Silent Call - (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter Twenty-Four

Hello! As promised, here is chapter 24. There are only five chapters plus an epilogue left, so take that as a slight warning that the end is soon approaching. Like many chapters before, there's an important song involved and a link on the sidebar. I can easily say that this is my favourite chapter in the story and it's a longer one too. It took me a while to write it because of how deep the wording is and I hope you appreciate it as much as I do. - RachelLyn

Chapter Twenty-Four

Skylar's POV *Flashback*

"Niall James Horan, where are you taking me!?" I yelled and he quickly covered my mouth with his hand. I was blindfolded in Niall's car, well his mum's car but he claimed it was his. He had forced me out of my house, wrapped a bandana around my head, and told me to stop asking questioning.
"Shhhhh!! I'm driving," He kept hushing me. I licked his hand and he cursed causing me to giggle.
"You're gross, Skylar. You don't know where my hand has been," He complained wiping his hand on my bare leg.
"What are you trying to say, Horan?" I chuckled and swatted his hand away.
"You're nasty,” He whined that caused me to burst out in a fit of giggles. "You know I really worry about you sometimes," He muttered only causing me to laugh even harder.
"Why won't you tell me where we're going?" I asked after I managed to settle down.
"Because it's a surprise," He said in a 'duh' tone.
"You know I hate surprises and that is all because of you. You do remember what happened don't you?" I groaned.
"Of course I remember! I didn't know he was going to scare you!" He protested.
"Uhuuuhhhh," I nodded not believing him.

When we were back in secondary school, Niall had taken me to an apple orchard when his family and mine visited America. Some guy had jumped out of the corn maze and tried scaring me, only causing me to hurt him. I broke the guy’s collar bone and got kicked off the property.
"I didn't know there were guys dressed as scare crows! Nor did I know you had the strength to break a man's collar bone!”
"Yeah, whatever," I mumbled. "Are we there yet?"
"Yes, actually we are," He said putting the car in park.
"Good," I said reaching up to take the blind fold off.
"No! Not yet!" He yelled grabbing my wrists.
"Why not?!" I whined.
"I told you, it's a surprise." He said and his cool hands disappeared from my wrists.

I heard his car door opening and then slam shut. I held my breath and waited for what was coming next. I heard my door open and I held my hand opening praying to God it was just Niall and not some creep coming to take me. I felt the same cool hand as moments ago, and I yelped in surprise.
"Babe,” He chuckled. “It's just me," Niall's soothing voice whispered.

Niall took hold of my hand and helped me out of the car. He guided me through a path way and from what I could tell; we were talking on a gravel path. I could tell by the crackling sound of it beneath my hot pink Toms.

"Okay stop," He instructed. I exhaled quickly, not realizing I was holding my breath. It's not that I didn't trust Niall; I was just always on high alert when it came to situations like this. I didn't really want to break anyone else's bones, especially Niall's. I smelt salt. The smell warmed my nose with a very pleasurable feeling.

I felt Niall's fingers on the back of my head, untying the blind fold that was still wrapped around my head. The blind fold was released from my head and a blue light caught my sight. I gasped as I took in the beautiful scenery. Right in front of me was the bright blue ocean with the moon perfectly centered on the horizon, glowing a bright white. It looked like Niall's eyes, honestly. The mixture of blues and silver were so mesmerizing. In the sand directly in front of us was a white table centered on the rocky beach glowing bright with candles.

"You did this?" I asked turning to face Niall. He smiled proudly and nodded. I looked back at the view, a smile planted on my face.
"Do you like it?" He asked softly, wrapping is arms tightly around my waist.
"I love it," I said with light tears brimming my eyes. I turned back to face Niall, stood on the tips of my toes, and wrapped my arms securely around his neck
"Good. Happy anniversary, princess," He whispered and planted a warm, passionate kiss on my shoulder.
