Chapter 7
Niall's POV
I wanted to do something for Lily. To show her how much I cared. I couldn't sleep that much because I wanted her with me so I decided on the perfect thing. I jumped out of bed and got to work.
***
Everything was set I just needed Lily. It was about 2:30 in the morning so she would be asleep right now, and I didn't really want to wake her up but this was going to be worth it. I opened the front door o the Tapscott residence and tip toed my way towards Eloise bedroom trying not to trip over anything. When at her door I opened it l wary of the fact it squeaked. When I was sure I'd be able to fit through I walked in and knelt down beside to mattress Lily was sleeping on. She looked so peaceful. But nevertheless I shook her slightly and she woke. "Urgh...Niall what time is it? What are you doing here?" She asked sleepily. "Never mind the time just take my hand I have something to show you" I whispered hoping not to wake Eloise. I held out my hand. Lily hesitantly took it. I pulled her out of bed and led her down to where the volleyball net was.
When we arrived she gasped with surprise. I had lauded out a blanket and put tea light candles all around it. They stay alight because it was such a calm night. "Niall!...it's amazing!thank you" she said exasperated. "Anything for you" I say and kiss her forehead. I only then realise that she I cold only wearing short shorts and a singlet top "god Lily you're freezing, here" I say and slip off my jacket on to her. She looks a lot better when I do this. I led her to the blanket and we cuddled while talking about anything and everything. I found out that she really just wants to travel for the rest of her life experiencing everything life has to experience. She was just so care free. Until she told me that everyone thinks that who she is, the care free person but when in actual fact there was so much she was holding in that she didn't want to let out.
Lily was a puzzle I was willing to solve. All I had to do we're find the missing pieces. We talked until the sun rose and lit up the sky only then did we fall asleep side by side in each others arms. Everything was so perfect. Only I didn't know that today was going to change Lily's life for ever.
