#74 - Someone Breaks Into Your House When He's Not There But You Are (Niall)

Someone Breaks Into Your House When He's Not There But You Are (Niall)

It's the middle of the night and your boyfriend Niall was currently on tour. It had only been a few days but you had already fallen into your routine. It was just something to take your mind off Niall not being there. Although, tonight you wouldn't be alone for long. The bright red numbers read 3:37am when the sound of your security alarm woke you up. You immediately began to panic, knowing it wasn't a false alarm because of the footsteps downstairs.

Immediately, without another thought, you unplugged your iPhone from it's charger and slipped under the bed. It was just high enough for you to hide under. As quickly as possible, you dialed the emergency number.

"Emergency services, are you in need of fire, police or medical?" the man's voice said in a monotone.

"I need the police," you whimpered as things were being moved around downstairs. "There's people in my house." You were even more scared because Niall wasn't there with you. You were on your own.

"Okay, your call is being traced. Now can you tell how many people are there?" he asked.

"No... no I just heard the alarm and then I called." You were crying harder now and your words were barely audible.

"Ma'am, I need you to calm down. Units have been sent. Just stay on the line with me." Even though his voice was pretty emotionless, it seemed to keep you calm. It almost reminded you of your dad's voice. "Now, I'm guessing, since you haven't seen them, you can't tell if they're armed at all."

"No, I don't... please hurry!" you squeaked.

"Love, they're wanting to know where you are in the house," he asked, his professional side letting go a little.

"Who?" you whispered shakily.

"The officers. They're only a couple minutes away hun, but they just need to know," he replied, his voice becoming more and more soothing.

"I-I'm under the bed... in the first bedroom." Your voice was shaking but you were doing your best to keep calm.

"Is there anyone else with you?"

"No... it's just me... please are they here?" you asked, the tears beginning to fall again.

"Yes, they're there... I just need you to stay on the line with me until they reach you," he explained.

You had been so absorbed in his fatherly voice, that you didn't hear the footsteps walk into your bedroom.

The deep voice scared you and you jumped, hitting your head on the bed. "Is anyone in here?" You were quiet, fearing it was one of the intruders. The operators relaxing voice spoke up.

"Love that's an officer, you're okay... I'm going to hang up now okay?"

"Okay... thank you so much.... Could I maybe get your name?" you asked shyly.

You stood up and came face to face with a scruffy looking officer. "Well normally I don't but, I'll make an acception. My name is George Rylands."

"Well, thank you George... I can't thank you enough." The two of you said your goodbyes and you hung up. Your body was shaking but you were okay. You just wanted this to be over so you could call Niall.

You walked downstairs where the police lights flashed through your windows. The one officer who had found you in your room led you out front where three teenage boys were being loaded into the car. You hadn't noticed the TV was broken and a few more electronics were smashed on the ground. A couple men in uniform came up and asked a few questions. Finally, the scene was cleared and you thank everyone, going back into your warm house. You flicked on the lights and began cleaning up the mess, calling Niall shortly after. Unfortunately, you were unable to hold back your tears when you heard his voice.

"Hello (Y/N)! Everything okay? Isn't it late there?"

"N-Niall?" you said, your voice hoarse.

"Hun, what happened? Is everything okay?" he asked, his voice getting worried.

"Some people broke in tonight... I was so scared... all our stuff is broken," you cried.

"What do you mean?!" he asked urgently.

"Our alarm went off and these teenagers came in and tried to take all our stuff. I'm so sorry Niall, so many things are broken!" You looked around at the mess you were in the process of cleaning.

"But you're okay? Right? They didn't hurt you?"

"No, they never found me Ni..." He let out a sigh of relief.

"As long as you're okay, I don't care about our stuff, we can get new ones. Just... I think I need to come home (Y/N). No buts." As much as you hated the idea of him leaving his work, you really didn't want to be alone.

"Okay Niall..." you sighed.

"Okay princess... I'm booking a flight right now okay? I'll be home soon. Try and get a little sleep," he cooed over the phone.

"I love you Niall... I'll see you soon," you spoke softly.

"I love you too princess. See you soon." He hung up and you were left with your own thoughts.

After the majority of the mess was cleaned up, you shut off the lights, double checked the locks and snuggled up with Niall's hoodie, falling asleep with the knowledge that he would be home soon.
