You Have A Nightmare And He's Not There, (Niall):

You're sat talking to your brother, just having a full on conversation with him. Not wanting everything to end you try and carry on the conversation. Going into every detail to keep him talking. Slowly the conversation starts to fade and your brother starts to loose color. The edges of him curling up like an old photo. Agonizingly slowly every bit of him starts to disappear. Eventually, you're sat by yourself with an empty seat. Where your brother was sat.

You wake up slowly, your eyelids still heavy. After a few minutes you sit up and reach for your phone, which is on your bedside table. Totally forgetting the past events you ring Niall, who is touring America. It takes a few rings before he answers the phone, "(Y/N), why aren't you sleeping? What's happened, is everything okay?"

You laugh a little, "Yeah, of course, everything's fine. Erm, Niall. Can I ask you a question?"

He goes silent for a few seconds then speaks again, "fire away."

"When was the last time you spoke to my brother?"

He sighs on the other end of the line, "(Y/N), why are you asking this? Are you sleep-talking or something?"

You chuckle lightly, "course not. Seriously Niall, when was the last time you spoke to him?"

There's a long pause before Niall can get his words out, "princess, he's dead."

Your breath hitches in the back of your throat, "No, I was just speaking to him a few minutes ago! We had a full conversation and everything!"

"(Y/N), no. You can't start thinking like this..." Niall's voice is full of sympathy.

Suddenly all the events of the past come rushing back to you, Niall's right. Your brother, two months earlier, passed away in a crash. You keep forgetting these things and you see him, and have full conversations with him, in your head and dreams. "How can I be so stupid?.." You whisper, running a hand through your hair.

"It happens to loads of people, don't worry. Don't be so harsh on yourself."

A tear falls from your eye, you wipe away the other free falling ones with your thumb, "I just miss him."

"I know you do, it's just natural for you to feel like that. Don't cry, he wouldn't of wanted you to cry, he would of wanted you to smile and laugh at all the happy memories you had together. Come on cheer up. I don't like hearing you this upset."

You smile, Niall was really supportive and he continues to support you when you get upset or mad. "You're right. Sorry if I disturbed you."

"Don't be daft, you didn't. Stay strong, I love you."

"I love you too Niall."

After you hang up you do as Niall says, you go through all the photo albums with pictures of you and your brother in them. Watch home videos of when you were younger and remember him in a happy way.
