Unforgettable Scars (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 7, Part 1

This chapters a little long. Hope y'all don't mind!

------------------------------------------

When I woke up the next morning, I wasn't in nearly as much pain as I was when I first got here 4 days ago. I rolled over, facing my nightstand, and picked up my phone. I had one text from Niall. Wait. I had a text from Niall! Of course he would text me when I was asleep. I unlocked my phone and clicked on my messages.

From; Nialler! :D

Hey Des, how are you?

He was so cute. I seriously needed to stop this. I've only known him for 3 days and I like him this much? I haven't even had a full conversation with him yet!

To: Nialler! :D

Hey Niall! Sorry I didn't answer you last night, I fell asleep earlier than normal. Im doing good. How are you?(:

I added the smiley face to kind of hint I was glad he texted me. He responded almost immediately. I hadn't even had time to get out of bed!

From: Nialler! :D

I'm doin good. Thanks. I can't wait for tonight. Its gonna be dope! Well, gotta run. See you later Des (: x

I smiled at my phone one last time before throwing it on my bed. I walked past my drawer when I noticed a familiar medicine bottle sitting beside my brush. I remembered I was supposed to be taking my medicine twice a day, but I hadn't taken it since the first night I got here. All of my new friends had me distracted from all the horrific things that happened back home. I thought coming to London would be just the same as it was in America: being beaten daily for no apparent reason, constantly being put down all because I wasn't good enough. But actually, it was the complete opposite. Even though I haven't been here for long, I still considered this more of a home than the other place.

Suddenly getting a whiff of pancakes and sausage, I walked down stairs to find Paul cooking in the kitchen. "Morning Paul." "Morning Desiree. I saw you took a few movies upstairs last night." "Yeah, I hope you don't mind." "It's fine Des. This is your home now." he was right. This was my home. I took a seat at the kitchen table, while Paul clicked off the stove and made mine and his plate. He walked over to where I was sitting and gently placed my plate in front of me. After doing so, he took his seat across from me and we began eating.

"So, are you, the boys, and the other girls still having a movie night tonight?" Paul asked half way through breakfast. "As far as I know." "Well, if its over really late, you can stay the night over there and come home tomorrow." "You don't mind...?" I was a little shocked by this. When I was little, he was always so strict. And now he's so carefree. "Of course not. I know none of the boys will do anything. Seeing as two of the most innocent boys in the world are the only single ones." I laughed. "Okay. Thanks Paul."

After breakfast, Paul and I watched tv for a while. At about 1:00 I decided to go check my phone. I had a text from Gemma and Harry.

From: Hazz. The Greatest Man On Earth.

Hey Des! So, the boys and their girlfriends, and Gemma are meeting up at mine and lou's place at about 5. Is that a good time for you?

To: Hazz. The Greatest Man On Earth.

Yeah, sounds good

Next, I checked my message from Gemma.

From: Gemma (your new bff!)

Hey girlie! Me and Harry have the perfect night planned out. You and Niall will be together in no time!

To: Gemma (your new bff!)

Gemma, he doesn't like me like that..

But I can't wait to see you and meet the other girls!

Since it was only 1:15, I decided to spare some time. I took a quick shower and pulled on some skinny jeans and an old sweatshirt. Today, I was letting my hair air-dry. I grabbed my phone and skipped down stairs. "Hey Paul, I was wondering if I can go sightseeing to spare sometime?" "Sure. Do you want some money?" "Uh, okay. Not a lot. Just enough to get a drink or something to snack on." Apparently he thought I was eating for five people because he gave me $50! Whatever. That was just the plus of having a rich dad. I pushed the 50 dollar bill in my front pocket, along with my phone, and walked out.

-----------Later that day---------------

By the time I got back home, it was already 4:00. London was so beautiful. It defiantly was worth 3 hours of sight seeing. And I made 2 new friends while I was out. Their names were Chris and Baylee. I had also bought a new pair of sweats from Jack Wills while I was out and about. I couldn't let 50 dollars go to waste could I?!

When I got inside my room, I took out my sweats and laid them out on my bed. I was planning on wearing them tonight. I walked back downstairs and grabbed a banana out of the kitchen. "What time are you leaving Des?" Paul asked from the living room. "Uhm, Gemma said she'd pick me up around 4:45." "Okay, well, you have 30 minutes." I finished my banana and went back upstairs. I checked my phone one last time before getting ready. Nothing. Oh well. I get to see Niall soon. That makes me happy. By the time I switched out my pants for my sweats, pulled up my hair into a messy but cute bun, and put on a little make up, Gemma was here. "Let's go! We're gonna be late!" she grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door.

When we pulled up to the flat, all the boys piled out the door. "DESSS." Louis ran straight towards me an gave me a tight hug. "Hi Lou!" he let go and then it was Harry's turn. "Hey Desiree." he said giving me a tight hug. "Hi Desiree!" Liam said, coming at me with those big puppy dog eyes. "Des!" this was Zayn. He just gave me a welcoming smile. "Hey des.." Niall said. He gave me a loose hug. It was our first hug since we met & it was the most adorable thing. Ever. Once I had greeted everyone, we walked inside where I met the girls.

"Hi! I'm Danielle. Liams girlfriend." A gorgeous, curly haired girl said with a big smile. "I'm Eleanor! Louis' girlfriend." I was so jealous of Eleanor. She had the perfect body, the perfect hair, the perfect smile, the perfect everything! "And I'm Perrie. Zayns girlfriend." This girl wasn't as skinny as the other two but she wasn't fat either. She had curves. She had beautiful blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. There was no way I could compete with any of them.

"Now that you've met everyone, let's get this party started!" Gemma yelled. "Okay, tonight's scary movie night. So, everybody get comfortable and I'll go make the popcorn!" Gemma went into the kitchen and everyone took their places on the floor and couches.

Louis, Eleanor, Liam, and Danielle all bunched together on one of the couches. Zayn and Perrie cuddled up with each other on the floor. Harry and Niall sat on the other couch. But, I had no idea where to sit. "Come sit over here?" Niall said patting the cushion that was beside him. I was a little hesitant but I decided just to take that spot. I got comfortable and we patiently waited for Gemma to get back with the popcorn.

Gemma came back and handed each person a medium sized bowl filled with popcorn. "Alright! Looks like we're all set! What movie first?" she asked & Harry immediately answered. "Oh oh oh! Paranormal Activity 3!" "Ugh. I hate scary movies.." I quietly said to myself. But Niall still over heard. "Don't worry. I'm here if you get to scared." Did he really just say that? This was going to be a good night.
