Not A Fan(Niall Horan Fanfic)

ch. 17

I sobbed away my tears when something caught my eye. I stopped crying but the tears kept falling as I looked down the hall. It was hazy but I could still see what was going on. I knew it was a memory of some sort. I squinted real hard so I could see what it was and it was Niall and Hannah before Valerie died looking happy. They were kissing at the park and holding hands. One was of them sharing icecream. I couldn't help but be jealous. They honestly looked really good together. It's a shame that Niall is sort of the reason she died. 

I blinked away the tears and walked slowly down the hall. I could clearly see them staring into each other's eyes at the beach. They looked so in love. Valerie's beautiful brown chocolate brown hair flowing in the breeze with Niall's blonde hair staying still since it was cut. I almost started to smile until a image came that made me want to cry. It was so quick I didn't even see it coming. It was a quick 5 second flash of Hannah in her bedroom when Liam jumped out in a mask with a knife and stabbed her in the heart. 

I jumped back and cried all over again. That's how there love story ended. So why wasn't Valerie picked to be his soul mate since they were obviously in love. She told me it was because we had a thing before I died but they had way more of a thing than us. Maybe it was because she was dead for a different reason. Then it all made sense. She wasn't picked for that because she never got a trainer. She died so that Liam could try to claim her. She's meant to be Liam's and I'm meant to be Niall's. Ugh it was all so confusing!

Right after that horrible image the air started to feel cooler and I got goosebumps on my skin. I felt someone touch me and I jumped forward freaking out. "Who is that"? I turned around to come eye to eye with Niall. "How are you here"? He tilted his head confused. "How am I here"? I nodded. "I thought you..didn't believe in me anymore. And why are you paler than usual"? Then my eyes went wide and my heart stopped. Not that I have a heart. "I'm dead". My lip trembled with fear. "How-how are you dead"? He bit his lip. "I killed myself". I made a disgusting face at him even though he would have died in the end. "Why? Why would you do that"? He stepped forward and put his hand in mine.

We could touch now that he was a ghost. "Because I wanted to be with you. I knew you couldn't see me but it wasn't because I didn't believe in you. I was at the gates. The angels told me I had to come for you but that's all they said. I died for you Courtney. I really like you and I want to spend my time with you. I knew you were comng back for me so we could come into the dark and I figured that I had to die at some point and I didn't want to keep you waiting". I blinked in confusion. How did he know all of this? 

"I'm a ghost whisperer. Remember"? I nodded and wrapped my arms around him and gave him a giant bear hug. "I'm so glad your here. It feels like i've known you forever". He chuckled. "It feels like i've known you for a few days. But yet not at the same time". I let go of him and grabbed him hand. "Come on. I need to go rescue my friend". He went stiff at that and I knew he read my mind. He knew that my friend was Valerie. His first true love. "Do you still love her"? I managed to say in a whisper. Tears welled up in his eyes and he nodded his head up and down. 

I knew he did and it didn't make me jealous or sad. He said he liked me a lot and he killed himself for me. Not her. That was enough for me. "you'll do fine. I'm sure she will love to see you". He nodded but his voice was raspy and dry when he replied. "But the hard part will be seeing her and knowing we need to move on". 

I knew how he felt and I just grabbed his hand and he followed me. "It's okay Niall. I'm sure you'll be fine. Hey I know how to cheer you up. No more One Direction fan girls and no more making songs. You and Liam are gone. One Direction is falling apart". He laughed and put his arm around my shoulder. "I know you're not a fan". "Nope. Never was and never will be. I'm a fan of you though". 

We walked outside and I realised then that I had no idea what to do now that Niall was dead. Right as I was about to get frustrated from not knowing what to do, Liam the devil himself came flying into view with his dark wings and landing on the ground in front of us. 

He did a dark laugh and smiled evily at both of us. "So I hear he is finally dead. Niall I have some news for you. Your girl is mine. Valerie is all mine". Niall clentched his flst and gripped my hand for protection. "You can have Valerie. I'm happy for her if she actually likes a evil soul like you". He said the next words with so much pain and pride in them at the same time. "Courtney is mine now". He chuckled darkly. "I can't wait for Valerie to hear that her pretty ex.boyfriend moved on to her best friend. She'll really miss you then". 

I was getting irritated and rolled my eyes. "What do we have to do Liam"? "Come with me". He started walking across the road and into a gigantic field which magically appeared. I don't think it was really there but I guess when you're the devil's son, anything is possible. Hell! If you're a ghost anything is possible. 

We walked into the middle of the field when Liam stopped. He instantly stopped making me and Niall have to stop quickly in order to not step on Liam's heels. He spoke his next words slowly as if we were toddlers which made me pissed off but I held it in. The sooner I can save Valerie is the sooner we can all move on from Earth and live happier lives. 

"Alright. i'm going to open up the ground and make a black hole. it's not going to look right but you have to jump through the hole. You won't fall into anything scary i promise. You'll fall into the kitchen of my en suite". We both just nodded and waited patiently for the hole to be created. 

Liam made a circle with his foot and mumbled some words I couldn't understand. I think they were a different language. Then after 3 seconds the ground fell through and a perfectly circular hole was created. He jumped in first leaving us to do it ourselves which  I was thankful for. I looked at Niall and smiled. "Are you ready"? He took a deep breath and licked his lips as if to reassure himself. "I think so". I kissed him on the cheek and walked towards the hole. "Everything will be fine". I put one foot dangling and I pulled Niall closer to the hole. 

He wrapped his right arm around me and whispered "Let's go". Then we jumped. 

SO HOW WAS IT? I TRIED TO MAKE IT GOOD BUT UNFORTUNETLY I FAILED :( WELL ITS SHORT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT THIS TO BE THE LAST CHAPTER. I THINK THE NEXT ONE WILL BE THE LAST! I THINK...YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE :)
