Poppys P.O.V

I sobbed as I saw Niles eyes widen with disbelief "I've been at the hospital all night arranging the funeral because my dad was to drunk too. I finally got home and got into bed when you text me saying "babe come round for a bit later" so I do to distract myself, but you just sat there on the Xbox not even noticing how sad and tired I was. As normal!" I cried getting angrier and angrier. Not meaning to. I sobbed louder and louder to the point where I could barely breath.

I want my mum back. We won't survive without her. She was a doctor and mad all of our money! My dads a shit father, he'll just drink himself to death then my sister and I will have no one. I've gone through enough and my mum's deaths just made it worst. Why did she have to die?

More sobs came out and the tears wouldn't stop.

"Poppy of course I noticed there was something wrong. I wouldn't be your boyfriend if I didn't" he held me at arms length for a second, looking into my eyes, then pulled me back tightly against him. "Poppy you have to tell me this stuff though. Otherwise I can't help you" he paused "do you want me to take you home so you can get some sleep?" I shook my head and snuggled tighter against him "not even if I stay with you?" I shook my head again.

"Babe you need to get some sleep you're exhausted" Nile said wiping my tears away with his thumb.

I didn't want to go to sleep. I wanted something, anything to make this nightmare go away.

"Come back to mine then your going to sleep in my bed and I'll watch over you," he said warmly. Taking my hand in his.

"Is that alright?" I sniffed not wanting to be rude

"Yeah if your not going back to your house, your sleeping round mine" he winked as we started walking back towards his house.

"You look beautiful today," Nile whispered in my ear. I think he was trying to cheer me up because I obviously looked a mess. But I wasn't in the mood for arguing with him though. I looked down at myself. I was only wearing skinny jeans with a black vest top, high top black converses, no make up and my long brown wavy hair was flowing freely in the wind. There was nothing special about me. I looked up at Nile his face was flawless as normal. He had a grey beanie on his head with his shaggy golden hair poking out the bottom, his dazzling green eyes where sparkly and beautiful and his broad shoulders continued the perfection. He was wearing slouchy jeans, and a grey t-shirt, navy blue zip up hoodie with white converses.

"Thank you" I replied wiping the tears away from my eyes with the palm of my hand and tried to give a little smile.

Nile squeezed me hand "anytime beautiful" he whispered

By the time we got to Nile's road my eyes where beginning to flutter and I thought I could collapse any second. As we walked up the road I was leaning on Nile for support. I think he was considering carrying me but I think he thought it would look a bit weird if he was walking down the street carrying his unconscious girlfriend. People would probable think he'd done something to me. When we reached his house, he finally did scoop me up in his arms and carried me upstairs. He placed me under the covers in his bed, and then he climbed in next to me. He held me in his arms close to him. And I buried my head in his chest.

"Sleep, I'll be right hear when you wake up I promise" he gently kissed the top of my head, then I was fast asleep, getting the sleep I craved.
