3,000 Miles Away: Niall Horan

Chapter 13

" Ready?" Niall asked opening the door to the Range Rover. He held me my both of my hands as I got out. I stood firmly on the ground in front of Niall. He still had ahold of my hands. I took this time to admire his features.

His blue eyes sparkled and his jawline was perfect. That one piece of hair was sticking up and his smile was heavenly. He smirked, now only holding on of my hands leading me to the house. We stopped just in front of the door.

" Why'd we stop?" I asked, my eyebrows raised.

" I just.... Nevermind" Niall turned the knob pushing open the door and closing it behind him. I took a few steps inside the house before I stopped. I saw where I had been stabbed just a few days prior. I saw the blood stained floor but it was very light. If you didn't know about the incident you wouldn't even notice. Memories from the past few days flooded into my mind. That evil grin I saw just before it happened burned in my mind, causing me to cringe.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped back bumping into Niall. 
" You okay?" 

I smiled fakely, " Perfect." I lied. We went into the lounge room where everyone was; the boys and Danielle, Perrie, and Eleanor.

" Skylar!" The girls squealed in unison. Each one giving me a gentle hug. The boys also embraced me in a hug. I sat on the couch, Niall beside me. It was already 6:00 p.m. since the hospital took forever to get the discharge papers together. I was exhausted.

" Want ta watch a film?" Louis asked.

I didn't really feel like watching a film, all I wanted to do was sleep. I didn't want to be rude though.

" Sure" I said, taking off my shoes and pulling my feet up onto the couch.

" Toy Story!" Liam yelled. I laughed at his childish behavior. Liam quickly went through Netflix, easily finding the first movie and playing it.

A little while into the movie I zoned out. All these memories came rushing into my head. Almost all of them either leading back to Dad or to the incident. I couldn't deal with that at the moment. 

I snuggled up to Niall, closing my eyes. I felt his arm find its way to my waist, pulling me closer to him. I was so cold and he was so warm only making me snuggle up closer to him. I soon felt myself falling to sleep.

*****

" Sky" I heard a voice whisper in my ear. I snuggled closer to Niall not wanting to get up.

" Sky wake up." I heard once again. I groaned, opening my eyes. I sat up slightly, looking around. We were still in the lounge room, on the couch.

" Why are we still on the couch?" I rubbed my eyes.

" We both fell asleep and El said we looked cute so she wouldn't let anyone bother us." Niall explained.

El came out of the kitchen. She had on one of Louis' shirts that covered her and went to her mid thigh. " Is something going on between you two?" El smirked. She had her hands planted firmly on her hips.

I became uncomfortable. I pushed myself up from the couch, " Uh... I'm going to take a shower." I made my way up the stairs and into my bedroom. I took a quick shower and went up to my closet.

I put on a matching black bra and undies. I stood in front of my floor length mirror, looking at myself. I felt very... insecure. I've never been insecure about my body before, I've always been happy with the way I look. I have always been happy with my body and all my features. I wasn't perfect and I didn't need to be. But now I'm not so sure. All of my confidence in myself seems to have dissappeared. It's as if it had run away and went into hiding.
