It's been a few days since Niall and I became a couple. We are both still bullied at school because we are a couple but we don't care. It's almost the end of the school year and I am so freaking excited. It's my last year then I'm off to college. Niall has gotten me to stop cutting completely and I feel better than ever. Yes I have scares but I can wear short sleeve shirts now. Every time Niall and I say goodbye he will kiss my wrist and that warms my heart to know that someone cares about me like that. At home, however, has not been so good. My parents have been getting into fights and my dad has been coming home drunk. This is what happened when I was five. He comes home drunk and he abuses me. No he hasn't hit me, not yet at least. no one really cares for me anymore besides Niall.
*SLAM*
"Lauren!" My fathers voice booms through the house. It's 12:00 at night. He came home a little early tonight, he usually comes home at four.
"Phillip please calm down, Lexie is trying to sleep she has school." My mother tries to remain calm the best she can. I quietly roll out of bed and head towards my door.
"Don't try to calm me this is my house and I can do what I want. I don't care about that little mistake." That stung. He was my best friend. I don't know why he started drinking it brings back too many memories. Niall knows about my dad's problem and he said to call or text him if I need any thing.
*SMACK*
I hear a smack and a scream. He hit my mom. Tears start streaming down my face and I walk downstairs.
"Dad?" My eyes are wide and my tears are going down my face. My mom looks at me from the floor and she's crying too. Fear obvious in her eyes.
"Lexie go to your room please." She orders calmly.
"No" I can't let her sit here and take this abuse.
"She said go!" My father comes up to me and his hand make contact with my face. I fall down from the impact and how much force it had. I get up crying even more now and run to my room. I quickly grab my phone and call Niall. It rings twice before he picks up.
"Hello" his voice is raspy. I must have woken him up.
"Niall" I cry into the phone.
"Princess? What's wrong?" He is much more awake now.
"My f-f-father h-he s-s-slapped me." I cry eve harder.
"Hold on I'll be right there. Just take deep breaths and wait outside your window." I tell him okay and grab my phone and charger, shoes, and a pony tail holder and go to my window.
The ruckus down stairs has calmed he must be calmer now. I open my window and climb down my tree outside. After about 10 minutes Niall shows up.
NIALL'S POV
I can't believe that bastard. Lex doesn't know why he started drink but she blames herself. I started to like him. We would talk about football and Lexie. I am so mad. I turn off my headlights and pull into her driveway. I see her by her window and even in the dark I can see tears falling from her beautiful brown eyes. I get out of my car and run up to her and hug her. She hugs back and puts her head in my neck. I can feel hot tears through my shirt and tears start to form in my eyes also. I hate seeing people cry especially her.
"Come on you can come to my house." She nods and we get into my car. The car ride was silent. The only sound was the silent sobs escaping her lips. We finally get to me house and I help her out of my car. Everyone is asleep in my house to we quietly walk through the door and up to my room.
"Do you wanna-" I say as I turn on the light so I can see her face. I was cut off by seeing a red handprint on the side of her face. I run up to her and new tears fall from her red eyes. I engulf her in my famous Horan hug. I thought I was mad. Now knowing that he laid his hands on my princess I am fucking fuming. It takes me everything not to leave and go back to her house and beat the shit out of him. Her touch is all it takes for me to stay.
I guide her to my bed and let her cry into me. After about 10 minutes she calms down.
"You okay?" I ask her. I am being very careful because I don't want her to start crying again.
"Yea" she nods "thank you Niall." She smiles and kisses me on the lips. I notice she still has on her clothes from the day.
"Do you wanna wear something of mine to sleep in tonight?" She nods.
"Can I take a shower first?"
"Of course" I take her to my bathroom and turn the water on to wear it's just right.
She takes a quick 5 minute shower and I wait for her to come out. She opens the door to only where her head is out the door.
"Niall?"
"Yes?"
"Do you have any clothes?" I forgot to get her some clothes.
"Yea of course." I go to my dresser and pull out my free hugs tee-shirt and grab some boxers. "Here ya go" She takes them out of my hands. He comes out and she looks absolutely stunning in my clothes. "Do you need anything?" She shakes her head.
"Sleep." She giggles a little. I pull over the blanket so she can get in as well. She gets in and snuggles next to me curling up and rapping her arms around my torso, putting her head on my chest. My eyes are getting a little heavy and they slowly close.
"Niall." Lex whispered.
"Hmm?" I am half asleep.
"I love you" that woke me up right away. My heart is three times bigger and the butterflies in my stomach have become a swarm. Maybe bigger.
"I love you more my beautiful princess." I say and mean it. I kiss the top of her head and fall into a deep sleep. I love her so much.
