We ran behind the house. I left the two alone. I grew up in this neighborhood so I know this place inside out.

I could here Louis coming toward my way. it was pitch black outside. I ducked underneath a bush.

He left.

I heard someone coming near. Heavy footsteps. They knew where I was.

Luckily for me, I was on the track team three years in a row. I sprinted.

I could hear the person behind me hot on my trail.

I climbed up to the old tree house Niall and I built when we were in third grade.

I climbed up and caught my breath.

I think I lost whoever that was.

"Hi"

I jumped.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered/yelled.

"Hiding with you" He said in a duh tone.

"I'm leaving." I say annoyed.

"Wait! Remember when we built this?"

"Yeah, we were friends back then. And I didn't have bruises or scars." I didn't know how he was going to react to my statement.

"Sorry." was all he said.

"For what?"

"Everything."

I nodded.

Niall grabbed my hand but I flinched. "I'm not going to hurt you"

He pulled out his phone to check my arm. I saw a tear roll down from his cheeks.

"Sorry." He said again.

I didn't reply. I let him think as I made my way to the corner of the tree house. I saw pictures of Niall and I everywhere.

I let a tear escape. it was a tear of joy. All the good memories.

"Niall"

"Hmm" he sang

"Look"

He look his time to examine all the pictures. The pictures first started when we were five and they moved to the day before eighth grade started. It all changed from there.

"Why? Why do you hurt me? We were best friends when we were five, but then you changed that."

"I -I don't know."

I shake my head disappointed.


Niall's POV

I couldn't tell Julia how I really felt.

I love her.

I don't know why I bullied her. I guess I was just too scared that she would forget about me. I wanted to be the one to hold her in her sleep, to protect her. But I can't now. She hates me. I was afraid someone else would steal her heart. I wanted to be with her forever. And I still do.

I scooted closer to her and held her in my arms never wanting to let go. We used to do this all the time but in a friend way. It feels so different now.

Julia's POV

I don't know why, but I felt so safe in his arms. We used to do this all the time but now, it feels different. I want to stay in his arms forever. I felt so safe, and I have never felt safe in a long time.

"Niall, promise me one thing, never hurt me again."

"I promise. You are my princess and princess's should never be hurt. I will protect you." He replied.

"Thank you" I say.

Our 'moment' was interrupted by someone shouting.
