I Wish (1D FanFiction)

Chapter Eight

Niall's P.O.V

I looked at the clock and it was only 8 o'clock. The movie had just started and I was at the least tired. I looked down at Kate. She was sleeping into my chest, she was so peaceful when she was sleeping, like an angel with her eyes closed and breathing. The sad thing was, she didn't know what was going on. Harry told me once about how his sister has cancer, how she could live.. Or die. He said that his parents had told him when she was first adopted. Kate never even knew.... It made me feel horrible keeping such a secret from her, but Harry insisted that if she finds out, she might feel less free and feel like she has no life. If she doesn't know, it won't hold her back. That's why I couldn't tell her, but every time I want to, just tell her I love her. Because I'm telling the truth to cover a lie.... But just seeing that she was breathing made me smile. We'd come so far in our relationship, she actually loved me, and I loved her. If I wanted too, I could ask her to marry me. Maybe have a child, grow old together.... It would be the life. I scooted down to where she was sleeping, cautious not to wake her. I kissed her forehead and smiled. I looked at the tv, the screen faded to a high school. I looked back down at Kate, seeing her so sleepy, made me yawn and go to dreamland too.

"Good morning sleepy head". Kate said as my eyes opened. "Good morning un-sleepy head". I said giving her a hug "I love you". I whispered

"I love you too". She said getting up

"I see you've gotten changed, would you toss me those pants and that t-shirt". I said pointing at the items.

"Sure". She said tossing them to me, input on the shirt and then the pants "Now, toss me that comb". I announced, she smiled and tossed me the comb, I ran it through my hair and she walked over and messed it up "I like it like that". She smiled evilly. "Okay, well, you ready to see my hometown?" I asked.

"Yes, but I better be getting a piggy back ride". She demanded.

"Yes, well only if you hold my hand till we get outside". I compromised

"Sounds like a deal, gimme that hand". She smiled grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers. We walked downstairs and then outside. She turned around and looked at me, I nodded and bent over, she hopped onto my back and wrapped her arms loosely around my neck. I started walking and humming 'one thing' in my head. As we neared my old high school she decided she wanted to hold my hand again, so she jumped off of my back and grabbed my hand. "So this is your old High school?" she asked

"Yes, actually, there's a football field behind it, if we're lucky, we might see a few of my old friends." I smiled

"Cool. It'd be nice to meet someone who knew you as much as me". She said resting her head on my shoulder. And all that I wanted to say was 'I. Love. This'.

"Well what do ya know, is that Niall?" Sean Cullen yelled sitting next to Scott. My heart nearly stopped as they ran over to me. "Guys!" I said fist pumping a Sean.

"So your famous now?" Scott asked

"I guess so.... So what's up guys?"

"Well, nothing really... Hey there's a party later, maybe you should come, we invited some girls". Sean winked playfully.

"Actually, I don't need a girl any more. I have Kate" I said looking behind me, Kate smiled and wrapped her arms around my waist from behind. "I thought that was just a friend... But cool man."

"Yeah, she's Harry's sister... And yeah I'll try to make it tonight. What time"? I asked smiling

"8 o'clock. Hope to see ya". Sean said waving and walking away. "Well it was nice seeing you Niall." Scott said catching up with Sean.
