A Haunting Past (One Direction FanFic)

Beginning of "Nieth" (Niall and Beth's ship name)

(Beth's POV)

I slowly turn around and look at Niall. "Sooo....we are locked out of the room." I admit. He looks at me with a frantic face.

"What about my ice cream!?" He asks really loudly.

"Oh no! It will melt!" I say anxiously. That will cause a big mess and Alice will get mad. This isn't the first time this has happened either. I constantly lock myself out and I know how annoyed Alice will get this time.

"Let's just knock on the door." Niall suggests.

"No! We can't do that!" I scream a bit too loudly. I clasp my hands over my mouth, hoping I didn't wake any of the other people living in our building.

"Well why not?" He asks with a bit of amusement in that amazing Irish accent of his.

"Alice will kill me for forgetting my key again."

"What about Lou?"

"The knocking alone would wake her up if she hasn't already by my stupid screaming a moment ago." Niall chuckled a bit.

"Well, what do you suppose we do now, then?" He asks me. Suddenly we both hear talking coming from down the hall.

"Niall is so freaking cute!" A high pitched voice says.

"Really? Because Harry is so much hotter with those sexy tattoos. I could just do things to that boy." The second girl's smirk could be heard in her voice. My face contorted in disgust. That was disturbing. Wait.....

Crap! Girls! I have to hide Niall before they see him. I quickly grab his hand and run down the hall.

"Hey! Is that Niall!?" the first girl yells and both of them begin to chase after us. Crud! Where can I hide him? What do I do!? I can't let them find him!

"Hey. It'll be alright." Niall says to me, seeing that I am mentally freaking out. "Here! This'll work." He says, pulling me into a community bathroom. Not all of the rooms have bathrooms. Don't ask me why because I honestly have no clue. We stop running once we are in the bathroom and to my horror, I see a urinal right next to me.

"Why the boys bathroom!?" I whine. I have never been in the guys bathroom and I can tell you right now, the rumors are true. This place is gross to say the least and the stench burns my nostrils. There are stains of God knows what on the walls and it is taking everything I have not to scream in horror and run.

"Because the girls won't follow us in, I mean look at this place. It's f*cking gross!" he replies.

"Funny, I was thinking the same thing." I begin to walk around the bathroom trying to get as far away from the urinals as I can. Those things kind of creep me out and these particular ones were not very clean. Urine stains are on each of them and the stench is really getting to me. I walk to the other side of the room to find mirrors. Oh jeez! What is that in the mirror!? Oh wait, it's me. My hair is a tangled mess and I have huge bags under my eyes. Great. Just great. I look like this in front of Niall freaking Horan.

"You look fine." Niall says, reading my thoughts. The blood slowly creeps to my face.

"To tell you the truth, you are really pretty." Niall smiles at me and my face goes completely red. "Especially with that adorable blush." Ah! What do I say!? Does he really think this? Probably not, he is just too nice. Did Alice put him up to this? I swear if she did I will -

"Hey, don't be nervous." I look to my hands and realize they are shaking. Crap! Calm down, Beth. I look up into his eyes. A small smile forms on my face when I realize how comforting they are.

"Th-thanks." I shyly manage to say.

"Do you want to play a game?" He suddenly asks.

Well that was random. "Um..... sure." I reply. "What game?" Man, I need to stop stuttering.

"21 questions" he says with a cheeky grin.

"That sounds fun" I smile at him. My nerves begin to leave and I feel more comfortable. "You start."
