Monster (Niall Horan)

Chapter 11: The Plan

Chapter 11:

I woke up to the sound of an unfamiliar iPhone ringing and a protective arm around me, holding me close. "Hey," I said shaking Niall. "Ni, wake up. Your phone's ringing." 

"I know, I just wanted to hear you wake me up so I could hear your sexy sleepy voice." He said with his very own. 

"Mine? Have you heard yours?" I asked with a playful shove. 

"Whatever, Sade." Niall said with a louder tone in his voice. He arose from his position in bed and stretched, meanwhile I just laid there. 

"What time is it?" I asked him. 

"Uh, six-fourteen. Class starts in an hour and forty-five. The guys around here normally wake up at seven so if you leave now, you can escape without them seeing you." He went over to the door and flicked the lightswitch on, since the sun didn't rise yet. I got up out of bed and grabbed my things to bring them into the bathroom.

Once I finished changing, I did my hair and makeup, just as I remembered that I needed to fix up Niall's bruises. "Niall," I shout-whispered. "come here, I need to touch up your face." I heard him groan a silent one and he walked to the bathroom. 

"Can I come in?" Niall asked politely. I replied yes and once he opened the door, he took a double take of me. "Man, I sure am glad I asked you to sleep over  last night," He added with a wink. 

"Shut up, Niall and come over here." I said to him. He nodded and came in my direction. "You look horrible! Doesn't your face hurt?" I asked. 

"Not a bit," He said sarcastically.

"I asked for an answer, not sarcasm, Niall." I said back to him. He mumbled a small sorry and I grabbed his face with one hand, holding a foundation brush in the other. "Alright, so just tell me if it hurts." I lightly brushed the powder to his eye and a little on his forehead. I dabbed a bit of water on it to make it look natural. Next, I grabbed some swell remover from my bag at put it on his eye and his nose. 

"I wish I could see you this close up every day," He said to me. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a washcloth out of my bag to clean up the blood. After I was finished, Niall looked great, like nothing had even happened. Together, we got ready and we were out of the dorm by six fourty-five. Niall carried my stuff down to my dorm and placed it in there, to be greeted by Carlie, who had breakfast all ready for us. "Hey, Carlie. Sorry about last night... a couple things happened.." Niall trailed. 

"Was it Luke?" Carlie asked. I nodded in unison with Niall. "That son of a bitch, I tell you. He tried coming down here last night after you left. He wanted you for some reason but I said you were sleeping." I just shook my head. 

"He came up to Niall's last night, before and after Ni texted you. Can you tell that his face is beat up?"

Carlie shook her head no. "No, why?" She asked. "Did he do something to you?" 

"Yeah, but I was passed out so I didn't know what happened.." Niall said. 

"Oh, so this was before. What about when he came back?" Carlie wondered. 

"He came back drunk... with a gun.." I said quietly.

"What?!" Carlie basically screamed.

"Shhh! You're going to scare people!" I said to calm her.

"A gun doesn't scare you?!" She said, obviously alarmed. "He could've shot and killed you guys! Come here!" She gestured. We all came in for a group hug. "I love you guys." 

"We love you, too." I said to her and pulled away, remembering breakfast on the table. "Thanks for the food!" I said. "I'm freakin' starved!" 

"Ditto," Niall added. He looked kinda awkward, but he's get used to the girlyness.
