One More Time

Chapter 38

I let tears of pure joy well in my eyes before nodding. "Y-yes." I nodded, laughing nervously.

He took my left hand and slipped the ring on my finger. He stood up with slight difficulty and kissed me. "I love you." he mumbled into my lips, his hands pressed to either side of my face.

"Where's Kelsey?!" Louis burst in the door, causing Niall and I do jump.

"U-upstairs.." I said, resting my hand on my thin hip. Niall's hand wrapped fully around my waist and to the other side of my body as Louis ran up the stairs.

"Baby...what happened?" Niall asked softly, resting both hands on my hips and moving to face me. He had felt that I was a bit thinner.

"I don't know what you mean." I looked at him. He rose his eyebrows. "Oh! Oh I just... I wasn't hungry I just couldn't eat."

"Ah... It's okay." He pulled me closer. "I'll help you." he kissed the top of my head and I nodded slowly.

~casually skips two weeks~

I woke up and yawned. Niall was up, obviously, because he wasn't here. I got up slowly and walked downstairs. Of course, I was, as I always am, in one of his shirts.

Niall grinned at me as I walked down the stairs. He walked to me and placed his hands on my hips, to pull me closer than I already was. "You look nice in my clothes." He said in his very attractive morning voice.

I smirked, thinking about what I would say next. "Are you just saying that because I'm not wearing pants?"

"It Contributes..." He smiled down at me.

"You know-" I started.

"I know I know. After marriage." He kissed my cheek. "But I can still think about how sexy you are." He smirked and I blushed.

Kelsey walked down the stairs, yawning. "Morning." She said softly.

"Morning." I smiled as Niall let go of me slowly.

"Niall.." She began. "You two have been dating for so damn long are you ever gonna pr-"

"He did...." I stopped her. I thought I told her...

"He WHAT?!" She was immediately wide awake.

"Like two weeks ago I thought I told you." I laughed softly.

"Wow. That's cold Taylor." She fake huffed and narrowed her eyes.

"Oh stop." I smiled and she couldn't help but smile too.

"Fine. Congrats. Now I gotta go get back to Lou." She left after that.

I should probably mention that Kelsey and Louis got married last weekend. After being together for nearly 3 and a half years, It was about time.

Niall and I were sat on the couch. Niall put his arm around me and pulled me to his body as I laughed softly. "Niall." He kissed my cheek softly. "Let go." I tried to escape his grip.

"Never." He pulled me onto his lap, his lips finding my neck and trailing down it, and finding their way to my shoulder.

"S-stop." I tried to pull out of his arms again.

"No." He mumbled into my neck. He bit down softly on my skin and sucked on it. Then he kissed the purple mark he left behind.

"Niall..." I moaned his name softly and he stopped. I sighed but he still held me close to his body.

"I love you." He whispered into my ear.

"I love you too." I smiled as I looked up at him. I stood. "Okay I'm gonna get dressed."

"Why?" He asked

"Me and Kelsey are going out today." I replied.

"Without me?" He fake pouted.

"Yes. A girl day." I smiled.

"Fine. I'll just go see the lads." He replied.

I walked upstairs and stripped of my current clothing. I pulled on a pair of high-waisted light-wash shorts. I grabbed a random shirt which happened to be a slightly cropped tank top.

I walked down the stairs quickly and caught Niall staring. "Stop." I smirked.

"Not my fault." He smiled and I walked to the couch. He took a hold of my hips. He tried to pull me down but I resented him.

"I have to go, Kelsey's waiting for me downstairs." He kissed me softly for a second then let me go. I ran out the door and down to kelsey's car. I got in quickly.

"Hey!" I grinned

"Hi." She smiled back at me. "To the mall?"

"Yes." I said.

"Good... I gotta get some... stuff..." She seemed awfully suspicious so I looked over curiously.

"What kind of... Stuff?" I rose an eyebrow.

"Baby supplies." She whispered and bit her lip.

"Are you kidding?" I rose my eyebrows in disbelief.

"No." She said.

"Oh my god!" I nearly freaked out. I demanded every detail and she gave me what she could.

"Okay. NOW shopping?" She asked and I nodded as she drove us to the mall.

I was sat on the couch, waiting for Niall to get back. Back from the pub. God. At least he hasn't gone in a while. I was watching TV, with Kelsey, under blankets, with popcorn. We were watching a girly movie, having a girly night, as the guys had a guy night.

We were watching Mean Girls. Yes mean girls. My favorite movie.

Halfway through it, the door opened and Niall walked in. I stood up, glad he was home. "Hey." I walked over to him.

He walked to me and took my hands, pulling me close to his body. Too quick. His lips close to mine. "Hey babe." He whispered, gripping my wrists. This isn't like him. I could smell the alcohol on his breath.

"Niall?" I asked confused.

"Come here babe." He walked with me upstairs.

"Okay..." I raised an eyebrow. He pulled me to our room. "What...?" I honestly was very confused.

He started pushing me towards the bed, pushing me onto it. God how much did he drink? I tried to push him off. He made me sit On it and started kissing me. Hard. His lips crashed against mine and he moved with it. I could taste the alcohol in his tongue.

"Niall." I mumbled as he kissed me more. His hands grazed the bottom of my shirt. No. "Stop." I tried to push him off.

"Why?" He smirked into my lips and started pulling it up. I tried to push him off again. When he realized that pulling my shirt off wouldn't work he moved his hands to my shorts. His fingers fumbled with the button of my denim shorts.

"Niall." I tried to stop him.

"Yeah?" He unzipped them. Trying to tug them down my legs.

"Niall stop." He tugged at my shirt again. His hand landed in between my legs, right over my underwear. And I'd had enough.

"Niall!" I pushed him off hard.

"What babe? God I try to have fun." He replied, slurring a bit.

"No..." I pushed him a bit. He rolled his eyes and started down the stairs. He grabbed his jacket, walking out. I sighed. That's never happened before.

"You alright?" Kelsey asked.

"Yeah fine..." I ran my fingers through my hair. I knew it wasn't his fault. But why would he drink so much. Drinking. Driving. No...

Not like my dad. Not like when I was twelve. This cant be happening. I nearly died that day. But I never told Niall that.
