Niall's P.O.V

Almost instantly after we pulled away Beth had fallen asleep, and that was about 20 minutes ago and now there is about 10 minutes left. She was so adorable sleeping, and at the moment she had a huge smile on her face. When she is sleeping i have this impulse, like it's my job, to sit next to her and make sure no harm comes to her. I guess that's how I know I'm in love.

Now, while Beth is sleeping, I am talking to Rob and getting to know him a lot more. He explained that that night when he questioned he was just protecting his daughter, as he knows how older boys use pretty younger girl. I understand him completely. If I had a daughter, I would do exactly the same in his shoes.

"Thank you Niall." Rob said randomly while we were quiet. I looked at him for a second then concentrated back on the road. He looked like he genuinely meant it.

"For what?" I asked just slightly confused.

"For proving you are the man I thought and still think you are. For never just giving up because Beth is a bit of trouble. That's what her other boy friends have been like, and that's why I treated you the way I did." He said with a hint of, proud, in his voice?

"No problem. But can I ask you a question?" I said. He just nodded. "Do you believe in love at first sight?" I asked still looking at the road.

"Of course. How do you think Beth's mother and I met? We are complete opposites and if we depended on our heads and not hearts, we wouldn't be together." He said not hiding anything. I smiled.

"Well, that's what happened the night I met Beth. The sweet gentleness of her face. He great posture showing she was friendly but busy. Her bright blue eyes showing how beautiful and caring she is." I explained not hiding a single detail I loved about Beth from her father.

"Well I am completely glad to hear you say that. And you used the word beautiful and not just hot. I know you are prefect for Beth." Rob said smiling.

"Thank you so much for not giving up on me Rob." He just turned and flashed a welcome and proud smile my way. I smiled back, thankful for how amazing Beth and her family are. I couldn't help but notice at that moment, that Beth's eyes are some-what the same as her dads, just hers are more of a deep blue and his are more crystal or grey.

Beth's P.O.V

*Dream*

"Since you and Cerys had started dating you have taken no notice of me. At all! And it pissed me off! Why are you now taking notice of me? Why now I'm happy? I gotten over the fact you don't want me in your life anymore! What happened to Best Friends Forever? No matter what? You forgot about me! And now you are questioning me about my life and my decisions? YOU DON'T KNOW ME! YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN MY LIFE FOR MONTHS! AND YOUR NOT COMING BACK EITHER!" I screamed in John's face.

I could see I had hurt him because he was crying, and so was I. I was so badly hurt. I didn't want to yell at John like that. Never would I have imagined yelling at him like that, but it was what needed to be done to get the message into his brain. "Stop crying. Your tears mean nothing to me now." I tried demanding, but it came out more of a request.

I remember almost literally running away from him and towards Niall. I grabbed him and my things and ran out of Costa. I remember taking one look back to see David, Carly and Cerys completely shocked. But John was broken. You could see the pain written on his face, and the same on mine. This was the end of us.

I ran as far as my legs could take me then dropped to my knees and buried my face in my hands. It was cold and I was on the top floor of the parking lot.

*End of dreaming*

"Beth! Wake up! Please? Beth!" I heard someone shouting. I fluttered my eyes open to see my fathers shocked face to my left and Niall almost on top of me holding my shoulders.

"W-what h-happened?" I stuttered. As soon as I did, I knew I had been crying. It was a normal instinct to do when I cried.

"I don't know. You yelled 'You don't know me. Your not coming back.' And you were crying very intensely. We were both worried sick." As Niall explained I remember having the dream of what happened in Costa. But I also remember having the dream of our 11 year friend-aversary.

Instinctively I put my hand to my neck. My hands were numb from where I was gripping my bag tightly, so I couldn't feel anything. "Is my locket still around my neck?" I asked worried. Niall just looked at me strangely. "Tell me! Please?" I begged. He just nodded and lifted it up slightly. I grabbed it and sighed in relief. John and I may not talk, but I still love him!

"Why is it so important? Does it have something to do with your dream?" He questioned. I smiled slightly and tapped his cheek.

"I will tell you later while dad is being checked up. It's a long story and he already knows it. Now lets get in before were late." I said pushing Niall of lightly. He nodded but looked extremely aggravated.

...............................................

We walked into the private hospital and up to the reception. There was a woman, probably in her thirties, with blond hair and green eyes. You could see in her face she had worked the night shift by how low her eyes and cheeks were.

"Hello!" I said cheerily, trying to lighten the mood. She smiled back happy to see someone with high spirits this morning.

"Good morning! Who are we then?" She asked getting ready to type into her computer.

"This is my father. " I said pointing at my dad. "We are here to see Carl?" I asked more than stated.

"Ah yes. You must be Beth!" She said getting even more exited. "Which means you must be Rob. Beth's father." She said getting up and shaking hands with dad. "And who are you young man?" She asked gesturing to Niall.

"Oh. Sorry. My name is Niall Horan." He said extending an arm.

"Yes, I thought so. My daughter is a huge fan of One Direction. I thought I recognized your face from somewhere." She said brightly. She shook Niall's hand then sat back down. "Anyway. He is waiting on the second floor, first corridor, sixth door on the left." She said still smiling.

"Thank you. Would you like me to sign anything for your daughter?" Niall asked. Some how, if someone recognized him and didn't ask for anything he felt guilty for them not asking, thinking it was something he did.

"Well. You could sign this photo of her." She said going through a draw and pulling out a picture of a little girl. I would say the girl is no older than 11, but she is so cute! She has brown curly hair and soft brown eyes showing how layed back and sweet she is.

"She is the cutest little girl I have ever seen!" I exclaimed as Niall signed the photo with a sharpie.

"Why thank you very much." She said. Then she motioned for Niall to lean towards her. I don't think she meant for me to hear, but I did. "Is that your girl friend?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am. She is, not to long back." He replied proudly.

"Good catch boy. She is one of the rare type. Don't let her go." She said back.

"Don't worry." He said. "I don't plan on doing so." And after that we all set off for the elevator.

A/N: How I imagine the blue of Beth's eyes are. I love this colour! So pure, so light. Just an amazing colour!<3
