Chapter 27: tired
I couldn't sleep that night. It was my first night alone since Scott hurt me. I felt sleepy but I couldn't sleep. I would close my eyes and start to sleep but then something would move and jerk me back to reality. It was a long night but the next day came. Niall came to my room and helped me get ready for the day. At breakfast I fell asleep on my bowl of cereal.
"Taylor, are you ok?" asked Louis I nodded. We played the wii all day! It was a lot of fun but I had to keep myself from falling asleep. Before I knew it, it was night time and I was in my bed again. I stayed up most of the night. I was too tired and fell asleep somewhere around 5 in the morning. I could hear someone coming in my door so I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. It was Niall.
"Baby, its time to wake up." he said ever so softly in my ear. I opened my eyes and immediately regretted it. Niall's face went from soft and cute to surprised.
"What's wrong?" I asked. When he didn't answer I slapped his arm and asked him again.
"Hey! It's too early for hitting. Ok. It just looks like your tired and haven't gotten much sleep." I just starred at him. "Have you been sleeping well?" he asked. I mumbled no.
"You should have told me. Oh well, hey I got to do some stuff but the guys will be here. Let me help you out of bed." he carried me off the bed and placed me in my chair.
"How are you today?" he asked. I winced as he changed one of my bandages.
"Sorry." he said. I started to cry. I don't know why.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." he said. I cried even more and I could see a mix of confusion and a little relief on his face.
"Its just----- you guys have been so nice---- to me---- and I don't know why---- and I can't repay you----- and I'm sorry----- I don't deserve all of you----- or your help----- I'm sorry." I said in between sobs. He started crying too. I looked at him telepathically asking him to explain.
"How could you think that? I stay up at night thinking how I could help there and be there for you. I just want to make you happy." he said. I sobbed even harder
"These are happy tears. Don't worry." I said. We dried our faces and he took me out of the room.
"I have to leave now. Sorry. Harry left to go get food and will be back soon. I don't know where the other guys are but I'm sure you'll see them soon." He set me up on the couch with my phone and a computer and a Harry Potter movie and then left.
