"What?!" I asked, wondering what happened. "Well, Louis ran into an old friend named Nala! They talked for a bit, and they realized they knew each other when they were little! They're catching up now." Liam explained. I smiled. Niall squeezed my hand. "Oh, and C.J., you can come home tomorrow." Liam told me. I nodded. Liam smiled brightly and left the room. I started thinking for a minute. Nala... Where does that name sound familiar? I guess Niall knew something was going on, because he squeezed my hand again. "Oh... Sorry!" I blurted. "It's fine. What's the matter, love?" He asked. I thought for a second before asking. "Doesn't the name Nala sound familiar to you?" I asked. Niall nodded slightly. "Yeah.. Hmm.." He mumbled. I thought through movies I have seen. Then it clicked in my mind. "The Lion King!" I blurted. "What?!" Niall asked, alarmed. "The Lion King.. That's where it's from!" I explained. "Oh yeah... Simba's wife, right?" He asked. I nodded. "The Lion King..." I trailed off. He nodded in agreement.
I woke up to the bright sunlight. I looked over and saw all of the boys sleeping, along with Celeste and a girl I didn't recognize. That must be Nala.. Her and Louis would be cute together... I thought. I noticed movement by me. "C.J.?" I heard Niall's voice whisper. He was talking in his sleep. I grabbed his hand. "I am here.. Don't worry, Niall..." I whispered back.
***Nala's P.O.V.***
"Nala, I am gonna get you!" I heard someone yell at me. I looked behind me and laughed. A boy was chasing after me, and he was quite cute. I just couldn't identify who he was. "You better run!" He shouted while laughing. I tripped and he came over by me. He sat beside me and held my hand. I started giggling. He leaned down and kissed me. I closed my eyes. When I opened them back up, he was gone. Everything went black.
"Nala, wake up! It's time to go." I heard a voice say as they were shaking me slightly. I looked up and saw Louis. So that's who it was that was chasing me... I thought. I would know exactly who owned those eyes no matter what. They stood out, they were so bright. You could spot them from a mile away. I stood up and stretched. As I did, Louis poked my stomach. I squealed. "Lou!" Louis just chuckled and ran out before I could get back at him. I had noticed everyone was gone. Oh yeah... C.J. got out of the hospital today. I thought to myself. "C'mon, Nala. We gotta go." I heard a voice whisper into my ear. I turned to see Louis grinning. I punched his shoulder. "Don't poke me again, or else..." I threatened. "What... You mean like.... This?!" He muttered while poking my sides. I squealed again. "Louis!" I shouted after him as he ran out of the door. I walked towards the door. As I walked out, Louis jumped out from my right and scared the living daylights out of me. "Louis, seriously?!" I cried out. He laughed. I started walking and he came up by me. "Sorry, Sissy." He said. My eyes grew wide. "You...You remember my nick name from when we were little?" I asked in complete shock. He nodded. He must have saw I was shocked because he laughed again. "Ya'know...I know I left you a while back... But, I am not leaving you again. You're my best friend." He said. He slung his arm over my shoulders and we walked down the hall to the elevator. As we got to the bottom floor, Louis removed his arm and walked out. I walked out slowly. I stopped a few feet away from the group of people. Is it possible I am in love with him? I don't think he feels the same way, though... If he does, he definitely is good at hiding it.. Besides, if I remember right, he has a girlfriend... I shook my head and walked over to them. I smiled and just went with whatever they were saying. I couldn't help but notice Louis staring at me sometimes. "Well... I better get going, guys. I have to get home soon." I mumbled. They nodded. We all walked out of the hospital. I heard someone call my name. I turned around to see Louis jogging up to me. I waited for him to get closer to talk to him. "Yeah?" I asked. He caught his breath for a second. "I am gonna walk you home. It's almost dark." He muttered. I shook my head. "No, Louis. It's fine, re-" "It wasn't a question." He said, interrupting me. He smirked. I nodded. We started walking towards my house. "Louis..." I said, trailing off. "Yeah?" He asked. "What's it like? Being in a band and traveling? Don't you ever get nervous whenever you perform?" I blurted out. He chuckled. "It's fun... I have four of my best friends with me. Traveling has its ups and downs, but it's fun. And performing... It's amazing." He replied. I nodded. We walked in silence for a while. I started singing one of my favorite songs called We're In Heaven, somehow not caring if Louis listened. "Oh, thinkin' about our younger years, there was only you and me. We were young and wild and free... Now, nothing can take you away from me. We've been down that road before. But that's over now, you keep me coming back for more..." I sang. I got lost in thought. I really DO love him... But I can't tell him. "Baby you're all that I want, when you're lying here in my arms... I'm finding it hard to believe, we're in Heaven... You're love is all that I need, and I found it there in your heart...It isn't too hard to see... We're in Heaven.." I sang again. I didn't notice Louis had joined in until he carried out the last note longer than me. I looked up at him, blushing. "Sissy.. I didn't know you could sing!" He mumbled. I giggled. "I have been singing since we were little. Don't you remember?" I asked. He shook his head and looked at the ground. We walked in silence again for the rest of the way. We arrived at my house. When we got on my porch, we said goodbye and I walked into my house. I smiled. Yesterday was one of the best days ever... I found my best friend who I missed so badly. I walked up to my bedroom. I plopped down on my bed. I couldn't help but think about Louis. I got up and changed into my pajamas and then got in bed. I kept thinking of Louis. Soon, my thoughts drifted me to sleep.
