When Nightmares Become Reality

I got in my room and pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed Niall. He answered after one ring.
‘Hello?’
‘Hello Niall It’s Jazz, Could I stay at your house tonight’
‘Of course, I’ll send someone to pick you up right now’
‘Okay, thank you Niall’ and I hung up.
I packed my overnight bag and listened to my dad at the door Banging and pleading for me to come out. ‘Please Jasmine, Please, I didn’t mean it. You know I get angry easy when I drink’ I heard a beep of a car coming from outside, I looked out my window and saw the black car. That must have been for me.
I grabbed my bag and put it over my shoulder and opened the door, my dad was sitting on the other side of the room with his eyes closed. I snuck out the front door without making a sound and got down to the car. There was someone holding the car door open for me.
‘Hello’ I said as I passed him and climbed in. He closed the door behind me and walked around to the driver’s side door and climbed in.
‘Hello Jazz, My name is Paul and I’m the boy’s bodyguard but for tonight I’m yours. They explained to me what happened with everything.’ He started to drive.
‘So Paul, Is it hard to be a body guard for them, you know with all the girls screaming and pushing and crying?’
‘It was hard at first, but I’m used to it now and they boy’s are practically my family now anyways. So I get to spend time with them which is really fun’
‘Okay, that’s cool’ I didn’t know what else to say, so we sat in silence until we pulled up to Niall’s house.
‘Here we are’ Paul said as he pulled the handbrake up.
I opened the door, got out and walked up to the door. ‘Is he here Paul, All the lights are off?’ I said looking back to him. I rang the doorbell and the door opened straight away and Niall was standing there in pajamas, snapback and socks. But no shirt. I was staring and Niall coughed and I felt my face go red.
‘Hello Niall’ I said as I looked up to his face.
‘Hey’ He said as he pulled me in and hugged me. ‘Thank you Paul’ He said as he looked up from my face.
He pulled me into his house and I heard the car drive off. Niall turned the light on and put his hand under my chin and tilted my head up and examined my face.
‘What happened?!’ Shit, I forgot about my swollen face.
‘Me and my dad got in an argument and he hit me, No big deal. I just didn't want to stay in the same house as him, Is it okay if I stay here tonight?’ I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled it away from my face.
‘Its fine, but he hit you?’ I could hear the anger building up in him.
‘Yeah, it’s not a big deal Niall, He is going home in the morning, He will be gone by the time I go back.’ I said as I took his snapback of his head and put it on my own and pulled my best gangster pose.
It made Niall laugh and then made me laugh. He tried taking the hat of me but I was too quick and I held it from him, He picked me up walked down the hall, turning the lights on as he went. We got to a room that looked like a spare room. He put me down and said ‘You can either stay in this room or you can stay in my bed, I don’t mind which one you stay in’
‘I hope you don’t get offended Niall, but would you mind if I stayed in this room?’ I said as I pointed to the spare room bed.
‘No, It’s okay’ He said as he smiled. ‘I’ll be in this room, just across the hall’ He said as he pointed to the door behind him. ‘I’m actually hungry, I’ll be back in just a minute’ He said as he walked back down the hall. I took my jacket off and threw it on the bed. He came back a couple of minutes later holding cupcakes and cookies.
‘Oh no.’ I said when I say the cupcakes.
‘What?’ He said as cookie crumbs fell from him mouth.
‘I was baking you Irish colored cupcakes before I left and now you won’t get to see them’ I said as I frowned.
‘I’m sure they would have tasted and looked great, Next time you stay here we can make them, Okay?’ He said as he opened his door. It was surprisingly clean for a guy’s room.
‘Okay’ I said smiling. ‘Good-night Niall’ I said as I walked over and kissed his cheek and walked back to my room and closed the door behind me.
*** The Next Morning***
I was already in the kitchen and jhad breakfast cooking when Niall came down in a singlet and the same pajama pants as last night. ‘Smells amazing’ He said as he sniffed the air.
‘Thank you’ I said.
‘Sorry about the shirt’ He said as he looked at me. ‘I know how much you liked looking at my body last night, But I was cold this morning’ He said as he winked at me.
I felt my face go red as I put his plate of food in front of him.
When we finished eating and Niall had a shower we headed over to my apartment. I unlocked the door and headed upstairs and there was a note from my dad taped to the door saying
I’ve gone, I’m sorry about hitting you last night. Seeing if you were okay wasn’t the only reason for my visit, Doc’s were called a couple of weeks ago and your brother was taken off me. But he is with a nice family now, you don’t have to worry, I’m sorry again.
Love dad xox’
I stared at the note and scrunched it in a ball as I opened the door. I looked around the house, nothing had been disturbed. Niall was walking to the kitchen and called out to me. ‘Jazz, Come here!’ He said and I ran to him. The Irish cupcakes were sitting on the bench cooked to perfection but there was a note above them. ‘Probably another note from my dad’ I said as I opened it and started to read it. It wasn’t from my dad. It was from the ‘Anon’ person. Niall looked up from the cupcakes and saw my facial expression.
