Abused
Early Mornings
Rachel's P.O.V.
It was only 7am when I woke up the next morning.
I hadn't actually fallen asleep the night before until after 12 but I was too excited to stay in bed.
Niall was still soundly asleep so I slipped out of bed quietly, making sure not to wake him.
The house was eerily quiet with none of the boys awake. I made my self a small bowl of cereal, too excited to eat anything else.
I wasn't just excited - I was also nervous. Very nervous. I hadn't been back to Ireland since I had left for college. At first I talked to my dad on the phone once a week. That went to once a month and then eventually just became never.
And I really couldn't deal with going home to visit. That was the house I had grown up in. The house my mom had lived in.
It had been almost nine years since she had died and I really had gotten used to it. I just didn't want to have to go back there. It was hard for me.
I decided to just not think about it for the moment and focus on the fact that I was going with Niall.
By the time I had finished my breakfast it was half seven.
I decided to get a quick shower since I had so much time to spare.
Once I was out of the shower I did my hair and got dressed into something nice enough. I might as well look good - After all I was going on holiday with Niall Horan. The odds of no one seeing us or taking pictures was very low, and I wouldn't want to make a show of him.
I went back into Niall's room when I was ready to go, checking my suitcase to make sure I had everything.
"Rach? Is that you?"
I stood up quickly, noticing Niall was sitting up in the bed.
"Morning!" I grinned widely.
He rubbed his eyes, obviously tired.
"Geez Rachel, what time is it?" he mumbled.
I shrugged, glancing at the clock beside the bed.
"Almost half nine" I replied.
He frowned.
"And your ready?" he asked.
I nodded enthusiastically.
"You do realise our plane isn't until 2?" he continued, climbing out of the bed slowly.
"I know, I know. But we'll have to be there a few hours early to check in and allow time for boarding and security and all" I reminded him.
He just nodded in response.
"You get ready! I'm gonna bring our cases downstairs and just watch some television" I told him.
"Okay.." he agreed as I took hold of both suitcases.
"Hey Rach?" he called as I went to walk out the door.
I turned my head quickly.
"Yeah?"
"You look really nice today" he told me sincerely, scanning me quickly.
I felt my cheeks heat up considerably.
"Um, thanks Niall.." I mumbled in response, quickly shuffling out of the room, feeling incredibly awkward.
Why did he have to do things like that? Why did he have to make me feel like this? Nervous, yet excited.. Incredibly safe, yet scared too. Scared that he was going to notice and figure out how I felt about him. Scared that it would ruin everything.
