Forever and A Day (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

chapter 9

~~Nialls POV. ~~

I checked my phone – it was a message from harry.

‘Niall, have you visited Demi? How is she?... next time you come to my flat I gotta tell you something but for now... please... check hers arms.

-Hazza ‘

That’s when it hit me... Demi and Claudia are being bullied by that Celina girl. And the fact he’s telling me to check her arms! Gosh... I need to get over to her house.

I grabbed my car keys and some flowers that were in a vase (Just because I’m cute and want to cheer her up) and left for Demi’s house- which was a 10 minute drive away.

I sat in my car driving and the amount of anxiety and worries that are going through my body is seriously unbelievable! Alright... I thought to myself, let’s be positive. Sunshine, lollie pops, unicorns and food… calm and collective Niall, clam and collective. Maybe the radio will help I thought yeah… “The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger.” The first line I heard of the song ‘ suicide is painless’ Holy fcuk! This song made more and more worried and scared! What if demi is sui- no I cant think like that. Not at all, not about my princess!

When I got there I saw her curled up on the sofa asleep through the window. I knocked on the window and she jumped up from her spot on the couch. Once she noticed me, she smiled from ear to ear and ran to the front door.

As she opened the door, she ran into my chest and gave me a huge hug. When we pulled apart I handed her a bouquet of flowers. She smiled again, took them and walked inside gesturing me to follow her. I walked inside and put my coat on the jacket rack and followed her inside to her kitchen.

“Have you... heard what happened to Claudia?” I asked awkwardly. She bobbed her head and looked at the ground. “Yeah... I texted harry about what happened... we found her on the floor with- “she stopped and held her wrist. “Cuts”. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her and whispered. “Please, Please don’t ever do stuff like that. I love you so much... and I care an awful lot about you...” I touched her arm and pulled up the sleeve. I rubbed my thumb gently over her wrist. “I know babe” she nodded.

“I’m hungry, wanna go get something to eat?” I asked her. She hesitated “um, sure but did you wanna stay here and just cook something?” “Well, that sounds fun!” I giggled.

~DEMI’S POV~

We decided to cook Chicken and some homemade chips. “Niall! Stop throwing the bloody seasoning!” “NO!” he protested while throwing seasoning down my t-shirt. “That’s it! YOURE SO DEAD!” I said while finding the salt from the cupboard. I took the lid off and threw it all over Niall. “Shit” he shrieked while running his hands through his salty hair. We were pissing ourselves on the floor of my kitchen with seasoning and salt all over the place. Finally catching a breath “Niall. We got to clean this up” I ordered him. “Fine, where do you keep your vacuum?” he asked me “Around the corner in the study” I replied.

When the cleaning was done, we sat down to eat our meal. I hesitated as Niall started eating his chips. “What’s wrong babe? Do you want me to look away” he joked while covering his eyes. “No” I laughed, “I just don’t feel that hungry anymore” I stated. “Oh... well you haven’t eaten for a couple hours, at least eat some chips or something” he suggested. “Alright then” I agreed while taking some chips from my plate.

We ended up cuddling on the lounge and watching T.V. I could still smell salt on his shirt. “Wow.” He said while looking to me. “What?” I asked self-consciously. “You’re so beautiful” he smiled. I chuckled and leaned my head on his chest and continued cuddling.
