Put A Little Love On Me ~N.H~ *Completed*

Aliyah

Living in LA seems like a whole new world to me now.

I used to associate this city with bad times and all negative emotions.

For example, my ex.

When I moved out here, I met him and we started dating a month later. We, later on, moved into an apartment together. That's where everything started for me. 

I started hating living here.

I started to think I had to find a new passion in my life.

I felt like I needed to listen to what he always said to me all the time.

'Stop playing the piano all the time'

'You're not a good actress'

'Stop trying to be in more shows and movies'

'Stop booking more projects'

'You need to spend more time with me'

At this point in my life, I can't believe I ever listened to what he had to say. I can't believe that I stayed with him after the first comment he made.

I guess I thought that was normal. 

But I know now that it wasn't. It wasn't at all. It never was.

Ever since he showed up here without my knowledge, I have wanted to get out of this house. 

I feel the need to move and move far.

Not that I want to, but because I need to. 

I need to know that he doesn't know where I am.

I used to love this house so much, but now I don't feel safe here. 

And all because of him.

But now, I don't think of it as a bad place.

I know that there are good people here. I know not everyone is like him. I know that only a fraction of people is like him.

Niall isn't.

Not even the smallest bone in his body is like him.

And I'm very glad that I figured that out.

If I didn't, I wouldn't have him in my life right now.

He probably would've cut me out. Forgotten about me. Done whatever he could to make it seem like we've never even met.

But now we're together.

Because I finally got the guts to tell him how I felt.

To tell him the truth.

And he did the same.

I can now say that I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. And Niall is to thank for that. 

Although my parents, my brothers, and even some of my closest friends have made me happy, Niall is the one that has made me feel the best.

He made me realize that I have someone that actually cares. He knows what this kind of life is like. He knows how hard it is to have friends with this kind of lifestyle. 

And I love him for that.

I can finally admit that I love him.

And I will say it a million times over again if I had to.

Because I'm not scared of having people know anymore. 

I'm finally comfortable enough to let my emotions be seen. 

I can love someone freely and not have the slightest doubt in my mind that I am being judged for it. 

"What are you thinking about darlin?" I was snapped out of my thoughts.

I looked up and saw Niall leaning on the front door.

I instantly smiled. "Nothing important,"

"Are you sure about that?" He asked while walking closer to me.

"I'm sure," I said as I got up to hug him. "I missed you,"

He kissed the top of my head before saying, "I missed you. What are you doing today?"

"I have nothing planned," I answered.

"You wanna go on a hike with me?"

"I don't do physical exercise," I stated.

"I guess I'll have to to all alone," he frowned as he played along.

"I'll go get ready," I smiled at him before racing up the steps.

This is another thing.

I would never go out and do something like this.

Anything physical like going on a hike is something I would never do in my life.

I mean, maybe I would with Bryce or something, but never with anybody else.

Niall is just another exception.

A great one at that.

He makes me go out of my comfort zone and has me trying new things.

There is only one thing I will never try though. Seafood. Absolutely disgusts me.

Never in a million years will I try that.

Not even for him.

But now here I am, in the car on the way to wherever you go to hike.

Who even does this? And for fun?

"I can't believe you're making me do this," I groaned as I got out of the car.

"It'll be fun," he said back.

"For who? Not me," 

"If you don't have a good time, then we can go do something that you want to do, I won't complain,"

"So I'm complaining now?" 

"Little bit," he teased.

"Alright, I'll just be quiet now," 

"You can't be quiet for more than five minutes,"

"I can very well try my best," 

Just then my phone vibrated in my pocket.

I grabbed it out and saw that I had a new message from an unknown number.

That's weird.

'Don't get too comfortable.'

"Ni?" I asked getting his attention. "Do you know this number?"

"I don't, why?"

"I just got this text and don't know who it is, I was hoping you would,"

"Probably a wrong number or something, ignore it,"

I deleted the text and number itself and decided to just forget about it.

It can't be anything, right?
