The Perfect Storm (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 25 -- Our Spot

Elsa's P.O.V.

I was walking down the hallway of the hotel, letting the tears run down my face. I'm tired of being of people thinking they can just use me and play with my feelings, then just get away with it. I'm done.

As I was walking, I heard 5 familiar voices calling my name

"Elsa! Elsa, where are you?!" Louis hollered. The voices were coming closer so I took off down the hall. Right as I was about to round the corner, they screamed my name again.

"Elsa wait!" Zayn yelled. I looked behind me and watched as the boys were gaining up on me. As I was running down the hall, I saw an exit sign and then the stairs. I bolted through the door and quickly made my way down the stairs.

"Elsa, slow down! You could hurt yourself!" Harry yelled. Surprisingly, Harry was right. I lost my balance and tumbled down the last three stairs of the flight I was on.

"Elsa, oh my gosh. Elsa stay there. Let us help you." Liam begged. I could tell they were getting closer, so I got up, felt a rush of pain in my back, but kept going anyway.

"Elsa! Please wait!" Niall hollered.

I made it out of the stairway and ran down another hall, when I suddenly spotted a closet to hide in. I jumped inside and within seconds the boys bolted out of the stairwell and into the hall.

"Where could she have gone?" Zayn asked.

"Let's keep going." Louis said and they ran down the hall. When I felt that the coast was clear, I made my way out of the closet and out the front doors of the hotel. I don't know where I'm going, as long as it gets me out of here I don't care.

Niall's P.O.V.

As the boys and I were running through the halls of the hotel, we spotted Elsa running and Zayn called out to her.

"Elsa wait!" Zayn hollered. She looked behind her and when she noticed it was us, she booked it. We continued to chase her and we watched her make her way into the stairwell. Every once in a while we would look over the railing, and she kept running faster and faster.

"Elsa, slow down! You could hurt yourself!" Harry yelled. Surprisingly, Harry was right. We watched from a distance as Elsa fell down the last three stairs on the flight she was on. She laid there for a minute and rush of protection and worry ran through me and I booked it down the stairs.

"Elsa, oh my gosh. Elsa stay there. Let us help you." Liam begged. I watched as she stood up and stumbled a bit and continued running.

"Elsa! Please wait!" I screamed and we all continued running. We made our way down the rest of the stairs and out into the hallway and she wasn't there.

"Where could she have gone?" Zayn asked.

"Let's keep going." Louis said and we ran down the hall.

As we were running, I stopped in my tracks and gasped.

"What's wrong?" Liam asked.

"I know where she is." I said as I caught my breath. "She's in our spot."

"Go." Zayn said and put his hand on my shoulder. "Now."

I smiled at him and then made my way to the lobby and hollered down a cab.

Elsa's P.O.V.

As the cab rolled up to my destination, sadness and happiness overcame me. I smiled, remembering the last time Niall and I were here, and cried when I thought about what we used to be. Niall is the only other person besides me that knows about this place. I found it when I was about 10 years old and I came here every single day in the summer when I was younger. The stream is hidden by a grass hedge, but it looks like woods, so no one bothers to move the hedge. Niall and I had put together a terrace in the summer and always came to it when we wanted to be alone. This was our spot.

I made my way through the thick hedges and smiled when I came through on the other side. The flowers I had planted so long ago were blooming, the water was running, and it just felt right. I sat down on the rickety bench that had been here when I discovered this place and sighed. I traced over the heart Niall and I had engraved and let out a few tears. Inside the heart it said "Niall & Elsa 4ever". When you're kids and madly in love, you always assume you have the world and you'll always be together forever.
