Chapter 3

Niall's POV

"STOP!" I shouted and Louis hit the brakes immediately.

Harry sat beside me and grabbed the hold of the front seat, while I slammed to the seatbelt. I felt the air being pushed out of me and I started coughing, while Louis, Liam and Harry sat shocked at their seats. I saw a little girl right in front of the car, looking at us, tears spilling out of her eyes. 

I opened the seatbelt and winced at the pain I felt. I got out of the car slowly and walked toward the little kid. I kneeled in front of her. 

"Hey, love. Are you okay?" I asked, still coughing a little. I felt huge amount of pain every time I coughed, but I thought it was nothing serious. 

"I want my mommy." The little girl said with a pleading voice. I looked around me and only saw Harry to get out of the car.

"Would you tell me your name? Then we can go and find your mommy." I said smiling slightly through the pain.  

"My name is Callie. My mom-.." She stopped when a beautiful woman ran towards us. 

"Callie?! Oh thank god, you're okay! I was so worried!" The woman yelled relieved. She looked at my face a little shocked. 

"Umh.. Hi, I'm Niall, we're so sorry, Louis didn't pay attention, but I think your daughter is okay. I'm so sorry." I tried to apologize and saw the woman smiling warmly at me. 

"Apology accepted. My daughter looks fine, but you don't look so good. Are you okay, love?"  She asked looking at me worriedly now. I nodded smiling a little. 

"I'm okay." I said and heard footsteps behind me. 

"You better be okay." Harry said frowning. He seemed to be fine and that's all that matters. Wow. That just sounded really cliché. But I'm happy he's okay. 

"Seriously, I'm fine, my chest is just a little sore." I explained and Harry didn't seem to believe it, but the woman thanked us for not running over her kid, and left. I waved after them and stood up, facing Harry. 

"You okay?" I asked Harry this time and he nodded taking my hand and dragging me to the car. I sat inside and saw Louis and Liam talking like nothing happened. 

"Louis, you have to concentrate when you're driving! What if we had hit that girl with the car! We would be in jail, and I don't want to go to jail, because there is no food!" My voice cracked at the last word and the shock was back. I sobbed into my hands before Harry took me into his arm and hugged me tightly. 

"My chest hurts.." I sobbed and Louis started driving slowly now and he didn't took his eyes from the road. I felt Harry playing with my hair and I started to blush. Trying to hide it, I nuzzled my nose in the crook of his neck. 

"We will get you some painkillers in the cottage, you just have to wait for a while." Harry said and I nodded. He started humming 'One Thing' and I stopped sobbing before we reached the cottage.
