Hi //: n.h (COMPLETED)

-Chapter 24- ✔️

-Chapter 24-

After Bradley had left, I walked around the building and sat on the small wall near the entrance to the car park.

My head was burning up and I felt physically sick. I wanted nothing more than to go back to my parents' house, pack my stuff, and go back home to London, where I could call Niall and get him to be with me.

I looked up as a dark grey ranger rover speeded into the car park. It seemed strangely familiar, but it wasn't until it stopped abruptly in the space closest to me, that I actually recognised it.

I sat up straight and watched in awe as the door opened, and out rushed Niall Horan. He had a worried frown on his perfect face, but once we made eye contact, it disappeared.

"Cora!" He shouted, jogging over to where I was now standing.

I wrapped my arms around his body and he returned that action.

"I'm so glad you're here." I breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?" He asked, pulling away from me and staring deep into my eyes, probably to make sure I wasn't lying.

"I am now that you're here." I sighed, returning to his arms.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked nervously and I almost smiled at his cuteness.

I shook my head before leaning it against his chest. He kissed the top of my forehead and tightened his arms around my body.

"There is nothing to say; we spoke and got a few things off our chests, but it was very..." I trailed off not quite knowing what word to use.

"Personal?" Niall offered.

"No, intense." I sighed.

"Well I'm not going to force you to tell me, but if you want to, I'm here for you." He said.

"Thank you." I sighed, tightening my arms around his body.

We stood in silence for a minute or two, hugging each other and just being happy in each other's embrace.

"What do you want to do now?" Niall asked, breaking the silence.

"Can we go home?" I asked, pulling away slightly so I could look him in the eyes.

"Sure. I'll drive you, are you parents there?" He asked, grabbing hold of my hand and pulling me slightly towards the car.

"They are, but can we go home, home?" I asked sheepishly.

"Back to London?" Niall asked, a bit shocked.

I bit my lip nervously, what if he doesn't want to drive me back... "Please. If that's okay. I loved it here, but I really want my own bed and just to be close to you."

"Of course it's okay. Come on, if we hurry we'll be in London by half two." Niall said, opening the passengers' door for me.

We pulled up outside my parents' house and I undid my seat belt.

"I'll wait for you here." Niall said, sending me a smile.

I nodded and hopped out the car. I entered the house and my eyes darted towards the hall clock, it was midnight.

I went upstairs and quickly packed all my stuff, (it didn't take long since I was leaving tomorrow anyway and it was just bits and bobs that needed packing). I carried my suitcases (the number may have increased...), down the stairs and Niall was waiting outside the front door. He started putting them in the boot of his car and I ran back upstairs to say goodbye to my parents.
