How it All Started (A One Direction fanfiction)

Chapter 17

A sigh of relief floods over my body as I see their dark outlines coming closer and closer to Niall and I. I honestly thought we had lost them, that something had happened to them. If anything did, I would never forgive myself.

"BROOKEEEEEE! NIALLLLL!" Louis shouts as he starts running full speed in our direction. Since it's dark, I don't think he can see us which causes him to run right into me and knock me over. His body is literally crushing me, and I can't even get any words out to make him get off of me. I don't really understand why he won't just get off, but all I know is he needs to get off of me.

"Hey there Louis," Niall says in a fake scolding tone, "Get off of my girlfriend." He says, putting an emphasis on girlfriend. Leave it to Niall to find a way like this to tell everyone the news.

"Wait... Your WHAT?! YOU FINALLY ASKED HER?!" Louis shouts as he pushes off me and up to his feet, leaving me laying on the ground.

"Yup." Niall says proudly as he smiles widely. Louis gives him a high five and pat on the back, then starts to talk to him quietly. I watch them, and suddenly see Niall's face losing the smile and having a more serious look. He gives Louis a quick head nod before starting to walk over to me.

"You okay there?" He smiles down at me as he extends a hand, which I graciously take.

"I'd be better if Louis didn't just run me over. Anyways, what was that?" I ask him curiously.

"What was what?" He says, obviously knowing what I'm talking about.

"You know, that." I say as I wave my hands in the direction that they were just in.

"Oh, nothing." He says quietly as he looks away and tries to make this conversation disappear.

"It was something, tell me?" I practically beg as he looks back up at me and I give him a puppy face.

"God dammit don't do that." He whines and stops his feet like a child.

I stand there, waiting for him to answer me as he finally speaks up.

"He told me that if I hurt you he's going to kick my arse and some other things that I would not look forward to."

"Leave it to Louis to go all big-brother like." I laugh as I realize how much Louis really does care about me. It makes me feel good knowing that he'll always have my back, and that he'll always be here for me. I hope he knows that it's the same for me too, i'll always stick with him.

"Yeah. But it's not like I'm going to do anything like that anyways, so I have no need to worry. You know that, right?" He says, staring me straight in the eye.

"Of course I know that. Now lets go see the others." I reply as I take his hand in mine and we make our way to back to the rest of the group. Having his hand in mine feels so right, I think, then think of the lyrics to their song Little Things and the line "your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me" and start laughing my head off. Niall just looks at me like I'm mad, which I am, but more confused because he has no idea what's going on.

"What's so funny?" He asks, looking down at me.

"N-othing." I try to get out, which is hard because of how hard I'm laughing. I know I shouldn't think this is so funny, but I do. But I mean Niall seems to think everything's pretty funny too so he shouldn't be judging me.

"Okay then." He laughs as we walk up to the others.

"We'll it's nice to see you two." Harry says as the rest of them nod their heads I'm agreement.

"Same to you. We thought you guys were dead." I reply for both Niall and I.

"No, YOU thought they were all dead, I knew they were fine." Niall says defensively as I feel him stiffen up.
