My Guardian Angel
Pack it Up
"I don't think this is a good idea anymore." I say as I try to go back to the car. Niall catches my hand and pulls me back.
"Babe, it's fine. We will protect you no matter what." He says to reassure me.
"Yeah, remember when he tried to start a problem at the bar and I kicked his ass for you? We can protect you just fine." Harry says. I stiffen at the memories of our encounter.
"You two went to the bar together?" Niall asks with jealousy in his voice.
"No. We were with Demi, Selena, and Justin. It's no big deal." I say as I squeeze his hand lightly.
"Demi was there?" He asks excitedly. I look at him angrily and he turns away slightly. We approach the lobby and I let go of his hand.
"Hey Rita! I'm just going to my old apartment to get my stuff." I say as I speak to the lady at the desk. She was very beautiful. She had long dark brown hair. She had beautiful hazel eyes and she was a very curvy woman. She was a very pretty person.
"Here. He changed the locks." She says as she hands me a little silver key. I smile at her.
"Thank you." I say as I take the key. She eyes Niall and winks at him.
"You could always return the favor by hooking me up with the hot blonde. You know just as a fuck buddy." She says as she flashes him a flirty smile. Niall smiles back. I walk over to Niall and kiss him hard. He is shocked at first but he then wraps his arms around my waist. I break the kiss and look back at her.
"Sorry, but my boyfriend will not be your fuck buddy. So avert your eyes sweetheart." I say as I give her an evil look. She rolls her eyes and looks towards Harry. I pull Niall towards the elevator. The other boys follow except Harry.
"Come on Harreh!" Louis yells. I look at Louis and he smiles.
"Thank you." I whisper to him. He just nods. I watch as Harry jogs over to us. He enters the elevator. "Don't even think about it, Styles."
"Why not?" He asks. I look at him and he looks confused.
"She asked me to get Niall to be her fuck buddy. She just wants famous guys to have sex with her so she can get famous. Don't do it." I say to him. He just nods and we get to the third floor I walk down the hallway to apartment C7. I insert the key and take a deep breath before unlocking the door. I open it slowly and notice everything is the same. The dishes are done, the table is set, the movies are put away neatly. I slowly walk towards my old room. I open the door slowly and was relieved to see it empty. I walked in and went straight to his dresser. I saw a note on top.
Dear Devon,
Thank you for 4 amazing months! It has been the tone of my life! I was thinking about what you asked me yesterday and the answer is yes. I will move in with you! I love you so much babe! See you tonight!
Love,
Emma
A tear slips out of my eye. I shred the note and throw the pieces on the ground. Niall came up behind me and wrapped me up in a hug. I pull out of his grip and grab all my clothes out of the closet and lay them on the bed. I pull out my phone and call a friend.
"Hey Jake. Do you think that you and Cody can bring your trucks to my old apartment?" I ask.
"Yeah. I'll be there in 15 minutes." He says. I hang up and go to the bathroom and grab my curlers, curling irons, hair wand, and straightener. I throw them in a trash bag and then I grab my imported shampoo and conditioner from Brazil. I grab all my Bobby pins, headbands, hair clips, flowers, and ribbons and put them in the bag as well.
"Who the hell are you?!" I hear someone yell. I run to the living room and see Devon getting in Zayn's face. Devon is a good 4 inches taller than Zayn and his body contained more muscle but Zayn held his ground.
"I'm a friend of those you hurt. Who the hell are you to be hurting women?!" Zayn replies rudely. Devon gets angry and pulls back to hit Zayn.
"Stop!" I yell at the angry man. He looks over to me and smiles wickedly. He starts walking towards me and I back up into someone. I look up and see Niall. He pulls me behind him. "Don't fight. Please." I whisper to him. He doesn't respond.
"Is this a new one?" Devon asks as he points at Niall. "I always knew you were a whore." I get angry and clench onto Niall's hand. "What happened to the curly haired one? I thought you two had a thing by what I saw at the bar."
At that moment Louis rushes in from the balcony. He looks around confused for second. "Is this the guy?" He asks and I nod.
"So there is three men here. Wow, I never realized how big of a whore you really are." He instigates.
"Harry! Liam!" I yell as Devon nears Niall. Harry and Liam both appear out of different bedrooms. Harry sees Devon and approaches fast.
"I thought I told you last time to leave her alone!" He yells into his face. Devon laughs.
