Finally- a Niall Horan fanfiction

Chapter 40- Rumor has it.

It has been a week since my mothers death. I haven't moved an inch sense Niall brought me home. I have just stayed in bed and haven't been out of my room. Katie and Jay have been up here to check on me every so often to bring me food and ask if I'm alright. The funeral was the worst experience of my life. To see the woman you love more than anything laying in a casket, lifeless was the worst thing I had to endure. People would come up to me and tell me that it will be alright and that i could talk to them whenever. I got to see my siblings again. They didn't talk to me though, they never do. They don't like me because I am not blood related. My mother didn't care about that, she loved me even though I was adopted, she loved me like I was her own. I feel so terrible, not just emotionally but physically. I haven't taken a shower since the funeral, or brushed my teeth and hair. I haven't changed clothes, nothing. I have gotten multiple text from Niall but I ignored them. I have also gotten text from the other boys. I think I might be depressed. Who knows. Suddenly I hear a faint knock followed by my bedroom door opening. I turn my head slightly to see who was coming in. I see a blond boy. My blond boy.

NIALL'S POV

I walk into her bedroom to complete darkness. She looks so sad. I walk over to her bed side and kneel down beside her.

"Hey." I whisper and move a strand of hair away from her face. I can tell by the way she looks that she hasn't taken a shower in a while. She doesn't say a word, she only looks at me with the dull brown eyes that have replaced the light. "How are ya' feeling?" She shrugs her shoulders slightly almost to where I can't see it. "I get up from the ground and walk into her bathroom. I walkover to her bathtub, she needs to bathe. I know her, she can not go at least one day without showering. I turn the water on and wait for it to get warm. I walk back into her room and uncover her. "You need to bathe princess. I'm sorry but I'm making you." I life her in my arms and walk into the bathroom. I sit her on the edge of the bath and start to undress her.(they are not doing anything dirty!) After her clothing is on the floor I put her into the bath. I remove the shower head and start running the water over her body and hair. She pulls her knees into her chest and hugs them tightly. As i run the water over her a tear rolls down my cheek. I feel so bad for her. I feel like I could have done something but didn't. I wash her hair and some of her body and turn the water off. I grab a towel off the counter and wrap her in it and she stands to make it easier for me. I wrap her body and pull her into me. We both sit in silence as we sit on the toilet. I hum the lyrics to irresistible as she lays her wet head on my chest.

"Thank you Niall." She breaks the silence. "For coming to my house, protecting me, and even bathe me. I love you so much." She looks at me with her eyes a little lighter now.

"Don't thank me. I didn't have to do it."

"But you did." She places her lips on mine. Even though I'm sure she hasn't brushed her teeth in a long while, it's still my favorite feeling ever.

"Now would you like to dress you self or should I?" I wink and give her a cheeky smile. She playfully elbows my side and giggles. I'm glad that I can make her laugh when her life at the moment feels like shit.

She decides to dress herself. One thing that I am thankful for is that her mothers death isn't plastered all over the news. Until I turned on the telly.

"Breaking news a murder has been taken place in a family home in London. Lauren Taylor was murdered by her husband Patrick Taylor inside their London home. Police say that she was stabbed in the lung area and died almost immediately from the lack of air. It has also been rumored that these are the parents of singer Lexie Taylor, but know one knows for sure though. Taylor has been sentenced in prison. and is awaiting a trial." My face falls and my eyes widen. Oh my god, Ican't believe this. I hope she isn't getting any attention on twitter about this. Different questions go through my head such as, should I tell her about the news story, should I not tell her about this? My attention was turned to the bathroom door opening with Lexie holding her phone in her hand with a confused look on her face. I guess she figured it out for herself.

"Ni, why I am I getting twitter mentions from fans telling me that things will be alright and that they are always here for me and stuff?" She looks me in the eyes and ask.

"Umm, there might have just been a news story about your mum and dad?" I half asked. Her eyes widen and raises both of her eye brows.

"What!?!" She shouts in surprise. I know better than to say anything so I just nod. "Who in the hell told everyone that they were my parents?" Shes mad. She's very mad, I know because she never swears, only when she is pissed off or she is protecting someone or something she loves.

"The news anchor said that it was rumored, not that it was for sure your parents." I calmly inform her and she huffs. "Look just dom't get mad at the fans, they are just supporting you, they love you."

"I know I'm just tired of everyone being in my business. I would hate to see how the fans react when we tell them and the world that we are dating." I smile.

"That's a part of being famous princess, you barely have any privacy. And did you just say that we were dating?" I ask with hope.

"Yea, I kow I should have told you about my father following us, It was stupid. I don't know why I didn't tell you, I know I can tell you anything. I'm sorry and I hope you would take me back?" She ask.

"Of course." We both smile. "Come here, you need to sleep." I pull her phone out of her hand and put it down pulling her towards the bed.

"Stay with me?" She asks and I look at her for a reason why. I would love to but she never ask unless there's a reason. "I just want to." I guess not.
