We talked for what felt like hours, but couldn't have been longer then an hour and a half. It's amazing how well you think you know someone then you have a talk like this and you learn so much more. That's definitely how it was for me today with Niall. I guess when someone has been alive 20 years or so there's quite a lot to learn about them.

The drive home was filled with chatter, continuing our conversation in the café. I was dreading arriving at the house, because I knew we would then go our separate ways. Him to an interview and me home alone. I really didn't feel like venturing out to an interview so soon after the whole incident. It gave me the shivers thinking about it. But home alone wasn't much more appealing.

He pulled into the driveway and I reluctantly got out. He gave me a hug and kiss before going to change. He apologized for having to go which was sweet, but it's not like it was his fault.

I went to Louis' room to check on him. He was sound asleep and snoring softly. I let him go and headed to my room. I didn't have any plans for the rest of the evening, so hello boredom.

I sat on the bed and looked around my room. My eyes flicked over everything and landed on my guitar. I smiled and picked it up, I immedietly started strumming and felt relaxed. It was such a great way to relieve stress. I got lost in the music, playing my own and other songs.

A knock on my door startled me, making me stop midstrum. I gently set my guitar down and walked over to the door.

"Hey." I said while opening the door.

"Hi!" Niall said smiling.

"Are you going? And what about Louis?" I questioned.

"Yeah I'm leaving in five minutes, he's staying home. The interviewer knows though and said it's fine." Niall said.

I immedietly felt grateful, I wouldn't be home alone after all!

"Okay! Sounds good. I'll see you tonight have fun and good luck." I reached up on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek.

"Thanks you have fun to." He turned his head so our lips brushed.

He backed away waving and went downstairs. I sighed and went back into my room. I turned on some TV and layed there. There wasn't anything exciting on and before long i fell asleep.

I jolted awake at the sound of the door opening. I rubbed my eyes and groaned the TV was blindingly bright. I fumbled for the remote and turned it off. I looked up to see who had come in, probably Niall.

"Hey Jess. How was your evening? Sorry I didn't want to wake you up." He said taking a seat beside me on the bed.

"It's okay, well I watched something and fell asleep, so super exciting!" I said sarcastically.

"Fun." He said with a small laugh.

"Yep, how was the interview?" I asked poking his side.

"It was good, what was the poke for?"

"I don't know." I said with a shrug and laugh.

He reached over and tickled my sides I squealed and grabbed his hands to pull them away.

"Hehe you can't get away." He kept tickling me.

I flailed around and laughed so hard my eyes watered. He was now on top of me and still relentlessly tickling me. I pushed on his chest and he toppled off almost falling onto the floor.

"No!" I squealed as he stood up and leaned over me. Instead of tickling me though, he planted a soft kiss on my lips. I smiled into the kiss and pulled his head closer. He ran his down my arm and intertwined my fingers with his. He placed a gentle kiss on my jaw making goosebumps stick up on my arms.

We continued making out for a few more minutes before he placed one last kiss on my cheek and lay beside me.

"You're amazing." I said softly turning so our eyes were locked." I've never been in love like this before. I love you so much Niall." I said genuinely meaning it and feeling it in my heart. I had grown such a special wonderful connection to him over these weeks.

"I love you more, and you are just so beautiful. Everytime I see you, you take my breath away. Jess you mean the world to me." He whispered and I could tell from his eyes he was as genuine as I was.

I smiled for once instead of crying when he said he loved me.

"Thank you for making me happy." My smile was so big it hurt my cheekbones, but I didn't care at all. If this was what being in love was like I never wanted to let that go.

"Your welcome. Thank you for smiling."

It was such a silly thing to say, but it meant so much. I was glad I could smile again. Sure I still had bad things happen to me in the past. And there's no way I could ever forget them, but I didn't have to let those things rule my life. I was wrong, so wrong when I said scars don't fade, they might not disappear but  I'm living proof.

Scars do fade.
