I turned around and got inside my house. I decided not to go to the kitchen. I just went straight upstairs, into my bathroom. I filled the bathtub with hot steaming water and got in. I needed that if I didn’t want to get a cold. I looked at the wounds in my knees. The skin was almost peeling off. I think it’s a good sign right? I stood there, cursing myself for not bringing a book because if I had so I could relax here, but I forgot either way. I submerged till my nose and closed my eyes, enjoying the warmth coming from the water. I letted my mind trail off to random thoughts.
What if Niall hadn’t come? What would have happened? My arm still hurts a bit and now I can’t even walk in the school property without having to watch my back. That Japer… Urg! And then, Niall, my savior… He saved me luckily. How can a guy like him hide behind those tattoos. I mean, he seems really sweet, he has been nothing but that towards me and people around me, so why does he hide behind tattoos? And what’s that name he has written? I saw two already. A man and a woman’s name tattooed in the board of his hands, one in each other. I hadn’t got the opportunity to ask him whose names are those, plus we’re not that intimate. We just shared a few kisses… my first kiss and the second and the third…
I submerged to breath and caught myself smiling for no reason. I relaxed my arms in the bathtubs arms and leaned my body so I could relax. I closed my eyes. I was at peace in there, but I couldn’t just stand and do nothing. Soon y finger will start to get purple and I hate that. I tend to bite the skin and then it hurts. It’s a weird habit, I have a lot of those. I reached for some shampoo in the cabinet and landed it in the arm of the bathtub. I took my steamy shower, completely relaxed. When I got out, I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out of my bathroom. As I walked into the room, I noticed a small shadow sat on the bed.
“Ahhh!” I yelled and the shadow jumped out of the bed
“Shh!” Maria said “It’s just me!”
“Jesus sister! You want to give me an heart attack?” I asked, my hand in the place where my heart should be.
Maria laughed and sat again in the bed, her legs crossed. I got into some green sweatpants and a white tank top. I jumped to my bed and made Maria jump too accidentally. She laughed, I laughed, we both laughed.I letted my head rest in a cold pillow. Against my body that was still hot from the bath, the sensation was awesome. I closed my eyes.
“So, tell me what’s that all about Niall!” I opened my eyes slowly and covered my face with the pillow
“I don’t want to talk about it!” I talked against the pillow and felt my cheeks burning
“You had your first kiss hadn’t you?” She asked and I only let her see my eyes “You had haven’t you? I can see the sparkle in your eyes, you had it!” I nodded and she jumped on me “I’m so happy!” She laughed, making me laugh with her.
“Not more than me you’re not!” I said between laughs
“Do you like him?” She asked
I never really thought about it. I mean I blush and all but… I don’t think I can say that I like someone just like that. Is too soon!
“What do you think about him?” I changed the subject
“I like him, he’s funny and cute and is really nice to you! I mean, mom and dad would freak out if they saw you with him but… I like him!” She shrugged
That’s my first problem… my parents. I don’t even want to think about feelings right now. I only want to talk about how my parents would react. It’s not like I’m ashamed, but I’m afraid of them. My mom could get angry and she doesn’t have a soft hand let me tell you. Yeah, I’m not a minor anymore and I could leave, but no one would be here to protect my three little sisters if I do.
“I’m glad you do! Look, are you like… dating Matt or something?” I asked
“Yeah I am!” She smiled
“He asked you?” I asked her
“Yeah, why? Niall didn’t?” I shook my head negatively “I’m sure he will, it’s just a matter of time!” I nodded, looking down.
I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to date, if I wanted him to ask me to date him. I don’t know how I would react if he did. Actually I don’t even know if I would accept.
“Wait!” Maria said “Is he the reason why you didn’t let me walk in this morning?” She patted on the pillow “Did he slept here? Jo, aren’t you a virgin anymore? OH MY GOSH!”
“Maria, stop!” I said seriously “He slept here but we didn’t…” I said “I need to explain you the real story about my date with him! Why Jasper attacked me and why Niall saved me!”
“Explain then!”
**
“So Jasper tried to rape you and Niall saved you! But he got hurt and you had to take care of him so you brought him here and he slept here with you?” She said without breathing
“Yeah!” I nodded
“Did you kiss here?” I blushed
“Hum… I was feeling bad that he was hurt because of me so I… I thought he was asleep so I kissed his bruises. He had one in his lower lip. I thought it didn’t count cause he was asleep but it turns our he wasn’t asleep and he corresponded and… “ I sighed
“And you kissed!” She smiled
“It was just a smooch!” I blushed even more
“But you had the full kiss didn’t you?”
