Mostly Silent... (1D)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

When I woke up from my nap it was about 11 o'clock, so I had only slept for a few hours. But it was dark out and the house was quiet. I figured that everyone had gone off to bed including Zayn who no longer had me in his embrace.

I sat up and swung my feet over, sliding off my bed. My bare feet pitter patter on the cold floor as I walked out of my room and done the hall. I could hear murmurs of a television but that was about it. I carefully tip toed down the stairs till I reached the bottom step. I stopped and looked into the living room; the Tv was on the news, illuminating the dark room with a blue glow. The lights off and door locked, it looked as normal as it could be.

I hopped off the last step planing to get myself some water, but passing the couch I noticed a body. But not just any body, but Niall's body. He was spread out on the couch with his phone laying across his chest and a bag of chips on the coffee table. He was snoring slightly as his mouth poured out drool.

I giggled to myself and grabbed a blanket laying it over him and placing his phone on the coffee table and switching off the Tv. I then wiped the drool off his cheek with his shirt and grabbed the bag of chips. I made my way to the kitchen; clipping the chips closed and putting them in the cabinet and getting myself a glass of water.

I wasn't really sleepy anymore so I sat in the kitchen and drank my water, thinking of what to do. I felt like leaving the house and walking to the park, but I knew if I wasn't back in time before the boys woke up they would freak out. 'Maybe I could go for a swim?' I thought. No it's pitch dark out and probably cold.

After sitting with my hand propping my head up, I sighed bored and set my empty glass in the sink. I was looking at the ground as I walked into the living room, heading for my room upstairs. When I looked up, Niall was sitting up staring at me with wide eyes. I stopped in my track and stared back. I thought maybe he was just sleep walking or...sleep sitting. Like he is still in deep sleep but it looks like he is awake.

He continues to stare at me as I walk closer to him, his eyes wide like he doesn't know who I am.

"Niall?" I whisper putting my hand on his shoulder and looking into his eyes. He blinks a few times and shakes his head.

"Sidney?" He whispers confused. "I missed you!" He yells quickly pulling me in for a tight hug. I'm confused for a minute as he sets me on his lap and hugs me tighter, mumbling "I love you, and missed you, and I'm so glad your here and it was just a dream!" He pulls back and looks at me. I give him a weird look as he smiles big.

"Niall, what are you talking about?" I whisper in response, what he is thinking? His smile slowly fades as he searches my eyes.

"In my dream, you were kidnapped... And we all cried and...they...." He paused and turned to look at the ground. "That wasn't a dream was it?" He asked looking back at me. I shook my head and wrapped my arms around his waist barring my head into his chest in a hug.

"I wish...." I whispered softly before pulling away. He frowned and I stood up taking his hand and pulling him up.

"Go sleep in your bed, its more comfy them the couch." I told him he nodded letting me pull him toward the stairs.

"Come too" he said. "Come sleep in my comfy bed too" he begged using his outside voice.

"Ok but shush, everyone's sleeping!" I whispered back stepping up the stairs.

"Okay" he whispered back with a chuckle.

I tip toed down the hall and to Niall's room dropping his hand as he climbed into the bed. Then he lifted the duvet up so I could climb in. I slide in and closed my eyes, feeling Niall pull me closer and setting his head right next to mine. Kissing my forehead.
