Omg!! Guys 15k!! Thanks so freaking much!! Love you all!!!

We traveled the rest of the way home in silence, except for the blare of the radio. He kept his hand there for the rest of the way. It was comforting. He pulled his hand away and immediately my hand felt colder.

"Let's go." He said getting out.

He came around and opened my door before I could.

"Thanks." I said as I got out. We walked to the house hand in hand.

None of the other cars were here yet so for the moment it was quiet. As we went inside I told Niall I wanted to talk to him about something.

"Okay my room fine?" He asked shutting the door.

"Yeah that'll be fine."

"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" He asked with a big smile once we had gotten inside his room.

"I know you don't want me to shut you out of my feelings." I started biting my lip with nervousness." Well at the restaurant I was feeling really self-conscious that's why I went to the bathroom. I just sat there and cried for a few minutes."

"Jess, thanks for telling me and I know I can't make you be less self-conscious, but I hope knowing you can talk to me helps."

"Thanks." I said with a little smile, I was glad he didn't push me to be confident.

"Now what about we watch a movie or something?" He asked with a grin.

"Sure."

We watched a comedy, and had a good time. In the middle of the movie he went down and got us some popcorn. It was nice and relaxing.

"That was fun." I said with a smile as he turned off the TV.

"Yeah it was." Niall said also smiling.

"I think I'm going to head to bed." I said with a yawn it was getting pretty late.

"Okay sleep tight Jess."

"Same to you." I leaned over and gave him a little kiss.

He smiled as I pulled away and winked. I giggled and gave him a little wave before going over to my room.

I got changed and flopped on the bed. I was so happy truly happy for once, and it felt amazing. I dozed off thinking of Niall and his sweetness.

I woke up screaming and tangled in the sheets I was sobbing uncontrollably. I had another nightmare of Jason. I was trembling so bad I couldn't untangle myself. I took a shaky breath and managed to get the sheets off. I curled myself into a ball tears still running down my face. It was dumb what a dream could make you feel. I felt so scared and alone in that moment.

"Jess are you all right?" I heard someone whisper from outside my door.

I managed a shaky no and I looked up and saw Niall coming in.

"A nightmare?" He asked as he came over and hugged me to his chest.

I nodded still shaken. I wrapped my arms around him tightly relishing the comfort it provided me.

"Hey it's okay I'm here." He said softly.

"Can you stay?" I asked I felt so unsafe.

"Of course."

I realized I was still hugging him like it was the end of the world, and I pulled away embarrassed.

"You good?" He asked smiling.

I nodded and layed down. He got up and retrieved my sheets from the floor. He climbed in next to me and layed the sheets over both of us.

"Good night." He said leaning over and kissing my forehead.

"Night." I said in a small voice.

I lay awake for a while listening to Niall's soft steady breathing. It eventually lulled me to sleep.

----------

I woke up with a headache I tentatively looked over to see if Niall was still sleeping. I jumped he wasn't there. I sat up and looked around frantically. Where was he. I felt scared all over again.

I sat on my bed trying not to freak out. I looked around once more and groaned when my head started pounding. I got up slowly knowing doing anything fast would make my headache worse.

I stumbled over to his room and sank to the floor in front of his door. I was dizzy and my mouth had suddenly gone dry. I massaged my temples and blinked trying to clear the fogginess. I stood up grabbing onto the door knob to help me and knocked weekly on his door.

"Come in."

I walked in slowly trying to make sense of the swimming colors before me. I shook my head gently and everything cleared up for the time being.

"Hey." I managed to croak out. I sat beside him on the bed.

"Are you okay? You don't look the best."

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I said brushing him off.

"Okay, sorry for not being there when you woke up. I came over to get dressed." He said and I looked at him and realized he was in his clothes.

"Oh thats fine." I managed to say.

"You want to go out for ice cream or lunch today?"

"Yes that would be really nice." I said it would be and hopefully whatever the hell was going on was done by then.

"Okay sounds good what about we leave around 11:00?"

"Sounds good." I mumbled pressing my eyes shut to realeve the pain behind them.

"I'm going to get some breakfast going." Niall said moving around his room and cleaning up a few things.

"Okay I'll go get dressed." I got up and managed to walk to my room without stumbling. I collapsed on my bed with a sigh. I would probably stay in my room until we went. I didn't want to not go because I want feeling the best. It would probably is over soon anyway.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew someone was gently shaking my shoulder. I groaned and opened my eyes. The world wasn't spinning so that was good. Louis was standing beside the bed a smirk on his face.

"Good morning breakfast is ready." He said with a laugh.

I looked at him puzzled wondering why he was laughing and realized I was wet. My shirt was soaked as was my bed.

"You little-" I started sitting up glaring at him.

"AHHH YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!" He yelled running out of the room.

