Memories

Chapter 33

*Niall's POV*

"Stephanie, watch out!" I yelled as I thought I saw something coming at us. We were trying to exit the haunted hospital.

Believe it or not, this place was terrifying. The fact that this hospital was shutdown years ago because of paranormal activities going on made it worse. There were no workers inside and the only way to leave was on your hands.

"Shit! I c-can't see anything!" Stephanie yelled, her voice shaky.

I grabbed her hand, "Let's go through here." We turned a right and saw nothing but darkness and a white figure in a corner.

"Hell No!" She pulled me out of the room and started running, "This way!"

We kept running towards a door that had an exit sign, we finally reached it and found ourselves outside.

"God, that was so scary!" She said sitting down on the cement floor and wiping her eyes.

"Are you crying?" I laughed out, panting a bit.

She smiled, "Shut up, lets go... I'm terrified," she stood up and we walked to her car.

After a few minutes of driving we finally got home at around 10pm.

"I still have goosebumps," Stephanie said while entering the flat.

I laughed, "Just go to sleep, you'll be fine," I put my hands on her shoulders from behind and gave her a small squeeze, dropping my arms to my sides afterwards.

She sighed and dragged her feet up the stairs, closing her room door when she got there.

I went to my room as well and changed into boxers and shorts. I got under the sheets and turned my lamp light off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Stephanie's POV*

I have two hours trying to sleep.

I was truly scared. I finally gave up and stood up from the bed.

I quickly walked to Niall's room, considering the hallways were dark.

I opened his door and shut it quietly behind me. He was sound asleep...

"Niall!"

He jumped up.

*Niall's POV*

I was awakened by Stephanie who was standing over me, I grabbed my phone from the side, wincing at the bright light, and checked the time, it was too early for this.

"Wha-what happened?!" I asked sitting up.

"I'm, scared," she sniffled. Even though it was dark, I can see she was upset.

I rubbed my eyes and blinked slowly, "Um, sleep here then?" I suggested, scooting over.

"Thank you," she laid down next to me and I moved the covers on top of us, patting the soft cotton.

We were far from eachother, but then she shifted to turn to me, causing our legs to touch.

*Stephanie's POV*

I was lucky I didn't sleep by myself because that would mean I wouldn't sleep at all. Why did I agree to go to that damn place?

"I keep getting bad dreams," I admitted, a bit embarrassed.

I remember going to Niall's house when were younger teenagers because I couldn't sleep. I would jump over the fence that separated our homes and look up to Niall's closed window, grabbing a pebble and throwing it to catch his attention.

*Flashback*

After about five pebbles continually hitting Niall's window, he finally slid it up, poking his head out to see Stephanie waving. He rubbed his eyes then held up his index finger telling her to wait. She nodded and went to his backyard, smiling as he appeared, sliding the glass door open.

"What's up?" He asked adding a yawn.

Stephanie bit her lip, "I can't sleep."

He smiled, brushing his bed hair with his hand, "Again?"

Stephanie nodded slowly, feeling ashamed as to why she was so afraid, she was fourteen, she had to get over it.

Niall nudged his head, motioning her to come inside, she quietly did so. They both tiptoed up his stairs and into his room, shutting off the light and closing the door behind them.

He climbed in the bed and she followed his moves, doing the same as well, covering themselves with his sheets.

Niall noticed Stephanie was still a bit shaken so he grabbed her hand, causing her to face her bestfriend. They stayed like this until they both fell asleep.

Then in the morning, Niall's mom would end up snapping a few pictures of the two dreamers hugging tightly.

*End of Flashback*

My thoughts ended as I remembered about Niall's mom. God, I can imagine how much he misses her.

Niall then chuckled, leaving me again from my thoughts and brought his arm on top of my waist, "Come here," he pulled me closer to him and rubbed circles on my back with his hand.

I smiled and rested my head on his chest and wrapped an arm around him.

I looked up at him, his eyes were closed and his lips were parted just a little.

"Good night, Niall," I whispered, giving him a small squeeze.

"Good night, Steph," he brought his lips to the top of my head and kissed it softly.

I soon started falling asleep as his chest started rising and falling.

I felt safe in Niall's embrace...
