A Haunting Past (One Direction FanFic)

21 Questions

"Alright, love. What is your favorite band?" Did he really just ask that? Oh my goodness.

"Oh I don't know, perhaps One Direction. But you know it could also not be One Direction. I really don't know." I sarcastically respond. He rolls his eyes and playfully shoves my arm which sent a shiver through my body. I tried to calm myself as quickly as possible.

A smile appears on his lips. "Well for all I know, you could love screamo. One can never tell." he replies. I don't look like a screamo type girl, do I? "Not that you have that look." He quickly adds, seeing the confusion on my face. The tips of my mouth rise into a small smile.

"But really, you guys are amazing." I add with a slight smile as I thought of the question I should ask him. Hmm...what would be a good question....ohh! I got it!

"If you were a fangirl, who would you date out of the One Direction lads, other than yourself?" I ask. i know it's random but it's creative, right? Right!? Oh jeez, did I sound too weird?

He laughs, "Well isn't that specific and random?" I just look at him with a nervous smile. "I guess I would date my Hazzah." A few seconds pass before he quickly adds, "He's secretly my girlfriend." and then winks at me.

I try to hold back my laughter; however, it bursts out of my lips and then to my horror.... A snort! Oh no! That was so unattractive! Crap! My cheeks begin to burn from the blood rushing to my face. I try to hide my face with my hands but they are pulled from my face. I stare at my feet to avoid Niall's gaze.

"That was so adorable." Niall says.

"A-adorable?" I ask incrdulously, slowly raising my head to gaze into the ocean blue eyes.

"Yes, love, extremely adorable." he says with a reassuring smile.

"B-but.....it was so unattractive and weird." I protest.

"Are you kidding me!?" I look at him with shock in my eyes. "You are so beautiful and that amazing laugh adds so much to your attractive qualitite."

"Attractive qualitites...." I scoff. "i don't feel very attractive." I barely whisper, looking down at my feet again, hoping he didn't hear. I can't look him in the eyes. I'm not pretty and I know it. It was drilled into my head because of him. 

No, Beth, stop thinking about him, he's gone and out of your life. My subconscious says. He's, I hope and he can't find me.... I drift off into my own thoughts untill i'm brought back by the Irish boy sitting next to me.

"Why are you so insecure? You have no reason to be." He gently asks.

"Umm, pass." I said, with a little worry in my voice. No one knows about him except for Alice and that's only because she was there for me when the events took place.

"What? You can't pass! It's against the rules or something" Niall persisted. Well....I've never TALKED about it with anyone, not even Alice (she witnessed it first hand so she didn't need me to tell her anything). I just....ugh.

"How about I make you a deal?" I desperately offer.

"I'm listening." Niall cautiously replies. By now, the humor was all but gone from my eyes which were full of no emotion whatsoever as the memories bagan to resurface.

"It is a really touchy subject..." I began. "So I propose that we postpone the answering of your question untill we.... are more comfortable with eachother and know eachother better....or something like that." I ramble. Niall's hand finds its way to my chin and lifts my head up to face him. He stares into my eyes with sympathy and a tint of curiosity. His other arm slides around my waist and pulls my body closer to his.

"Don't worry about it." He smiles and brings his hand down from my chin to meet his other hand, at my waist. I smile and snuggle my head onto his chest. This feeling, it's so different. His touch sends electrical waves, for a second time tonight, throughtout my body. I feel safe, again. "Now," he begins. "let's finish our game. I believe it's your turn." He smiles.

"What is your favorite restaurant?" I ask. I know the answer but was running low on creative questions. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

"Nandos!" he yells, changing the atmosphere back into the cheery mood it has been most of the night.

"Did you hear that?" We hear a girl's voice outside the bathroom.

"F*ck!" Niall yell-whsipers. I giggle quietly at him. But wait.....that means... They've found us!!
