Christmas Feelings

Alice POV

---------------------------------------

Niall comes back from hugging Harry and smiles at me. I smile back at him and watch the two of them cuddling on the couch. They are so incredibly cute.
"Okay then who's ready for some serious shopping?" Mia laughs.
I join in and we all cheer at this. I quickly grab my jacket and my purse. Then I go back down and intervine my arm with Mias. We walk together to the jeep and then drive to the next supermarket where we get everything we want and more. We pull up in the parking lot and jump out. Mia and me lead because the boys have to stay away a bit but I notice that they are closer than usual. We look around in the store and I find some santa clause hats and show them to Mia. We squeal and buy one for each of us. Then we go into the next store the boys following us all the time. Mia stops and I almost run into her.
"Hey what's up?" I ask her as I see her staring at the letters of the shop infront of us.
"Oooohhhh." I just say.

-----------------------------------

A while after that we find the boys again and smile as we step into the shop. I see Niall looking up smiling. Then something that sounds like thunder echoes throught the halls we instantly all go down except for me who just turns my head in the direction the sound came from. That wasn't thunder that was a shoot. I see a man with a gun shooting into the ceiling a few times getting everyone to lay down. He sees me and points at me with his gun but I'm to shocked to move. Another shot and I got hit by something the pulls me to the gound. I'm waiting for pain but really all I'm feeling is weight on top of me. I open my eyes and see a panting Niall laying above me.
"Are you okay?" He asks stroking through my hair.
"You saved my life." I say looking up into his ocean blue eyes seeing a few sparkling tears in it.
"Ofcourse." He smiles and continues to stroke my hair.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Thank god." I sigh leaning back.
"Now shh I'll look if he's gone."
"No Niall you-"
He lays a finger on my lips and stops my rant.
"Just looking just a second." He leans down, takes his finger away and concects our lips before pulling away and then slowly sits up to look over the shelve. Another shot is heard but Niall is fast enough to put his head down.
"Shit." He mumbles.
"Don't panick it'll be fine." he says as he sees my probably shocked face. So I just nod unable to say something. He turns his head to Harry who crawled to Mia and holds her by her waist. Louis and Liam are a bit away from us but they are fine. Niall and Harry just stare at eachother as if they could talk over a telepathic way. Harry just nod and whispers something into Mias ear. Niall looks at me, pulling me up, hiding me behind him. He get's the phone out of his pocket and calls someone.
"Basil? Are you outside?...Good. Call the police here are robbers... No! Don't come in we got this." Then he hungs up and looks at me.
Then I see Harry standing up and panic.
"What is he doing?"
I ask Niall.
"Trying to get us some time until the police comes."
He whispers back. I wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his shoulder to make me feel save.
"It's okay man. Stay calm I'm unarmed."
I hear Harry say his hands up in surrender. I can see the man dressed in black pointing with his gun to Harry.
"What do you want?!" The man screams. He seems scared.
"Just want to talk."
"Get down again!" The man screams at Harry who gulps. I turn my head away and get Niall closer to me.
"I want you to know that I love you Niall James Horan whatever happens I want you to know that." I quickly say.
He turns to me and smiles.
"And I love you." He smiles and kisses me. Then a gun shot and I hear Mia scream. I pull away from Niall and look at them. Harry just flinched but the bullet wasn't even near him. Mia looks up in shock but Harry smoothes her with his look telling her he's okay.
"Nobody will hurt you." He says in a calm way.
"You need money right? I have money. I'll give you some. Nobody has to be hurt." he carfully let's his hands sink.
I see the man still shaking but he look struggling. I press myself into Nialls back and lay my head on it. He strokes with his thumb over my arm. I look at the man again through a hole shelf. He slowly comes closer but he has his gun still pointed on Harry. I look over to Mia who looks up at Harry but as she gets that I look at her she turns her head to me. I nod with my head to the direction of the man. She looks around the corner and then nods. Somehow I think she knows my plan. I kiss Nialls neck and he looks confused at me but let's me go. I crawl closer to the edge of the shelve and get ready.
"HEY!", we hear a new voice shouting.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?" I look around the corner and there is another man in black who looks at the man with the gun that just arrived between me and Mia.
"I-I-..." the man starts but I just nod to Mia. She takes a deep breath then she kicks him into the legs and brings him to fall. I jump up and take the gun out of his hands then everything becomes slowmotion. My veins are full with adrenalin and I feel like my senses are more sensitive now. I turn to the man in black that just showed up and focus him with the gun then I shoot and everything becomes normal speed again. I shot on the leg exactly were I wanted it to be. I mean I won't kill anyone. Then I point with the gun on the man who lays shocked on the ground.
"Are there any more of you."
He lifts his hand up in surrender and shakes his head. I nod and let the gun sink again and lay it on top of the shelf. Suddenly I here punches and look back at the guy. Mia sits on top of the man and throws her fist into his face.
"YOU..."
Punch.
"LITTLE..."
Punch.
"FUCKBOY!!"
Punch.
"YOU ALMOST SHOT MY BOYFRIEND!!!"
Punch, punch.
Harry chuckles and lifts her up from him. She throws her arms around him and kisses him. He smiles into the kiss and then they hug eachother. I smile at them and turn to Niall who just appeared next to me.
We look at eachother and then he hugs me and I cry into his chest.
"Shh love it's okay."
"You are okay right? Not hurt or anything?" I mumble into his chest as he smoothes me and kisses my forehead.
"I'm completly fine my badass little girl."
I laugh and blush a bit.
"Where did you learn to shoot like that?"
"My grandpa always took my to the shoot training and hunting when I was little." I giggle and cuddle into his chest. I feel him leaning down and then his lips on my ear.
"That was so hot."
"You saved my life I saved yours." I smile and shiver at the feeling of his breath in my neck.
"BOYS!" Someone calls from behind us and I turn around afraid that those are the paps but it's just Basil.
"Basil!" They all cheer.
"Are you okay boys?" He looks worried.
"We are great." Niall smiles.
"Okay boys the paps are outside I'd say we take the back entrance to go out."
They all nod and the police comes in and we talk to them for a short moment. Then we grab our stuff and go out before the press comes in. We sneak into our jeep and start to drive away. I continue to cuddle into Nialls chest and calm my breathing.
"Hey Alice." Louis wispers from the seat infront of me. I look up to him, waiting for him to continue.
"That was really cool of you both." He smiles and looks at Mia who lays on Harrys chest.
"Thank you." The soft roar of the motor, Nialls soft moves on my back and the constanty of Niall chest that slowly rises and falls, make me close my eyes and fall asleep in the van.
