Holding Onto Sanity (1D)

Late Night Chats

Niall's POV

"Niall... Wake up honey." A feminine voice hummed in my ear. I groaned and rolled onto my side and slowly opened my eyes. All I could see was white. The blinding kind of white.

"It's so bright." I squinted my eyes.

"I know baby, but don't you want to see me?" Her voice was sweet and soft.

"I do, but I can't. Where are you?" I tried looking for her but all I could see was the harsh light.

"Wait just a second longer and i'll be there." Her voice grew distant.

"Victoria? Don't leave me." I searched for her. "Where are you?"

"I'm right here." Her voice grew masculine and a harsh looking man popped up in front of me.

Me eyes opened quickly and I lashed around trying to get away. My breathing was irregular as I kicked my legs around. I suddenly fell and hit the floor with a loud thud. I looked to my right and saw a tired looking Louis.

"Hey mate calm down." He yawned. I probably looked like a deer in the headlights.

"Wha-a-a" I looked around.

"You must've had a nightmare. Go back to sleep, we'll be in Switzerland in a hour." He said quietly. I stood up and realized we were on the bus. I nodded and he turned around and fell back asleep. I climbed back up on my bunk and closed my eyes. I tossed and turned, it seemed impossible to sleep. So I hopped off of my bunk and walked out to the part of the bus with a table and video games and kitchen. I took a seat and laid my head on the table in front of me.

"Why the fuck-" I groaned before being interrupted.

"Why the fuck what?" I heard my mate yawn. I looked up and saw my messy haired friend standing in front of me.

"Oh, hey Liam." I waved slightly.

"Hey blondie, why are you still up?" He walked over to the mini fridge and pulled out two waters and tossed one to me.

"Just couldn't sleep." I caught it and twisted the cap off. Liam sat next to me and took a drink out of his. I just stared at my open bottle and sighed.

"I see. What's wrong? You seem out of it." He took another drink.

"Nothing, i'm fine." I shook my head.

"Then why aren't you drinking your water?" I felt his eyes stare at me.

"What are you talking about? Of course i'm drinking it." I chuckled awkwardly putting the bottle to my lips and swallowed some water.

"Okay, well i'm gunna get back to sleep, don't stay up too much longer, we're gunna get there pretty soon." He stood up and closed his bottle.

"Liam, can I ask you something?" I closed my eyes and sighed.

"Uh, yeah sure anything mate." I heard him sit back down.

"Well, the reason i'm awake, is cause I had a nightmare, as childish as that sounds." I spoke.

"Oh please, you four are my best friends, nothing is considered childish around you." He chuckled. "What were you gunna ask me?"

"Have you ever had something that affected you so much, that it started to get to your head? Like, mess with you?" I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"Of course. You just have to ignore it and not let it get to you. But try to get some sleep." He set his hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks Liam. I'll try." I smiled at him.
