Niall’s POV

Okay Niall c’mon man up! You got an amazing girl outside waiting for you and you’re over here over analyzing everything. C’mon. You’re Niall Horan! I started laughing. Seriously was I really talking to myself and encouraging myself to go out and talk to Bella. I was the definition of pathetic. But I mean it was Bella. Beautiful, funny, witty and had the most amazing laugh. Yes, I admit I was very nervous, but in my defense no one, I mean, no one had made me feel like this nor… making me come to the toilet just to encourage myself.

All right. Lets do this. I was in the toilet for about 4 minutes and soon headed out to the bar. Once I reached it, I couldn’t find Bella. The first thing I did was look out to the mass of people dancing, but I couldn’t find her. You’ve got to be kidding me. Did she ditch me for another bloke? Was I that bad? I couldn’t think straight but then again I had just drunk many shots of vodka. That was a bad idea.

“Hey have ya seen the lass I was with a few minutes ago?” I asked the bartender.

“Nah man sorry. She might of gone to the loo, but I’m not sure.”

“Its cool, thanks!” I responded. I called her phone but she wouldn’t answer. What if she left? But she’s new here. What if she can’t find her way home? What if she gets lost? Oh this is all my fault. I left out of the bar and look both ways and chose to look to the right.

“Bella! Isabella!” I began to scream as I ran. C’mon please be safe. I ran back and decided to go to the left repeating the same actions. No answer. I decided it was best to just call her, again and again. But it would shoot me straight to voicemail. Ugh! What the hell?! After a while I decided to call Caleb.

“Yo what’s up Niall?” He answered at the first ring.

“Hey umm Caleb. I k-kinda have a situation here.” I stuttered.

“Did you take Bella to a club? Cause she doesn’t take drinks very nicely. The first time she ever drank a bit of whiskey and she was-“ I cut him off.

“No uh I can’t find her…” As I waited for Caleb to respond I was still trying to find her. I wasn’t sure where she was. Was she still inside? Was I blowing this out of proportion?

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CANT FIND HER?!” He screamed in my ear. “Niall I trusted you with my best friend. She’s like a little sister to me. What did you do? Did she run away from you? Did you do something bad to her? Niall answer me now!”

Yeap he was pissed off.

“I didn’t do anything wrong, well at least not on purpose.”

“Tell me what happened.” I told him how we went out to the park and then going to eat and lastly heading to the club, where I went to the toilet and she had left when I got back. I mean I don’t think I did anything wrong but I wasn’t sure now.

“Ugh Niall, you better keep looking for her. I'll keep at a look out if she comes by the flat. You look in the area. Please bring her back home safely. You better Niall or I swear you will never be able to have babies.” With that he hung up.

—————————

By the time I had done 5 laps around the block calling for Bella, it was almost 5 in the morning. Truth be told the laps took around 30 minutes because I would think the girls that passed by coming out of the club were Bella but they weren’t.  I gripped my hair and ran my hands down my face for the, what 1000th time, in the past few hours. I hadn’t heard from Caleb all day so she probably wasn’t back home. I had called the lads but they hadn’t seen her, neither had El, and she was getting worried. I decided to go back to my flat, shower get changed, eat and keep looking for her. I had to find Bella no matter what.
