The Soft Frat

12. Hands

*Hannah's POV

MONDAY---------

*Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep

I lay in bed as my alarm clock goes off. I groan and roll over onto my stomach and hit my hand on the deathly alarm clock. I bury my face into my pillow.

I stay there for a few minutes slightly dozing off until I realized if I don't get up now I'm going to be late. I sprang up in my bed. Why Hannah, why would you care so much if you were late for just one day. Well the answer is Niall is taking me to school today.

I throw my feet over the bed and slowly and groggily stand up making my way (down town.... lol jk) to the bathroom.

I close the bathroom door and lock it. I turn on the shower to a hot but safe temperature. I strip off my clothes and hop into the shower. I scrub my hair with shampoo and the ends of my hair with my conditioner, both smelling like apples. I have this obsession with the smell of apples and green apples.

When I got out of the shower I wrap a towel around my body and around my hair. I open the door and walk back into my room and open my first dresser. I take out a pair of under garments and slip them on.

I notice my phone light up on my bedside table and I walk over to it.

My Irish leprechaun: See you in an hour xx

I smile and.... I stand there realizing I'm texting while I'm half naked.... weird.

Anyways I reply back to him.

Me: Okay ;) xx

I set down my phone and go back over to my dresser and pull out high waisted shorts and a superman tank top.

I slip those on then head back into my bathroom and blow dry my blonde hair. I apply makeup onto my face to hide the bruises which are fading slowly. I spray on my favorite perfume Our moment.

I hear the door bell ring and I grab my bag and jog down the stairs and open the door to find a cute blonde Irishman waiting there for me. I can see his eyes sparkle.

"You look beautiful," Niall breathed out.

I just sighed and nodded knowing that can't be true. Anyone with loads of makeup on can't possibly look beautiful. It's not my fault I have to wear make-up.

Niall's smile faltered. He tilted my chin up. "Hey you ARE beautiful. Even under that makeup," Niall whispered to me.

Niall embraced me into a hug. My head rests on his chest. I breathe in his scent comforting myself. When our embrace ended we headed over to Niall's range rover.

"I hope you don't mind that Louis and Harry are here of course," Niall stated as he opened the door for me.

I shook my head no then jumped in. Niall closed the door and ran over the the drivers side and hopping in. I turned around to face Louis and Harry, and I smiled at them and waved.

"Hello." I said.

"Hello Hannah!" They said in unison.

*******************

The car ride to school was mostly just me listening to the boys laugh and joke around.

Niall hopped out pf the car and ran over to my side opening the door. I thanked him and got out. Louis and Harry whistled. "Niall is such a gentleman," Louis teased.

Niall's cheeks blushed a crimson red. He grabbed my hand and started dragging me toward the school so the embarrassment couldn't go any further. He slowed his pace as we drew closer to the school. We walked side by side holding hands into the school courtyard.

I was distracted in my own thought that I didn't pay any attention to where I was going and I bumped into someone. I look up and my eyes bulge out of their sockets and I think my face paled a little bit.

I totally forgot about Liam and Zayn. I forgot to tell them about Niall....

I look down when I hear Liam speak up.

"Hannah?" Liam questions.

"Yes?' I mutter.

Liam's voice Is soft as he speaks, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

I mutter a reply, "Yeah yeah sure."

"Excuse us for a moment boys" Liam says as he takes my other hand that Niall wasn't holding and he pulled my away from Niall's hand and towards the flagpole in the courtyard.

"What's this about?" Liam hissed under his breath.

I just stand there silently. Two world crashing in my head.

"Well?' Liam asked impatiently.

I let out a sigh, "Niall's a good guy," I reply.

Liam just starts to laugh sarcastically. "Nice?!" He hissed again.

"Yes Liam he may se--"

Liam cuts me off. "Hannah I'm not going to let you fall into his trap like all those other girls."

"It's not a trap" I whisper terrified of what Liam is going to reply.

"Yes Hannah it is! I've known him for a long time. This is what he does. He manipulates girls. I. Will. Not. Have. You. Be. Another. Do you got that?!" Liam roared.

With the one once of courage I had I walked away from him and went back over to Niall shaking and grabbed his arm. "Come on Niall," I shakily told him.

Niall obeyed and helped hold me, to sturdy me as we walked away from Liam and Zayn. I turned around for two seconds to see Zayn flipping out at Liam.

We kept walking. "What was that about Hannah? Are you okay?" Niall whispered softly in my ear. I sighed and just waved him of. "I'll tell you later. I don't want to late to class."

Niall silently nodded knowing not to push me. We both walked into math which was our first class.

The same first class as the day we met.