I sighed and peeled off my wet shirt. I changed my bra which was also wet and threw on a dry shirt. My head still hurt but it was less pounding and more of a dull ache. I tossed my stuff in the hamper along with my sheets. I would have to throw them in the dryer later.

I changed my pants into a pair of jeans and slipped on a pair of fuzzy socks. I went downstairs steadying myself once against the wall when a wave of dizziness hit.

"Hey Niall have you seen Louis?" I asked Niall who was sitting at the table eating.

"Yeah he ran into the living room." He mumbled around a mouthful.

"Thanks." I said with a smile. I had to do something for revenge. I filled a glass of water and quietly walked into the living room. Louis was sitting on the couch eating. I snuck up behind him without him noticing.

"Surprise!" I said and dumped the glass on his head.

"AHH!" He screamed holding his plate up as water dripped off of it." You ruined my food!" He fake sobbed.

"Oh sorry did I?" I asked sarcastically." It's only revenge darling." I patted him on the shoulder and sauntered out. His yelling had not helped my headache and it was hurting a little more.

I walked over to the cupboard where the kept the medicine and got a pill out. I swallowed it with some water and took a seat beside Niall.

"Something bothering you?" He asked referring to me taking a pill.

"Just a little headache nothing to worry about." I said with a smile. Okay big lie it was more then a little headache, but I didn't want to ruin our date today it was nothing I couldn't handle.

"Okay we don't have to go if you don't want." He offered.

"Nah it's fine I'm good." I said forcing a smile.

"Okay." He said although he looked as if he didn't believe me.

I got up and poured myself a bowl of cereal and milk. I didn't feel like eating whatever Niall had made.

"I made something." He said gesturing to the pan.

"I'm not in the mood." I said." I'm sure it's delicious though." I quickly added not wanting to make him feel bad.

He shrugged and continued eating. Man could he pack down some serious food. Where did he put it all, he was skinny as a stick. I sat down beside Niall, and ate my breakfast.

"What did you do to Louis?" Niall asked.

"I may have poured water on him." I said with a shrug.

"Oh my gosh that's to funny. Revenge?"

"After I talked with you I fell back asleep and when I woke up I was soaked."

"Oh okay only fair I see." He said with a grin.

"Exactly." I said smiling.

"Oh for lunch wear something a little fancy."

"Okay." I would probably wear a dress or something. Definitely not heels with how I was feeling now. I glanced at the time it was 10:00 so I decided I would start getting ready after I ate. I still had to take a shower so I would probably finish up right around 11:00.

I rinsed out my bowl after I was done and set it on the counter. Niall was somehow still eating. I rolled my eyes as him as I went by. Bad idea rolling my eyes made behind my eyes hurt more.

I managed to get showered, get dressed and do my hair and makeup without to much trouble. I was wearing a light blue knee length dress with my black flats. I had curled my hair and pinned up a few pieces.

I felt better then earlier, but definitely not back to normal. I walked over to Niall's room, seeing nobody I went downstairs. He was reading a book on the couch. Which was weird Niall never read books.

"Hey." I said softly.

He looked at me and went wide eyed. He stood up stood in front of me. He looked nice he was wearing a button up shirt with a tie and a pair of dress pants.

"Hey you look great." He said fiddling with his hands.

"Thanks so do you." I blushed at his compliment.

"Well ready to go?" He asked snapping out of his daze.

"Yes." He came over and looped his arm through mine making me giggle. There was still a slight pounding and I was a little dizzy, but being with him made me forget about it.

We walked out arm in arm to his car. He opened the door and I got in thanking him. He got in his side and started it up.

"One question." I started." How did you get all the boys to not be loud?" It was surprising how I hadn't seen anyone on my way out.

"Oh, I may have told them to stay in there rooms for a bit." Niall said grinning.

"And they listening? Wow I'm amazed." I clapped with a grin on my face.

He just smirked and turned up the radio. We jammed along to a few songs on the way there. It only took a few minutes to get there. We pulled up in front of a restaurant I'd never been to before. I couldn't tell for sure, but it looked like one of those super expensive, reservation only restaurants

"Let's go love." He said taking my hand and helping me out.

I stumbled the world swimming as I stood up. He caught me and steadied me.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah i just tripped over my own feet." I added a laugh to make it seem more realistic.

"Okay come on clumsy." He chuckled as he led me in.

Ha, I was right. He went in and asked for reservations under Niall Horns for two. The host led us to a table in the back. It had a lantern above it that gave it a soft romantic look. The waiter left.

I groaned as a sharp pain stabbed through my skull. The pain made the world go fuzzy for a moment, and I grasped the edge of the table to steady myself.

"Woah." Niall said standing up and grabbing onto my waist. He had a worried look in his face.

"I'm okay." I said with a lazy smile. The last thing I saw was Niall's face close to mine before everything faded to black.
