Behind Closed Doors [1D FanFic]

[24] True Love?

Niall's POV -1 week since Estelle's release-

Estelle has also slowly been gaining weight as we make her finnish every meal as well as eat every meal. I also stay near the bathroom when she goes in by herself and if she is in there longer than 3 minutes I knock on the door to check her. We have removed all razors and knives from her reach as she is quite short and replaced her razor with wax. I think she was a little shocked by the change but I hope she was more happy that we care so much about her, which we do, I do.

"Niall..."

"Yeah Elle?" I ask

"I just got off the phone with my social worker" She says

"Oh, what did he want?" I ask, expecting the worst

"They have put me in foster care, my first foster family is in..." She whispers so quietly I don't catch the last part

"What was that love?" I ask

"P-paris" She cries

"What? No, you can't leave" I demand

"I have to, I am getting picked up tomorrow"

"This can't be happening, you can't be moving, your the best thing that has ever happened to me" I cry

"Awh, babe please don't cry" Elle begs

"I love you so much"

"I love you more" She says planting a soft kiss on my lips

"Can we go out?" I ask

"Sure, where?"

"I have something planned" I say cheekily

"Really?" She asks

"Of course" I tell her "HEY GUYS, ELLE AND I ARE GOING OUT!"

"CYA MATE" Harry yells from I think his room

"You boys are crazy...I'm gonna miss you all so much"

"Save your tears babe, your not leaving yet" I comfort her "Let's go to the car" I say taking her hand and walking to the car

Once we are in the car, she speaks "So... where we goin'?" She asks

"Don't you remember, I'm never going to tell you" I laugh

"Whatever" She laughs with me

For about an hour we just drive around London, talking about everything and anything trying to make the best of the little time we have left together. I learnt that Estelle has never had a solid friend before me, that she has been starving herself since she was 8, that she has been harming herself since she was 10 after everyone told her she was worthless, teachers, students and her father also that when we told her that her mother died of cancer almost a year ago she pretended not to care too much because she didn't want to be an annoying little girl whom we would want to get rid of straight away but of course that wasn't the case, I just wish she told me sooner.

"Can you see any parking bays?" I ask interrupting our silence

"Ummm, Oh there is one there!" Elle points right outside the restaurant 'Berners Tavern'

"Well spotted love" I wink

"Stop your making me blush!" She yells covering her cheeks with her hands

"Let's go inside" I say "Love" I add laughing

"Stop it Niall" She smiles

I make my way out of the car and run over to Elle's side of the car and open her door
