Don't Forget Where You Belong

Niall's P.O.V.

He lips are so sweet. I was getting lost in the feel of them moving against my own and the heat that was radiating from how close our bodies were. I pulled her closer... until I heard the door fly open.

Riley quickly jumped off of me and stood up awkwardly.

"RILEY?!" Charlottes shocked voice rang through the room. "What the actual hell is going on in here? Niall?" She raised her voice shocked to see that I was the one Riley was just straddling.

"Char..." Rileys voice was shaky as she took a step towards Char and putting up her hands as if approaching an angry animal.

"Riley, what are you doing in here with Niall when you have a date out there? What has gotten into you?" Char said shocked at her little sisters behavior

I had to step in, Riley was at a loss for words

"Charlotte, it was all my doin..." I started to say before she cut me off

"Dont get me started on you Horan" She pointed at me... man Char can be scary sometimes

Ok then...

She turned her attention back to Riley and her face faltered a little when she saw the tears start to form. I couldnt just sit there. I got up and put my arm around Rileys shoulders in an attempt to comfort her. Charlotte shot daggers at me with her eyes

"Ry, dont start crying. Im sorry I yelled. Im just really lost at the moment. Care to explain?" Charlotte said calming down a little

"Yeah..." Riley let out a sigh. "Look I hate Chase... he's a jerk. When you brought me to Niall earlier, we both realized that we have feelings for each other.... and because of certain circumstances... we wanted to keep him and I a secret." Riley got that out fast and started playing with her fingers. I rubbed small circles on her lower back

"Then let him go Ry, no one likes him. Im happy you're in here, but I just cant see why you would do it this way... hiding in closets." Char motions to the two of us and I see Rileys lip quiver

"Look Char, its my fault. Some crap with management and what happened a few weeks ago. We have to keep this a secret, and Chase is a good cover. He's a dick anyway right?" I say hoping that her hate for Chase is strong enough to help me get away with that lie

"Oh I see" She says contemplating.

Riley looks at me thankfully and back to Char.

"Please dont tell anyone" I tell her pleading. Riley just stays quiet. I know she wont like lying to Charlotte, but I have no problem with it, if it means I get to keep my girl next to me.

Charlotte considers it "Well he is an ass hole and Im not concerned about him. Im only concerned about you" She says talking to Riley

"Im alright, I promise" Riley says looking and Char and gives her a half smile... I think that is her lying smile. I saw that same smile when she told me she was fine after I asked her if Chase hurt her. I swear to God I'll kill him.

"ok well Im gonna go back out there. But Ry I expect a very long girls night to chat about this soon. But I'll give you two a moment before you have to come back." Char said. She looked worriedly at Ry one more time before exiting and closing the door behind her

"That was close" I breathed out. Riley didnt move so I stepped closer and rested my head on her shoulder

"Talk to me babe" I whispered in her ear. Her body moved slightly and I felt her hands find my hair. I held her tighter

"I've never lied to Char before..." She said a little weak

"well technically, I lied to her. You didnt" I told her trying to comfort her

"Yeah but I didnt correct it" She said

"Do we have any other options at this point?" I said a little exasperated

"No I guess not... just hold me Niall" She whimpered and I held her tighter. I hated seeing her like this, but there was nothing we could do. It takes everything in me not to go tell off Foster and kick that pansy ass Chase into next week.

I held Riley for a while before we knew we had spent too much time away. She was a little nervous that Chase would notice and be angry.

"You sure he hasnt hurt you?" Rileys head whipped around to meet my gaze as we walked down the hall. She was about to say something

"Hey there you are Riley!" Foster... I really hate him right now

"Were you looking for me?" Riley half smiles... yeah thats her fake smile. I will get down to the bottom of this. I swear I'll hurt him if he hurts her.

"Well that hansom boyfriend of yours is in there looking for you. Great news. I got a meeting with his dad!" Foster looked so relieved. I can understand where he's coming from, but my girl is caught in the cross hairs.

"Thats great! And he's not my boyfriend..," Riley responds, and refuses to meet my eyes.

"Well tomato potato. " Foster waves it away with his hand and ushers her back into the reception hall. I watch as she goes to Chase. He looks almost pissed and grabs her wrist when he thinks no one is watching.

She winces and I start to walk over when Harry grabs my arm.

"We need to talk mate" Harry whispers

"I need to go" Harry inturrupts

"no you need to come with me now" He hurridly says

"What the hell?" I ask him still looking for Riley

"Niall, I just got off the phone with Simon... he knows... about the drugs and Kaycees death."

Shit

"And whats worse... the detective wants to re open her death... he suspects that there may have been foul play..."

"What do you mean?" I say
This cant be happening. I thought we were done with this...

"It means that I think they are sending people to arrest you. Simon said to get you in a car and get out of here so no one sees you arrested publicly...."

Well damn
