If only you knew (Niall Horan FanFiction)

Chapter 25

Niall's POV

I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around my waist. I grab my phone to see if I got any calls, especially from Tori. No missed calls. My head drops with disappointment. I need to go home, now.

 ~~~

I get out of the taxi, handing the driver $25 for just driving me down the block. I would have walked, but it started to pour buckets of rain. Looking up, I see mine and Tori's flat. The memories we share in there and the ones that are to come. I look over in the driveway and see that only my range rover is parked there. Is she home? Of course she is, where would she be.

I turn the knob on the door to find it locked. I guess she is out. I dig in my pocket, looking for my keys. I never picked them up when I left last night. Thinking hard, I try to remember where we hid the spare key. The flower pot. I dig through the fake plant next to the door. My hand grabs in and I quickly put the key through the hole.

"Tori?" I yell as I enter our flat.

No answer, just dead silence. She might be out looking for me. I grab my phone out of my pocket and walk over to the couch. Sitting down, I dial her number. A car suddenly pulls up in our driveway. I guess she is home, but who's car is that?

I jump off of the couch and go to the window to see. Right away I notice who is in the car. It's Tori and that guy from the other night. I don't even know his name, and I don't think I should. I will find where he lives and rip every limb off of his body. Is Tori dating him? No. I can't think this way. She is mine, and only mine. I suddenly see her hand touch his face, causing my blood to boil. I can't see anymore of this. I walk away from the window and go back to sitting on the couch. I guess she was never mine in the first place...

Tori's POV

I get out of the car after saying goodbye to Harry. Jason is loose in the streets doing God only knows what. What if he is finding another victim to torture and kill? I have to go inside and call the police. That's the only solution I can think of right now. Quickly running up to the front door, it swings open.

"Niall?" I am in shock. How and when did he get back here?

"We need to talk." His eyes are red and puffy.

I jump into his arms without thinking. I don't really have to think twice if I was to do it anyway. His arms aren't going around me like they normally would. I wait a while, until I feel his arms wrap around me like a blanket. His grip gets tighter as I start to cry into his shoulder. I have missed him so much and I have been waiting for this moment.

"I missed you so much, baby," I say inbetween weeps.

He sighs into my shoulder. "I missed you too." 

I try to hold onto this wonderful moment, until he is the first to pull away. I turns and walks over into the living room. I follow behind him, confused with the distance he is showing. Last night. Is that what's still bothering him? "Niall, about last night...I am sorry. Nothing happened. He was here to comfort me with all that I went throught with Jas-" My eyes bulge out of my head as I remember that I never told Niall what Jason had done to me. He is facing me. His face drained from all color, and his eyes look like they are about to fall out of his head.

"What did he do to you?!" He says between clenched teeth. His face is now gaining back it's color, but the color is red and his fists are tightly held at his sides. I've never seen him mad like this before.

"He didn't do anything..." my voice suddenly feels very small. "...I got away. And Harry was there to help me."

With those words, I can hear his heart shatter to pieces. "That should have been me. I should have been there for you, not him." His knees can no longer hold him up, causing him to collapse onto them. He looks up at me with tear filled eyes. "When will I get to be your knight and shining armor?"

My hand touched his cheek, softly stroking the stubble that had formed. "You have been it all my life."
