Niall had gotten up in the middle of the night to get a drink. Minutes later, his girlfriend, Sam, hears a commotion on the main level of their shared flat.. She thinks Niall has fallen or hurt himself so she gets out of bed to check.

"Niall, is that you?" Sam says, hiding half of her body behind the wall. She doesn't get a response, but in seconds a dark figure is lunging towards her. She lets out a glass breaking scream, a feeling in the pit of her stomach telling her that it's not Niall.

A gunshot rang through the pitch black air and the dark figure falls by Sam's feet, just before he could reach her. Niall approaches Sam from the darkness, his boyish features are relaxed but it is evident in his eyes that he's more scared than Sam is. He kicks the body with the toe of his shoe, making sure it was dead. He grabs Sam's hand and leads her over the body.

"C'mon, we have to get out of here." He forces a smile at her and gives her a thumbs up so Sam can feel safe with him.
