Secrets and Surprises

Chapter-41

Morgan's POV-

It's been a week. A week since I got the call from my grandmother, 7 whole days since my parents both died in a car crash.  6 days since I got on a plane with Niall, Daniella, and the rest of the boys to come back to New York. 5 days since I had to sit down and make arrangements to bury my own parents. 4 days since the wake, 3 since the funeral, and 2 since I've left my bed. I haven't eaten, or spoken to anyone. I won't even let Niall in. Him and the boys are staying at my house along with Daniella for the next few weeks. They'll have to entertain themselve because I honestly don't know how to carry on. My brother left, he ran away. He hasn't spoken to anyone in the family since he found out, and he left immediatly after the funeral. My sister left to go back home upstate this morning, and I'm here. There was a knock on my door.

"Morgan, come on honey just let me in." Niall said quietly. I missed talking to him. My eyes were red and puffy, yet dry, I couldn't cry anymore. My hair was in a messy bun, and I was wearing a sweatshirt, leggings, and fuzzy socks. I didn't answer, just laid facing away from the door in a ball on my bed.

"Morgan, you gotta eat, you gotta come out sometime. I brought you icecream now let me in." Niall said, concerned.

I stood up and slowly dragged myself across the room and opened the door. He looked at me, just stared, not saying anything. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. He had a bowl of chocolate icecream in one hand. He handed it to me and began to walk out. I grabbed him by the wrist and stopped him. "Stay..." I said, tired of being alone.

He closed the door behind him and sat on my bed, distancing himself from me, being really awkward. I sat, and barely touched my icecream. I decided not to eat anymore and stood up, putting it down on the dresser across the room. I walked back to the bed and sat in Niall's lap. He gave me the tightest hug he could give and I just fell into it.

"I'm so sorry..." He whispered into my ear.  I pulled out of the hug and looked into his eyes, he pushed the loose strands of hair that had fallen out of my bun behind my ears, and rested his hand on the side of my face, "I miss you." He said.

"I miss you too." Then he kissed me, being soft and gentle, it was slow and sweet.

I couldn't breath, the room was dark and I was panicking. Everything began to spin, then the flashing white and yellow lights came, hurting my eyes. I covered them with one hand and struggled to pull myself away from them through the dark place, when I hit a wall, the lights got closer. "No!" I started to scream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Morgan, wake up, stop crying it's just a dream, just a dream." Niall wiped the tears from under my eyes and gently kissed my forehead and the sun peared through the window ever so slightly. I curled into him leaning my head on his bare chest and letting my eyes close listening to the beating of his heart, slow and steady. He played with my hair and I just laid there.

"Can we do something today Ni?" I asked rolling off his chest onto my side and resting my head on my left arm so I could look at him.

"Like what?" He smiled reaching out his arm and gently stroking my cheek. That gave me chills down my spine.

"Something, I'm sick of staying in here and I just want a day to be able to let loose, not worry, and have fun."

"Hmm..." He said tapping his chin in thought.

Niall's POV-

I felt bad for her, it's been a week and I know she can't be fully over the fact that both her parents are gone but who says she can't have fun. And I knew her parents, they'd want her to be happy. Not curled up in a ball in her bed forever.

"I can't  believe you're making me do this Niall, you know I suck at iceskating.." She groaned, lacing up her skates tightly.

I stood up, caught my balance and reached my hand out for her to grab, "Come on, it'll be fun!" I said as she stood up alone ignoring the fact that my hand was there for her. She wobbled her way to the rink almost losing her balancing and falling. She flailed her arms like an idiot but walking behind her I grabbed her by the waist holding her upright. She turned her head and smiled at me. She's so beautiful, too beautiful and she deserves to smile and be happy. I quickly stole a kiss and pecked her lips and she giggled, grasping my hand tightly as we headed out to the ice.

"This should be interesting..." She said laughing a little as we slowly made our way around the rink, "Niall what are you doing?!" I'm pretty good at iceskating, I pulled my hand out of hers and quickly started skating around people around the entire rink.

"BET YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!" I yelled watching my breath leave my body.

"YOU'RE RIGHT I CAN'T!" She yelled back to me, slowly moving across the arena. I started skating again, really fast, coming up behind her and slipping causing both of us to fall right on our butts. She couldn't stop laughing and it was good to see her happy.

"Nice job Niall!" She playfully hit my shoulder then began brushing herself off and standing up using the wall for balance.

"Why thank you very much Morgan!" I stood up and grabbed her by the hand pulling her off the ice and into the main building. Immediatly she began ripping the skates off.

"Those were way too tight!" She said slid on her boots and walked over to me, hugging my arm and leaning on my shoulder. "Cold?" I asked, pulling my arm out of her grasp and putting it across her shoulders rubbing up and down her arm to keep her warm.

"Want some hot chocolate?" I asked walking up to the concession stand and pulling out some money.

"Surely" She replied as I handed the lady the money and grabbed our two hot chocolates, handing one to her and keeping one to myself.

We walked outside to the parking lot ad found my car. I opened her door for her and then headed into the drivers seat, driving us back to her house. The boys and Daniella had an interveiw in the city today. Morgan didn't have to go, and I was staying with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was lieing on the couch, waiting for Morgan to get out of the shower and I was watching TV. She came downstairs in my green t-shirt and some black shorts, her hair still wet and curly pushed to the right side. She came to the couch and I sat up, her sitting next to me. I put my arm around her and pulled her tight and close to me and kissed her on the top of her head. She looked up at me and smiled.

"What?" I asked her.

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"Everything, and I had alot of fun today." She looked up at me, her green eyes glowing.

"No need to thank, it's what I'm here for. And I'm glad you had fun! I did too. You know if you want to maybe tomorrow we could- you're asleep." I chuckled, "You always do that to me Morg." Smiling to myself, I slowly stood up and picked her up in my arms like a child, carrying her upstair and tucking her into bed. Then, I headed back downstairs to get some food.

About 20 minutes later the pizza guy came to the door and the smell of delicious pizza filled the house. I handed the guy his money and sat down at the table with the whole pizza infront of me. I grabbed the best slice I saw and started to eat.

"BOO!"

"Holy shit!" I screamed falling back in my chair, the hot pizza all over my shirt to see and laughing Morgan standing over me.

"Sorry! But you don't order pizza and let me sleep through it!"

We both laughed.
