I Was Saved By One Direction

Part 17: Niall Came Back

Eleanor, Liam, and I climb into her car. I buckle, pulling my knees to my chest. Liam hands me a blanket, water bottle, and pack of crisps. I guess they expected me to come back.

I hold the blanket to me tight, leaning my head on the window. The heat was blasting but I didn't mind. My body was an ice cube. I think my fingers had a little bit of frostbite. I wouldn't know, I've had them in my pockets for a while. I have about two crisps on the way back to the boys' house. I drink a forth of the water bottle.

We come to a complete stop in the driveway. I climb out. Liam wraps an arm around me while we go to the front door. Eleanor pushes it open. We walk inside.

"ALLISON!" A familiar voice screams. Danny comes bounding over to me. I crouch down, wrapping my arms around my brother. "I missed you."

"Missed you too." I sniff. My nose had been stuffed up for a while. I most likely caught a cold while disappearing.

"Don't leave again!" Danny cries, digging his head into my neck.

"I'm sorry." I apologize whole-heartedly. "I won't. Not again."

"Your hands are cold." Danny whispers in my ear.

"Sorry." I reply pulling away from his tight grasp. I am hugged many times. The only hugs I didn't get were from Louis and Niall. "So, where is Louis?"

"He locked himself in his room after we told him we were going to get you." Zayn bites his lip.

"Do you have any idea where Niall is?" I raise an eyebrow.

"No. The Irish one hasn't reached out to any of us. Did he call you?" Harry questions me.

"Considering I left my phone here, I wouldn't know." I shrug. Then I bolt upstairs into my room snatching my phone off the bed. I had nearly twenty messages from him! I listen to each of them. The words were so sweet. I sigh, beginning to go downstairs. Total Eclipse Of The Heart plays through the speakers. THAT WAS NIALL'S RINGTONE! I immediately press answer.

"Finally!" He cheers. "Oh my God, you scared the life out of me when you didn't pick up."

"Look who's talking! You fell off the face of the earth!" I shout.

"I know, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you in trouble." Niall tells me.

"No, don't be! It was my fault. I probably should have knew one of the boys would walk in." I respond.

"Where did you go after?" Niall asks.

"I went to the park, then a secret location, and now I'm back at your house because Liam and Eleanor took me here." I explain. "Where did you go?"

"Uh..." Niall trails off. "I don't exactly know where I am."

"What do you mean you don't know where you are?" I fret.

*Niall's POV*

"Well, it's simple. After a fight with Louis I jumped out the window. I knew where I was going for about a day. And then I got lost." I say. She laughs. I loved her laugh.

"If you don't know where you are, then what's around you?" Allison questions.

"Um...I think I'm in Canada." I furrow my eyebrows together. Al was on hysterics on the other side of the phone this time. 

"You would have had to get on a boat." Allison giggles.

"Oh, yeah...then I'm definitely somewhere in England." I nod.

"God, I miss you." Allison replies.

"I miss you too." I smile, running a hand through my soaked hair. It was pouring. It's been pouring since yesterday.

"Can't you use like...GPS?" Allison suggests.

"I wish I would have thought of that a few days ago." I laugh. While keeping the call in progress I go to my GPS typing in the address. "Ok. It looks like I am in...some place called Brixton. According to Navigation Nancy it is one hour and eight minutes away from foot."

"Holy crap Niall!" Allison shrieks. "How are you going to get back? I want to see you."

"I wanna see you too. If I catch a cab I'm only twenty-five minutes away if we hide traffic." I read off of my phone.

"When are you coming back? I want you here if Louis is going to come out of his room and apologize." Allison tells me. I can't help but smile.

"I'll get a little farther into town so I can get a phone book and call for one." I shrug.

"Ok." Allison responds. "Bye Nialler."

"Bye Al." I say.

=============================================================================

*Allison's POV*

"HOLY BALLS I LIVED!" Someone screams. We turn around to see Niall. He looked a lot different from when I last saw him. His clothes were drenched and his hair was greasy. My hair was too, I was waiting to shower.

"Finally." I sigh with relief, getting off the couch. We tackle him. "You are the world's biggest idiot."

"I know I am." Niall laughs.

"You both look like a piece of s***. Go shower." Liam points. Niall and I smirk at each other, getting an idea.

"Ok!" We chirp getting up. Niall grabs my hand dragging me towards the bathroom.

"NOT THE SAME ONE!" Zayn flails his arms in the air. We burst into laughter, falling back on the floor.

"Take a joke mate." Niall shakes his head. I skip upstairs to my room.

After my shower I change into a navy blue long sleeve, jeans, and zebra socks. I use my hair drier then re-braid my hair. It felt better to be clean again.

I hop into my room where Niall was sitting patiently on my bed, fiddling with his thumbs. "Hey." I smile brightly.

"Hi." Niall squeaks standing up.

"You look a little nervous, everything ok?" I ask.

"I did something when I was gone." Niall sighs.

"What?" I furrow my eyebrows together, worried about what he did.

"I-I fell in love..." He trails off. A hunk of my heart breaks off.  "with you." I don't have time to say anything before Niall leans in, brushing his lips against mine. I smile, wrapping my arms around his neck. His arms wrap around my waist.

So this is what it felt like to be cared for.
