Love at first sight

Chapter 13: They don't know about us

Lex's P.O.V.

While grabbed some things he needed from his flat to stay a few nights with me, I just sat on his couch admiring the pitures of what seemed to be his mother, his father, and his brother at a wedding kind of thing. He looked really happy and handsome. I played with the hem of my shirt just fiddling with it. My mind started to wander to my family. I really miss them and a pang of guilt filled my stomach as I thought about if they were okay. I laid down just resting since I had had a few long days which for most of the time I was unconcious. I started to drift into a blissful sleep, slowly closing my eyes. 

Niall's P.O.V.

It felt almost too quiet in my desolate house. I was only worried because I didn't hear any noise at all. I began walking slowly towards the living room where I find the most angelic human being in a deep sleep. I felt bad becasue the couch wasn't nearly comfortable. I had slept on it before and always woke upwith a stiff neck. I walked over to the limp body and gently put my arm behind her back and put the other one underneath her legs. She didn't wake at my movements she just cuddled into me. I walked slowly down the hall to my destination. Once inside my room, i peeled the covers to my bed back so I could place Lex under the sheets comfortably. I laid her down gently and pulled the covers up so that she wasn't cold. She looked so peaceful and happy in her deep unconcious state.

I so badly wanted to get in the bed with her but decided to get my stuff that I needed all together so that whenever she wanted to leave, I would be ready to go. I made a mental list checking things off.

-toothbrush

-deodorant 

-cologne 

-clothes

-gel

-underwear

-phone charger

After I had finished getting everything I needed, I walked over to the bed and slipped in with Alex. I protectively wrapped my arms around her waist as I tangled my feet with hers gently and brought her body closer to mine. The heat radiating off of her body was calming. I listened to her slow breathing and relaxed knowing she was safe in my arms. I started to fall into the depths of darkness that invited me.

I had only slept for an hour when I jumped awake from the sound of thunder. I looked out of my window and saw that the sky was concealed with dark, haunting clouds as droplets of rain invaded the air. Luckily, I didn't wake Lexi up. I looked at her wrists and remembered our short conversation about her scars in the hospital but she never really did tell me why she did that to herself. Without hesitation, I gently brought her forearm that was marked with ragged marks and started kissing them. I also started tracing the cuts with the tips of my fingers trying to be soft and gentle. As I held this beautiful girl in my arms, I realized that I was missing her all along and that I wouldn't be the same without her. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard her sniff, indicating that she was crying. I dropped my eyes to meet her watery blue eyes. They didn't look like they were sad but more like they were happy and joyful tears. 

"What's wrong?" I asked her curiouly trying to figure out if i had done something wrong.

"Its just- I mean- I - No o-one has ever made me feel so loved, and no o-one has ever k-kissed my s-s-scars." she said with this hopeful tone in her voice.

I tilted her chin up so that our lips could meet, but before kissing her I let my lips brush against her as I whispered, "I Love You, I love you so much, Your scars are beautiful and that's why I kissed them. I want to always remember that you are still here and didn't give up on life or family or school. You are the reason I look forward to waking up because I know you'll be right there beside me. Without you I'm nothing, I love you Forever and always." She gasped at the last few words that left my mouth and that's when I knew I would do anything to make her happy. I used my thumb to wipe the fallen tears that rested on her cheeks.
