Scars Don't fade (Niall horan fanfic)

Chapter 27

I rode in Niall's car on the way home, listening to the radio. Listening to the radio in silence helped me unwind from the day. Niall turned off the car my que to get out.

He didn't say anything nor did I, and we walked in a comfortable silence to the house. We really didn't need words, I felt close enough to him we were comfortable in silence.

"Jess!" Lou said greeting us at the door.

"Hey Louboo." I said, like I hadn't seen him a few hours ago.

We went inside and I went straight to my room. I was dead tired even though I hadn't done much that day. It was probably a combination of the stress, and being sick. I decided to watch a show or two before I went to bed because it was still a little early for bed right now.

"Jess, do you mind if I join you?" Niall asked peeking his head in the door.

"No, there's room." I said with a smile patting the empty space beside me on the bed.

"Okay." He came over and sat down. He lay back and pulled the covers over both of us.

I was watching Thirteen Reasons Why. So far I liked the storyline. It had so much emotion and it was a beautiful story of lost love and how everything you did and said effected someone in ways you can't imagine.

"You like it so far?" Niall asked gesturing at the TV.

"Yeah have you seen it?"

"No, but it sound interesting from what I've heard."

"Yeah it is so far I'm only on episode four though."

"Cool, now let's watch." He said with a chuckle.

We watched two episodes before I started yawning and decided it was probably time for bed.

"Ready for bed?" He asked after I had yawned for probably the sixth time since we had started watching.

"Yeah." I said followed by a yawn then a laugh.

"I see." He said smiling.

"Well good night Jess sweet dreams." He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.

I tilted my head up so my lips brushed his. It still made sparks fly when we kissed, and I loved the feeling. I never wanted to let it go.

He smiled into the kiss and I couldn't help but smile back. We pulled away and he gave me a grin before walking over to his room.

The stupid grin stayed stuck on my face for a few minutes afterward. He made me feel like a kid, and I loved the feeling. I loved him, but I was scared to admit it. What if he didn't love me back? But only liked me. I didn't want to say I was in love again, it seemed dangerous after what I'd been through. I contemplated saying it to him the next night, but being the shy person I was I decided to let him say it first.

I fell asleep with the smell of him next to me. It was comforting and I slept well with not a single nightmare.

Good morning beautiful." Someone, it sounded like Niall, but I wasn't sure, whispered in my ear.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Niall. His eyes were a bright blue, and he looked rested.

"Morning babe." I mumbled so it came out more of. " Morfing mabe."

He smiled and brushed the hair back from my face he leaned in about to kiss me when I pushed on his chest stopping him.

"What's wrong?" He asked concern on his face.

"I have morning breath." I said feeling self-conscious.