“Hum… Actually I had it outside… today!” I said and looked at my hands that were landed on top of the pillow
“WHAT?!” She yelled
“JOHANNA!” We heard from downstairs.
It was mom, and she was angry. Oh no, the girls probably told her about Niall and now I’m gonna get grounded. I looked over at Maria and she did the same, worried. She swallowed and I nodded. I got up and answered.
“Yes mom?” I answered, my voice broke
“GET DOWN STAIRS IMMEDIATELY!” She yelled
“A-Alright, I’m coming!” I walked out of my room and M followed me
I got downstairs as fast as I could. My mom and dad were waiting for me in front of the stairs. My mom’s expression was angry and disappointed at the same time. My dad was tense too, I think I never saw him before, not even after a hard day of work. He’s just a naturally relaxed man but he seems nervous and disappointed too.
“Mom, dad!” I greeted
“WHY DID YOU BROUGHT A BOY HERE JOHANNA SKYES?” Oh shoot, when she calls me by my full name, I better run
“Mom, he…” She cut me off
“HAVE YOU FORGOT THE RULES? NO BOYS ALLOWED BESIDES YOUR FATHER! NONE! I NEED, NO I WANT TO WHO HE WAS!”
“He…” She cut me off again
“AND I DON’T WANT ANY ESCUSES AT ALL, I WANT THE TRUTH, THE NAKED TRUTH JOHANNA!”
“He saved me!” I whispered
“WHAT?” My mom yelled again and I cringed
“He saved me!” I said, louder
“He saved you from what?” She said, calmer, worried
“From a guy!” Maria said, rolling her eyes
“Maria, did you just roll your eyes?” My dad asked, trying to contain a smile
“No! I just looked at the ceiling!” Her body got tense, fear
“Who wanted to hurt you?” My mom asked, not caring about Maria’s attitude problem right now
“I-It was… It was...” Maria cut me off
“It was a jerk from my school! He pushed her into the water and Niall protected her from him!” Maria explained “I got the idea of bringing him in! After all he saved her, we owed him!” Maria said “Twice!” She whispered at me and I smiled at her, she raised her voice again “We just ate croissants, everybody was there and nothing happened! He was nothing but nice to all of us! And it was my idea, if anyone’s going to get grounded it’s me!” She said
“No! I won’t let you!” I turned to her
“It was my idea!” She said, still looking at my parents and not turning to me
“No, I…” My mum cut me off
“No one’s going to get grounded!” My mum said and I turned around to face them “After all he saved you!”
“Thanks mum!” I whispered
“But don’t EVER bring any boy here without my permission, get it?” I nodded
“I don’t want anyone taking my daughters first kiss, and most important, not around this house!” Me and Maria started giggling low pitched
“Is everything alright with you two?” My mum asked and we tried to stop
“Yes mum!” We said in unison but started laughing right after
“You can go to your room girls!” My dad said, visibly amused
“Thanks dad!” I said, and we both walked towards my room again.
We sat on the bed. I laid on the bed, Maria kept sat looking at me. I just fixated on a random point of the white ceiling and sighed.
“Do you wanna be alone?” Maria asked
“No! You can stay here till dinner!” I smiled sweetly
**
After dinner I just stood in my room, walking back and forth, waiting for him. I sat on the bed, crossing my legs. Could he not come? Oh no, please. I need to talk to someone that’s not my sister or my best friend! I need to talk to him. I got up, brushing my legs and then started walking back and forth in the room again. I started to play with my fingers while I walked.
I sat again in the bed. This is ridiculous! Who are you and what have you done to Johanna Skyes? I need no boy, I’ll just read. Yeah, that’s right. I walked towards my shelf and grabbed a Nicholas Sparks book. I love romances and Nicholas Sparks is, in my opinion, the best novelist ever. I have all of his books so far, what can I say, it’s my addiction. We all have ours. For example, Maria’s addictions are shoes and clothes. In her room she has a walk-in closet full of clothes. She’s four years younger than me and she has more clothes than I ever had in my life. Adriana loves to draw and music so in her room she has a huge office so she can draw by herself and a huge collection of CD’s she can hear whenever she wants with the rule of not bothering anyone. Jess loves dolls and dancing. She had a huge collection of dolls she can play with anytime, she also has ballet classes once every single week. My addictions are books and food. My room isn’t much of a big deal, the best part is the balcony. It has some puffs outside and a small table with the best environment and privacy ever. I feel great in there, I feel relaxed and great. My dad’s addiction is scotch. Neat. He doesn’t drink much, but he likes to enjoy the best when he does. He also has a addiction about cigars, but again, he doesn’t exaggerate. He smokes one once and a while. My mum has and addiction about opera. She loves that type of music. Opera is to her what books are to me, our private sanctuary.
