Chapter 7: First real laugh

Bel's P.O.V:

"So what do you say? Wanna go with me sometime?" The usual crooked smile stretched across his face.

"That'd be great!" I spoke as he parked in the parking lot. Walking away from the car I realized that were at a cliff. It had a breathtaking view as I closed my eye lids, feeling the green soft grass brush my feet as I removed my converse and cold refreshing air hit my body.

"This is..." I spoke, not really sure of what to say. I feel so alive, like that part of me that was dead isn't really dead anymore.

"Amazing?" He asked, as I felt his body standing next to me. I smiled softly.

"More like, breathtaking.." I answered as I felt his body shift from next to me, feeling somebody standing behind me. I raised my arms to the air, as he wrapped his arms around my waist. As he started humming a familiar kind of melody. That's when it hits me.

I landed on my bum, laughing like there is no tomorrow. Clenching my stomach as giggles left my lips, I looked above me to find Niall staring at me with confusion, still a wide smile painted on his lips. As I wiped a few tears away, I stood up by myself as he smiled even brighter.

"Why are you smiling creepily?" I asked, as he blinked before answering.

"That was the first time I've ever heard you laugh truly" He answered and I froze.

It is the first time I truly laughed in.... Years? What happened to me? It's not that I'm complaining and stuff but when Niall is around, he brings out the happy me. I thought that side was dead but apparently it isn't.

"Oh" I spoke, coming out more like a whisper than an answer. He frowned a bit, caressing my cheek making me turn my gaze to him, staring into his deep oceanic eyes, I felt like an absolutely weird feeling, in a nice way.

"What's wrong?" He asked as my gaze shifted to the green grass tickling my feet.

"It's just.. When I'm with you, it's like I'm not me anymore. It's not the me that developed after the sad tragic, it's the me where I used to smile to everyone including myself" I, and the first time, spoke the tragic truth. It's just that, I'm afraid I'll loose him. That he'll find someone better then leave me. But course, I can't tell him that.

"Is that a bad thing?" He asked, a worried look on his face.

"No, it's a good thing" I smiled making him relax a bit.

This boy drives me mad, Their can't be a day I would survive without him. That's why I'm afraid. But he shows the real me, the me I covered for years because it's my fault. But he made me laugh. It was the first real smile in ages! Surprisingly, I think I'm falling in love.
