You make me believe in love - A Niall Horan Fanfic.<3

Love? Its not real.

Laurens POV :

Love? Oh. The word gives me chills,something i have never been able to get my head around. How do you fall in love with a person? I mean,yes you love your family of course. But there is not such a thing as love at first site,i dont even know if i believe in falling in love. It just doesn't seem normal or even romotely possible if you want my opinon. Yet there are some many people out there in this world happily and deeply in love. - I though to myself as i ran my fingers along the cold deep blue river at the end of my road. I go there most days,normally with my two best friends Bertie&Sinead but today i felt like i needed some time to myself. I've been griefing alot lately over the tragic death that had been laid open my family of my uncle Fred. I was ever so close to him,we wont spend hours on end together playing board games and testing eachother appalling spelling skills. But now i feel as if those memories have been ripped from my body and slowly fading into the thin dusty air,as my breath flew away with it. I brushed the pebbles from the ground off my as i slowly stood up. I looked around at the sun beaming on the glistening river and took some petals and let them fly away into the distance from my hands. "I love you uncle fred" I whispered to myself as i pressed my hand gently on my chest. I felt a unfamilar hand slowly grasp my shoulder but i did not turn to see who it was. "Are you ok?" The voice lovingly whispered. I turn't around quickly to see and short blonde boy with deep blue eyes that looked like a glistening ocean of crystals that stared at me. I paused and then tried to smile,but my nerves got the better of me. He tooks his hand off my shoulder and gave me a sweet but crooked smile. "Yes...im just..." I paused,my words wouldn't trend. "Are you missing someone?" He said as if he could read my mind. I tried to reply but i was lost in his eyes,they were so bright and beautiful almost not humanly possible. I nodded my head and stared intently down at my shoes in dismay. He shook his hand and ruffled his hair. "Do you live round here?" He asks trying to change the subject as his eyes squinted from the brightness of the sun. I nodd my head and sling my dusty brown bag over my shoulder. "Nialler" I hear another strong irish accent say. Then a happy brown haired boy strooled around the corner. "Oh hi Sean,this is..." He pauses. "Lauren" I bluntly say. Sean nodds his head and swings his body around a little. "I must be going,i probaly need to babysit my little sister or something" I say breaking the silence. Niall nods and gives me a beautiful warm smile. I suddenly feel nervous and i have about a thousand butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Whats wrong with me? I say deeply to myself. Niall turns his body around facing the direction i live in and begins to walk,i slowly flutter behind him wondering would he was doing but to nervous to even dare question it. Then he stood outside and big white house with a crism red door and a shiny golden door knocker. "Thats my next door neighours house" I say pointing to where he is stood. His face suddenly lights up as if he where a candle on a cold winters night. "Im your new neighour" He says his face lighting up by the second. I could quite understand why,but i was very excited about this. "And me" Sean says sulking. I smile at him faintly then turn to my house. "Well...see you around" I say awkwardly,slowly peircing my key into the door. He nods then just stares wonderingly at me before i walk into my house and begin to worry.

　

　

　

A few days later i had seen Nialls face around the street alot,normally kicking a ball around with Sean. But one day he was outside looking rather dim and a little confused. I looked at him from behind my window but he didn't see. I slowly walked outside sorting out my hair and carefully straighting out my messy outfit before begining to slowly sit down next to him. He doesn't look at me,i feel as if the only sound i can hear is the pounding of my chest. Whats going on? Why am i so nervous around him? I dont speak to him much and i wouldn't say where that good friends,but for some reason that boy made me feel nervous but he also gave me this wonderful feeling as if could do anything,i wasn't shore what was going on but i didn't like it. "Wha-Whats wrong?" I stutter pressing my fist against my palm nervously. He lifts up his head from where he had been thuthering staring and looked at me with a unknown look. I couldn't describe it,know one had ever looked at me in such a way. "You know why i first met you by the river?" He says quitely as slowly but gently places his white pale hand on my knee. I flich. No boy had ever in touched me like that? Only my family and Bertie show me sighs of efection. After the shock of him touching me,i slowly remembered what he was asking me and nodded my head. "Im having one of those days" As soon as he said it his face dropped and he took away his hand. I shrugged my shoulders and tried to speak but there no words. "I guess,everything comes to an end" I say sadly picking up a piece of gravel and grasping it tightly in my hand. "Love doesn't" He says staring into my eyes comepletely expressionless. I gulp loudly then try to think of an answer. "I think it does" I argue back nervously. "No,when you love someone For example family or a wife whatever. That love can never really go away" He explains. I stand up and suddenly begin to feel nervous again as i try to speak. "Do you want to come in?" I ask. What was i thinking? why do i want him round my house? But before i could answer he was in my house. "Wheres you parents?" He asks sitting up at my breakfast table and knocking his knuckles on the grainet. "Working" I smile pouring him so Dr.Pepper and slowly walking over to him. He smiles at me but i can tell he doesn't feel happy. "I really miss him" He says randomly. I stand behind him and awkwardly wrap my arms around his waist until i begin to quite like it. "Who?" I ask gently leaning my head on his shoulder as he shakes. My eyes widden,why is he shaking? "Are you cold?" I worrying ask. Why did i care if he was cold? "Yes,a little" He replies. I run into the longue slushing my feet aloong the floor until i come across a bright blue blanket,thick enough for an eskimo. I wrap it around his shoulders and he smiles at me and slowly takes my hand. "Thanks".

　

　

"Lauren" I hear my mum shout from downstairs. "Lauren,time to get up" She repeats. I gently rub my eyes and stretch out my body then get out of my bed. I get showered,changed,brush my teeth and then im ready for school. I run townstairs and stand infront of the door. "Bye" I shout as i walk out the door accidently slamming it behind me. Then i see Niall and Sean across the road,walking in the same direction i had to go in for school. I run after then quickly to find out where then going. "Oi" I shout. They both turn round and stand there waiting for me to catch up. "Where are you going?" I pant. "School" Sean replies. I nod my head then think,are they going to my school? Great. That means more confusion time around Niall. "Which school?" I stutter. Why i keep stuttering i dont know. "Your school" He says happily. How does he know my school? "Oh.....k" I say slowly. We all walk to school and luckily before the bell i see Bertie and i run to him as fast as i can. "Hey babe" He says in his normal posh english voice. I smile and nod at him but dont reply,i was to busy staring at Niall. Then he began to walk over to us,is he following me or something? "Hi,im Niall. Laurens new next door neighour" He says shaking Berties hand firmly. Bertie turns round to me and gives me a sneaky smile,one of which i dont return. Then seconds before the bell rings Sinead comes rushing around the corner. "Lauren" She shouts running over to me and hugging me tightly,then doing the same to Bertie. "Im Niall" Niall says,trying to shake her hand but she pulls in for a hug. I spend the whole day at school with him and my nerves died down a little, i felt more comfortable around him. As we were walking home he looked at me and strunched up his eyes confusingly. "I dont understand you" He says. "Of course you dont,you hardly know me" I bluntly replying trying to end the conversation. "I know you dont believe in falling in love with someone" He says,jokingly poking me. I sigh and then slowly begin to answer. "Whats the point of it. Know one has ever fallen in love with me and Never will....i guess you could say i gave up on love" I say,forgetting i hardly know him but feeling like i have known him my whole life. He puts his arm around me and laughs. "Well thats just silly".
