Billies POV
Niahs mom and dad started fighting. I looked over to Niah, she was looking at me with sad eyes.
"You okay baby?" I said while placing my hands on her hips.
"Yea I'm good. Cmon" she said to me as she grabbed my hand.
She pulled me into the bathroom connected to our room.
I sat on the counter as she grabbed alcohol wipes.
"Baby I'm fine I don't need them. My hands have looked worse, plus it's mostly his blood." I said as I hopped off the counter so I could wash my hands.
"Billie." Niah said as I was washing my hands.
"Yes?" I answered.
"W-When you said you loved me out there um well did you mean like in a friend way or like you are ACTUALLY in love with me?" 
I looked up at her through the mirror. I turned off the water and dried my hands before answering.
"Both." I said to her while looking into her eyes.
"I do love you, and honestly really want to be your girlfriend. But I also know you want to take it slow." I explained.
"And I'll wait for you. Till or if you ever feel the same way." I said before giving her quick peck and walking back into the room to pack my bag.
The rest of the day we didn't really talk to each other. When I drove us back home we just listened to music the whole way instead of talking.
I think I did too much by telling her I loved her. But I couldn't and honestly didn't want to hold it in anymore.
It also really hurt when she didn't say anything. I get that she didn't know how she felt about me yet. 
But ghosting me for 2 years?
