Limitless (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 24

Mia’s POV

I wake up with a start sitting bolt upright but why, I don’t know, I must have been dreaming about something, but I can’t remember. It’s still dark outside so it must be really early still. I lean down from where I’m sat to check the time on my phone but when I try to turn it on, it won’t and that’s when I remember that it needs to be charged. I sigh and stand up, glad that I haven’t fallen asleep on anyone today, and move through to the kitchen. I look at the clock and see that it’s 5am, great there’s no one to talk to and there’s no way that I’ll be able to get back to sleep now. I walk over to the fridge and pull out the milk, pouring out a glass and putting it back, I then go back into the screening room to grab my phone before making my way upstairs to my bedroom. I flick on the light and wait for my eyes to adjust to the light before putting my phone on charge and turning my laptop on. I click on Facebook to see if Tara’s online but she isn’t but then I remember that it’s Sunday and her family usually like to spend the evening together. I sigh turning my laptop off again and putting it on the floor next to my bed, usually I’d read but today I don’t feel like it so I go and stand by the window. I can still see the stars even though the sun’s beginning to appear over the tops of the houses. I stand there for a while just watching the sun rise but my feet begin to hurt so I decide to move. I swear that my bones creak I’ve been stood for so long. I move to my door and am about to turn in the direction of the stairs when I hear something. I’m still a bit creeped out by the horror film from the night before so this is already freaking me out more than it should. I quickly go back into my room and close the door as quietly as I can before moving to the bathroom and doing the same. I stand in the dark so that they can’t see where I am and my heart’s racing, it’s probably just one of the guys, I really need to stop being such a scardy cat but I still can’t open the door.

I stand behind the door almost frozen with…fear? I really needed to pull myself together. I slowly reach my hand up to the door. I can hear someone is close and deep down I know that I’m letting my imagination get the better of me so I take a deep breath before turning the handle and stepping back into my bedroom, the door still closed, I sigh in relief as it seems that the noises has stopped and go over to my bed and turn the bedside light as fast as I can.

“Mia?” Comes the voice of Harry, making me jump.                                                                                                

“Harry?” I reply, my heart still at a slightly accelerated rate.

“Yeah, are you ok? It’s just I woke up and saw that you weren’t there.” He says and I stand up and move to the door, turning the handle and opening it to reveal Harry who is wearing only boxers as he has every night that he’s stayed here just like the others.

“Are you ok?” He repeats and I nod, opening the door further to let him in as I go back to sit on my bed. “Why are you up so early?”

“I could ask you the same thing.” I reply with a smile, all previous fear now gone.

“Yes, but I asked you first.” He chuckles.

“Ok, well I can’t sleep. You?”

“Neither, but I don’t know why.” He says, smiling at me.

“So you decided to come and scare me half to death?” I ask him cheekily.

“Wait, you were scared, wow you really are a scary cat huh?” He laughs and I stick my tongue out at him, I’m just glad that nothing seems awkward between us considering what happened. “Actually I’ve been meaning to talk to you.” …I spoke too soon.
