In The Dark

Chapter 15

~ Jocelyn's P.O.V. ~

I'm sitting here with Louis, Zayn, and Harry. We're all in complete silence.

"Guys, can I tell you something?" I ask. The three boys all turn their heads toward me.

"Sure babe, you can tell us anything," Harry says, his dimples showing as he smiles.

I look down at the ground for awhile and then look back up and sigh. "I don't know how to say this exactly," I mumble.

Louis gently takes my hand in his. "It's okay, just start from the beginning," he says, comforting me.

"Okay. Well after you guys and Alyssa left the room I sat down on Niall's bed and we talked for awhile. And then we ended up kissing."

They all look at me in shock. Louis laughs.

"That's the greatest thing I've heard all day!" He smiles. Harry stares at Louis' eyes for awhile and I see him blush.

"You and Niall are the cutest!" Harry squeals. I laugh this time and playfully hit his arm. "Wait! I have to tweet!"

I see him go into the twitter app. My phone buzzes. I take it out of my pocket to see a twitter notification. (A/N: ahah no shit Sherlock😂)

"@harry_styles: what ship name is cuter? #jiall or #nocelyn ?"

I look up at Harry and he's smirking at me.

"Do you want to hang out in Niall's room and wait for Liam and Alyssa to get back?" Zayn asks us. I nod and we all head into Niall's room.

We all walk into Niall's room and sit down wherever we can. Louis and Harry sit together on the couch and Zayn sits on the chair, leaving me nowhere to sit.

"Hey, come sit over here," Niall's scoots over and pats the spot next to him.

I lay next to Niall. The boys look at us, shocked.

"Are you guys like, a thing?" Zayn asks.

"Yeah, he asked me out," I smirked.

"Niall, if you hurt her, I beat your ass. Got it?" Louis warns. I glare at him.

I suddenly space out and think back to Connor. He hasn't even tried to contact me since I've been at the hospital. Not even to ask if I'm okay. I have to go back soon, and I have to graduate.

I don't want to go back. I hate it there. What if my mom comes? What if she tries to hurt me again. I can't live knowing she's alive. Especially when I don't know where.

She could attack me at any minute. I don't know why she hates me so much.

"Hey, are you okay? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Niall, Louis, and Zayn pound me with questions.

I hadn't even realized I started crying. "It's nothing," I mutter.

Louis and Niall glare at me.

"Tell us, tell me. I know something is bothering you and I can't just let it go," Niall comforts me. He makes me feel safe. I don't know how I never noticed before.

"I need you," I whispered. "I need you. I need you. I need you." I kept whispering as Niall held me close to chest.

(A/N) so school sucks. But I hope your enjoying this story! I love you all!
