he said. 

"No what would make you think that?" I asked as I began to fear he was going to figure it out.

"I'm in love with you and because of that I've made it my business to know everything about you. Every expression, everything you love and hate, every curve of your face and body, every acne scar, every scar, even the ones you don't know how you got, every feeling, everything, I made it a point not to miss anything, so I know something is wrong. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna step back and give you you're space and when you're ready to tell me you call me" he said. 

"Niall nothing is going on" I continued to try to lie. 

"OK sure" he said. 

"But as far as tonight goes I'm staying here with you" he said and before I could answer he was stripping and laying in my bed. 

"Um OK sure" I said then laid down next to him. I let it go because this would be the last time he would ever get to hold me. This would be the last time I would ever get to smell his natural scent. This would be the last time I would get to feel his skin against mine. This would be our last night together, so I just laid there and took it all in. As I laid there I knew he was doing the same.
