A Broken Dream (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty: Proper Cuddle

I tried to write in Niall's accent when he talks so if you don't like it just tell me and I'll write normally!

•Harrys POV

I woke up to the sound of light whimpering. My mind drifted to Leah and that's when I started freaking out. What if she's hurt? What if the boys are scaring her?

I jumped out of my bunk and searched the bus for Leah, finding her sitting on the couch in Niall's arms. I sighed a little before my eyes fell upon the clock on the wall. 2:16 AM. I moved around in front of them and Niall tilted his head up to look at me. Leah's eyes were closed but she was crying, which was strange.

"Found her cryin in er' bunk a few minutes ago. I think she's just havin a nightmare." The Irishman sighed and laid his chin on top of her head. She let out another small cry and buried deeper into his chest.

"Wait, what were you doing up?" I asked quizzically.

"What? A mate can't have a good midnight snack?" He shrugged his shoulders lightly, trying not to wake Leah.

"It was weird, findin er' I mean. She was just layin dere' in er' bunk and I asked er' what was wrong and she di'nt answer. Den she just rolled o'er and she was asleep, so I decided to bring er' out ere' and give er' a proper cuddle." His thumb lightly grazed over Leah's arm and she started to stir. Her eyes shifted open lazily.

"Hey babe, how are you feeling?" I reached out a hand to rub her arm.

"Wh-what's going on?" Her voice was shaky and groggy. Niall still had a tight grip on her small frame.

"I found ya cryin and I just thought you'd enjoy a cuddle." Niall spoke up. She looked from Niall to me then back to Niall. Suddenly feeling the tears, she wiped them away with the back of her hand.

"Why were you crying?" I asked timidly, knowing very well that she wouldn't tell me.

"It was nothing, Harry. Can I just go back to bed?" She rubbed her eyes like a small child would do.

"Fine, but we're talking about this tomorrow morning." As she tried to stand, Niall held her back.

"But I want a good cuddle." She giggled at Niall and laid back in his arms. It surprised me, but I was glad that she was finally letting someone hold her.

•Leah's POV

I awoke in Niall's arms, to him heavily snoring. I tried to peel myself away from his torso, only for his arms to latch on tighter. A part of me wanted to freak out and cry. Another part just wanted to stay within his grasp and stay warm. I decided on the second part.

I really got a good look at his features now. His hair was a prefect blend of blonde and brunette, combed down. His mouth was open a bit, showing perfectly straight teeth. I smiled to myself and snuggled a little farther into his chest. After a while, Niall yawned and stretched a little. I pretended to still be asleep, just to see what he would do.
