Summer Love (Niall Horan/OC)(Harry Styles/OC)

Chapter 5

Harry's POV

While Arianna and I had cleaned up the mess made by the broken window, Stephanie and Niall cuddled on the couch. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. If she even tried to get up, he'd already be there with what she needed. It was definitely cute, but my stomach wouldn't stop churning. What would it feel like to have someone there for me?

Nialls POV

I could feel Harry's eyes on me. If I was as dramatic as Louis, I would say that his eyes were burning holes in the back of my head. But I paid him no mind; I wanted my attention focused on Stephanie. Seeing her like that, all helpless and injured. Covered in her blood. I couldn't get the horrific image out of my mind. The worst thing was, is that I didn't do anything to protect her. I couldn't do anything and it killed me.

Looking at her now, snuggled in her red lifeguard sweatshirt; her tightly bandaged ankle placed on the cushion. I can't help but to smile. She's so strong. Not once had she complained about the pain in her ankle or about how unfair this was.

"Niall?" She questioned, pulling me out of my daze.

I smiled at her, "Do you need anything? Can I get you something eat? I should-" I started asking but she cut me off.

"Niall, I'm okay!" She said laughing.

I grinned sheepishly at her, I just couldn't help but get worried. God, I hope she doesn't think I'm annoying.

"I know, I know! Sorry!" I said, shrugging it off.

I made a silly face at her, I just wanted her to keep laughing. There were candles lit up all around us and they illuminated her happy face. I grinned as she laughed throwing her head back and clutched her stomach. Her cheeks were red and her eyes were filled with amusement.

Arianna's POV

They looked so cute together, I wondered how they couldn't see it. Stephanie was so oblivious to the way Niall looked at her. The way he made ridiculous faces and flailed his arms like an idiot just to make her laugh. I hope he never stopped.

I can't remember the last time she laughed so hard that actual tears were sliding down her face. I guess it was just a couple months ago that she had laughed like she hadn't had a care in the world.

Flashback

I practically sprinted down the hallway, pushing other students to the side. I ran up the stairs, taking two steps at a time and winced as my ankle twisted on the final step. I ignored the pain as I flew down the last hallway and into the Chemistry classroom. Ignoring my bitch of a teacher, I plopped myself down into my seat and glared holes into the side of Stephanie's head. She knew I was looking, waiting for her to turn my way. Honestly, how could she send me a text like that and then ignore my questions?

I saw her bite her lip and squint her eyes. I snorted, knowing she was trying not to laugh.

"What the hell are you two doing?" asked the missing part of our Golden Trio.

I glanced at Tiffany, her dark chocolate skin was highlighted under her beige sweater with the tan toggle buttons. She had her signature black beanies pulled over her head hiding her gigantic headphones and her bright purple phone was clutched in one hand. She kept on glancing from me to Stephanie with a 'Wtf' look on her face .

I pointed to Stephanie to emphasize my point and said, "This bitch texted me the most perfect picture of Louis with a teaser heading on how it's part of their Kiss You video preview and then she wouldn't send me a link to the page!"

At this, Stephanie burst out laughing, her head flying back and her long brown hair whipping the back of her chair. I could see Tiffany just shaking her head in utter disappointment over our obsession with the world's biggest boy band.
