"Shit, what are you doing?!" I shouted as he yanked me into his house and closed the door.

"Well it's dark outside and you never know who's out there" he says.

"Why do you care?" I ask, rolling my eyes.

"Why don't you care?" he fires back.

"Well, you can't live life afraid of everything" I say, remembering what Luke used to say to me.

He gave me a weird look before saying

"I can't believe your in here. No one can come in here" he looked panicked.

"Uh- should I leave?" I ask. I had no idea what was happening.

"No- I- my mother is- she doesn't-" he stuttered.

"She doesn't want me to interact with people" he whispered.

"Why?" I ask, confused.

"Why are you so goddamned nosy!?!" he shouted. I flinched at his loud voice. Suddenly I was quite scared of this strange boy. Was he bipolar or something?

He shot me a glare before running up the stairs, mumbling to himself.

"What the fuck?" I whisper.

Well, now at least I can leave. I look around once more and walk out the door, closing it gently behind me.

I walk into the cold night and try and remember my way back.

Why didn't I just go home when Niall was leaving?

I walked slowly through the forest, stumbling a few times.

I wonder what was wrong with him? Why is he so touchy? I guess he's just not good with people. I used to have major social anxiety but it wasn't like that. He was so angry.

After what seemed like hours of walking, I finally spotted my house. I sighed in relief and let myself in.

"I'm home!" I yell and see my parents grading papers in the dining room.

"How was the walk? You look a bit dirty" my mum said.

"It was an interesting walk, and I fell over so I got a bit muddy" I explain.

I walk up the stairs and have a shower and brush my teeth. I then put on some cosy pyjamas and scroll through tumblr. I'm obsessed.

After about 30 minutes I hear a bang on my window. Was it the wind? I walked over to the window, slightly worried and peered out.

"Oh shit" I say, startled.

A.N ~ what do you think is there? I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I know it's boring but soon it will get exciting (hopefully)
