Live (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

The Memories

Eva's POV

"Don't watch, sweetie." My mother soothed.

They were still trying with Niall - it had been 20 minutes since they lost a pulse.

"He can't go. He can't." I whispered.

"I know, he's far too young. Life isn't fair." Mum muttered.

"Banks isn't fair" I said in realisation.

"Wha-"? I pulled away from Mum and stomped over to Banks.

"YOU DID THIS! YOU CAUSED THIS INNOCENT MAN TO DIE, YOU LITTLE SHIT"! I stood on my toes to make myself seem taller and shoved my finger in his face.

"You're not making this any easier for yourself." Banks muttered.

"She's right and she has the backup she deserves. That Niall deserves." Harry exclaimed.

Harry, Liam, Freya, Mum, Dad and then finally Louis stood with me. Harry on my left, Louis on my right and everyone else behind.

"THAT MAN WAS OUTTA CONTROL"! Banks roared. He'd finally been pushed over the edge.

"HE WAS PROTECTING ME"! I yelled.

"HE WAS A FUCKING THREAT"!

"HE WAS MY BOYFRIEND! AND I LOVED HIM"!

"DO YOU THINK I CARE"?

"NO! I JUST EXPECT YOU TO HAVE EVEN JUST AN OUNCE OF SYMPATHY AND APOLOGISE"!

"There's an output." I heard Doctor Thorpe say.

"What"? I looked at him and he stared me in the eyes.

"There's an output. He's not giving up just yet."

"Eva! Did you hear that"? Mum shouted.

"Yeah" I mumbled. I was stunned.

Niall's POV

"GET IN"!

I jumped into the car to be faced with a girl in the drivers seat. She pushed down on the accelerator and her luscious brown hair fell forwards as she sped out of there.

"Thanks for saving me back there, I was almost dinner"!

"No problem...its hell out here"! Her voice cracked.

The walker landed on top of her and she held it away from her. I kicked it off of her and grabbed the knife she had in her hand. I stabbed it and went straight to her.

"Eva, Eva talk to me! Talk to me Eva"! I held her face in my hand. I was deeply concerned for her and pulled her into a tight hug and she hugged back. It was warm, safe and almost heartfelt. The panic I had just experienced was mad for someone I had just met.

***

I snaked my arm around her waist innocently and pulled her slowly and softly back into my warm body. Her small figure tensed but relaxed when I intertwined my legs with hers and nuzzled my head into the back of her neck.

She didn't protest and my heart leapt with joy, knowing I'd succeeded. Her hair tickled my face but it felt good at the same time.
