"I am not getting in the wheelchair"

"Yes you are"

"No!"

I huffed. He was like a little kid.

"Niall James get your butt in that wheelchair now"

He just crossed his arms looking away.

"Don't make me tickle you" I warned, stepping closer. He ignored me.

"You leave me no choice," I said before reaching down and tickling him lightly.

"HARRY!" He wailed, squirming around.

"Niall!" I mimicked, before lifting him  up easily.

"No!"

"Yes!" I sighed, putting him in the chair "was that really so hard?"

He just pouted.

I rolled my eyes, grabbing the handles and pushing him along the corridor. It had been two weeks since the incident, two weeks since Luke...

I looked down at Niall biting my lip. Should I tell him? What would happen if I did? For the first week he'd been an emotional wreck, obviously scarred by the whole ordeal. He'd visited a therapist a few times and would continue to do so until he recovered. Would telling him make things worse? Would he hide back in his shell when I'd just coaxed him out?

I signed a form quickly before steering him out into the car park, watching him look up at the sky in glee. No, I couldn't risk telling him and everything going wrong.

"Where are you taking me?" Niall raised an eyebrow as I opened the car door.

"Home."

His face paled and he stared at me for a moment before I realised what I'd said.

"My house," I hurried to correct myself, "I mean, if you want to? We can go somewhere else."

He frowned slightly, "will I be staying at your house?"

My heart thudded, "If you want to. I mean, your stuff's at mine but you can stay with Louis if you want it's totally your choice."

He looked unsure, "Won't I annoy you?"

"What?" I blinked, "how can you annoy me? You're my friend?"

His face brightened and he smiled shyly, "C-can I stay with you?"

"Of course." I helped him into the car, trying to conceal my grin.

Could life get any better?
