Keep Me Safe

Emma’s POV
When I woke up Niall was already out of bed and I could smell food cooking. It makes sense that he would be down stairs already, he really loves his food. I sit up in bed and reach for my phone. No don’t read any more of those tweets. Don’t do that to yourself. The pain is already welled up inside of you don’t add more. My subconscious warned. I pulled my hand back and rubbed the back of my neck fighting tears. Should I tell Niall and Victoria? No, I don’t need to bring them down. I just have to pretend nothing happened. I mean, they’re going to find out eventually right? It’s kind of hard to miss. I open the door and walk to the kitchen. Niall was sitting at the table and Victoria was by cooking something. They didn’t seem to notice me so I said, “Hey guys what’s up?” Niall looked up at me and quickly made his way over to me pulling me into a hug. . “Hey Em,” he said. I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes, “Morning babe.” I replied. Babe? Can I call him babe? It’s not like we are an official couple. Whatever he seemed to enjoy me using the term. I had to force a smile onto my face to hide the pain I was feeling I just want to tell him so bad! But I can’t I don’t want to worry him. I glanced over at Victoria who still hasn’t said anything. “Hey Tor, Whatcha making?” I asked hoping to get something out of her. “Umm just some eggs and bacon.” She said, her voice was shaky and weak. Has she been crying? I could tell she was trying to act cheerful but I saw right through her I know her too well. . “Were you crying? What’s wrong?” I asked walking up to her and putting my arm around her. She tried telling me she was fine. It was an obvious lie considering the fact that she was tearing up. I turned her so that she was facing me. “You know, don’t you?” I asked tearing up myself. I was seriously hoping she would say no but, of course, she didn’t. She shook her head yes and let her tears fall with mine she pulled me into a hug and we cried together. Niall was standing awkwardly where I left him. I could tell he knew but, I wasn’t ready to pull away from Tori yet. When we finally stopped crying I walked over to Niall and hugged him. I rested my head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. “I’m so sorry.” Niall whispered into my hair and then kissed the top of my head. I looked up at him, “what do we do now?” I asked. I’m calling the boys they’ll come down here we’ll figure it out.” He said in a steady voice. He pulled away to go make the call but I held on to his hand. He turned back around and looked at me confused. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before asking the question I desperately needed to know the answer to.
