Saved Me From My Shadow//1D Fan-Fiction

Chapter 6- Burger King Bitches

Olivia POV

When the car finally came to a stop, we all piled out, forming a small huddle and closing the door behind us. The car went off to park somewhere, whilst I was just realizing that I had no idea where we actually were. Good thing there aren't any responsible adults out there to care about me or my safety, otherwise the police would be out for me soon. The boys led me inside the restaurant, the sign overhead claiming it to be a Burger King. 'What's a Burger King?', I thought to myself. But, I had spoken out loud, though it was only muttering. And Niall was stood right next to me.

He looked at me as though I was insane, and dragged me by the wrist to catch up with the boys who were walking ahead of us, still sneaking cheeky smirks occasionally. Peculiar, but I would get used to it. After all, they are my first friends in years, and I don't intend to lose them. I intend to enjoy this fragment of happiness for as long as I can. After all, the day can only last so long, and then I return to my own personal hell.

Niall stopped once we were stood directly next to the boys, leaning in to talk to them without me hearing, slightly to my annoyance. As I was being temporarily ignored, I looked around, taking in my surroundings for the first time, and quite possibly the last. I wanted to absorb everything in case I never got to see it again. However, a group of girls caught my eye as I was glancing everywhere.

They were all incredibly attractive, and seemed to be looking in my direction, making me feel suddenly self conscious of my appearance. Then I recalled the 5 stunningly hot guys stood just behind me and calmed down a bit, but not completely. They still seemed to be giving me a death glare when they thought I wasn't looking, or even when I was. 'Maybe going out for lunch with celebrities wasn't such a good idea', I thought to myself, no longer feeling as bubbly as before.

I went to walk out of the restaurant and just sit outside until the boys were done and could drive me back to the school, but was stopped when I realized that Niall was still holding me, though his hand had slipped from my wrist to my hand, and if you didn't know any better, you'd think we were a couple. I removed my hand from his, assuming that was an additional factor to the glares, and they did instantly die down, though the glances at the boys did not. He turned briefly to see why I had let go, obviously not having realized himself he was still holding me, but I simply gave him a look that, surprisingly, he completely understood.

'Feed me and then I'll be in the mood to explain.'

Bit precise, but the breathy chuckle he gave before returning to ordering the food, having finished his whispered conversation whilst I was distracted, said that he understood. Why this boy could read me like a book I would never know, but he could, and it was a comforting feeling, in a way. Nobody had ever made me feel like that since my Mum and Step-Dad died. Why was it that a near stranger was slowly tearing down the walls I had put up for the sake of staying alive and sane?

I'd almost forgot they were celebrities, so I was a bit shocked when the group of girls who had been trying to murder me with their eyes came over and asked for a picture whilst we waited for our order, which was probably quite large due to the groups size. 'Wait, what did they order for me?' These boys, ordering food for me without knowing if I even had any allergies, but no matter. I didn't have allergies, and I was still slightly happy about trying new things, and this Burger King was the newest thing I had eaten in a long time. In fact, today had involved quite a few new things that I hadn't had in a long time.

The girls came over and moved me out the way not too nicely without the boys realizing, tapping them on the shoulder to get their attention. It was now I realized how littler clothing they were wearing compared to my baggy hoodie and baggy jeans. They were the type of girls boys like these should have been taking to lunch, not me. When the group turned around, they wore large grins when they noticed there were fans asking for a photo. Niall, however, showed a momentary glimpse of concern for how I had been pushed behind the group, but quickly cast it away when I gave my most convincing fake smile.