I heard a small noise coming from outside. Probably a cat or something, climbing my tree and scratching the door. I focused on the book again, ignoring the noise. I heard it again. It was like a knocking, a very low pitched knocking. I frowned and got up, walking towards the balcony. I moved the curtains that covered the windows and saw Niall. His back turned at me, ready to leave.
I grabbed the handle and turned it around, opening the door slowly. He stopped and turned around. I was hiding behind the window, only my face was visible to him. He smiled and walked in my direction. He got in and I closed the window, protecting the warm feeling of the bedroom.
“It’s so cozy in here!” He said and walked towards my bed. I looked at him, angry and rushed to close the door. I looked at Niall, my eyes widened and pressed my wrists.
“Niall…” He cut me off
“You wanted me to come, here I am!” He said and got up, walking towards me. When he got next to me his right hand connected with my left and he leaned to join his lips with my ear. “I want to hold your hand so tight my wrists would break!” My breathings stopped.
Oh shoot, I imagined right? I did, I had to have imagined it, I mean I’m not gonna even be sure he’s here till I really feel him, hands don’t count. I need to feel his scent to make sure he really is here. Who guarantees me that I’m not imagining his presence?
“What’s wrong ?” He asked
“Why do you hide?” I asked
“What do you mean?” He frowned
“Well, you’re completely the opposite of what you seem to people. Why do you hide behind your tattoos?” I asked and his tightening started to hurt my hand. I complained and he quickly letted go of me.
“Sorry! I shouldn’t have come!” He turned around to face the window. I grabbed is arm and pulled him to me, making our bodies clash. He joined his forehead with mine and breathed heavily. I wrapped my hands around his neck, making sure he would not leave me, he would just be here, with me.
He leaned his head and his lips touched mine softly. I absorbed the air brutally again and felt him licking my lower lip. I opened my mouth and he quickly slipped his tong into my mouth. His hands hugged my waist tightly and my hand pressed him more to me. As I got more and more breathless I pulled away, joining my forehead with his again.
“Stay with me!” I said and he gave me a confused smile “Sleep here!” I asked and Niall smiled, truthfully this time
“Let me guess, if I touch you in your sleep I’ll lose my hands?” Niall said and I showed him my tong. He laughed low pitched and bit his lip next, understanding by himself he made too much noise. “Do you wanna go to bed right now?”
“It’s too early don’t you think?” He frowned
“No! You have classes tomorrow, you have to rest!” He said and it was my time to frown
“When did you started caring this much?” I asked
“Since I wanted to make you mine!” I started to get red, and when I say read is tomato red.
“Sit down and wait love, you’ll get tired if you wait on your feet!” I showed him my tong again and disconnected our bodies, sitting on the bed.
“I really, really want to go to bed! Can I?” He asked and I frowned
“O-Okay!” I said and Niall smiled
“Just hurry up and come to my side okay?” I nodded
I got up and out of my room. I made sure I closed the door so it was clear no one was there. I hurried downstairs and found my family in the living room.
“Hey!” I said, supporting my body on the door’s frame and looking at them
“Hello!” They said in unison
“I’m gonna go to bed okay?” I pointed behind me with my thumb
“This early?” Adriana asked
“Yeah, I’m tired!” I smiled
“Okay sweetie! Good night!” I kissed everyone in the cheeks and got back to my room.
Niall was already laid on the bed, his chest covered with the sheets. He had his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling the exact same way I did. His eyes turned to me when I walked in. I closed the door behind me. I walked towards the left side of the bed and opened the bed. I left my Bunny slippers and got into bed. I sat, the sheets only covering my legs. I reached for the switch and turned off the light. I laid down and stood on the exact position Niall was, looking up at the ceiling without the hands in my neck.
“What are you thinking about?” Niall said, holding my waist and pulling me to him.
