P.S. Some of you might be wondering why Juliet was being dropped off at home rather than her dorm, since she was in college. It was because of a short winter break, so she went home for the holdiays.

Juliet's POV:

I shook violently in the dark corner of my room, cold and hungry.

Niall gave a weird convulged look with his eyes, shook his head, and scrambled out of the house.

I slid down the wall, and started bawling. Why did this have to happen with every one of my guy friends, or crushes? I would never be normal.

"Get up, and go to your room." Mom said, kicking me with her foot towards the rusty, creaking stairs.

I wiped my bloated face, and trudged up.

I shook off the flashback of just a couple of minutes ago.

As i drifted my eyes shut, trying to fall into a light sleep, my cell-phone rang.

It was small, and the ringtone was soft and quiet.

"Hello?" I whispered, my voice creaky and sad from the crying.

I heard a woo of relief. "Juliet! Are you alright?" Niall.

"Oh! Niall! Yeah. I'm fine."

"Your lying." The hurt voice said shrilly.

I burst out into soft tears again, trying not to let Niall hear me crying.

"Are you crying babe?"

I nodded, even though i knew he wouldn't see.

"I have an escape route. I'm not going to let you live with those evil people." Niall exclaimed, getting excited. I ould hear it in his voice.

I burst out into more tears again. "How?" I meekly said

"Easy. I'm going to collect you at midnight through your window, and i'm going to take you to my barn behind our house. You can stay there until we figure things out."

"I haven't even agreed to any of this, Niall!" I said, raising my voice a little.

"Don't worry. Are you in?"

A long pause. What if my parents found me? Then they would literally, actually kill me. My life would never be the same, too. But thats what gets me excited. A little rebel side to me?

"I'm in."

MIDNIGHT

I heard a soft patter on my windowsill. My heart beat quickened. I knew this was Niall throwing stones at my window, indicating it was time to run away.

I threw the light sheet off of my body, and jumping softly out of the matress-bed. As i looked down my only window, I saw Niall shivering in the snow, tighting the ladder tied on the window, and throwing pebbles on my window, trying to make it soft so my parents wouldn't hear anything.

I managed to crack a slight smile at the Irish cutie, fumbling with his work, and the floppy Christmas hat on his shaggy blond hair.

I opened the window, just enough to see my face from down there. He stopped, and grinned, motioning me to climb down the ladder.

I gave a concernedlook. No way in heck was i going down this thing, icy cold, wet, and a possibility that i would slip down.

"What if i slip and fall?" I said quietly to Niall.

He gave me a fake sympathetic look. "I'll catch you if it happens."

"So you're saying its going to happen?" I teased him.

He stuck his tongue out. "Come on! Plus, if you fall, you'll land on the snow."

"Oh. So i will fall down? And if i do, it'll be on the icy cold snow, not in your arms?" I asked wriggling my eyebrows. It was fun messing around with this leperchaun.

"Julietttttttt!" he whined stomping his boots on the snow.

I laughed, thinking of a new thing to say to bother him, but my thoughts were cut off by footsteps.

Oh crap! That's probably mom or dad coming to check on me.

"Juliet can we-"

I jumped out of the window, falling, close to the ground, before holding on to the ladder, swinging around like a monkey, trying not to scream. When i plopped down, i felt warm, strong arms cradle me, and catch me before landing in the cold snow.

"Well. You are...quite active." Niall said putting me on my feet.

I giggled.

"Why did you scramble down so fast?"

"I heard footsteps!"

"Well, why didn't you say that from the beginning?! RUN!" Niall screeched, grabbing the ladder, and crashing it on the snow. Then he grabbed my hand, and pulled me fiercely towards the distant bushes in the dark.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"This is it?" I breathed, taking in the barn i would be staying at for a long while

"Yup." He said, popping the p.

Crunchy golden hay was scattered everywhere, there was a distant smell of mulch, and it felt so right and homey from just a single glance.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"Feels so safe." I said, walking over to a spot in a corner, where a large white blanket was spread out, with a pillow.

"That will be your bed." He said.

"Do i have to be here alone?" I asked, sitting down on the blanket, crunching hay beneath me.

"I won't leave you." He said, and sat down on the white blanket with me, taking my head into his lap.

I smiled genuinely, and closed my eyes, cold and tired.

"Gotta change my answering machine..."

"Now that I'm alone"

"Cause right now it says that we..."

"Can't come to the phone..."

"And I know it makes no sense"

"Cause you walked out the door"

"But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore"

And suddenly, he started singing in an angelic voice, and i drifted off, feeling warm, safe and happy in his lap.

I was going to like this boy
