~Dark Niall~ Chapter twenty-three

We all ended up getting back into Harry’s car. I could tell Greg wanted to find Niall just as much as I did. Greg says Alan still thinks he’s with his side so he knows if Niall is with him or not. Which he’s not at the moment, thank god. I figure I should call Becca and tell her not to come home. It’s not safe. I dial her number and she answers right away. 

“Hello?” 

“Becca it’s me.” 

“Lillie, hey, what’s going on?” 

“Listen I can’t explain right now but do not come back to the house, it’s not safe. Stay at your parents. Please.” 

“Wait, what?! Lillie what’s going on are you okay?” 

“I-I’m fine. Please, don’t come home until I say okay.” 

Before she can reply I hang up. I could drag her I to this. Becca didn’t need that. 

“H-Harry can you please turn back around to the motel.” I ask after a minute. 

He looks at me confused but does as I ask. We go back to the motel and as soon as we stop I’m making a run for the woods behind it. The boys all followed me and they seemed to realize why I wanted to come back as soon as they see his body. Will’s body. I-I just had to see. I had to. 

I can’t stop the tears from coming as I kneel down by him. 

“Thank you.” I whisper. 

I sit there for beat then get up and go back to the car without saying another word to Anyone. 

Then it was just like we never stopped after we took off again. We all agree to go back to Niall’s house first. Harry and Louis instead that they come and help find Niall. I finally let after I made them promise that as soon as we found Niall that they would leave. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy them or anything but I jut didn’t want them getting hurt. They seemed like nice guys. 

“Lillie, after you find Niall what do u plan on doing? Alan’s a psycho, he’s not gonna stop looking for you.” Greg says keeping his eyes on the road. Harry let him drive. 

“I-I don’t know to be honest. Probably hide for a while. Stay low. ” he nods and sighs. 

“I’m sorry about Will. I know he helped you a lot.” I sigh now. 

“Thanks. And thank you for helping me. What made you have a change of heart?” 

“The way Niall is towards you.” He chuckles slightly. “That kid didn’t care about anything until he might you. You effected him in ways I don’t think you even know. In good ways. The only other woman in his life he wouldn’t to protect more then anything was our mom. That’s why it hurt him so much when they kicked him out. I suppose that’s my fault though. Hell this whole situation is probably my fault. I just though Niall wanted to nail you and then that was it. That’s always how he’s lived. But like I said. He you changed him. And I didn’t catch on at first. So, I’m sorry.” 

It took me a minute to process what he said. Greg just said sorry? The same Greg who slapped me, asked me to have sex with him and harassed me is saying sorry? I couldn’t believe it. 

Then again I could say the same thing about Niall. He’s changed. I remember when he locked me in his house, or stalked me at the club. But I can also remember when he started to soften. 

The first time he was gently with me, the first time we did it, that night we went skinning dipping. 

Niall changed. Why couldn’t Greg? I finally sigh and nod.
