Chapter 13

Alex's POV

Who does she think she is?

Coming up to me while I was on a date and acting like we have a close mother daughter relationship.

No, she was terrible. Absolutely terrible when she was around. She always made me feel bad about myself. Drinking was the worst part. 

But this information is something I will keep bottled up for the rest of my life. People would judge if they found out I had a mother like and they would pity me. I'm not some charity case.

As the past events flood my mind I just break down right in front of Niall. Not caring what I look like. Nobody was there for me when she was around. I didn't even tell my best friends.

" Alex, calm down. It's okay" Niall says trying to calm me down

" No it's not okay! Who does she think she is? Coming into my life all of a sudden? After all that she put me through" I say while Niall pulls up in his driveway

I don't know why we're at his house but that's okay.

" I heard what she said. She hasn't seen you since you were 13?" he says with wide eys

" You heard correctly" I say sobbing more

I need some fresh air so I get out of the car. Crying and being in a small area is not something that I'm fond of.

As soon as I get out of the car I just stand there crying. I bet I look like an idiot. Just crying because of her mother. 

I just can't help it.

The astonishment.

The flashbacks.

Before I know it I feel Niall's arms around me hugging me.

" Baby" he whispers in my ear

" You don't understand Niall!" I slightly yell pushing back

" Then make me understand" he says coming closer to me

I fall into his chest crying.

" I can't" I say, my voice being hoarse

" Yes you can" he says 

I just cry

" C'mon babe, lets get you inside" Niall says letting go but puts an arm around my waist

I've quit crying but my voice is hoarse. 

" You can stay here tonight. My parents went to some city that's like 45 minutes away from here and are spending the night there tonight" Niall informs me

" Thanks" I say 

Soon Niall comes up to me with a t-shirt and sweat pants.

" I hate to see you cry. It's unbearable" he says 

i just stand there looking at the floor.

" I'm serious" he says lifting my chin

We stand there in silence for a moment before he pulls to hug me.

" You'll tell me one day, won't you?" he asks

He won't give up will he?

" Maybe.." I trail off

I really like Niall. But what if I tell him and he looks at me not the same. 

" What do I tell my dad about not coming home tonight?"  I ask

" Just say your spending the night at a friend's house" Niall says stroking my cheek with his thumb

" Okay" I say

Me;

I'm spending the night at Keirstyn's tonight. We've been studying for the world history test.

Dad:

Alright, have fun.

" I just texted him"  I say

" Good, now lets go to bed"  he says

" I need to change" I say

" I'll see you in bed" he says kissing my forehead 

Niall's POV

She's so broken.

Her sobbing in front of me is unbearable.

She's so broken because of her mom.

I don't know what her mom did but that just makes me angry.

As Alex comes out of the bathroom all I see is a perfect face when messed up makeup and puffy eyes.

Yet she still looks like an angel.

She's so sad. I think her seeing her mom took a big toll on her.

As she climbs into bed I wrap my arm around her waist and neither one of us question us sleeping in the same bed.

Yet I think she needs me..

As much as I need her..
