One Direction Imagines

Sleep (Niall)

I woke up, gasping for air and covered in sweat. I thrashed around and out of the sheets and fell onto the carpeted floor sobbing and shaking, unable to calm down. Within seconds I could hear Niall scampering out of bed and to my side.

"Tina! Love, what's going on? Hey... Hey calm down," he whispered, slowly rubbing circles on my back. I rolled over to face him, biting my lip to hold back the tears. "Bad dream?" Niall said softly as he pushed my black wavy hair out off my tear streaked face. I nodded slowly and buried my face into his chest. He wrapped his arms protectively around me and kissed the top of my head.

"Come on princess, let's get you back to bed," he said draping his arm around my waist as I used him as support to stand up. He laid me down gently beside him and I cuddled into him, pulling the blue comforter over us. "Alright spill, what was it about this time?" He asked looking at me contently. I sighed and shook my head.

"I don't want to talk about it," I mumbled, avoiding his ice blue gaze.

"Tell me," he whispered.

"Don't die." I whispered as softly as I could.

"Die? Babe I'm not planning on doing that for a long time."

"I know," I mumble, "But you got on a plane to head back on tour and... And it crashed."

"It's not gonna crash," he replied taking hold of my hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"Yeah," I sniffled, and apologized for waking him up.

"I'm glad you did, at least I know you're ok now. And babe you're safe, I'm not goin' anywhere. I promise," he smiled. I nod.

"One question... Can you sing to me? I think it would help me fall asleep... I'm tired but I'm scared the nightmare will come back," I whisper hoarsely. He gave his crooked grin and nodded.

"Whatever you need, I'll always be willing to do anything for you my princess."

He cleared his throat a little and pulled me in closer to him, his lips almost touching my ear as he began to softly sing to me.

"You tell me that your sad and lost your way,

You tell me that your tears are here to stay.

But I know you were only hiding and I just wanna see ya...

You tell me that you're hurt and you're in pain and I can see it here it's so in shake.

And I just wanna see your smile again,

See your smile again.

But don't burn out,

Even if you scream and shout.

It'll come back to you and I'll be here for you.."

My eyelids had frown heavy and I felt my shoulders slump, the stress relieved by him simply singing to me. "I'll always be here Tina, and I will do anything to keep you just like the song says," he whispered when he had finished the song in his beautiful voice. I smiled sleepily and nodded, feeling him drop a soft kiss on my cheek before a deep and sweet dream filled sleep overcame me.
