Louis' POV

Our way to the stadium is quiet. Well, except for the moments when we were arguing what music are we going to play.

It's not an awkward silence though. I just don't want to ruin the moment.

I tend to look at her every time she's looking into the space. Her eyes is kind of shining, from the sun that is already setting, making her iris glow brown. Sometimes I would catch her smiling, biting her lower lip to hold back her giggles.

I wonder what she's thinking about. Is it about me? Man, I wish it was about me. I want to ask her but I would be awkward.

If you ask me if I'm thinking of her...

Always...

Always will be my answer. That moment when they left our flat. I am sad and nervous at the same time. Sad, because I won't see her face and stuff; nervous, because what if she change her mind and ditched my request.

Good thing is that when I pulled over their house, they went out immediately. My nervousness was replaced by happiness and I can't stop but grin because she actually care.

Kevin was behind her. He is wearing, wait, he's wearing sweatshirt? He waved his hand when I make my way to their porch.

"Her mum said she should be here before eleven", Kevin said smiling a bit.

" Shut up, Kevin!", Julie punched him but missed.

----------------
After hours of driving, we finally made it here. The rest of the boys were there already.

"What took you so long mate? We're waiting here for ages", Liam said.

" I picked her up first", I replied while I put my bag on a retractable chair on the side.

"Okay, it seems that you're all complete", our choreographer, his name, cheered as he made his way trough.

What is the reason that we have a choreographer, we don't dance anyways.

Julie sat beside my duffel bag and watch us 'rehearse'.

" Okay...let's, let's rest", Niall breathed out.

We've been doing this for an hour or two. All we did is run around, play football, sing then play again. Yeah, that's how we do rehearsing.

Niall's POV

Finally, after couple of hours of goofing around we have our rest. I take off my jacket because I was perspiring like a fountain.

I sit next to Julie who was busy scrolling trough her phone. When I sat, she looked at me and hand me a towel.

"Thanks", I said, my hand shook when it made contact with hers.

She locked her phone and eyed me. Confusion starts to linger in her eyes. " What's wrong with you".

That caught me off guard. I don't know what to answer. Pretty straight forward question though.

"I, uhm...", I trailed off. The area seems to be hotter than it used to be.

Her confused face turns into a concern one. " Care to tell me what happened that night?"

"I...", I began but I was cut when Louis appear. Why does he need to ruin everything?

I put down the towel which makes both of them look at me. I think I kind of throw it.

Louis' expression full of concern, but I couldn't care less. I don't need any pep talks now.

"Niall mate, are you okay?", he asked as he tried to pat my shoulder that I swatted.

" No I'm not. I mean yeah, I'm okay".

What's the problem with me? I'm such a loser, waiting for her to notice me. Can't she see the way I look at her. The way I behave when she's around. It's too obvious, isn't it?

I want to tell her. To tell how I feel about her. How she makes me speechless. Her eyes that I will always fall for.

I walk and walk not knowing where I was. I heard voice calling me but I just ignore them.

All of a sudden, I forklift appeared in front of me. I try to move but my legs are shaking. The driver blared the horn but it was too late.

The last thing I knew is that I was lying in the floor. People gather around me. Julie was there. She's crying, murmuring something that I can't understand.

Then it was black everywhere.

Julie's POV

"What's wrong with you?", I blurted. It's not what I expected to say, but yeah now or never.

He shift uncomfortably in his chair. At first he was hesitant, but then he open his mouth to talk...

Then Louis came. Perfect timing Lou.

Niall's eyes bore into Louis. His  sparkling blue was now dark. He then stand up and walked away.

I'm totally confused now. Did I do something wrong? I don't want this way. I want us to be friends. But he's always walking away or sometimes he'll ignore me.

Louis asked me if I want to eat. I've lost my appetite. He continue to talk but I didn't listen. My mind is thinking of Niall.

My train of thoughts was cut when a horn start blaring. I snapped my head to the source of the noise.

A forklift is on a halt. In front of it was a body lying...

No this can't be...

" Niall!", I shouted. Louis hold grab my shoulder but I broke free. I want to go in there.

I ran as fast as I can. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I bent down to have a better view of him. His body is okay except for some bruises on his arms.

I scan his body for more damage, until I saw his legs. It was under the platform of the forklift.

I gently hold his head and rest it on my lap. His eyes flutter open for awhile.

Then he pass out

Argghhh, another late update again. Sorry! Comment your reaction about what happened to Niall. And who is responsible for the incident.

Love,
K
