In The Shadows (Niall Horan DARK Fanfiction)

Come Back To Me - 24

*Thanks for being patient*

*Niall POV*

*One Day Later*

When I woke up I felt like I could throw up. My head was pounding.

I looked around and realized I was back in my bedroom, under my navy blue duvet.

Only my room was different...

Fuck.

I sat up quickly before looking around my room.

Empty.

All of Savannah's things we're gone.

I ran my fingers through my hair as I felt my heart sink. She must have left while I was passed out.

Things are so messed up.

I was protecting her, I was even starting to earn her trust but then Harry and Mike used me to try and get her killed.

They framed me!

Now that she doesn't even want to talk to me... I have no way of protecting her...

I was so busy protecting her from other people, I should have been protecting her from myself...

I got out of bed and I had to grab the wall for support. I still felt dizzy...

I almost died. For the second time.

I looked down at myself realizing I was still wearing my dirty vest and jeans. I desperately needed a shower.

I walked into my white bathroom before stripping my clothes off and stepping into the shower and turning it on full power.

As soon as the warm water hit my cold body it reminded me of her.

She was always so warm...

Compared to me anyway. I had to sort this out. Her and I both know that Harry and Mike are going after her.

I need to protect her.

I just don't know why.

Maybe because I've never had someone to properly care for. Or someone to care for me.

*Savannah POV*

I woke up instantly recognizing the room around me and I smiled to myself. I had my apartment back. I could finally get my life back on track!

*Flashback to yesterday evening*

Collage went really great. Tegan didn't really suspect much, but she really cheered me up, which I was grateful for.

But where am I ment to stay?

I can't live in the house with the boys.

I know it wasn't entirely Nialls fault... But it was a wakeup call that I cannot get closer with him. I didn't even question it when he asked me to go meet him in a warehouse!

I needed to grab my things from the house. Maybe my apartment was still open for rent...

As I reached the house, I clicked the door open before slowly creaking upstairs.

I shouldn't be doing this. I feel like I'm intruding... But I need to do this. The boys expected me home anyway.

I wish it didn't have to be like this...

I opened Nialls door and my jaw dropped. He was passed out across his bed, and he looked terrible.

He looked so vulnerable... His skin was paler than normal and his hair was a complete mess.
