Stranger Things Happen

Chapter Ten

Alex's POV

He carefully placed her down on the duvet covering her bed. She looked so frightened. Tears running down her face.

"I-I. Wh-what h-happened? Did he? Is he? What's going on?" She barely whispered.

"He's going to be fine. Okay?" She nodded as Niall continued, "For the time being, nobody is aloud near him. I'll bring him back. I promise." And with that he left the room.

Maddy and I shared a confused look before I ran after him.

"Niall?! What are you talking about?"

"How? What did you do?"

"What do you mean Niall?"

"She was dead. She had no heartbeat. I don't understand how she's alive. So, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything. I mean I held her hand but that's it. What did you mean about Liam when you said 'I'll bring him back'."

"Look I can't deal with this right now. Tell her to get some rest and I'll explain everything in the morning. Okay?" He rolled his eyes and aggravatingly turned as someone shouted his name. "Far out I'm coming. I'd really love to talk more but I have to go.......and it looks like there's someone else to replace me." He said gesturing behind me.

I turned to see Louis and when I looked back Niall was already gone.

I felt a small pain appear in my back as it began to grow into something more painful. He had pushed me into the wall of my bedroom, using vampire speed. His soft pink lips pressed against mine. His tongue asking for permission to enter my mouth, but was quickly denied when I kept my teeth closed. I pushed him back slightly.

"What are you doing?"

"Alex, I want you. I need you. I-I......"

Was he going to say he loved me?.....Nah he doesn't feel that way for me. He couldn't. Could he? Wait what was I doing?

I couldn't do this to Niall. That sweet, cute Niall who always smiles at me whenever I look at him, with his shaggy blonde hair that always looks perfect. He always looked so hurt when I was with Louis. I really needed to give him a chance.

"Stop. I can't...I can't do this to Niall. He's the one that saved me from Harry, that looked out for me when I was upset." He stepped back and looked at me confused and a little irritated.

"But I'm the one that saved you when you were about to... you-you know..."

"Kill myself?"

"Yeh." He said looking at the ground.

"I know that but I still have to give him a chance okay?" He slipped his hands off my shoulders and looked away from me.

"I need you to understand, that-that I'm going to fight to have you. For you to be mine. I will never stop trying."

"I understand, but I still have to give Niall a chance, and you saying that doesn't make a difference to how I feel." I brought my hands to my chest waiting for a reply.

I didn't get one. I went to leave when Louis grabbed my wrist. I looked at his hand and then shifted my gaze to his eyes which looked dark and dangerous. They said 'you're making a mistake, don't do this' but I left anyway.

I walked through the door and left him alone in my bedroom. I proceeded down the stairs into the foyer. There were two large sets of arch-ways on either side of the staircase leading into one of two rooms I'd actually been in. I walked through one of the archways and strolled into the kitchen to grab a snack. I opened the cold door of the fridge and took an apple and continued my search for Niall in the lounge room.
