Soulcrusher

Frida finally let the fact that Niall was here go. She still didn’t like the idea of him, but she understood the love and affection I felt towards him. We had all gathered in the kitchen after our little talk. Frida and Casp cooked for us and we ate a simple omelet. When it was time to go to bed Casp showed us to the guest room on the first floor. He and Frida then walked up, hand in hand, to their own bedroom. I left Niall alone in the room as I went to the bathroom. As I closed the door and locked it, I couldn’t help but wish that life would be that simple. As simple as closing a door and locking away the troubles. I did my business and washed my hands. My gaze lifted and I took a look at myself in the mirror. There was bags underneath my eyes, I looked beyond tired and sad. My hair was a mess so I put it up in a bun, keeping it out of the way as I brushed my teeth.

I brushed my teeth and thought about what we had to do next. We had to think of a plan. We had to find a place to start. I knew Simon was going to move her every time I was even remotely close. So we had to take him by surprise. It was going to be hard, but I had to believe we could do this. I had to believe I was going to get my baby back. As I stood up straight I looked at myself in the mirror once more. A few months ago I never would’ve guessed I was going to be here. I never thought I was going to fall in love, not with Niall anyways. I took a long deep breath and walked to the door. I quickly unlocked it and walked with slow steps towards our room for the next few days. I heard a guitar playing and Niall’s soft voice was singing. I looked around me slowly to see if I was truly alone as I walked to the door. I stopped just as I was about to walk inside and saw him sitting with his back towards me.

“And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe
Without you, but I have to”

My breath got caught in my throat as I heard him sing those famous words of Taylor Swift and Colbie. The song had more than once made me bawl my eyes out, and even this time I felt my heart break and my eyes tear.

“Breathe
Without you, but I have to
Never wanted this, never want to see you hurt
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve
People are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out”

Of course he had known I was standing there the entire time, but it was when I sighed that he turned around. The moonlight was hitting his face just perfectly and his voice still rung in my ears. He looked God like in that light. His perfect smile sat on his plump lips and his eyes told a story that no one could ever understand. A story of heart ache and change. A story of pain.

“That’s my favorite song.” He slowly nodded his head and looked down at his guitar in his arms.

“I know.” The smile on my lips grew bigger when I noticed he blushed just slightly. I walked inside the room and closed the door behind me. “You know…” He played a string and looked up at me. “It reminds me what if felt like thinking you were leaving without me.” I slowly placed my hand over my heart and felt it break inside. I had broken him so many times now. “I tried to think that people really are people, and that sometimes it really doesn’t work out. But I always stopped myself. I always found myself shunning the idea like the devil.” More tears rolled down my cheeks. Niall noticed and put the guitar down by the window. He had drawn the curtain so that no one could see inside. He walked over to me and stood in front of me.

“People are people and sometimes we change our minds.” I shrugged and before I knew it his lips were on mine. His kiss was gentle, kind and caring. He knew what I had meant by those words. I meant that I had made up my mind to leave him, to leave all of them. But then he went and practically told me he loved me. I kind of felt the same back. Niall stopped kissing me and leaned back with a smug smile on his lips.

“Really?” He had read my freaking thoughts and overheard my ranting. My cheeks turned a darker color and I averted my eyes from his. “Because I can officially tell you that I love you. I love you Nicola, Georgie or whatever you want me to call you.” He took a deep breath and kissed my lips quickly. “I love you.” His lips softly pressed against mine once again and when he leaned back I stared at him with a huge smile on my lips.

“I love you too.” His smile grew just a little bit bigger and I pulled him into a hug. Who would’ve known that I was going to be hugging a vampire who tried to kill me several times?

Notes

It's short. It's sweet.

I hope you like it!
