Aibhlinn's POV
"Your parents were involved in a car accident earlier yesterday morning." I had heard what he had said but I couldn't talk. My mouth was completely dry. I swallowed once, twice, three times but my mouth stayed dehydrated. I was seriously praying that he wouldn't say- "Your mother is in hospital in a critical condition." Well, she's not dead and I could go visit her right away, but what about my dad. I swallowed again. Please please please! "I am so very sorry Miss Dowds, your father died at the scene." I couldn't talk, my throat had an aching pain, I made this awful noise but I couldn't stop. I just cried, and cried.
"Is there someone you can call?" said the other police officer. I nodded. I pulled out my phone and called the only person I knew I could talk to. Niall.
Niall's POV
I was sitting in my bedroom when my phone started ringing. I thought it was Harry again, calling to finish his conversation he had started yesterday, but it wasn't.
"Hello?"
"Niall?" I heard a small, girls voice croak from the other end.
"Aibh? What's wrong? Were you crying?" I asked, I was worried about her, she sounded like she was crying.
"Niall," she began, "My parents.. my... my dad."
"Aibh, please! What's wrong?"
"My dad, he's dead."
Aibhlinn's POV
"I'm on my way," Niall said. I still couldn't believe it, my dad was dead. He was dead. And he wasn't, he couldn't, ever come back. I began to sob, my whole body shook as I cried. My parents lived in Cheshire in England so my dad's body would be sent here to be buried in his hometown. I cried. I couldn't stop, even when I did stop crying, my body would shake. Tears stinged my eyes, I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I wanted to- There was a knock at the door.
"Aibh? Are you OK?" Niall's sweet voice was so caring, I felt so safe. He pulled me into a hug and I just cried, I let it all out. We stood there for a while, Niall just comforted me. "I told the girls, they're coming up later." I just nodded. I didn't lift my head from Niall's shoulder.
"Niall?" I finally croaked out.
"Yes?"
"Come with me to Chesire, to see my mum."
"Of course."
