Chapter 20

Niall's P.O.V

I felt my head pound as if I had been hit in the head with a baseball bar, ran over by a truck, or being beat by pots and pans. I barely cracked my eyes open a millimeter before burning rays came flooding in my eyes. Pain coursed through my head, leaving my heartbeat thumbing in my ears.

I sucked in a sharp breath and let out a small whine as I reached for my head. My arms moved an inch before being constricted. I dared opening my eyes again, to find the said source.

I felt my head throb as sunlight shun in my eyes, yet again. They quickly adjusted to the blinding light as I looked around my room-.

'This isn't my room.' I panicked a bit.

'Pleaseeee, don't tell me I hooked up with some random lass!' I screamed in my head.

I looked around and saw some familiar items I've definitely seen before. I saw a picture of Julie and I from our first date, on the nightstand. I sighed as relief filled my veins.

I glanced down and saw Julie and I curled up together, spooning. She had her head on my chest, her arms hugging my torso. I had my arms wrapped around her small waist, in a protecting manner.

'Wait! When did I get to Julie's?! And isn't she still mad at me?' My face contorted with confusion.

I felt Julie mummer something into my chest, tickling a bit. The corners of my lips flicked upward automatically, forgetting what I was questioning seconds ago.

"No…no, get away!" Julie spoke clearer, as she squeezed tighter, digging her nails in my sides. I hissed, immediately grabbed her wrists, gently pulling them away from me.

'The hell?' I asked myself. Sure, Julie's talked in her sleep before but never clawed nor screamed at me.

"Get away!!! No! NO!" Julie gasped louder as sweat formed on her brow. Twisted and turned, her arms trying to be released from my grip.

"I have a boyfriend!!! Quit! Stop…NO!!" Julie screeched. I quickly pulled her into a hug, whispering in her ear, ignoring my throbbing head.

"Julie…wake up, it's just a bad dream." Julie relaxed before I heard a tiny voice, broken and scared.

"N-ni?" Her voice cracked as she spoke.

"Yes, shhh, it's okay." I soothed her, rubbing her back gently.

"Niall, can we just forget this happened?" Julie questioned, shaking a bit.

'That dream must've really shook her up.'

"Yes, we can. Now lets find me some Advil before my head explodes and us some food." I hugged her before climbing out of bed, bringing Julie up with me. She stayed quiet as I pulled her to the kitchen.

I pulled out a chair for her to sit, which she quickly did. I made my way into the kitchen and found some Advil before I turned on the coffee maker. I located eggs and put some toast in the toaster.

Everything was done, fairly quickly. I placed everything in front of Julie before sitting down across from her.

"Thanks, Niall." She said quietly before she began eating.

Julie's P.O.V

Everything was eerily quiet, and dark. I looked around, noticing I've never been here, instantly throwing me into panic.
