Afriad To Trust

Chapter 21

Here chapter 21. Enjoy!

Nialls POV

Its 5 in the morning meaning I only got about 2 hours of sleep. I cant really sleep because I cant get what I saw with Ro in the bathroom outta my head. It was scary.The lads and I have been up for about a hour now just discussing things that need to be discussed. I felt Ro move from my chest. I look down to be met with her eyebrows scrunched together along with her eyes squeezed shut. A small groan escaped her lips. I feel weight being lifted off of my chest. I look down again to be met with Ro's hazel brown eyes.  I lean down and whisper into her eye-

"Go back to sleep it early darlin."

Ro just mumbles okay and lays her head onto my lap instead of my chest. I soon hear her breathing even out. I run my fingers through her hair in a smoothing manner, soothing myself more than anything. I'm nervous for asking the question I want to ask. No, its not to ask Rosie out but to convince Liam to adopt Rosie. I say Liam because, he's the responsible one. Or Zayn would be a good one he's getting to be more responsible now that Rosie's been around.

"So we should call Simon today, we go some things to settle and discuss." Liam says.

" Yeah we kinda need a new bodyguard because the last one we had kinda we crazy." Louis says with a chuckle. 

" Hey guys..." I begin.

"Yes, Niall?" Harry asks.

"I was thinking that Liam or Zayn should adopt Rosie."

Louis and Harry jump up in disbelief but Harry quickly sits down.

Harry's POV

Once Niall offered Liam or Zayn to adopt Rosie I couldn't believe that. Why couldn't I? But then I quickly sat down realizing that if I adopted her then I couldn't think of her ask a little sister and that's all I want is a little sister.

Zayns POV

"Niall that's a good idea...... Zayn, would you like to? Liam's asks.

My heart started beating in my chest.

"Yes! I would love to!" I exclaimed.

I'm so glad I can do this. I hope Simon let's me. I really do. If he doesn't say yes, I'm going to do it anyway. .

RoseMaries POV

*Dream*

I'm running through a forest; my breathing is sharp and uneven. I'm running from a women and a man..

"Help!" "Help, somebody!" I screamed and all I heard was silence. I continued running.

"You can't run forever..." A familiar voice whispered close by my ear.

My head whipped to the soft voice to be met with none. The voice inside my head told me "There going to get you." I turned off that had a path that lead to the road. My shirt sleeve snagged on a tree branch, I was thrown back a couple inches. A hand was placed around my skinny arm; I became face to face with Harold( my old foster dad). A loud scream escaped my mouth; it echoed through the woods.

*End of dream*

Nialls POV

I felt Ro squirm a little on my lap. I looked down to see her face scrunched up in pain and agony. I hear her mumble a couple words.

"Harold...." Was the word that stood out when she mumbled.

"What she saying, Mate?" Liam asks.

"I think she said Harold." I reply as my full attention is now on Ro as she squirms and moans as if she's in pain.

"Harold? Why would she say my name?" Harry asks.

"I don't know lad..."

A small gasps escapes through Ro's parted lips. Her face is still scrunched up as if she's in pain. I look up to be met with Perrie coming downstairs in one of Zayns shirt and a pair of sweatpants with her hair in a bun. She sits in Zayns lap, cuddles up against his chest and falls back to sleep. A loud scream passes through Ro's lips, she instantly sits up, she tries scooting away from me but she's met with Liam on her left. Rosie has a look of terror placed upon her features. She basically throws herself off the couch; she scrambles to the corner on the opposite side of the living room. Rosie's body begins to shake as her hands are dropped at her side and her knees are brought up to her chest; her chin rests on her knees. Her hazel brown orbs are wide open on alert. She's constantly looking around and every few seconds her breathing becomes hitched. I slowly get off the couch and make my way over to the fragile lass. I crouch down to her level and ask-

"Ro, are you okay?" I ask gently as possible.

Her head instantly bobs from side to side signaling that she wasn't.

"What's wrong babe?"

She shakes her hand again signaling no.

My hand goes to her limp hand at her side; she flinches away from my touch. My eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"Nightmare?" I asked her.

Her head shakes up and down signaling that it was a yes.

"Wanna tell me about it?"

Rosie's slender finger shaking points at Harry.

"Harry? Why Harry?"

"T-t-t-t-he n-n-n-a-me." Her Bradford voice stutters out.

"Okay so you had a dream about a  guy whose name was Harry?"

Her head bobs up and down meaning yes.

"Wanna tell me about it?"  I asked hoping she would say yes.

"My m-m-mom..." She pauses after saying those two words.

"What about your mom, hun?

"S-S-she s-s-sent me a-a-away..."

I knew this was going to take awhile just by how she would only give me a few words or more. She was no longer sitting and her knees no longer hugged to her chest, her legs were criss crossed and her arms were limply laid in her lap. Every so often her eyes would peek up and she would look around. Rosie looked frightened and scared.

"Why did she send you away?"

"P-p-people came and took me away...."

"Why did they take you away, hun?"

Rosie became nervous, she began to fidget and move around nervously. Her sweet hazel brown orbs flickered everywhere. I took my hand and turned her to head so her eyes would focus on me.

"Ro, babe talk to me....Please." I pleaded.

"Mom went down the drain a couple months after she killed dad, she was seen unfit to take care of me. These people came and took me away from her. I was put in an orphanage for a little bit; a lovely or so I thought adopted me....Their names were Harold and Eve. They were so nice to begin with. But when I didn't talk, they became mean and would take me out to the woods behind their house and hurt me...H-h-harold, h-h-he......"

"Darlin you don't have to tell me.."

She continued on anyway.

"H-h-h-he raped me." She whispered.

I was close enough to hear what she said.. My mouth opened in shock and my eyes grew huge. Rosie instantly stood up and made her way to the kitchen. I stood up; I plopped down on the couch and furiously began rubbing my eyes. I can't believe that.......

I heard rustling around coming from the kitchen; I heard the faucet was turned on and soon turned off. I heard the patter of her feet coming back into the living room. She set down her glasses, laid back down onto my lap, sighed and closed her eyes..

"Sweet dream, Ro." I said as I went down to kiss her on the forehead.

I sighed and closes my eyes. Tiredness soon sweeping and taking over my over worked body. I have fallen asleep.