“I had a fight with my parents today!” I said, looking into his eyes
“Why?” I hesitated
“Because of you!” I looked down only to realize he had no shirt
“Why did you fight because of me?” He asked
“Because I brought you here without permission, but everything’s fine!” I said, blinking while looking at his chest.
His tattoos are… beautiful. I never thought I would say that about his tattoos, but they really were. The one that got my attention the most was another name tattooed on the left side of his chest, right in the place of the heart. It had wings coming out of the first and last letter. I reached the place with my hand and touched it. Niall shut his eyes closed and put a hand on top of my own.
“W-Who is he?” Niall took his hand out of mine and buried it on the sheets. I blushed, feeling stupid I asked and took my hand off his chest.
I relaxed again, burring my head in the pillow and pulled the sheets more up, hiding my face. Niall pulled them down, seeing my face again.
“Hello gorgeous!” He smiled and I blushed, pulling the sheets up again “C’mon love! Let me see your face!” He pulled the sheets down again.
“Hi!” I said shyly
“Hello!” He laughed. One of his hands caressed my cheek. I looked over at his hand and noticed he had a watch on it. It was pretty, black and big. “You like it?” I nodded “Here!” He took it off “It’s yours!” He grabbed my wrist and pulled it to him
“I don’t want it!” I said, pulling away my wrist
“But I want to give it to you!” He said and pulled my wrist again
“I don’t need anything!” I said
“I know you don’t but I want to!” He said, tying the watch around my wrist “It looks good on you!” He said and I smiled, collecting my hand to hug myself “Are you cold?” I nodded “Come here!” He pulled my hands towards him, putting them around his neck. Then he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me to him. He intertwined our legs. “Sleep, you’ll have to wake up early for school!” He kissed my forehead and with that I closed my eyes.
I rested my head in his chest and my lips softly brushing his chest too. Niall held me closer to him and with that I fell asleep.
**
Something was holding my waist tighter. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Niall. He was agitated, like he was having a nightmare or something.
“No… No… James, no!” Niall said a bit loud “No! James, I don’t have any fault no!” He opened his eyes, scared.
“Shh! Shh!” I said, caressing his hair while his head was pressed in my shoulder “Everything is going to be fine!” I calmed him down “Shh!” I hugged him tightly “Are you alright?”
“Yea!” He said, still breathless. I smooched him quickly and he smiled widely “Better!” I giggled
“Do you wanna talk?” I asked
“I just wanna know one thing!” I made him a signal for him to keep talking “What did I said?”
“Y-You said that you had no fault and you called a name!” I said
“What name?”
“James!”
Silence. A terrifying silence hit my room, my bed… my heart. Niall was quiet. It hurts me so much that he doesn’t trust me to tell me his things, his life. I buried my head in the pillow and he held my hand, making circles with his thumb.
“What do you think about getting up and get ready for school?” He asked and I smiled widely
“That’s fine!” I said, hugging him again. I felt his skin burning under my own and stepped away to look at his tattoos. I sat on bed and he kept lying, covered down the waist. I knew I couldn’t ask him whose name that was, he wouldn’t answer me anyways, but I concentrated on one tattoo in his arm.
It was the Irish flag with the real colors and everything and it had Ireland written on top. I, unconsciously, started to touch his arm where the lines of the drawing where with my index finger to make sure they really were printed on his arm. When I realized what I was doing I took my hand off his arm and looked at Niall.
“Patriotic Pride hu?” He nodded
“What can I say? I love Ireland!” I smiled widely and got up, into my Bunny flip flops. I walked around the room towards the wardrobe and took my uniform off.
“Hey, you’ll be here when I get out right?” I asked
“Go in!” He said and I nodded
I walked into the bathroom, not sure he would be here when I get out. I looked at my own reflection in the mirror. My eyes were green today, maybe it was because of the green in Niall’s tattoo or because of my sweatpants. As I took my clothes off, I realized I still had Niall’s watch in my wrist. I looked at it. It was black and big, it completely matched my skin color, and his too since he’s as pale as me. Why did he gave me this? I mean, he said he wanted to, but why? I shook my head and looked at the mirror again. My hair was a mess, like it always is.I sighed and got into my clothes, I’ll fix my hair after I get into my clothes. I decided to take my jeans today. I got into they white t-shirt, the dark blue tie and no cardigan, not today. I got into my ¾ socks and hurried to get out of the bathroom. I ran out of the bathroom, to find that Niall was still there, sat on the couch I have in my room. He laughed when he saw me.
