Solace - Niall Horan

Chapter Seven - Okay

Hi :) It’s a double update xx

 

CHAPTER SEVEN:

I blinked a couple of times. I feel like my mind and whole body isn't functioning. Did he really say that? Or is he just making fun of me?

"W-what?" I stuttered.

He looked up the stars as I look at him and wait for his reply.

"Did I even tell how beautiful you are tonight?" He asked. My hitched a breath and feel like my face is burning. "You're so beautiful, Isabelle." he smiled but not looking at me.

"I-" I paused, "I told you, I don't think I am." I said.

His chest rose as he breathes in and sighed, "Are we going to fight about this again?" he raised a brow. I didn't answer. I don't even know why he's telling me this. Is he not disgusted with my appearance? Just like his friends?

"Why are you even at Harry's party?" I asked as I cross my arms on my chest.

"Stop changing the subject, Isabelle," I frowned. "And I'll repeat; you're beautiful okay? If I have to remind you this every day until you believe, I will."

I feel tears run down my cheeks as I sat up.

"What's wrong, love?" he asked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Then I wiped it with the back of my hand. And he called me love. It flutters my heart.

"It's just," I paused and find the perfect words, "It's just no one ever said those words to me before and all my life, I've been bullied for being ugly."

Our eyes met.

"I've been bullied Niall. I still am. By your friends," I look down to my hands.

He sighed and I was shocked that embraced me with a hug. Those things made me cry even more.

"It's okay, it's okay," he cooed and repeated those words numerous times as he gently stroke my hair.

"I'm different with them. I won't do that to you. If I could only leave them I would."

I pulled away from his toned arms and finally wipe the tears on my face. I looked at him, "Leave them? What do you mean?"

I was so curious to know and at the same time confused. If they are this friends, he'll stick to them but then he's saying this like he don't have a choice but to be with them.

He sighed and looked away.

"I don't have a choice," he looked down and fumbles his fingers, "We're all family friends. I hope you're aware that our families are like ruling the city,"
