Niall Horan Child Preferences Book 2

#189 You're in a terror attack with Niall and your daughter

Your POV

Mine and Niall's 3 year old daughter, Aaliyah, adored Ariana grande. We were currently staying in Manchester and Niall had gotten us tickets to go see Ariana at the Manchester arena.

He took a photo of Aaliyah since she was ready but still didn't know where we were going.

@NiallOfficial: She's going to see Ariana in concert tonight! She still doesn't know!

"Do you want to know where me, you and daddy are going tonight?" I asked.
"Where?"she asked confused.
"We are going to see Ariana Grande!" I told her excitedly.

She smiled widely and hugged me.
"Thanks mummy!" She said."don't thank me! It was daddy's idea" I told her.
She looked at Niall and ran into his arms. He picked her up as she hugged him.
"Thank you daddy!" She said and kissed his cheek.

***

The concert had ended and Aaliyah really enjoyed herself.

As we were walking out of the arena , there was an explosion.
The explosion was behind us so we were thrown forward out into the street.

People began screaming and running.
Shrapnel flew through the air, hitting everyone and everything.

Niall and I had some deep wounds and aaliyah was no where to be seen.

I looked at Niall, he had blood dripping down the side of his face and there was blood in his hair and on his clothes. He had some wounds on his arms too.
"AALIYAH!!" I yelled crying.
"We'll find her" Niall said breaking down in tears also.

Ambulances and police could be heard rushing to the scene.

I saw Aaliyah laying on the floor and ran to her with Niall close to me.

We collapsed on our knees next to her.

"Aaliyah, please, wake up sweetie" I said breaking down into more tears and touching her face.
She had a deep wound on the side of her face, which was also covered in blood . Her clothes were soaked in blood and her eyes were closed. Her leg had many wounds to it.
"Princess! Wake up! Please" Niall sobbed.

I sobbed looking at my amazing daughter, having no idea if I'd ever see her beautiful blue eyes and smiling face again.

People were still running and screaming frantically.
People bodies laid on the ground, blood and shrapnel everywhere.

Niall intertwined his hand with mine and looked at me with tears still falling from his eyes.
Paparazzi and to crews were filming and taking photos of everyone. They stood watching as Me,Niall and many other people cried and sobbed.

"Y/n" he whispered looking at me.
"I..I can't feel her pulse" he sobbed.
"W..what?" I cried looking down at my daughter.
"You're lying!" I sobbed feelings around for her pulse which couldn't be felt.

Paramedics rushed to us to check.
More paramedics rushed to us . They checked Aaliyah's to try and find a pulse or heartbeat.

They covered her in a blanket and I knew at that moment that we had lost our precious little girl.

"No" I whispered as I began sobbing as well as Niall.
Niall engulfed me in his arms as we watched them carry our daughters covered body away.

"We recommend you come to the hospital to stitch up and clean your cuts" A paramedic said.

Niall and I slowly stood up supporting each other s we walked to the ambulances.

***

Niall and I were told to stay in hospital for a few nights since we both had deep wounds on our heads which could cause further problems .
We requested to be in the same room which they agreed.

I climbed out of my hospital bed and got into Niall's cuddling into him.
We were both still crying messes.

Niall's phone which somehow survived the blast began ringing.
Niall answered it and put it on speaker.

"Hello" he said, his voice hoarse from crying.
"Niall! Finally!" Maura said sounding relieved that we finally answered.
"I heard about the concert! Are you 3 okay?"Maura asked and more tears fell from my eyes as I sobbed.
"No" Niall sobbed.
"What's happened?" Maura asked sounding anxious .
"A..Aaliyah, s..she's gone" I sobbed.
"No, I'm coming! I'll be there first thing in the morning" she said.
"Okay" Niall said sniffling.
His mum ended the call and Niall and I fell asleep thinking of our little girl.

***

It was the next day and Maura would be arriving in a few hours.

Ariana walked into our hospital room and gave us a sad smile. She sat down on the end of our bed.
"You both okay? I've come to visit everyone in the hospital because of last night" she said.
We nodded sadly.
"Where is Aaliyah? Is she in the children's unit?" She asked softly.
Ariana adored Aaliyah , almost as much as Aaliyah loved her.
We shook our heads and let more tears fall.
Ariana face changed as she remained what happened.
"I'm so sorry" she whispered letting tears fall herself.
