Strong (Niall Horan Fanfic)

I Realized

Niall’s POV

The boys and I spent the whole afternoon at the mall. We did nothing but eat and eat and eat. Thanks to my tummy. I just love food that it’s hard to resist. When the night fell, we lads decided to bring the two girls for a night out at a pub. I saw Aly say ‘no’ but after Harry tried to ask and get his puppy eyes on her, she finally said yes. I just noticed how they got easily so close after they met up. Maybe, Sasha’s idea of bringing her along with us was not such a bad idea at all.

“Two Orange Juice please,” I said to the waiter. “5 beers,”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” My girlfriend, Sasha, held my arms. “And what are you trying to do? Get you drunken Mr. Horan?” she asked. I looked to her.

“No,” I answered as I pinched her cheeks. “Just one, okay?”

‘Promise me that you won’t get yourself drunk this time babe,” she said as she pinched my nose. I nodded. I looked to Harry and Alyson who we’re laughing and talking. It’s obvious that they are so attracted with each other.

“It seems that Harry likes Aly,” Sasha said. I looked to her and she was actually smiling.

“And it seems that your friend Aly likes Harry as well,” I said. “Their feelings are actually mutual,”

“You’re right. It’s pretty obvious with their body language,” Sasha said. ‘And I am so happy now for my bestfriend,”

‘You should be,” I said and kissed her cheeks. “And your bestfriend is so lucky to have you as a real bestfriend,”

“She is the bestfriend that I ever had. The real bestfriend who is always there to be with me, when I talk about you, when I talk shit about you,” She said and she placed her hand in her mouth, her eyes widened.

“So,” I smirked. “While my back is turned, my girlfriend is talking some shit behind me,” I grinned.

“I am really sorry,” she said. “Because there are just those times that you suddenly make me piss off,”

“I understand babe,” I said and kissed her lips. When our lips parted, she smiled at me. Then I turned my head to Harry and Alyson. And as if on cue, Alyson turned and our eyes met up. She smiled at me and turned her head back to Harry who was talking even the noise was so loud.

I realized that I suddenly became addicted to Alyson’s smile.

Alyson’s POV

I caught Niall smiling at me. I don’t know why, but every time our eyes met, something is sparking inside. Not that much. It’s like a firework, you are still lighting it to explode and fire to the sky.

“Are you listening to me?” Harry asked me. His words snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Uh, sorry. Can’t hear that much with this kind of noise,” I lied. Phew. “What is it?”

“I said, I was happy to meet you,” Harry said with a grin.

“You’ve been saying that since we saw each other this day for the very first time,” I said. “I counted it and it’s giving me Goosebumps,”

“It’s just that… to be honest… I didn’t really expect that I would get along with you,” Harry said and I nodded in awe.

“I see,” I spoke with a smile. “It’s normal. That’s how you find it at first but there are times that you end up wrong,”

“I agree,” Harry said. I was fanning myself and Harry noticed. “Am I that hot?”

“Excuse me?” I looked to him as I stopped fanning.

“I mean, are you okay?” He asked me. I shook my head.

“Not,” I answered. “I can’t breathe,” I added and fanned more.

“Are you serious?” He asked me as he held my hands to make sure that I am fine. “You’re so cold,” he added and he stood up from his seat.

“Because… I can’t breathe… and my chest hurts,” I said slowly between breathes. He looked to me worriedly.

“I’ll tell the others,” he said and he took a step but I stopped him.

“No,” I said. “Let’s just go out together,” I suggested. “Don’t disturb the others,”

“But…” Harry started.

“Let us just go now. I will die because I have a shortness of breath now,” I said in a straight sentence without taking a second to breathe. He then helped me up. But I was a bit getting dizzy. Standing up is hard. I placed my hand over my forehead and the next thing I knew…
