chapter thirty

We walked back in to Rob's house and immediately people piled in to the hallway. My parents and Liam all stared at us, hopeful. I smiled while taking off my coat and hanging it up, waiting for Niall and Rob to finish too.

Then we followed them back to the living room and all sat down. My mother poured us all a cup of tea. I sat down next to Niall and just waited for Rob to speak. I was so done telling these stories the entire time, Rob could do it this time.

"I suspended the boy, he is not allowed on campus grounds any longer." Rob said. My mother smiled and placed her hands on his cheeks and a kiss on his lips, making me smile. 

"The police said it's a strong case, they were going to arrest him and hold him in custody until the judge decides how long he'll be in prison or if he gets any other type of punishment." Rob said. This made me hold my breath which everyone noticed. "But, the police said he will probably have a few years in jail." Rob said, staring at me.

I nodded, taking a sip of my tea.

"So everything is fixed?" Liam asked, an eyebrow raised. I nodded, staring at Niall who nodded again. "Pretty confident Lily's safe to return to school in a few days." Rob said.

I had totally not thought about school and classes and anything related. But was that surprising? Rob would make sure all teachers were updated about my 'situation' and that it would be fine if I handed in assignments a few days later.

"Well, I am going to the airport now, to pick up Camilla." Liam said, jumping up with the biggest grin on his face. I smiled, this was adorable. "I'm happy for you, Liam." I said, getting up so I could hug him.

"Thank you, Lils." He said, placing a kiss on my forehead. 

I turned around and looked at Niall who was sitting on the couch, reading a few texts off his phone. "I'll bring her back as soon as possible but knowing our princess she wants to go to her dorm first so she can make herself look presentable." Liam rolled his eyes in a playful matter and chuckling.

I playfully hit his upper arm softly, but chuckling along. "I'll see you guys." I smiled, watching him walk out of the living room and a few seconds later I heard the front door close.

Then I turned around to see Niall was just staring at me. "We're going up to my room and hang out for a bit." I told my parents and Rob, who were already in a conversation again. They all nodded, smiling.

Niall got up, put his tea cup on the coffee table and then followed me out of the living room. I walked up the stairs and over to my bedroom. I heard his footsteps follow me. I plopped down on my bed, face hitting the pillow. I felt the bed dip in and after a few seconds I rolled on to my side to see Niall laying on his back next to me. 

"I have thanked you already, right?" I said, making him turn his head to face me. "Like twenty times, I feel so flattered." He chuckled, pulling me in to his side. "I honestly have no idea what I would do without you, Niall." I said, it came out a little hard because my face was pressed against his chest.

We laid like that for a second and then I let go of him, laying down next to him. Our shoulders were touching and we were staring at the ceiling. "I need to tell you something." Niall then said. I furrowed my brows and rolled over to my side so I was facing him. "What?" I asked, confused. He rolled over so he was facing me now too.

"You are completely sure you don't remember anything from when Dylan and I brought you back to your dorm?" He asked, furrowing his brows. "I mean, I remember being there and you guys being there, but that is all." I said, getting up to get a blanket and putting it over me since I got a little cold.
