Niall's Pov:

I didn't want this, I didn't want to leave him, I didn't want to cause anyone any pain, But I didn't have a choice. Being away from him it kills me. I did this for him, I did this to keep him safe from harm. People were after me, Certain people wanted me dead and they'd do anything to see it happen, Including hurt the people I care about. I had to disappear until they were found, It was the best thing for everybody, It was all I could do to keep my loved ones safe. They were told I had died, Brutally murdered, Nobody was aloud to see my body because my family were told the site wasn't a nice one, The real reason was because the body wasn't mine. I was closer to my love ones then they thought, I watched them grieve, I watched as the world collapsed around them. I saw the tears and screams of grief come from them, It shattered my insides one bone at a time. Only one person knew that I wasn't dead, That person was Perrie, She was working to keep me safe, She was undercover assigned to protect me and get me out the moment things turned bad. I'm in contact with her still, I have been for the past year. A year, One whole, Long year, A year of pain and suffering, Of tears and screams of terror, A year of watching the man I love fall apart. He's suffering, His grief is taking over his life, But I can't do anything, I can't hold him and tell him everythings ok, I can't end his suffering because that'd mean putting him in danger, I can't and I won't do that. 

I've held on for as long as I can, I've watched the people I love suffer for long enough. Perrie informed me that the people who were after me have been caught and arrested, The moment I was off the phone with her I began packing my bags, I know I'd have alot of explaining to do, But I have to go home, I need to see the people I love again. I can't allow them to suffer for a moment longer. I used all the money that I had, It left me with nothing but I didn't care, I didn't care because I knew I'd be back with Zayn soon. I arrived back home in the dead of night, Nobody would be home, Zayn would be out no doubt drinking. He's been doing that alot since I left, At least that's what Perrie told me. Zayn he never moved on, He couldn't, He never stopped loving me, He always held onto my memory and swore he'd never love anybody the way he loved me. When I walked into the apartment we once shared it was nothing like I remembered, It was dark, The place was a mess, A sigh fell from my lips as I walked around the apartment, I walked into mine and Zayn's bedroom, Everything was the same. Zayn had kept everything of mine, My clothes, My aftershave, My deodorant, My shampoo, My shoes. The pictures of us were still hung up in a massive collage on the wall. 

I cleaned the house as best as I could, When Zayn came home I wanted him to be greeted by warmth, Not coldness, He's been in the dark and cold for to long. After I was done cleaning I laid my body down on the couch, I quickly glanced over at the clock on the wall, The clock wasn't moving, I shook my head, Why'd you do this Zayn? Why'd you give up on everything? I don't know when but I ended up falling asleep, I was awoken by the sound of voices.

"It can't be" Liam exclaimed.

"No, No it's, It's not possible" Harry chocked.

"It's gotta be a ghost" Louis stated.

"Looks pretty human like for a ghost" Liam said.

"Niall? Ni?" I heard Zayn's familiar voice, It was croaky and weak but it was still his voice, The voice I've been longing to hear, My eyes slipped open and there he was stood infront of me, Unshaven with confusion in his eyes, I smiled weakly before sitting up.

"Zayn" I said, His eyes widened.

"Is, Is it really you?" He chocked out, I slowly stood up before nodding my head. 

"It's me" I exclaimed, Tears were filling mine and Zayn's eyes, The other boys were frozen on the spot, Zayn slowly walked towards me raising his hand, I stayed still. His hand moved towards my face, He cupped my cheek and a gasp fell from his lips. 

"It's you, It's really you" Zayn cried out before collapsing into my arms, He cried uncontrollably into my chest as I held him close to me, His body was shaking but his grip was tight, I looked over to the rest of the lads.

"How? How is this even possible?" Liam exclaimed.

"You were dead, We, The police they, They told us you were gone, We, We buried you" Louis chocked out. 

"I'm sorry, I, I didn't have a choice" I cried out, All the lads looked at me with confusion but they still moved towards me and embraced me in a tight hug.

"Niall what happened?" Liam asked as Zayn pulled me down to the couch, He then wrapped his arms tightly around me.

"Someone was setting out to kill me, They'd do anything they could to hurt me, Even if that meant hurting the people I love, I couldn't risk it, I couldn't let them hurt my family, You guys, I couldn't let them hurt you" I said.

"Why didn't you tell us? We could have done something to help you" Harry exclaimed, I shook my head.

"No, No you couldn't, I had protection around me, Perrie she was assigned to help me get away if things got worse, And they did, They came here and they were gonna hurt you guys I had to do something, I'm sorry, I know, I know I hurt you guys and I put you through something that was unbearable but you have to understand, I did it to save you all" I stated.

"Where did you go?" Louis questioned.

"That dosen't matter, I don't wanna talk about the past or anything that's happened, I know your all confused, But I just need you to understand that I did what I had to, Please just respect that?" I pleaded.

"We accept it, No more questions" Zayn stated, All the boys looked at him.

"I don't care where he's been all I care about is that he's here now, I spent so long grieving over him, Wishing he was here and now he is, I'm not gonna lose him again" Zayn exclaimed, I squeezed his hand tightly, All the boys nodded. 

"If you want answers talk to Perrie, She knows everything" I said.

"We'll call your family after we've spoken to her" Harry informed me.

"Come on let's leave them alone" Liam stated before smiling warmly at me, I returned the smile before touching each of there hands, I then watched as they left the room, As they left me alone with Zayn. I looked at him.

"I'm sorry Zayn, I'm sorry for everything, For all the pain, The grief, I never wanted to hurt you, But I had to protect you" I exclaimed, Zayn looked at me before slowly shaking his head, He raised his hand to silence me.

"Shh, Stop, Niall for the past year I've had to live a life without you, A life that was cold and empty, A life I didn't want. What you did, You did to protect me, I know you Niall, I know you'd only do something if you thought it was the best thing. Niall I love you, I love you so much" Zayn explained, I smiled warmly at him, Zayn then slowly got to his feet, He extended his hand to me. "Lay with me, Please" He pleaded, I took hold of his hand before nodding my head, Zayn smiled before pulling me to my feet he then placed one of his arms around my back and then he lifted me up bridal style and carried me to our bedroom. As he laid me down on the bed I gripped hold of his hand and pulled his body down beside mine. Zayn pulled me into his arms and held onto me tightly. 

"Never leave me again Niall, Please" Zayn pleaded, I looked up at him before gently kissing his lips.

"I'll never leave you again, I promise"
