"Relax your arm for me" a paramedic instructed me as he checked my pulse. I was sitting in the ambulance only feet from my crushed car. A knock came from the ambulance door before Niall came in. Fear had stricken his pale face

"Rose!" He rushed over to me, crushing me in his arms. My arms were sore from the accident but I managed to hug him back, assuring him I was okay.

"You have a few scratches but other than that your perfectly fine. All I can say is it was a miracle you survived that accident" he picked up a clipboard, "You're a very lucky girl" he smiled.

"Can we have a minute?" Niall asked. The paramedic looked between Niall and I before walking out into the night street. "I'm starting to think you should take the bus from now on" he said.

I rolled my eyes, "it wasn't my fault, if it weren't for his ignorance I would have-"

"Hold on, him?" Niall caught on. If I told him Harry was in the car at the time, he's for sure play twenty questions.

"I said my ignorance" I covered up quickly.

"No, you said his. Who was in the car with you?" Niall locked his eyes on mine.

"No one" I lied. His eyes began turning a yellow gold, something I learned werewolves did when they were trying to read your mind.

Don't you dare read my mind, I thought.

His eyes returned to their transparent blue. "I wouldn't have to if you would just tell me the truth!" He exploded.

I moved back a little, surprised by his sudden outburst. "I-" I couldn't find the words to explain to him. I couldn't even the words to explain to myself why I was covering up for Harry. What kind of person would leave someone like that? And yet I was keeping it from Niall. "I don't want to lie to you, I really don't"

"Then why?" His voice turned soft as he grabbed my scratched up hands. The truth was, I was afraid of Harry. Terrified of Harry. He'd grown into a fearful person. I had only realized now that Harry wasn't afraid to keep my mouth shut. Even if I had Niall and the lads to protect me, I didn't want to risk them getting hurt either.

"There is something big out there, something that can't be stopped. This isn't your fight so please, don't do this to me" I said. Niall let my hands fall to my lap, disgust in his eyes. I was hurting everyone I loved for someone I feared. "Can you trust me?"

He stepped back, "How can I trust someone I don't even know anymore?" he said, walking towards the door of the ambulance.

"Niall, don't shut me out again. I need you" I stood up, tears blurring my eyes. Niall turned around, sorrow on his face. He wiped my wet eyes with his thumb, leaning in. He kissed my trembling lips. I could feel him holding back with pain.

"I'm sorry" and with those words, he walked out into the night.

I curled my fists until my knuckles turned white. "I'll kill you Harry Styles".