“Ah, ah, ah! I almost fell mister!” I said, crossing my arms in front of my chest to pretend I was angry
“Oh love!” He got up “Come here!” He opened his arms and I ran in his direction, jumping to his hug. His hands tighten my waist so I couldn’t fall down and my arms were holding to his neck. His phone vibrated and he looked at it, taking one of his hands from my waist. His lips pressed against each other again and he put me down. “I have to go love!” I nodded “Don’t be sad, I’ll be waiting for you in front of your school to go pick your sisters, just to make sure that bastard doesn’t touch you again okay?” I nodded “See you later!”
He walked towards the window and I followed him. I opened it and he got out. I was about to close it when he pressed one hand in the glass, stopping me from doing so.
“What?” I frowned and he pointed at his lips “Oh, that… You’ll have to wait!” I showed him my tong and he frowned. I enjoyed that moment to close the window and leave him like that, out of my room.
“Johanna, c’mon!” He said, knocking on my window
“Forget it!” I giggled
“Okay, okay!” I could hear him snorting “See you later!” Silence.
He left. But he promised he would be waiting for me when I get out of my classes later. Will he be able to be there? I guess, if he said he would then he will be. I walked towards my wardrobe again and took my black sneakers out. I put them on and tried to figure out something to do with my hair today. Maybe I’ll braid it like Ade likes to. I don’t usually braid my hair, but I feel like it today. I walked to my bathroom and braided my hair. My face looks younger this way.
I smiled at myself and walked out of my room. I heard my sisters in the kitchen and walked towards the room. We only eat in the dining room when my parents are here in case you’re wondering.
“Good morning my gorgeous sisters!” I smiled at them
“Someone’s in a good mood today!” Adriana said, smiling
“Yeah, I woke up fine!” I shrugged, smiling at the same time.
I looked at Maria who seemed interested in my wrist. I smiled at her and she smiled back, intrigued.
“So, what do you wanna eat today?” I asked
“Can we have croissants?” Jess asked
“Sure! Let me just grab some!” I said, reaching for the cabinet. I took a bag with croissants. The filling was cream. I bet my dad picked these up today before he left. I displayed them in the table and took four glasses and a bottle full of orange juice.
We all ate and, when I finished braiding Jessica’s hair and washing my teeth, we left my house. My two younger sisters were left at school and now I’m walking with Maria. She has been closely looking at my watch for quite a while now.
“It’s Niall’s!” I said, finally answering the question she has been chewing since breakfast
“Oh…” She said “It’s pretty!”
“I like it too! But I told him I didn’t want it!” I shrugged
“But he gave it to you anyways!” She smiled
“It’s just a watch!” I said, trying to sound normal
“Yeah right!” She rolled her eyes and I giggled
We stopped in front of Maria’s school. I turned my body to her, worried. She smiled sweetly and hugged me.
“Don’t be nervous! I’ll go in by myself!” She said
“I’m not nervous because of me! I’m nervous because of you!” She started to laugh “Don’t laugh!” I said, serious
“Don’t be worried about me! He won’t touch me!” I looked at her with a ‘how do you know’ look “Because my boyfriend is bigger than him!” She giggled “Start worrying about yourself! You never do!” She shook her head negatively, reprehending me somehow
“Okay, but stay away from him okay? As far as possible!” She nodded
“Bye!” She waved and ran towards Matt who was waiting for her by the fountain. I smiled and walked towards my school, completely oblivious of anything besides my watch. I played with my wrist a couple of times before I got to my school.
**
“He gave you that?” Danny grabbed my wrist and I nodded “It’s so pretty!”
“It’s a man’s watch Danny!” I rolled my eyes
“Yeah, but it’s pretty!” I smiled “Are you his girl or something?” She let go of my wrist and looked at me, her eyes sparkling
“No!” I shook my head negatively “No! Nothing like that! It was just…” She cut me off
“Just a couple of kisses, INCLUDING your first one, sleeping two times in the same bed, a couple of punches here and there to protect you! Oh have I included the expensive watch? Yeah, you’re probably right, it’s nothing!” She rolled her eyes “And now he gives you this!” She grabbed my wrist again
“It means nothing!” I said
“Or it means something!” I rolled my eyes
“Let’s just get out of here!” I said, rushing out of the school doors, excited.
