Geek Charming (Niall Horan fanfiction)

Regrets and temptation

Part 13 - Rae

Niall and I reached his bedroom still hearing the shouts from his parents as we got further away you'd think they'd become quieter but they just got louder, either we were above them to hear the conversation or they were shouting with a lot of volume that wasn't there before.

"How could you embarrass him like that Bobby! He never brings a girl home and the one time he does you do that! Rae was such a lovely girl as well if you've ruined things between them Bobby I swear to God" his mum's voice seemed to be the more dominant one in their argument but it was nice to hear her stick up for Niall and also me, after how bad dinner went I thought Niall would want me to go I didn't expect him to tell me to stay, from sitting at the table even to now Niall's fisted were still clenched maybe because he could hear his parents arguing and he feared for his mother or the fact that his dad said what he said at the table compared to my family I felt sorry for Niall, this isn't how someone should feel towards their own parent.

Niall opened his bedroom door sitting on his double bed, his head went to his hands as I stayed put by the door, I didn't want to interrupt him from the time it seemed like he needed right now to calm himself down. I didn't know what I was meant to do or say to make things better I barely knew this side of him so whatever I would do would be unexpected on both our parts. I thought I could hear small sobs escaping his trembled lips but once I thought I heard one others didn't follow so I guess I was wrong.

He stayed in the same position for at least five minutes now. His long fingers pulling at his blonde locks causing it to look messier than usual, not one word had spoken between either of us just the sound of Niall's angered breathing could be heard, the shouts and screams from downstairs had died out even hearing the slamming of the front door following which didn't seemed to affect Niall's state however made me jump in the air slightly. I still stood at the doorway and frankly if he wasn't going to talk to me then why should I stay? I'd rather give him time to calm down now and not ruin anything yet than him getting frustrated with me for being here.

"Niall are you okay?" I felt like I had to ask him so he could tell me what I should do if I should stay here or just go home, I'm sure there's thing I could find to do.

"I'm fine" he mumbled slightly looking up, around his eyes was fairly red along with his actual eye balls too I wasn't sure if that was from crying or from the constant rubbing I had noticed he would do every so offer

"You don't look fine Niall, I think it's best if I go, it will let you sort yourself out and calm down and we can do something another day" I made it more of a question even though it didn't need to be, he needed some space to clear his head or so I thought he did anyway

"No please don't go Rae, it's just I don't know he purposely did that earlier, he just had to feel the need to embarrass me in front if you and then talk to you so rudely that you felt the need to leave, he can't accept that maybe someone really does like me for me, I just hate him so much" hearing that seemed to make me change my mind about leaving, this clearly happened a lot and he never had anyone to talk to about what was going on, he needed someone to talk to and right now that someone was me and I was willing to sit here and listen to everything. I made my way towards his bed stopping in front of his feet, my tiny hands compared to his took hold of his removing then from his face nudging his chin up to look at me I gave him a small smile.

"Niall hates a strong word, if he were gone tomorrow you'd be devastated, I know what he did today wasn't right and I know how angry you are but he's still your dad he just has a funny way of showing it, just so you know no matter what he says or try's to tell me about you I won't listen you're still and will my chef Horan and I'm always going to listen to you okay, whenever and wherever if you need someone to talk to you phone me straight away and I'll do my best to help even if it means coming over here I'll be there okay" I noticed how his eyes didn't seem so glum anymore they brightened up as I told him I'd be there for him not even noticing the smile on his face which just confirmed it for me
