Taciturn (Niall Horan)

CHAPTER 6 - Shits Do Happen

Niall's POV

We've been waiting for about forty-five minutes for our flight to Christchurch. We're all waiting in this private lounge here in the airport.

Harry is sitting in the corner; his eyes closed. He's really knackered. Commonly, Zayn is the sleepy one but he switched roles with Harry. Zayn's leaning on the wall; having his own little world. He's on his phone, texting, and I bet its Perrie. Louis and Liam are playing football. Where did they get that ball?

While me, I'm sitting here in the row of chairs. Actually, I'm waiting for Laura to be here and bring the documents for Nona. I even invited her to come but she doesn't seem to reply about it. I just wish she had read my message for her.

Nona is sitting two-seats apart from me. She's still wearing the jacket handed by Gail earlier. She's hugging herself and remains silent the way she really is. She's zoning out; thinking so deeply.

"Nona, I bought you coffee." I watched Gail approached her with the cup in her hand.

But Nona didn't even dare to look at her. She continues to look somewhere; faraway from here.

Gail sighed and sat next to me. She handed the coffee to me that supposed to be Nona's.

"I wonder what really happened," Gail talked as if she's talking with no one in particular.

"What do you mean?" I sipped in the hot liquid carefully, avoiding my tongue from burning.

"She looks traumatized." Gail continues to talk not looking at me, instead at Nona.

"About what?" I keep questioning.

"I don't know. How do I suppose to know? I'm just having my own analysis here." She answered.

"You could be a psychic. You could read people." I told her.

"I think it's just my own instinct, Nialler. I mean, look at her. She won't be like that if there's nothing wrong happened." She explained again.

This time, I look at Nona and try to let Gail's words sink in. Gail might be right; Nona won't be like that, and maybe it's about what happened. Then I remember what Laura told me two days ago. About Nona could talk before. I have a feeling that what Laura said could have something to do with Nona's situation right now. My head wants to explode with all the questions and thinking it carries. I'm really worried about Nona. I just can't help.

"NONA!?!"

Nona gets back to reality from her thoughts and so I am.

"NONA!?!" someone shouted again.

"Who's that?" Gail asked.

I stood up to look for the source of the shouting. The boys even stop from what they're doing. Harry woke up from his deep slumber.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, squeezing his eyes.

Nona is still on her seat not moving but you can see in her eyes the surprise. I think she recognized the voice.

"Nona!" and finally we have faced to face with the owner of the voice. Luke.

"Let's go. We need to go home." He ranges to Nona's direction but I stop him to get near her.

"Why are you even here?" I asked him standing still, looking at him eye to eye.

"Get out of my way if you don't want to get hurt." He threatened angrily.

"Luke, stop this." Laura tries to pull her twin. She's here.

"How come you got here when we have securities? You don't suppose to be here." I told him.
