You're still the one (Niall Horan fanfiction)

CHAP 24

It was a hot spring day. The sun was high in the sky beaming down on me. I was in field, which was filled with tall steamed daisies. I was in a yellow, mid-thigh flowing dress with a huge sunhat on. I noticed a shallow basket on my left forearm, it was half filled with daisies. I smiled to myself, bending down to pick another daisy when it got suddenly got dark. I looked up at a tall figure walking towards me that must have been blocking the sun. His face was down, looking at his boots and his arms were behind his back. Worry rushed over me, but was subsided when it was Liam’s face that looked up to me. He pulled out a bunch of daisies which he now held in his left hand. He stepped closer to me and bent down, his face an inch from mine. He snaked his left hand around my back pulling my closer towards him… before he dropped the daisies in the baskets and cheekily laughed, pecking me on the nose. I laughed and playfully pushed him off, turning and running away. My giggles seemed to echo through the air. I looked over my shoulder while running to see Liam closing in the distance, his face grinning with joy. His arms snaked around my waist and I fell back towards his chest. He lifted me up in the air and twirled me around. The basket of daisies went flying in the air and I fell down onto Liam’s chest. Everything seemed to freeze and I gazed down into Liam’s hazels eyes. I felt his fingertips dance along my arms and slowly make their way down to my lower back when he flipped us both over so he was now on top of me. I gasped at the quick motion before turning into giggles. The sun was blocked by Liam’s head but the beams were shining out around him, making him look like an angel. I felt the warmth rushing towards my cheeks and I just knew I was blushing.

“You’re so beautiful when you blush.” Liam’s voice filled the air, making the already hot day seem warmer. I looked away. He was resting on his forearms which were either side of my head so his face was like an inch from mine. He grabbed my chin and made me make eye contact with him again. He leant down and slowly pressed his lips to mine. My hands made their way around his neck and into his hair which was growing back in length. The kiss got more intense and his hand went to my thigh and began to climb up and under my dress. There was suddenly a loud crack in the sky which startled me. I sat up making Liam roll off me with a thud. I looked around and the sky was black and the clouds were thick. Another crack of thunder came across the sky and it got really dark. A huge bolt of lightning came down, striking the ground about 50 meters from me, lighting up a huge tree. Someone was standing beside it. There was another flash of lightning and the face of the person lit up. It was Niall. How long had he been there…? Another flash. The look of his face made me realise he had probably seen what had happened which Liam moments earlier. I took a step closer to Niall hesitantly. Another flash of light came down from the sky. I got a clear look of Niall’s face. He was crying. His eyes were a blood shot and his face was crimson. I saw his hands down by his sides which were clenched into tight balls. He looked at me which such disgust. It suddenly turned pitch black and it started hailing down with rain. The rain drops hit my bare skin with such force it actually made it sting. The wind picked up and ripped my dress around hitting hard against my body. I looked around desperately for help. Liam was no longer anywhere to be seen. I shot back around to look for Niall standing by the tree but I didn’t see him. I started running towards the tree in hope he would be there, somewhere, anywhere. A loud pop echoed through the sky and the tree blew up in flames. I began calling out for Niall just in case he was still near the now in-flamed tree. I was running when I tripped on something and fell hard onto the ground. I looked up to see all the daisies were dead and droopy. The ground was now dirt and there was not a blade of grass to be seen. I turned around slowly to see what I had tripped on, when I saw Liam’s body lying lifelessly on the ground. I crawled towards him slowly, holding out my hand, touching him gently. He didn’t move. Another crack of lightning came across the sky and I looked up to see Niall standing there. My eyes immediately went down towards his hands. They were covered in blood.
