Every Girls Dream

Chapter 4

*Emily's p.o.v*

The stairs begin to creak, and I begin to mentally scream. I hide behind my door, and I see a shadow of a man walk in. I squeeze my eyes shut and swing the Hockey stick I have a death grip on.

"Umpf.." the unknown being grunts.

I peak through my eyes now knowing the figure is in pain. I widen my eyes at the sight before me.

"Niall?!" I screech. He half smiles from the ground.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Ni! I had no clue it was you! Are you okay??" I ramble.

"Y-yea. I-i'm f-f-fine" he states, pain etched into his facial features.

"Here" I bend down to help him up. Niall rises and winces. I feel terrible. I should have been careful and look before I swung my choice of weapon.

"Wait here, okay" he nods. I walk out of my room.

*Niall's P.O.V*

I pulled up into Emily's driveway. I was stopping by to give her the sweater she left in my car the other morning, when she needed a ride to school.

I walk up to the door and knock.

No answer. I knock again.

Still no answer. I grab the knob and realize the door is unlocked. I slowly open the door and walk in. The door then slams. Must have been a wind current from outside. It is oddly windy out today.

I hear movement coming from upstairs. Ah that must be where Emily is! I head towards the stairs and gradually begin to climb. I get to what I imagine is her room. I walk through the doorway. and WACK! I'm hit in the gut with a stick! like what the hell?!

"Niall?!" I hear a girl screech. I look up and see Emily completely confused and surprised. Her hair is still wet. she must have just gotten out of the shower.I half smile from the floor.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Ni! I had no clue it was you! Are you okay??" She rambles.

"Y-yea. I-i'm f-f-fine" I say, with my stomach throbbing.

"Here" She bends down to help me up. I wince, and then try to quickly cover it up. I don't want to look like a wimp in front of Em.

"Wait here, okay" I nod, and she leaves the room.

Once I see her fully leave I take my shirt off to see the damage done. I have a huge bruise already forming across my abdomen. I reach and trace my fingers across the red mark, then wince. Wow, Em really has a hard hit.

I look up to the doorway, when I hear Emily walk in. She carries with her an ice pack and a bottle of water along with some Advil.

*Emily's P.O.V*

After grabbing the necessities I needed from the kitchen, I run back up the steps taking two at a time. Once I re-enter the room, I see Niall with his shirt off. I find myself staring, and when Niall clears his throat I notice and look away with heat rising to my cheeks.

I stroll over to Niall and hand him the bottle of water with two Advil.

"Here. take these for your pain." he murmurs a small Thank-you and takes the pills from me and gulps them down with a sip of water.

"I'm really sorry Niall. I didn't mean it. I got scared and panicked." I explained handing him the ice pack. he applied it to his toned abbs and whimpered softly. I don't think he thinks I heard but I did.

"No it's ok. I shouldn't have barged in like that. I should have given you a call or something.."

"Why are you here anyways" I question. he pulls out a red fabric from his jacket pocket. I took a closer look, and it was my sweater.
