Look After You
Chapter 10
Jenny’s POV
 
To get as far as we could, I drove with Niall until it was almost eleven o’clock.  We both were tired and decided to get to the next hotel.  I got off the exit and drove down the road to the hotel. We both got out and grabbed our bags. Again at the desk I told them the password Jimmy, and they escorted us to a private elevator which led our floor. This time though, we got the top floor.  I opened the door and walked inside. This room was much nicer than the room the night before.  In here, there was a couch, a bathroom, a nice flat screen TV, a big window with a window seat, a mini kitchen with everything you might need and this time, two beds.  I walked in the dropped my things on the floor. “This is a nice place,” Niall said as he walked over to the bed on the other side of the room. “Yeah, it’s got a lot more here.” I said. “If I were t order room service would you want anything?” Niall asked. “Um, yeah, what are you getting?”  “Man there so much good stuff on here. It’s hard t choose. I think some ice cream would be good. Do you want that?” “Sure.” “What flavor?” “Surprise me.” I opened my bag and got out all of the stuff I would need to shower. I went in the bathroom, washed up and changed into my pajamas. When I got out, Niall was on the bed with his ice cream. “I got you a triple chocolate sundae. Is that okay?” “Oh, yeah that’s fine! I love that.”  I got the ice cream off the table and walked it over to my bed. Before I could sit down to eat it, my phone rang. “Hello?” “Hey, Jen, it’s Mom, you hadn’t called and we are really worried about you.” I hadn’t talked to my mom in days and it felt good to hear her voice. “I’m, fine. We are at the hotel now.” “Okay honey but I really don’t like you doing this. Me and Dad really miss you here.” I could tell she was starting to cry.  “Well, I hope to be home soon. I’m working on it.” “I know, I know. Just try to call as often as you can, okay?” “I will, I promise.” “I love you.” “Love you too.” I hung up the phone. Niall walked by and into the bathroom. I was so tired and frustrated I decided to go to bed now. I turned off the main light but left Niall’s bedside lamp on so he could see. Even with the stress I immediately drifted to sleep.  In my dreams I was still haunted by stress. I was having terrible nightmares. My parents were getting hurt, the boys were getting hurt and worse… I kept yelling at the killers to stop and take me instead, but they wouldn’t listen.  I yelled as loud as I could, kicking and screaming. When I opened my eyes, I started breathing heavily. I looked over at the clock. It was only one AM.  Then Niall sat up in bed and turned on his light. “What’s the matter?” “Uh, I don’t know. Nothing I guess.” I could barely speak. He got up out of bed. “You were screaming. Are ya sure?” He was only wearing his boxers. He sat down right beside me. “It’s okay, I just had a bad dream, that’s all.” “It didn’t look like it, or sound like it.” “I’m sorry I woke you up, it’s just, I’m so stressed right now I can barely breathe.” I could feel the tears well up inside my eyes. I held them back as best as I could so he wouldn’t see. “The best thing t do, is t just relax and not worry. Just forget everything for the night.” “I wish it was that easy.” He smiled at me. “Come here.” He held out his arms and wrapped them around me. His skin was warm against mine. I had my head lying on his shoulder. When he let go, he walked over to his side of the room and shut the light off again.  Then he walked back over to me. “Scoot over.” He said. I obeyed. He got in right beside me. We both were on our backs. I moved myself as close as I could get. My head lay on his chest. He ran his fingers through my hair. “Tell me what’s botherin you.” “I’m just scared, scared that this won’t work out.” “Don’t worry. Just take each day at a time. We’re more than half way there.” “But, I just want you to get back safe.” “I will. I wouldn’t want t lose you either ya know.” I hugged him as tightly as I could. “I’m not the one that matters, you and the boys are.” “Just stop right now! Don’t say that t me. You are a beautiful girl and you are so important.” He then got up, leaned over and kissed me. Butterflies filled my stomach. Niall James Horan just kissed me. “Now, you need t go t sleep. I’ll talk to you until you fall asleep.” “Don’t leave when I do.” “I never will.”
