Silence (Niall Horan)

Chapter 6

( I have made an Instagram now! Make sure you follow me. @officialsilence )

"What's going to happen to Diana?" I whip away the tears.

"You're important too Becka."

"I'm going off to college next year. I want to make sure she is okay and isn't stuck between the two of you." She's my baby sister. I can't allow that.

"I'm giving full custody to Isabella. We are going to arrange holidays and birthdays."

I'm glad that she won't have to go threw any more fights. I'm worried about leaving Diana alone. She depends on me too much. Even if she's 16, she's still very young. Luckily, I will only be a fe minutes away if she ever needs me.

My alarm goes off and I slowly get out of bed. I hardly got any sleep last night. As I walk into the restroom, images of Niall and I fill my head. I smile at the thought of how he made me feel. A frown takes over my face as I remember who he is. A stranger. I gave one of my most intimate moments to a stranger.

As I walk into Mr. Fernandez's class, Zayn is sitting in his usual seat. He's even earlier than me.

"Ah, Mr. Martinez! Good morning!" Mr. Fernandez greets me with a smile. I simply reply with a smile.

"Do you think I can talk to you in private before class begins?" he asks rubbing his hands together.

"Uh, sure." I look back at Zayn and his eyes are focused on the window.

"I know this is um, inappropriate but um," he says as we walk into the hall way "would you mind coming to this book signing with me. I think you would enjoy it and I honestly have no one to go with. It will be like a student-teacher thing and I might even give you extra credit!" he jokes.

I purse my lips. I have always wanted to go to a book signing but have never had the chance. I just don't know if going with my teacher is the best idea.

"I understand if you don't." he looks down.

"No! I would love too!"

"Really?" his eyes lighten up. "Um, well it's this Friday so we can arrange something."

The bell rings and I head to the cafeteria. I spot Jenny and walk over to their table.

"Oh hey, we were just talking about you!"

"You were?" I sit down and take a sip of my ice tea.

"Yeah. I can't believe you and Niall are going out!"

I spit back into my cup. What? Oh my god. Did he tell them? That son of a...

"Hey guys!" I know that voice very well.

"Niall, can we have a second in private?" I stand up. He nods and I grab his arm.

"What the hell! We aren't dating! What were you thinking?" I scream right after we cross a door that leads to the patio.

"I know. I'm sorry. They asked me what we did after and I told them I took you to get some food and I, I don't know why I said that. I just really like you." he looks down.

My heart drops. I feel terrible for screaming at him. I lift his chin up and press my lips against his. My hands instantly go around his neck and lightly pull on his hair. His hands travel down to my waist and he pulls me in closer.

I feel him slip out of my hands. His lips aren't on mine anymore. Where is he? I need him.

I open my eyes and he is on the floor. There's someone on top of him and he is hitting him. Hard. It's Zayn.

"Zayn stop!" I scream.

My scream causes every one to turn and move in. Great, an audience. I go up to Zayn and tug on his shirt to get him off Niall. I feel someone grab me by the waist and pick me up. They are carrying me further away from the scene. I kick my feet and try to wiggle out of their arms but they are too strong. I see Louis and Liam pulling Zayn off of Niall. I am now inside. I am still kicking my feet and trying to get loose.

They finally set me down and I realize who it is. They is Harry.

I begin to run outside again and Harry grabs me in his arms and hugs me tightly.

"No! No! Let me go! I have to go out there!" I scream. I feel everyone in the cafeteria staring at me.

"You will just make it worse. You need to stay in here. At least for now." he almost whispers. The smoothness of my voice calms me down.

"Oh my god! What happened? Beckie, are you okay?" I hear Jenny scream. I can't see her anywhere. In fact, I can't see anything. I begin to loose sight and sound. Suddenly, everything is pitch black.

I open my eyes and a bright light makes me shut them again. It's cold and I smell chlorine. A hospital? I open my eyes again and sit up. I look around and see a lady in a navy blue nurse's uniform. She is cleaning up someone's face. There is a lot of blood. Niall.

I jump out of bed and run to the spot where I see the nurse. Arms go around my waist and pull me back once again. No. I need to see Niall. I need to kiss him. Know that he's alright.

They take me back to the bed and sit me down.

"He's fine. You on the other hand. You need to rest. You hit your head pretty hard." Harry whispers.

I look at him and his green eyes are focused on me. I look back at Niall and he is now walking over to me. Harry moves out of the way and Niall takes his place. His lip is busted. His eye is swelling up and I know that will become a black eye.

"Are you okay?" he smiles.

I nod. His hands are holding mine and he is standing only a few inches away from me. I want to kiss him. So bad.

"Rebecca, I suggest you go home. You need some rest. Is there anyone who can pick you up?" the nurse interrupts my thoughts.

"No. Both my parents are at work." I mumble.

"I'll take her home mum." Harry says.

Mum? I look up at the nurse and she is beautiful. Just like Harry. I hadn't payed much attention to her but I did notice an accent.

"Is that okay with you?" she smiles at me.

I look at Niall and he nods. He kisses my forehead and whispers "I'll see you soon."
