Keep Me Safe

Niall’s POV
When I woke up this morning, Emma was still asleep. I could smell breakfast cooking downstairs. Victoria must be awake. I looked down at Emma. Her face, it was stained with tears and very pale. What could possibly wrong? Things were going so well last night. Then, it hit me. Oh no, no, no, no!!! I looked and saw her phone put down on her night stand. I grabbed it and turned it on. Her phone was on Twitter, on a tweet telling her to kill herself. My heart ached to take away all of her pain. Crap this is my fault, I’m an idiot! How many of these did she see? I put her phone back down and slowly got out of bed so, I didn’t wake her up. Once I was out of the room I ran downstairs to the kitchen where Victoria was making breakfast. “They know.” I said running into the kitchen. Victoria jumped slightly and turned around to look at me. “Who knows? What do they know?” she asked confused but, clearly picking up my panic. “Everyone, the fans they know, they know I’m here. They know I’m here with Emma, they have pictures, the hate has already started.” I said pacing back and forth through the kitchen. “Well what are we going to do? We can’t let her see.” Victoria said the fear in her voice is rising. “She already saw.” I said sadly. “How do you know?” she asked worried. “When I looked at her this morning she had tear stains on her face. At first I didn’t know why but then, it came to me. I didn’t have a choice, had to check her phone. When I opened it, it went right to her twitter on a tweet telling her to kill herself.” I said practically choking on those words. “What?” Victoria asked in hardly a whisper as she started to cry. I pulled Victoria into a hug to comfort her. Then, we heard the bedroom door open. Victoria pulled away from me and turned back to the food wiping the tears off her face. I quickly sat down at the table on the other side of the room. “Hey guys what’s up?” Emma’s voice said as she walked into the kitchen. “Hey Em,” I said getting up and pulling her into a hug. “Morning babe.” She said looking up at me with a half convincing smile. “Hey Tor, Whatcha making?” Emma asked pulling out of my hug. “Umm just some eggs and bacon.” Victoria said trying to sound as happy as possible but, her voice was still shaky from crying, and Emma noticed. “Were you crying? What’s wrong?” Emma asked walking up to her best friend and putting her arm around her. “No, no I’m fine nothing’s wrong.” Victoria said I could tell by her voice she was tearing up again. Emma turned Victoria so that she was facing her. Leaving her hand on Tori’s arm she asked, “You know, don’t you?” Vitoria couldn’t manage to say anything so she just nodded yes and both girls began to cry in each other’s arms. I felt so helpless there is nothing I can do to make them feel better so, I just will wait until they stop crying.