“Is someone waiting for you?” My eyes scattered the parking lot for Niall and I found him, leaned in a tree next to the parking lot, hands crossed in front of his chest, eyes glued on the school’s door and now on me.
“Maybe!” I turned my head to Danny and smiled widely
“You brought him here didn’t you?” She scattered the place too, to find Niall “You did!”
“First, I didn’t bring him, he wanted to come!” I said “Second, what’s wrong with that?” I walked towards Danny’s car. Niall wasn’t that far from there.
“It’s nothing! I’m just completely admired with you!” She smiled and I shrugged “So, we have no time to seat on the car’s hood do we?” I shook my head negatively and Danny got in.
“Drive safely ok?” She rolled her eyes and nodded
“You have such little faith in me!” She said, smiling, someone’s arms surrounded my waist and a body was pressed on mine.
“Maybe it’s because you wrecked two cars already Danny!” He said, his chin holding in my shoulder
“H-How do you know that?” I asked
“You talk in your sleep too!” He shrugged
“Oh!” I looked at Danny. She had a huge smile on her lips “Sorry love. I’ll see you later okay?” She nodded
“Bye love birds!” She started the car and drove away.
I turned around to face Niall. He hugged me again. I was able to scent the perfume coming from his neck. The people who remained in the school ground were looking at us in shock.
“What’s wrong?” Niall pulled me from his neck, his nose almost touching mine
“Nothing!” I said. I didn’t want him to know I was upset about a bunch of girls who have nothing better to do with their lives, and boyfriends and pets and stuff like that… Stuff I never had before.
“Don’t lie to me!” He said, brushing his nose on mine, making me close my eyes
“I-I….”
“I missed you!” He whispered and pressed his lips on mine. I smiled and pulled him more to me, pressing my hands in his waist. I pulled away, remembering I’m in the middle of a school full of people who would judge me, but that’s not even what upsets me the most. It’s the fact that they would judge Niall. Judging is such a stupid thing. The only person who can judge is God, humans have no right to do it.
“I missed you too!” I looked directly in his eyes, talking the truth.
“Let’s go pick your sister and avoid those looks that are making you uncomfortable okay?” I nodded and he let go of me. He held my hand and started walking down the sidewalk with me.
“You didn’t brought your car?” I asked
“No! I love to walk, so I thought it would be of no hurt if I could do it today with you!” I smiled widely and he pulled me to him, letting go of my hand to put it around my shoulders. I giggled “Better!” I blushed.
We walked like that till we got near the school ground. When we started getting closer, Niall’s body tensed and I decided to pull away, just hold his hand since he was that worried about it. We walked in the school ground. Right from the begging of the path, random eyes of random people I had never talked to before, were landed on us. Probably all of these people were present in yesterdays … agitation! I tensed upon their glazed and Niall noticed it. His eyes landed on me, worried.
We stopped next to the fountain. Niall sat me in the fountain and put himself between my legs, luckily I decided to use jeans today. His hands travelled to my neck. I looked at him, frightened.
“What are you…?” He cut me off by kissing me
“Now they all know you’re mine!” He whispered and I smiled widely
“Now look who’s here!” I heard Maria talk.
Niall moved and turned around to look at Maria. I looked at her too. She was holding hands with Matt. He quickly let go of Maria’s hand and came up to Niall. He extended and hand and Niall took it, shaking his hand.
“Hi, I’m Matt!” He said, smiling
“I’m Niall!” Niall said, smiling too
“Hi Jo!” He said and let go of Niall’s hand to wave at me. I waved back and smiled.
“Let’s go home? I’m starving!” I said
“Sure you are!” Maria said
“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked and all of them laughed
Maria said goodbye to Matt with a kiss and Niall sat next to me and held my hand. I remembered what he said yesterday in my room when we were next to the door. I didn’t even pay much attention to it in the beginning, but it was kind of… sweet.
“I want to hold your hand so tight my wrist would break!” I whispered to myself, looking at our hands. Niall rested his thumb in my chin and made me look up. He came closer, pressing his lips into mine. I instantly moved my mouth and we started a kiss right there. We heard Maria clearing her throat so we split.
“We can go home now!” Maria giggled
“Sure! Let’s go!” I said, getting up.
Niall held my hand and we walked out of the school ground with no problems at all, only a few glares upon myself. We walked in silence for a bit. Niall was thinking about something, Maria was embarrassed because she knows that me and Niall are kissing. Nothing’s like it was yesterday when she thought he was just my friend.
