Tonight's Cloudy Sky (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 4- The Flat

Sorry it took so long, guys! I was hanging out with friends a lot and couldn't find the time. Then, last night, I was with my friend Miriam and her mom was cooking dinner. Note- her mom is going through this crazy heath craze. I told her mom that I liked to eat health, so she started offering me all of these different nuts. I have had almonds and pistachios before and I love them, so I ate them gladly. Then, she offered me a pine nut. I had never had one, so I only tried one little one. As soon as I ate it, my mouth started to itch. My first thought was 'what if I'm having an allergic reaction'. But, not wanting to cause trouble, I ignored it and we watched a movie. Gradually, my throat got smaller and it hurt to talk and breath. But, knowing that I was being picked up soon, I didn't say anything. When I was finally picked up, the first thing I said to my parents was "I think I'm having an allergic reaction." We went straight to the emergency room and it slowly got better after I was dosed up on medicine. We learned that I had pretty severe allergies, if I had only had one tiny nut and I couldn't breathe...

So that was my first day of summer.

How was yours? And thanks if you read that crazy long story (I had to tell someone).

So here's chapter 4... Enjoy!

Words cannot describe how fast I jumped out of the car.

I now stood on the sidewalk in front of the building, staring up at the many floors in complete shock. I heard the car doors open and close behind me, and a hand wrap around my waist. I turned to see Meredith standing next to me, also admiring our new home. Ariel came up to my left.

"Mattie and Janessa stopped to fill up on petrol, so they'll be here in a couple of minutes. Shall we?" Ariel motioned towards the car and we managed to turn away from the building. We made our way to were Ariel was already standing next to the open trunk, awaiting our help. I looked inside and moaned.

"We have to carry all of that by ourselves?"

We looked at each other and suddenly broke out in laughter.

"Are you kidding me? We would DIE!" Meredith exclaimed. This time, I didn't give her the Face, because it sounded possible. We had a lot of stuff.

Ariel walked into the building and, a couple minutes later, came back with a bellhop. He was pushing two carts that looked big enough for our stuff, but we would have to see.

“Girls, this is Mathew.” Ariel referred to the bellhop. “He will be helping us carry our stuff up to our flat, which- I have just learned- in on the fifth floor. This will be fun, won’t it?” When we showed him our luggage, shock was clearly written across his face. He took a long sigh and began moving the bags from the trunk to the carts. I felt sorry for him, and I started to help me move the stuff. As I picked up the first bag, the girls came up beside me and helped, also.

With the extra help, we were able to put all of our stuff onto the carts in about 5- 10 minutes. I stepped back to view our handiwork, and I saw Mathew lean against the car in the corner of my eye. I nudged Meredith and gestured to him; she understood and reached into her pocket, bringing out a 50 pound note. She strolled over to him and offered the money, which he took with a smile on his face.

After a few more seconds of resting, we began to bring our bags inside. There were four of us and two carts, so we teamed up; Ariel and Meredith pushed one, and I helped Mathew with the other. When we walked into the lobby, I gasped. It was completely beautiful, with gold walls and high ceilings. It was like the ball room in a princess movie.

[A/N: This is just some random hotel that I’m making up.]

We continued to move our stuff across the lobby towards the elevators. Meredith and Ariel got there first, and the lift wasn’t big enough for us all, so we had to wait for another one to open. There were three separate elevators, so it didn’t take long for another to become available. As we stood in the elevator, Mathew and I were surrounded by awkward silences. I moved my eyes between the cart and my shoes, and he stared straight ahead at the doors.
