*Nialls pov*

Ryan sat on the ground. Her beautiful face had all those bruises still.

"Why are you staring at me." She questioned me.

I looked out the big window. There was something off about her. And I plan on finding out. She seemed.. different.. like she wasn't like the others. And I like it.

*Ryans pov*

Im not really used to guys staring at me like that. I mean, sure, guys stare at me, but not like he was. His eyes were gorgeous. His tattoos are sexy. Hes so sweet. And he is the male version of me!

"Uh.. wheres Cody?" I asked, looking up at Niall.

Niall and I were the only people in the room. I have no idea where Louis and Cody went. Probably to Louis' flat.

He looked at me and smiled, "hm.. i think at lou's. Im not sure"

My heart fluttered when he smiled at me. When he talked I was so infatuated with his accent. Oh my gosh he is so cute.

"Thanks" I said looking at my black converse high tops and frowning

"Aye." He said looking down at me. "Theres something wrong. Tell me."

How did he know something was wrong I thought I hid it well.

Tears sprang to my eyes. I lowered my head. "Nothing" I said, my voice cracking.

He got up and sat next to me.

"Spill." He said, tilting my head up.

"I-" I started but as soon as i started to talk I burst into tears.

His big, muscular arms wrapped around my small, frail, body. He pulled me close to him and my ear was up to his chest. I could hear his heartbeat and it calmed me down quite a bit. I moved closer to him, still sobbing un controllably.

"Im scared." I said as my voice quavered.

"I will protect you. I promise." He whispered.

He held me for a while longer until I calmed down. While we hugged, I felt something. Like we were meant to be together or something.

"Are you okay?" He asked, looking into my blue eyes.

I nodded. I really wasn't okay. Not after what happened a few shorts hours ago.

"I know what will make you feel better! Do you wanna go out for a while?" He asked standing up.

"Uhm.. Where?" I said raising an eyebrow and sniffling.

"Hm.. Do you want me to take you shopping?" He asked, obviously just going by what other girls like to do.

He was only trying to help though. Even though I don't really like to go shopping I said yes anyway. He smiled at me.

"What store do you wanna go to?" Niall asked me, obviously tired out.

"I don't know. But Im starving." I said holding my stomach.

He nodded in agreement and we walked down the busy streets of London. I shivered. Niall took his jacket off and wrapped it around my small body.

"Niall-" I started.

He put his hand up. "As long as you're warm."

I blushed and looked down. He laughed.

"What?" I asked giggling.

"Nothing its just you're cute when you blush" He shyly.

I smiled at him. "Thanks."

He was trying to flirt with me. I knew he was. When we got to Nandos, he opened the door for me. I had a feeling this was more than just going shopping. And I liked it. We sat down at our table.

"So, how do you like London so far?" He asked with a smile.

"Its so cold. I miss Cali. A lot. Especially the rest of the gang." I said quietly and sighed.

The rest of the time we waited for our food we were silent. When the waitress gave us our food I ate fast.

"Whoa, slow down." Niall said smiling at me.

"I wanna go home." I said as tears sprang to my eyes. "Home as in the United States."

Niall got up and went to go pay for the food. He didn't even bother letting her come to us.

"Come on. Were going home." He said holding put his hand.

I grabbed it and got up. When we got outside I let go of his hand and walked down the street really fast.

"Hey, lets just call a taxi." He said, looking at me with his sad blue eyes. "I wanna get to my flat as soon as possible."

When he got to the apartment building we walked into the elevator. I looked down at my shoes.

"Ryan," He said, turning to me, "I want you to be happy. I know you've been heart badly in the past. I can see it I your eyes. When you smile. When you laugh. I always can. You try and hide it. But I can tell your depressed. I want to help you. I want to help make you feel pure happiness again." He whispered.

Tears stung the back of my eyes.

"I feel like you're the only person who cares." I sobbed as a tear rolled down my cheek.

I flinched as he wiped the tear away. He looked into my bloodshot eyes. We both leaned in a little bit closer and he pressed his lips against mine. He pulled me closer and our bodies were pressed together. We kissed for a short while longer ad we both pulled away.

"S-sorry." He said, looking down and blushing.

"It's okay.. I actually sort of.. liked it." I said blushing.

But this time, I didn't look down.
