Chapter 30: Fitting

Bel's P.O.V:

"We need to get out" I argued with him as I tried shoving my clothes in my large suitcase, my eyes bloodshot from crying and my body was drained out of energy. We can't stay here. None of us is safe. We need to call or tell someone, we can't just smile and forget it ever happened.

"We need to, but we can't leave the country without telling the police, this a serious issue" Niall explained as he tightened his grip around my hand, making me turn my gaze to him, our eyes for a second and it's like I could picture the future. If he's gone, I'm gone too. I won't stay alive regretting every second; living on guilt and regret. I lost my parents, my best friend and now I'm risking my lover's and brother's life? Why have I dragged them into this? I should die and let them rest in peace.

"I can't just stand here and and watch you and William's life approach to an ending, I can't loose you Niall, don't you understand?! I'm not gonna live on guilt, thinking and blaming my dumb self for dragging you into this, you should be at college, living your life as a normal young adult. But instead, your here with me, trying to stay up with the shit I make, and although you know your life is in danger, you still don't give up?!" I spoke softly, my eyes were teary as I hugged him for dear life, not wanting to let go, never.

"Shhh now, who said anything about my life is in great danger? Being beside you is what going to make you safe, your my home, Bel. I can't just leave you and William, knowing that both your life is in danger. I'd take a bullet for you, Bel. I don't care if you push me away or if you tell me you hate me, I'm not going anywhere, I'll always be by your side.." He spoke and I bursted into tears, soft sobs escaping my lips as I hugged him tightly, my mind asking a certain question.

"How did I get so lucky?" I asked, looking into his eyes with sadness, a spark of happiness was sparking in my brown irises.

"No, it's how "I" got lucky" He spoke with a warm smile, stroking my hair slowly as he whispered a lullaby, a soft smile plastered at his lips.

And at that particular moment, I knew he'd never go away. And then I had a quite of a flashback that made me smile widely.

"Niall?" I asked, aware of my question but I have to ask after all.

"Yeah?" He answered in a sleepy voice.

"If I ever hurt you unpurpously, would you leave me?" I asked as rested my head on his chest, his hand wrapped around my waist.

"I'll never leave you no matther what" He spoke honestly, I needed his word though.

"Promise?" I asked glancing at him.

"I promise" He answered as he kissed my forehead before I went in deep slumber.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked, chuckling a bit as I snuggled closer on his chest, my wide smile just got wider by the memory.

"Nothing" I mutter as I yawned widely, my eyes watered up a bit. I don't know why, but every time I yawn, a tear slips down. Every time.

"Sleepy?" He asked, smiling softly, resting his hand on mine.

"Mhmmm" I murmmed as I felt two strong arms wrap around me, picking me up slowly.

"Please check on William, he seems a bit shaken by what happened" I spoke softly and he smile widely, making his face brighten.

"Sure, but you need to take some rest now, we have a long day tomorrow" He spoke as he rested me on the bed, cover me with a blanket as I dug my head in my pillow, the smooth mattress made me sigh in relaxation.

"Niall?" I asked, trying to open my eyes a bit, ignoring the fact that I'm tired as hell.

"Yeah?" He asked, a sly smile painted on his lips.

"Niall?" I asked, aware of my question but I have to ask after all.

"Yeah?" He answered in a sleepy voice.

"Promise me you'd never leave me" I spoke and he sighed, looking at me straight in the eyes.

"I'll never leave you no matter what" He spoke honestly, I needed his word though.

"Promise?" I asked glancing at him.

"I promise" He answered as he kissed my forehead, walking out of the door, and before I knew it, I went in deep slumber.
