Seeing You Again

Chapter 24

Lily's POV

"So what are we doing for this hour?" I ask Niall as we walk. Niall stops and smiles at me. "What's the one thing everyone knows about me?" He asks and I think. "You like food?" I ask and Niall laughs. "That's true. But I also love soccer." He says and I look at him confused. "We can't play soccer, there's only 2 of us." My face scrunches up as I try to think of what we could be doing.

"Well, I know how much you love competing so we're going to have a skills challenge." Niall says, smirking evilly. "You're on Horan." I smirk at him.

"To the mess hall!" Niall yells and I look at him confused. "Why the mess hall?" I ask and he sighs. "Isn't it obvious?" He asks and I sigh. "Obviously not." Niall smiles. "Well unless you want to try to play with a soccer ball in your boots, on ice." I glare at him. "Point taken, now lets go." Niall laughs before coming up behind me and picking me up in his arms.

A loud laugh escapes me, causing me to throw my head back onto his shoulder. "Niall, what are you do?" I ask, once I've calmed down a bit. "Lily, once again isn't it obvious." He sends me a cheeky grin. "I'm carrying you." I roll my eyes. Oh Niall.

We reach the mess hall and Niall sets me down. He races off to one of the back rooms while I take my boots and coat off. Seconds later he returns with 2 soccer balls. I smile, walking over to him as he sets the balls down on the ground. In 1 swift motion he kicks the ball over to me. I stop it quickly, smirking at him.

"What's our first challenge?" I ask him, batting my eyelashes innocently. "If you must know." He says, acting like it's taking a ton of effort to tell me. "We're going to start with some juggling. Whoever drops the ball first loses." I nod my head, pretending to act scared.

I've got this.

"On 3. 1... 2...3!" Niall says and I drop the ball onto my knee, when it comes in contact with it the ball bounces straight up again, high enough so I can hit it with my head. I continue to hit with different parts of my body until I hear a loud thump next to me. I look over quickly to see Niall on the ground and his ball rolling away from him. Smirking I catch my ball before stopping Niall's and returning it to him.

"Having problems staying on your feet?" I ask him, extending my hand for him to take. "Maybe." Niall says and I laugh. "You know, you might have a better chance of beating me at eating." I say and his eyes light up at the mention of eating.

Niall and I run around the kitchen, grabbing all the good tasting food we can carry before bringing it out to the tables.

Once we have it all we line divide it up and sit at opposite sides of the table.

As I sit and devour the food in front of me I can start to feel sick. I stop eating and stare ahead of me, feeling the colour drain from my face. Niall stops eating a few seconds after.

"Lily, are you okay?" He asks and I shake my head.

Quickly I cover my mouth with my hand and take off sprinting towards the bathroom.

Whenever I have to throw up I can run faster then Olympic athletes to get to the bathroom.

When I reach the bathroom I run to the nearest stall and throw myself down in front of the toilet. I flip the lid up before everything in my stomach makes a reappearance.

I hear the door open a few seconds later but I don't check to see who it is.

Gentle fingers come and grab my hair away from my face and some rub my back. I recognize the soothing voice as Niall's.

Once I'm done puking my guts out I sit back, wiping the sweat that collected on my forehead away. Niall smiles at me and I return it with a weak one. 

"I guess this means you win." I say and he laughs. That's the one thing I love about NIall is his laugh, the way he throws his head back and how his eyes light up and crinkle ever so slightly. 

I didn't even realize that I was staring at him until he mentioned it. "Lily are you okay? Do I have something on my face?" His hands immediantly go to his face and I smile shaking my head. "No it's just that I never realized how much I'm going to miss you." Niall smiles at me before engulfing me in a hug. 

"I'm going to miss you too Lily." Niall whispers in my ear, stroking my hair. 

When we pull apart I look at my phone, seeing that I have a text from Louis. 

Meet me by the skating rink at 12:12.

Looking at the time I see it's 12:00 already. 

"Well we only have 2 minutes left and I have to meet Louis by the skating rink so do you want to accompany me there?" I ask and Niall smiles. "I would love to." He says in his best posh voice. 

He helps me onto my feet and we walk out to where our stuff is. 

As we walk towards the skating rink, the snow crunching underneath our feet, I can't help but wish that we could stay here forever. 

"What are you thinking about?" Niall asks me as we near the skating rink. "About how I'm never entering a food eating contest ever." I say, forcing a smile. Niall laughs at me. 

"Here you are." Niall says handing me over to Louis. "Thank you Niall." I say, giving him one last hug. "Don't let Louis get out of hand." He says and I laugh. "Louis? Never." I throw my head back in laughter. "Hey! I can hear you." Louis says, crossing his arms over his chest like a pouting child. 

"I know Lou, now lets go." I say, grabbing his hand and letting him lead me into the rink.
