Forever & Always (Completed)

9- A Nickname to be Forgotten

Hopefully no one noticed her, because I don’t want to make things awkward with our new friends. Is she getting jealous of Mel? I hope not! 

*Half Hour Later*

“Skye- Skye wake up.” I heard a soothing, Irish accent in my ears. I fluttered my eyes open to see Niall standing over me.

“Wh-what happened?” I asked, confused. I looked around and no one was on the bus. “Where is everyone?”

“Everyone’s inside Layla’s house, talking to her parents. You fell asleep and I didn’t want to wake you, but we have to leave now.” Niall’s accent was so comforting.

“Oh, thanks. Wh-what time is it?” I asked, looking at my phone. It was 2AM! “Don’t you guys have a concert tonight?”

“Yeah, but we’re having such a good time with you guys, we didn’t want to leave yet. But now we have to.” I could hear his voice quivering.

“Aw, I wish I was awake to enjoy it with you guys, I feel bad.” I said, looking down. Niall then took my chin and lifted it so I was looking into his blue eyes.

“I’ve enjoyed every second of this day, because I’ve spent it with you.” He blushed and helped me up off the couch. 

“Thanks Nialler.” I blushed, then I looked up to him blushing as well.

“No problem,” he paused, “Squish.” Then he laughed, while holding my hand, helping me off the bus and into the house. My cheeks were definitely red now. “Why does your coach call you that anyway?” He asked as we entered the house.

“Call you what?” Liam looked up at us. Blakely, Amelia, and Layla all looked up. They knew exactly what he meant.

“Oh, Squish?” Layla laughed, answering Liam’s question. He still seemed confused, now my cheeks were bright red.

“It’s because she doesn’t like Finding Nemo, unreal right?” Amelia responded. Everyone was shocked, especially Niall.

“Y-you don’t like Finding Nemo?” Niall asked me, he seemed pretty disappointed. I looked up at him and shook my head. “What? How?!”

“I guess I’ve just seen it too many times.” I said, looking around the room.

“You know Niall here used to cry at that movie.” Louis stated, beginning to laugh.

“Used to?” Harry added, now everyone was laughing. Except Niall.

“Oh come on Nialler, you know we’re just messing with you.” Louis said, giving Niall the puppy dog eyes.

“I know, but that movie means a lot to me.” Niall said, sitting down at the table. I looked at him, saddened. “My mum used to watch that movie with me and my dad,” he paused, choking up a bit. I felt so bad for him, then he continued. “You know, before…” He couldn’t finish his sentence, he was sobbing so hard. I ran over to him and hugged him. I began to let tears fall down my face, I can’t bear to see other people cry.

“I’m so sorry, Nialler.” He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I began to cry. He looked up at me, wiping the tears away.

“Please don’t cry, I don’t want you to be hurt.” He looked at me, smiling weakly.

“I’ll stop if you stop, I don’t like to see you cry.” I managed to say. He just looked down, letting out a small sob. “Please? For me?” He smiled at me and I wiped the tears from his face.

“Anything for you.”
