How it All Started (A One Direction fanfiction)

Chapter 12

Before I knew it, it was already midnight. I think the fact that I'm so exited helped me pass time because I was just thinking about everything that could happen. And what happened tonight.

He's so cute how he put his arm around me and let me snuggle into his shoulder and ugh I'm turning into a priss. I've never been like this over anyone before, ever. The guys that I've liked in the past were all because of how they look, nothing more. They were all good-looking, but when you get down to their personalities, they're ugly. They were all rude and arrogant, not caring about anyone but themselves. Niall, on the other hand, is like a complete opposite. I think unlike the other guys I'm attracted to Niall mostly because of his personality. The second I met him, he was kind and caring to me. I still remember the day we left for the trip, he took my bag for me and brought it to the car. At first I was mad because I thought it was because he thought I couldn't do it myself. But now looking back on it, he was just being a gentlemen. Gosh, it seems like that was forever ago...

I need to get to Niall now. I do the same as yesterday, brush through my hair and exit the tent making as little noise as possible. When I get outside, Niall'a not there like yesterday so I figure he must already be by the lake.

I start making my way down the path and to the dock. The sky is clear once again and I smile to myself, it's just so pretty. Then I look back to the path and realize how dark it is. Yesterday I was walking with Niall so it didn't seem too bad but now, I'm actually pretty frightened. I've never been a fan of the dark and walking alone basically in the woods doesn't help.

I try to make out my surroundings, but I really can't so I'm just walking by instinct. I think I'm almost there, at least I hope. Before I can walk any further, I trip on a branch and fall hard on my ankle, causing me to yelp in pain.

I hear footsteps in the distant, getting louder and louder until I can make out Niall's outline running towards me.

"Are you okay!? What happened!?" Niall says frantically as he kneels by my side.

"I tripped and landed on my ankle." I say as I clutch onto my ankle to relieve some of the pain.

"Did you break it? Are you okay?"

"I think I just twisted it and yeah, I'll be okay. Thanks though." He reaches out his hand and swings me up, and like last time, I fall right into him.

"Sorry." I mumble as I look up to see his deep blue eyes shining down at me.

"That's fine." He says quietly as we just stand there, wrapped in each others arms.

We just stand there staring at each other, and slowly, the space between us gets smaller and smaller. We're so close, I can feel his hot breath on my lips. We close the gap and connect our lips. It's like a movie, it really does feel like fireworks exploding between us. He puts his hands on the small of my back, and I wrap mine around his neck. Our lips move perfectly in sync, and my heart beings to flutter. I can't believe this is really happening. We slowly back away from the kiss, leaving me wanting more.

I don't really know what to do right now, seeing that we just kissed and are now just standing here. As if he could read my mind, he lets go of my and takes my hand in his as we walk down the remainder of the path towards the lake.

I can't stop smiling the whole way there, and I think he can tell as he pokes me in the cheek with his other hand. I giggle softly at this, and poke him in return.

"Hey, what was that for?" He laughs quietly.

"You poked me so I poked you. Simple." I say like it couldn't be more obvious.

"It's like you're Louis twin or something." He laughs.

"I might as well be I mean we basically grew up together." I laugh back as we approach the dock. We walk down it and to the edge like last night, dipping our feet in the water. He slides his hand around my waist and pulls me closer towards him, and I rest my head on his shoulder. I feel like my heart is pounding out of my chest every moment I'm with him, and it's even worse now in the best kind of way.