“Maria, I need your help with one thing!” Niall said and Maria and I frowned
“If I can help!” She said
“Can you help convince your parents to let your sister out again? I want her to know my band mates, who are actually my best friends!” He explained “I know she’s a bit shy, could you help her?” Maria nodded and smiled
“You think I can’t do it myself?” I asked
“I know you’re shy and you don’t like asking your parents stuff so if you could just take Maria’s help… I really want you to meet them!” I nodded and then snorted
“I could do it myself! I done it once!” I rolled my eyes
“Yeah, but I can tell Maria is more opened to talk to your parents than you are!” Maria smiled
“That’s true alright!” She said and I showed her my tong
When I looked to the path again, I realized we were in front of my sister’s school.
“Go in with him! I know Jess would love to see him there!” Maria said
“Just wait by the door okay! I don’t want anything to happen to you!” I said and Maria snorted
“I have kneecaps and elbows and feet! Don’t worry, I can’t protect myself!” She rolled her eyes
“It doesn’t matter! Do it, please!” I begged “You know I worry!” She snorted and nodded next
“Just go in already!” She said, a bit impatient
I rolled my eyes and walked towards the door. Before I got in I had to let go of Niall’s hand, but I kind of didn’t want to, but I had to go get my sister’s so I just let go of his hand. I opened the door and the minute I did so, Adriana and Jessica jumped on me. They hugged my legs.
“Hey you two! How did you know it was me?” I asked
“We’re the last here!” Jessica said and I smiled
“Niall!” Jessica yelled and jumped at Niall, hanging on his neck. Niall held her by her tiny waist and put her in his shoulders.
“Hello Jess!” Niall said and Jessica laughed.
“What are you doing here?” She asked
“I came with your sister!” She looked at me and I nodded, smiling.
“Hi Niall!” Adriana said, smiling
“Hi Ade!” He smiled back
“Let’s go!” I said and took them out of school.
They said hello to Maria and we started walking towards my house again. Jess was happy in Niall’s shoulders and she was laughing too. The rest of us mortals were talking about random stuff about our school day. When we got home I saw Niall’s car in front of the door. So he walked to my school from here? That boy’s crazy! Some girl could jump over him to ask for his autograph and show him her… I got sick just thinking about it!
I gave Maria the keys ad she opened the door, getting in with the other ones. Outside there was me and Niall.
“Are you coming in?” I asked, he shook his head negatively “Why?”
“I need to kill time with the boys so I can introduce you later!”
“Oh!” I said “Okay!” I shrugged and looked at him car “You walked from here till my school?”
“Yeah!” He shrugged, smiling
“You’re crazy! What if one of your fans jumped on you?” I giggled
“I would tell her I was going to see you, I would give her an autograph or something and then I would say my goodbyes!” He said, holding my waist
“You would?” I asked, getting closer to his lips
“I would!” He leaned in and pressed his lips against mine quickly, leaving several small kisses in my lips “I have to go love! I’ll send a car to pick you up at seven okay?” I nodded and he kissed my cheek, walking towards his car. Before he got in I yelled
“What should I wear?” I asked
“Just be yourself!” He shrugged and got in.
He drove away and I smiled, getting into my house. My sisters were in the kitchen, eating. As soon as I walked in, Maria smiled at me and winked. I winked back and laughed.

I was lost in my book when someone knocked on my door.
“Yes?” I said
“Jo, mom and dad are home!” Maria sang, peeking inside my room.
I smiled widely and she laughed. She ran out and I followed her. We stumbled down the stairs and found my parents looking at us with weird glazes. We both shutted up and looked at them, both with our hands behind our backs.
“Are you girls alright?” My mum asked
“Yea mum, we are alright? Just laughing!” Maria said
“Oh, if that’s all…” Maria cut her off
“No mum, Johanna needs to ask you something!” Maria said
“Johanna?” My mum said, waiting for me to talk
“C-Can I…Can I … hum… Can I go out?” I asked
I was expecting them to say no, to not let me go out and met Niall’s band mates. But I wanted to. After all they are his best friends. I closed my eyes and crossed my fingers.
“Sure you can sweetie!” My dad spoke. I opened my eyes and smiled at him. “If you’re going to be this happy just to go out, I’ll let you go every single night!” I laughed at his comment
“Are you alright sweetie?” My mum asked
“Yes why?” I frowned
“You seem different!” She said
“Different how?” I asked
“Happy!”
