This Is Us

It's the Circle of Life...

Niall's POV:

I heard Nicholle and Louis making up last night, after their blow-up at the ice-rink. I woke up this morning with a slight headache. Sadly, we have an extra 4 hours of rehearsal ahead of us today making it a total of 8 hours of rehearsal. Ugh! Why did we have to skip rehearsal yesterday? I got up and dressed after taking a quick trip to the bathroom first. I walked out of room and into the kitchen. I grabbed a granola bar and ate peacefully. i couldn't help but think about Nicholle. Her and Harry. Ugh. Gives me shivers down my spine just thinking about them together. I'm siding with Louis on this one. Harry is just not the right guy for Nicholle. I think she deserves someone so much better. Take me for an example. I chuckled at my thoughts. I threw my granola bar wrapper in the trash can and sat on the couch in the living room. I checked the time on my watch. We have to leave in half an hour. I just want to get these 8 hours of rehearsal over with.

Zayn's POV:

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!!" shouted Mary. Mary is our substitute choreographer since our original one couldn't make it. I moved to the beat, following the instructions.

"Ok, everyone take 10!" warned Mary.

I walked over to my bag that I had brought with me and set on the floor when I got here. I pulled out my water bottle and took a nice long swig. I put my bottle back in the bag and walked over to the lads. Niall was explaining how to do the last few steps to Liam. Louis and Harry were just watching with amusement dancing in their eyes. I searched all around the room for Nicholle. I found her in a seperate room reading what looks like a text book.

"Life and Sciences?" I questioned?

"Yes. I've always been curious about life....first you're born, then you grow up, get a job, work all your life until you become an old hag and retire-IT'S THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!" exclaimed Nicholle.

"Yes Nicholle, it's the circle of life." I responded chuckling at her sudden outburst.

Nicholle POV:

So what? I'm a science geek. Science has always been interesting to me. After talking to Zayn an hour ago, I went back to my text book, taking brief glances from time to time. I decided I was gonna take a glance this time and what I saw was sp devastating.....I got up and sprinted to the big crowd surrounding the scene. I felt tears prick the back of my eyes.....I hope he's okay and that this is really just a dream i'm having, since in reality, I fell asleep for reading my text book and being in the studio watching the boys rehearse for too long. I pinched myself and turns out it was real....but oh how I wish it wasn't.

A/N: SO SORRY I DIDN'T POST THIS YESTERDAY. I got home really late and had a crap load of homework to do when I got home. Once I was finished I just went straight to bed. But here's the chapter I was supposed to post yesterday.
