...my dad just called me!"
I sent the text and gave Josh a few minutes before Niall's phone was ringing.
"Hey." I gave the phone no time to ring before answering.
"Hey! What happened?!"
"Josh, I need you to take Rosie home, don't let ANYONE see her with you and please come home!!!"
"Okay! I'll be home in fifteen."
As soon as Josh stepped in the door, I threw myself into his arms.
"What happened, babe?!" He asked, engulfing me in a hug.
"My-my phone rang..." I sobbed, "I answered it and it-it-it was him!"
"Okay, what did he say?" Josh asked as he stroked my hair.
"He's gonna find me, Josh! He's gonna find me!!!"
Josh pulled away and held onto my shoulders, so he was looking me in the eyes. He cupped my face and wiped the tears off my cheeks with his thumbs.
"As long as you're with me, you're absolutely fine. No one is going to hurt you." He pressed his lips against my forehead.
He sat down on the couch and pulled me into his lap, where I nestled my face in his neck and fell asleep.
*Niall's P.O.V.*
I was sitting across from Shay and Josh and I was absolutely green with envy. Josh was my best mate and apparently had a girl now, so why was I so jealous? I knew why they were so close, so, why was this getting to me so bad? Why had I kissed her?
Shutup, Niall, these feelings have been here for the past year, quit denying them. You know you're crazy for this girl. She's beautiful, she's funny, she's sweet, she's everything you want in a girl, quit trying to talk yourself out of it! She did kiss you back, moron!
I chuckled to myself at the raging war that was going on in my head.
"Niall, mate, take her upstairs?" Josh asked.
"Of course." I replied as I pulled her from Josh's arms and carried her upstairs to her bedroom. I laid her down on her bed.
"Don't leave me." She mumbled.
"You want me to stay here, babe?" I asked.
She nodded so, I crawled into bed beside her and she immediately cuddled up next to me. I wrapped my arm around her to hopefully give her some sense of security.
*Josh's P.O.V.*
Niall took Shay upstairs and I called Paul. He needed to know what was going on, since this could potentially affect all of us and the boys. We decided that he would come over in the morning and we would talk. After I hung up with Paul, I texted Rosemary.
"Hey, beautiful;) I'm super sorry that we had to leave early tonight! I'll make it up to you! I swear. I promise I'll let you know what's going on as soon as I can! Please forgive me??? xxx"
I clicked send and collapsed on the couch.
The next morning, someone was knocking on my door and all the bull crap that was happening, came rushing back to me. I opened the door to find Paul. I let him in before going upstairs to get Niall and Shay. I walked in her room, to see them both cuddled up together. They were facing each other, Shailey's face was buried in Nialler's chest, and his arm was wrapped around her.
I shook them both until they woke up and they both followed me downstairs.
A few minutes later, the four of us were gathered in the living room and we were discussing what to do.
We didn't think it would be safe for any of us if Shailey stayed here, so I texted Rosemary, who, I saw had replied to my text last night.
"It's fine:) I forgive you! I promise<3 and I'm holding you too that;)"
I quickly started typing.
"It's a massively long story that I'll have to explain later, but, is it okay if Shailey stays with you for a while?"
"Sure???"
I told everyone that she said was fine and Shailey started packing.
*Shailey's P.O.V.*
I was upstairs in my room, crying my eyes out, and packing my suitcase. There was a knock on my door before Niall came in.
He sat down on my bed beside my suitcase.
"Can I help you with anything, babe?"
I walked over and stood in front of Niall, leaning against his knees. He grabbed my hands and intertwined his fingers with mine.
"This was the last thing I wanted to happen." I confessed, quietly.
"What's happening?" he asked, since I hadn't exactly informed him of everything.
I sat down beside him on the bed and crossed my legs.
"Well, you know I used to be addicted to anything I could my hands on, right?"
Niall nodded and I continued on, telling him about everything my dad had done to me when I was little. By the time I was done, Niall looked completely and utterly shocked.
"That's why I jerked the phone away from you last night. Even though I never really thought he would try to find me, but, it's always been a nagging fear in the back of my mind. I know what he's capable of and if he hurt you, or Josh, or anyone of you guys, it would kill me."
Suddenly, Paul knocked on the door.
"Are you ready yet?" He called from the other side of the door.
"Almost. Give me ten minutes."
"Okay." I put the last few items into my suitcase and set my purse on my bed. Niall stood up and faced me.
"How long are you gonna stay?" He asked as he grabbed both of my hands and looked me in the eyes.
"I don't know, I guess until they find him and he gets arre-"
I was cut off by Niall's lips forcefully meeting mine. I was taken back but, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment that I knew I wouldn't get again for quite a while.
Niall grabbed pulled my suitcase off of my bed and I grabbed my purse before we went downstairs.
"Are you ready?" Paul asked again.
I merely nodded before throwing myself into Josh's arms again. I immediately started sobbing. Josh rested his face in my hair.
"It's going to be okay, this isn't the end. I promise, baby girl."
"Please stay safe and be extra careful; you have no idea what that monster is capable of." I started trembling in fear. Not because of the fact that my dad was coming for me, but, because of the fact that he would hurt anyone who got in the way.
"Shh, shh, it's gonna be okay, baby." We kissed each other on the cheek and I hugged Niall one last time before walking out to the car with Paul.
Twenty minutes later, I was walking into what would be my new bedroom for the next few weeks.
