Chapter 32: Function

Bel's P.O.V:

It has been a quite interesting week, same old threats yet, new information. They said that the 4 murders are serial killers, and they were teamed up by someone. Who's that someone? No clue, yet. I'm okay, a bit shook up and scared but still living. William's having fun, you know? Missing school and just enjoying what he likes to call 'vacation'. Niall has been a great help, like always. He never fails to paint a smile and make me laugh, the infection he's capable of doing never ceases to amaze me.

People sometimes say that 'when life brings you down, it's your choice to either stand up again or stay down'. In this case, life has brought me down so many times and every time I end up standing up, by myself. But now I just can't, it's like I have twisted my ankle and is just incapable to stand up again, without anyone's help. So Niall is that 'anyone' in this case. He is helping me rise on my feet every time I fall. He is a hero. A one that can free you from your problems, a great help to need if you ever fell. I just wish that he'd be here to stay, and not to say goodbye. Because saying 'goodbye' means going away, and going away means forgetting.

"Deep in thoughts?" I was snapped out of zone by Niall's soothing voice, making me glance at him only to be greeted by his crooked smile.

"Yeah..." I answer and he frowns, taking my hand in his, lacing our fingers together as I smiled at him.

"About?" He asks, his frown only grows wider as he heard me sigh deeply.

"All of this, nothing important to rant about.." I spoke truthfully, laying my head on his shoulder as he laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Why the laugh?" I asked and he laughed even louder, shooting me a warm smile before talking.

"Because you don't have to sweat about anything anymore" He spoken, his lips tugged onto a warm smile as I sighed.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked, confusion written all over me.

"Because I'll protect you no matter what Bel, remember? I'll take a bullet for you" He spoke, his words touched a soft spot in my heart making tears erupt in my eyes, trying my best to hold them inside.

"How did I get so lucky?" I whispered, swallowing the cry that was growing in my throat, laying my head back on his shoulder.

"You didn't, but I know I did..." He whispered back as he hugged me tightly, singing a lullaby and stroking my hair lightly.

It's moments like these I just question him and why is he still here? Is it really all because of love? It can't be because.... Well, just because it can't. But if so; then love surely is a powerful & magical thing.

"Pardon me?" I blink at him in shockness, trying to let his hurtful words sink inside of my head.

"We just found out that William's mom isn't really your mom..." He repeated again, pity held in his eyes making me want to punch something. How could it be? I mean.. She never told me and so have my dad. I never remember having another mom besides her, never.

"How so?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowed at him in curiosity, still frozen my shock state.

"Apparently, after we re-tested the DNA test, seems to be that you have 50% of your DNA in it, and William isn't included. We re-read your personal file and it was mentioned that your mother isn't really your mother. To our opinion, your real mother left you & your father and just left..." He explained and I stared at him in disbelief, blinking rapidly in surprise, my jaw was slightly hung open, feeling like I was on the verge of tears.

"Wow, now that's a lot to try and understand" I joke my own lame joke, choking on my cry, tears fell down my cheeks, the tears stung as I blinked them away.

"Bel.." William tried to embrace me, but I pushed him away with rage, watching his eyes flash with hurt.

"No, I can't do this now..." I spoke as I ran out of the station, tears falling down rapidly, my cheeks were red as I sobbed quietly.

Why does my life suck?

Why do I have to loose so many people that I care about?

People I love?