"You must be the back up. She seems to be all over him instead of you. What happened after that kiss at Dumas? Did she leave you for this chump? How sad." Devon says trying to piss off Harry. It worked because Harry punched him in the face.
"Go to the room and finish packing!" Niall commands.
"But-" I start.
"Now!" He yells. I run to the room and grab my bag of bathroom supplies and I set on the bed. Next I bag up all my shoes. I hear the door open again.
"What the hell?!" I hear a familiar voice. I run out of the room but am pushed back in by Liam. I caught a glimpse of Devon against the wall and Niall punching him in the stomach. I turn when I see someone enter.
"Jake! Cody! Will you take these out to your trucks?" I say as I place my shoes with Cody and my bathroom supplies with Jake. They nod and I bag up all my dresses. Then I separately bagged my pants. Then another bagain for shirts and a final bag for jackets. Then I went to my dresser and bagged my underwear and bras. There was still space so I also put in my socks and photo albums of family. "This is the last one." I say as I hand it to Cody. I follow him out of the room and find Devon curled up in a ball on the floor. I gasp and see both Harry and Niall washing their hands. Niall turns to me and looks like someone I don't know. His eyes weren't bright blue anymore; they were dark purplish blue. His beautiful face was dark and uninviting. I rush out of the apartment and out to meet Cody and Jake.
"Lily! Wait!" Zayn yells from behind me. I can hear footsteps running behind me so I run towards the stairs. I enter and run down the steps. As I get to the lobby I lookup and see Zayn and Louis. I keep running and I look for Cody.
I see him closing the back of his pickup truck and I jump into the bed of the truck. He looks in at me but realizes what I'm doing when Zayn and Louis run out.
"Do you know where she went, mate?" Louis asks out of breath.
"No, she didn't run through here. Maybe she went to her car." Cody lies for me. I wait for Cody to tell me they were gone.
"Coast is clear." He says as he opens the tailgate. I climb out and walk to the front of the car. "So, why are you running babe?"
"I saw something I never thought I'd see and it scares me." I reply bluntly. Henods his head.
"Babe, it's ok. So what if your boyfriend got in a fight. I bet you weren't scared when Drew became a Marine." He says.
"But that's different. Drew Sat behind a computer desk learning how to hack." I say.
"But you have to remember, they are trained to kill first. Kill first questions later." He reminds me.
"But Drew was the same no matter what. When he used to fight he always looked like himself. There was nothing different ever. There was something about Niall that scared me when I saw him." I say with complete honesty. I wipe a tear from my eye and Cody wraps me in a hug.
"There you are!" Louis yells as he runs towards Cody and I.
"Why did you run?" Zayn says in between pants.
"I was afraid." I say quietly.
"I'm going to drop these things at the house." Cody says as he leaves. I nod at him.
"Afraid of what?" Zayn asks.
"Niall." They look at each other then wrap me in a hug. There's nothing to be afraid of. Niall would never hurt you." Louis assures me.
"He isn't the same when he is angry. He isn't the Niall I know. He's someone else and it's frightening." I say to Louis and Zayn.
"So I frighten you?" Someone says behind me. I turn and come face-to-face with my only fear right now. Words couldn't come out. He still looked dark and scary. Even his voice was different. It was deeper and slower, it aadded to the fear factor. I shivered. "Do I?"
"Yes." I whisper. He puts his mouth to my ear and says one word that scared me to death.
"Good." He whispers. I turn and walk towards my car. He doesn't follow. I turn on the car and take it around the block. I spent this tone thinking.
Would he really hurt me? Why is it good to be afraid? Am I just a game? Am I dating someone abusive? Do I know the real Niall? I think to myself. I go back to the complex to pick up the boys. Liam, Louis, Harry, and Zayn climb into the back. I cautiously watch as Niall climbs in. His eyes are normal and his face is beautiful and cheery again.
"I'm hungry. Can we stop and get some food?" He asks.
"You still have 4 pounds of chicken. Eat that." I say.
"Oh yeah! Thanks babe!" He says as he picks my cheek.
"I need to talk to you when we get home." I say sort of scared.
"Anything for you babe." He replies.
"Babe, it's fine. We will protect you no matter what." He says to reassure me.
"Yeah, remember when he tried to start a problem at the bar and I kicked his ass for you? We can protect you just fine." Harry says. I stiffen at the memories of our encounter.
