A Haunting Past (One Direction FanFic)

Unexpected

All of a sudden the doors to the restaurant fly open and a mob of girls came running. The boys quickly stand up and Harry grabs Alice's hand and begins to drag her. Awe, they are so cute. I then feel warm fingers on mine and I can feel myself being dragged away from the mob. I look up to see blonde hair and blue eyes looking back at me. Niall Horan is holding my hand! I am in a state of shock as Niall looks over at me with urgent eyes and says "Come on, Beth!" That's when my feet kicked into gear and I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. We all ran down the streets and turn into a small alley. I couldn't see Alice or the boys any longer. Niall pulls me behind a dumpster to get away from the crowd.

Wait. I'm alone with Niall behind a dumpster! Not the exact place I dreamed of to be alone with him, but I really don't mind. I then feel a hand rest on my back. This sent electric waves through my body. I feel so safe with him.

"Everything will be alright" his sweet voice says. I look at him and smile. "Are you scared?" Niall asks.

"A little, I guess. I mean I don't usually get chased by a mob of girls everyday." I say a bit shyly. He chuckles. His laugh is so adorable. I feel butterflies fly in my stomach whenever I hear his voice.

"Yeah, I still can't get used to it myself." he says with a heavy Irish accent. He then puts his arm around me and pulls me into his side.  I can smell his sweet cologne and it intoxicates me. "This dumpster isn't that big," he begins. "Sorry if this is uncomfortable but we can't risk you being seen." he states.

"O-oh, it's fine." I nervously smile at him. Then we heard the sound of that mob of girls getting louder. They were getting closer. I suddenly got the chills and lightly twitch in his arms and he looks down at me with an understanding face.

"It's alright, I'll keep you safe." I can feel the heat rising in my cheeks and shyly look at my feet.

"Psst!"

"Do you hear that?" I ask Niall.

"Psst.. Hey Beth!" a voice says.

"Yeah, I definitely heard that." Niall says in a freaked fashion. I look over and see Alice staring at me in the shadows. Creepy much!?

"What?" I yell/whisper.

"Aren't you guys adorable!" she whispered back.

"You guys will make a cute couple!" I hear Harry's thick accent. Yet again, I feel the heat rising to my face and immediately cup my cheeks, trying to hide it. I shoot daggers at Alice with my icy stare and I can hear the two culprits giggling. Instinct took over and I raised my right hand, flipping Alice off. I suddenly feel my body shake as Niall laughs at my response, next to me.

His grip on me tightens as he leans in and whispers, "Don't worry, we'll get them back." The breaths that escaped his lips tickled my ear and sent shivers down my spine. As he backed away, he let out another chuckle.

I looked over to Alice, the darkness made it hard to make out her figure but I could still notice the gesture she was making. This girl, was biting her thumb at me! (A/N Shakespeare reference)

"Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?" I ask in an incredulous manner.

"No I do not bit my thumb at you sir but I do bite my thumb.... Sir." She quickly responds. A few seconds go by before we all laugh again. We've been doing a lot of that tonight.

A/N Hey! Short chapter, I know. But because of that and the fact that I updated late, I will post another chapter tomorrow night! Yay! Thanks for the support guys! <3
