Reunited

Give Me Love

Do you know what the best feeling in the world is? Neither do I. I woke up to the sound of shattering glass and cursing, I turned my head to the alarm clock on the table 2:17 a.m. I rolled out of bed and thew a shorts and a t shirt on and put some more clothes into a bag. I opened my bedroom window as quietly as I could, slipping out into the cool air. Stepping out onto the flat roof I shut the window slowly, turning on my heel I jumped from the roof and down onto the concrete.

I walked in the direction of Niall's and the boys flat, hoping I could stay there for a while. Feeling the cool wind nip at my bare skin caused goosebumps to run up and down my body, covering my arms and legs. I wrapped my arms around my stomach and I could see my breath come out of my mouth.

I heard a rumble of thunder and rolled my eyes, looking up to see big dark clouds, circling around the city. Rain started to pour down onto the concrete and my already shaking body was paralyzed. I could barely feel any of my body, so I tried to run as fast as I could. I thought I was sprinting but I was only jogging rapidly. The rain soaked my clothes, making it harder to run and see.

Once I reached the flat I knocked on the door softly, shaking from the coolness. I only heard silence from inside the house so I went around back and saw a window. I tried to see if it was unlocked and saw the latch opened, I pushed it up and crept through, hitting my leg against the counter. "Shoot!" I whispered and I saw the light turn on in the hallway.

"Who's there? Are you a robber? Or a sex criminal?!" I could hear Harry yell, Louis pops out of no where and hits me with the bat in the head, "SUPERMAN!!!!!" He yells and I holler in pain holding my head. "Ow Louis Tomlinson!" I yelled waking up Zayn, Liam and Niall. "Jesus Emma why are you here, what time is it?" I looked at all of them, stuttering. "I um- uh- I don't wanna talk about it." I look down and scratch the back of my neck, holding back my tears. I saw out of the corner of my eye Niall walk over to where i'm standing, then familiar strong arms wrap around me pulling me into a soft yet protective hug.

"God Emma your shaking and soaked, Liam make her some tea, Harry get some blankets, Louis grab a fresh pair of my sweats and a t-shirt and Zayn start a fire." He demanded and pulled me into a bathroom. "Niall you re-really don't ha-ave to-o." I felt my bottom lip shaking from my soaking body. Louis handed him the clothes and Niall shut the door, peeling off my clothes. i was fine with him dressing me since he was my best friend. He was the only guy I felt comfortable naked around. He dried me off with a towel and stopped when he saw my back and all the cut marks from the glass and the bruises from my dad beating me. he quickly finished drying me off and put a pair of his boxers, sweats, and a baggy t-shirt over me.

Niall picked me up bridal style and went to the couch, Harry following with blankets, Zayn staring at his successful fire and Louis sitting on the edge of the couch worried. Niall sat down, placing me on his lap and Harry wrapped a blanket around my shivering body. Liam came in quietly with a steaming cup of tea in his hands, handing it to Niall who pressed the cup to my lips. "Come on Em, just a few sips please." I nodded and drank a little bit of the tea, then he put it on the coffee table and wrapped his arms back around me.

"Hey guys can you excuse Emma and I for a little bit?" They all understood and got up and left Niall and I in silence. Once they were all in their respected rooms he turned his head to face mine and i looked him in the eyes. I don't know what I saw, he looked confused all  I knew is he wanted answers. i sighed and I sniffled. "Niall I don't want to talk about it." i frowned and closed my eyes tightly.

"Emma you have to tell me, you're in danger and it's my job to protect you and i'm not doing a good job obviously. Look I know already who did it, why you have those bruises and why you came here in the middle of the night, crying and soaking wet. And I know i will do everything in my power to protect you from him and never let him hurt you again. you can stay with me and the boys, even if you don't wanna you are going to stay with us. you can share a room with me if you'd like, until we can figure something out permanently. Louis and I will go to your house tomorrow and sort everything out with your dad and get your things. You will never be hurt again I promise, you have all of the boys to protect you if i'm not there  but as long as i'm here your safe from all harm. Now let's go inside and get you settled in my bed I'll sleep on the couch tonight."

Niall picked me up and held me close to his chest, he carried me all the way down the hall into his bedroom which I remember since I slept there the other night. Niall placed me in the warm bed, tucking me in, making sure I was completely covered in covers. I was still shaking a lot though I looked up at him with big eyes, "Can you hold me and sleep with me Niall?" He chuckles and nods, "You didn't even have to ask my love." He slipped under the covers and puled my frame into him, entangling his legs with mine so they have heat to warm them. I rest my head against his chest and sniffled, "Thank you for everything Niall, it means a lot to me that someone cares this much about me." He looks down at me and kisses my head, "You are so perfect Emma, I'll always help you with anything you need, just ask princess." I nod and smile into his chest, he snuggles me and kissed my hairline. "Niall can you please sing me to sleep?" I ask and bite my lip looking up at him. He nods and smiles, starting to sing my favorite song, "Exit Wounds" by the script. I felt myself falling asleep to the sound of his irish accent, singing to me softly in my ear, hushing me.

I was finally safe.
