Saving You.//n.h

85.

Hanna's boyfriend Tyler on the side.

-Heather's P.O.V

It was hot. Too hot making the sheets stick to my sweaty skin, my hair sticking against my hot face. I lazily lifted my hand brushing my hair away, shoving the thin sheet off afterwards. My hand roamed the bed hoping to feel my boyfriends body somewheres next to me, but it was empty. I frowned as I cracked an eye open, the sun shining through the curtains. I rolled onto my back, seeing our luggage was brought up. He has to be here somewheres.

I sat up quickly, my vision starting to get blurry with black dots coming into view. I groaned burying my face into my hands, my throat aching. Why do I feel like this? I shook my head swallowing the saliva in my mouth, standing up once more. My feet patted against the soft carpet making me smile, this was a very soft carpet. I grabbed onto the railing as I walked down the creaky stairs, seeing the down stairs had no sign of Niall.

"Niall?" I called out through out the large house, my voice echoing off the walls. I checked the time seeing it was nine thirty, this is crazy. Niall is never awake this early, he has to be here somewheres. I huffed placing my hands onto my hips, shutting my eyes for a brief moment.

"He threatened to kill the family if I didn't give her up, I didn't want too but I had too! Please Heather I'm so sorry!"

"Should I shoot him?"

"Goodbye."

My eye snapped open, a tear escaping as soon as the front door opened. I turned to see Niall wearing a pair of black basketball shorts and his yellow running Nike shoes, sweat dripping down from his chest.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I opened my mouth but only tears fell down my face, he walked towards me quickly, holding my face in his hands. "Babe, say something, you've got me worried. This is what happened last night," he whispered. I pushed myself away from him before sprinting up the stairs, hearing his foot steps behind me as he called my name.

I sprinted into the bedroom pouring everything out of my purse as my eyes scanned for my phone, grabbing it with my shaky hands when I saw it. I hit the unlock button seeing it wouldn't turn on, the battery sign popping up.

"No! No!" I cried throwing my phone, Niall was immediately by my side holding me in his arms.

"Baby you need to tell me whats wrong." He brought me onto his lap wiping my tears away, I tried taking deep breaths as he told me only making me cry harder.

"I- he didn't s-stop h-h-him. He got h-her," He frowned pulling me into his chest as my sobs became louder, my throat becoming raw as my hands held onto his hips, my nails digging into his skin. His body tensed under my touch as he rubbed my back, kissing my temple over and over again.

"I'm here honey, shh I'm here." He cooed, tightening his grip on me as I scooted closer against him, ignoring the sweat on him. My hands moved from his hips and around his shoulders, my hands running through his hair as I tried calming down once more.

After a while of sitting in silence, besides my hiccups and sniffles I was very tired and felt as if my body were to shut down.

"You sleeping baby?" He whispered, I shook my head from his bare shoulder wiping below my eyes as I looked at him, his blue eyes full of concern and worry. "Tell me what happened, please." He grasped my hands into his, rubbing his thumb over my knuckles and over the promise ring. I sighed swallowing hard so I wouldn't cry.

"The dream, it seemed so real." I whispered, removing one of my hands from his and I traced my finger against his collar bone. "Luke called me, and he said that Collin got Maddie," he squeezed my hand informing for me to continue, I sighed deeply. "I was pacing like I usually do but then Collin showed up, in this room. I couldn't move, my legs wouldn't move nor my arms. I was screaming for you to wake up," my voice cracked once more. "You told me it was just a dream but Collin was just laughing, it couldn't have been a dream. He ended up pulling the trigger and shot me." He had me in his arms once more, holding me closer against him with my face tucked into his neck.

"I will never let him lay a hand on you or Maddie, I promise."

I made my way out of the steamy bathroom, into the bedroom closing and locking the door behind me. After Niall and I had talked about the dream he decided that I should take a nap, and I had convinced him to nap with me. I had woken up not to long ago, and once again, the bed was empty. It was four o'clock, the day getting hotter.

I changed into a pink thick strapped tank top with my white jean shorts, slipping on my white flip flops that made my blue painted toe nails stand out. I ran the brush through my hair quickly, not bothering to do anything with it.

I brushed my teeth quickly and sprayed on some of my Justin Bieber 'Girlfriend' perfume before exiting the bedroom, going down the stairs. My flip flops slapped against the stairs echoing in the house, making me walk faster down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen hearing hushed voices, my eyebrows furrowing together.

The guys and Niall were sitting at the table now in silence since I walked into the room, all eyes on me.

"Uh hi." I spoke quietly, giving everyone a small wave and smile as they returned it, my feet leading me towards Niall. I stepped behind Niall who was sitting in the chair, my hands resting on his chest as I looked down at him.

"Sleep well?" I leaned down kissing him on the lips, my hair framing my face.

"Yes." I told him pulling away, a smile creeping onto his face. He gripped the back of my thighs pulling me around the chair and onto his lap, his arms going around my waist.

"Their fine, I called Luke this morning." He whispered in my ear, I nodded thanking him quietly as Louis cleared his throat.

"We did more research on Collin," he flipped through a small stack of papers, the front door slamming shut making me jump.

"HEATHER WHERE ARE YOU!" The familiar voice of Hanna shouted, she wandered into the kitchen, a pair of Aviators covering her eyes. She smiled walking towards me. "I've missed you so much, Tyler is being so mean." She pouted, Tyler soon walking in afterwards.

"Hanna thought it'd be a good idea to drink a whole bottle of Vodka before having dinner with my parents." I couldn't help but let out a giggle, feeling Niall's chest vibrate with laughter as Hanna smirked and laughed quietly.

"They didn't notice." She giggled before Tyler pulled her back, making her stumble into his arms as he kept a protective arm around her waist.

"Can I continue?" Louis asked with a sigh, we all nodded as Hanna laughed. Tyler placed his hand over her mouth, nodding at Louis while apologizing.

"We've got all the information that Heather had gotten in the file, and there's mainly one more thing that I found." We all nodded, the room suddenly becoming silent.

"He's the one that murdered Elizabeth."
