She's not afraid

20. Cali bound

*Jessie's P.O.V*

It had been a week and a half since I almost got raped by that horrible man. But luck fully Niall was there to save me. Thank god. I love him so much. Me and Niall have grown closer since then and he doesn't let me out of his sight. He always pulls me close to him whenever we pass a guy when we're walking on the street. And whenever a guy talks to me, he runs up to him and stands in front of me, until I tell him that it's ok. It seems weird to the other person, but not for us, because he's just protecting me. And I love him for it.

The only person we told about the incident is Louis. That's only because he's my bestfriend. And it didn't go down well. Louis got so angry, he punched a hole in our hotel room wall. i made Niall leave the room and Louis started crying and he hugged me for what seems like forever. i still remember his exact words he told me...

"i can't lose you Jessie. please don't ever leave me"

Once those words left Louis's mouth i broke down and started crying.

"I promise....I will never leave you Lou. Ill never leave." I cried into Louis as I hugged him even more.

But that was a week ago.

I know that eventually someone's going to find out, but hopefully that's not for a long, long time. The boys performed their show, here in L.A. And so now were going to Florida. I'm stoked, but at the same time, nervous. I have been very nervous about everything since the "incident". I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to go to their concert here in L.A.

Oh, I didn't tell you? I was in the hospital for a week.

*flashback*

*Niall's P.O.V*

It's been a week since I almost let Jessie slip through my fingers. She could have died! If she would have died, I would have died too.... I can NEVER lose her. I won't let it happen. I love her to much, and I'm to selfish to let her go.

Jessie has been hospitalized for a week now. The stranger fractured 2 of Jessie's ribs. He also gave her a concussion, 2 black eyes, a broken nose and a fractured arm. She suffered major head trauma. I wish I would have killed him, I really do. If Jessie wouldn't have made me stop hitting him, I would have.

They made Jessie stay for a week in the hospital and she is finally allowed to leave tomorrow. I visit her every day and I practically live at the hospital. I spend the night there every night and I sleep in the chair next to her bed. I only come back to the hotel to get clothes and then I return to my beautiful girlfriend. I love her so much. I'm still figuring out how I am going to prove to her, how much i love her.

It is currently 11:00 at night here and I am sitting in the hospital chair holding Jessie's hand while she sleeps peacefully. I can't sleep. I haven't been able to sleep ever since the incident with that bastard. I stay awake all night, just to make sure that knowone tries to take her from me.

I heard some whimpers and looked up to see Jessie twitching in her sleep. She was whimpering and she was starting to sweat. She's having a nightmare. Again. She's been having them a lot lately.

"Jessie, babe, wake up" I quietly said as I shook her awake.

Her eyes fluttered open and she sat up, but instantly regretted it. She must have forgot that her ribs are fractured.

"Niall?" She quietly asked.

"Yes, my love?" I asked as I leaned up and kissed her cheek.

"Please sleep with me?" She weekly asked.

I laughed at her question.

"What?" She asked.

"In a hospital bed babe?" I asked.
