Chapter 16

Niall's P.O.V

I smile at her delicate structure. She looked so peaceful with her small snores filling the car. This girl has me going crazy. I've never felt so many emotions for anyone else as I do for her. And now I have to watch out for my best mate because I know he has feelings for her even if he says he doesn't. My hands tighten around the steering wheel at the thought of him holding her when I wasn't able to.

I could hold her forever. Hell I could watch her sleep forever.

I don't want to lose her like my father lost my mother.

He came home one day super drunk and beat her when I was only 7. I tried to fight him off but that lead me to my first black eye. But the worst my father did was what he did every morning, sober or not. He would lock the door but from the outside in.

He would keep us locked up in his apartment all day. He wouldn't let us leave even when we begged. My mother home schooled me until I grew old enough to fight him off my mother.

I was 12 by the time I fought and beat his drunk ass. I did push ups, sit ups, and crunches everyday. I remember watching rocky on T.V. wanting to be like him. Punching the air and climbing the couch because we didn't have stairs.

When my mother and I left my father I realized the hard way on why he kept us locked up and away from the cruel world.

Within the first week of us leaving my father my mother got raped.

I now know that if you truly love someone you have to keep them right next to you, locked away in order to protect them. Before the cruel world corrupts them.

A month later my mother killed herself and my father blamed me.

I looked over to Chelsea. "I won't let it happen again. I won't lose you Princess. I won't." I said sternly but quietly.

Everything is Awesome

Everything is cool when you're part of a team

Everything is Awesome

When you're living out dreams

I quickly take my loud phone out from my back pocket. Goddam these tight ass jeans err more like my big arse.

"Hi Ash." I look over to see if chelsea is still asleep. I couldn't help but smile when she snored loudly then back to her small cute snore.

"Mate? Earth to Naill?"

"Oh hey um yeah what's up mate?" It was then when I noticed the heavy crying in the background and the gloomy tired tone in Ash's voice.

"Um...our..we just found out that our parents...died and well...we kinda need a place to stay at the moment and-"

"Yes you can stay. Please do. No need to worry mate, ok. Do you need a ride? Is your sister Vanessa ok?" I said sitting up, suddenly becoming protective. The hairs on my arms rose familiarly.

"Yes Niall we are ok. One of the police offered us a ride. I think I'll just ask him. Niall they...they were killed by a drunk driver." Ashton began to cry and my blood boiled. My breathing became labored and I felt heat radiate off my body and face.

Suddenly a cold hand reached out and grabbed onto my forearm. Chelsea leaned over and snuggled into me diminishing my anger. She was still asleep, snoring smoothly.

I felt my muscles slowly relax.

"Ashton just come over to my house. I'll call Luke," Vanessa's boyfriend ,"and tell him to come over. Maybe he can calm Vanessa down. Harry is at my place right now so if you get there before we do he'll be there to open the door. I'll text him to let him know that you're coming. We're heading back home from the grocery store so we'll have enough food for all of us for the next couple of days. Ash you don't have to worry about a thing right now ok. "
