The Broken and Hurt (Niall Horan)

Chapter 11

Niall's POV 

I wake up and Lizzie is still asleep, her arms still draped around my neck and shoulders. She looks so peaceful. Warmth is radiating off her flawless skin and there is a pink colour in her cheeks becasue it is quite toasty in the car. WAit...How  long have we been asleep? I can't reach my phone without waking her up, so I scan the car for the clock on the dash but i can't seem to find it. A purple object in her skirt pocket,  Her phone! I slip it out quickly and hit the lock button. 3:27 pm. We have been asleep for a half hour! I haven't slept like that in a while. Refreshed and not scared or worried. I put her phone back without her noticing. 

I don't want to wake her up, but I really need to get home. God she looks so beautiful. "Elizabeth. Wake up please." I nudge her shoulder. Her eyes flutter open. They are bloodshot and puffy from crying.  Why did i ever tell her that?

"What's wrong Niall? Did I fall asleep? Oh I'm so sorry! That was probably really uncomfortable. I didn't mean to!" She quickly untangles herself from me and sits back in her seat. SHe starightens out her clothes quickly and looks over to me. " DO you wanna go home? Before your parents..ya know.." Her eyes dart back to the dash.

"Yes. Please that would be great." I like the idea of having her know about my  family.

Lizzie's POV

"No problem." I put the car in drive and we pull out of the parking lot. The ride is quiet except the drone of teh radio and the occassionally interjection from Niall on where to turn. I think about his story. I never knew about his family. I just assumed that he was just a little off. He only stays for his younger brother who he loves to death. Would Tony do that for me if we were in the situation? I would think so. My eyes dart over to him. There is an unreadable expression on his face. What is he thinking about? I hope he isn't cross with me for falling asleep on him.

"Its this house right here." His husky voice breaks through my thoughts. I pull into the driveway of a nice looking house. It looks normal on the outside but the things that go on insdie are far worse from waht Niall said earlier. 

"Thanks Elizabeth. You're the best. I -i'm sorry if what iI told affected you badly in any way. I just... I'm sorry." He looks....ashamed of what happened.

"Oh Niall. I'm fine. I just need a some tiem to process whats going on is all. If your parents ever get super awful, let me know I'll come pick you and Ed up and you can crash at my house. Okay? I'm here for you. Just let me know. " I give a welcominmg and understanding smile back. His eyes fill with Gratitude.

"Thank you Elizabeth. YOu don't know how much that means to me. I hope its to no inconvience of you or your family." 

"Its the least I can do for you..and Ed." He nods, opens the dorr and is almost ou tthe door. "Niall! Wait! Give me your phone really quick!" A A confused look comes on his face as he nervously hands me his phone. I unlock teh phone and a picture of Niall and a small boy are the background. That must be Ed. I put my phone number in save it under 'Lizzie Reeds :)'. I hand him his phone back. He takes it and walks away. I pull out of the drive and head home. Today was an interesting day. One of the only Taylor Swift songs I like came on the radio.

"'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello." And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name Everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and I'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed"
