Fighting for life (1D fanfic)

Chapter 3

I wake up in the arms of Niall again with all the boys sleeping around me including Brooklyn. I remembered everything that had happened last night. Well technically this morning. Brandi is dead. I burst into tears again. I try to be quiet but Niall wakes up. At first he looks confused but then with wide eyes takes me into his arms.

"Stella... Shhh it's okay babe. She's in a good place right now. I promise." I can tell he doesn't know what to say because it wasn't supposed to happen.

"I'm sorry but I can't." I squiggle out of his arms to run to the bathroom.

For the next 30 minutes I cry out the tears I have been holding for the longest time. Thinking about everything and my family.

"Stella? Are you okay? It's Brooklyn." I hear as she comes through the door to the bathroom.

I kick open the door to the stall I'm in. Just sitting on the floor. She comes straight in and just sits next to me. "I'm sorry about what happened. I have a story to tell you..." She pauses but then continues looking into my eyes, "about 4 months ago my dogs got into this big fight. They got into fights a lot but one night it got out of hand. My mom and I loved those dogs to death but we had to put the girl down because she was too aggressive. The day we put them down I had a dream about her and my other dog in heaven playing. I think they were trying to tell me that they were happy and that I should be happy also." She paused to take a breath and she had tears in her eyes. " I want you to know that Brandi loved you to death and she's happy right now. I promise. She knows that that wasn't your fault. So don't think it was."

I don't even know what to say so I just pull her into a tight hug. I needed this hug for the longest time. And I needed a girl talk.

"Thank you so much Brook. That really helped me. I know she's happy." I start to cry and we both hold each other in each others arms and cry.

We finally pull ourselves together and walk out of the bathroom to all the boys sitting around the door waiting for us. We scare them because of the loud door closing which makes me smile alittle.

"STELLA!!" They all scream at me and attack me with a group hug. Which goes on for about 30 seconds. We are all laughing.

"Okay.. Guys I can't breath." Now chocking from the lack of air which makes Niall freak out and he pushes everyone away from me.

"Give her some air you cunts!!" Niall screams.

They all take steps back grinning and saying sorry about what happened.

"Don't say sorry. I'm sorry for trying to leave. I thought it was a good idea but really it was horrible." I confess.

Harry steps forward, "I'm sorry I took my eyes off you... I told you I wouldn't. I'm so sorry." He pulls me into a hug.

"No Harry it's far from anyone's fault but mine..." I force a smile. "Why don't we do something fun?"

All the boys give me the biggest grins, Niall's especially the biggest. Niall always smiles, he's the kind of person you need when you're sad and just need to smile and get your mind off things.

Liam starts jumping up and down, "Lets go to Disneyland!!" Everyone agrees. This will be interesting with no one there, only zombies that we have to kill. Management is making us take security with us to kill them all. It's annoying that someone has to follow us the whole way when we can do it ourselves...

***********

The ride there was actually pretty fun. Zayn drove and let me tell you he is a crazy driver...

Harry was in the passenger seat with me behind him, Brook next to me, then Liam. Niall was left in the back with the 2 security guards. Some Mac Miller songs came on and I had to force everyone but Brooklyn to keep them on. Maybe me and Brooklyn will become close soon. We finally arrive and it's almost 90 degrees outside... Too hot.
