A Haunting Past (One Direction FanFic)

BACON!!

(Alice's POV)

i don't know what time it is but I seem to be waking up. After I went to bed for the second time that night, I had a peaceful sleep. That's a first. Usually after a nightmare, I wake Beth up and she sings me back to sleep. It may seem weird but honestly, her voice is soothing and comforting. She doesn't really like to sing for people but she does for me when she knows I really need her. I end up forgetting all the bad and emersing in the comfort of sleep.

But last night was different. Maybe it was the fact that after a whole year, I finally feel the safety of strong arms wrapped aroung me again. I miss the feeling. That feeling of safety and invincibility. But it never lasts, does it?

I slowly turn around and am startled by the proximity of the sleeping boy next to me. His mouth is slightly open and light sounds escape from it, followed by warm breaths crashing into my face. Everyone looks so young when they are sleeping and I have this urge to....hug him. But that will wake him up, I can' do tha-

"Mmm, like what you see?" He asked in a raspy voice, his eyes still closed. Oh jeez, why do I always get caught staring!? I look away a bit too fast and my arm ends up swinging into the wall. Oww!! Just my luck. I hear uncontrollable laughter from behind me. I scoff, "It's not funny, Harry!"

"Sorry...love...are you...ok?" He asked between laughs. I roll my eyes and try to sit up but two arms wrap around my waist and pull me back down. Harry nuzzles his face in my hair and I hear muffled apologies escape his lips which make me giggle, mainly because his breath tickles!

"Agh! Ok! Ok! I forgive you!" I practically yell. He stops and lifts his head and looks at me with the cutest sleepy smile I had ever seen. It was sort of a side smile and his eyes were the perfect shade of green I......Do I smell? No! It can't be! My eyes widen and so do Harry's as the smell hits him too.

"Bacon!" We both scream and shoot out of bed. We stumble a bit trying to untangle ourselves from the covers. I get done first and just as I'm about to reach the door, I'm pulled back and Harry races in front of me. Oh no he didn't! I run after him and trip him before he reahces the door. I try to jump over him but trip and end up falling on top of Harry....face to face. He smiles at me and I smile back. His eyes trail down to my lips as mine do the same to his. I start to lean in and right as our lips are about to touch I whisper, "That bacon isn't going to eat itself, you know." His eyes open quickly but not quick enough.

I reach the door and yank it open, running out of the room. It was about time I got him back for last night! Haha! Just as I reach the kitchen I see....Harry!? What the hell!? He reaches for a piece of bacon and looks up at me with a smirk (a dimple showing on the one cheek).

"What...How did you...huh?" I try to ask as my thoughts jumbled together.

"I'm a ninja, remember?" he playfully winks and eats his strip of bacon.

 

(Beth's POV"

Buzz. "Five more minutes, mom!" Buzz...Buzz... "Dammit!!" I reach to grab my phone and I pull it to my ear. "Hello?" I say tiredly. No one answers. "Helloooo?" I ask again. Why aren't they answering, Dammit!?

"Babe, it's a text message." Niall says.

"I knew that...." I say flatly.

"Mhmm ok..." Niall said a bit teasingly. Wait. Did he just call me 'Babe'? Well that's new. I pushed this thought aside as I looked down at my phone again.

From Alice: Bacon!

Oh my gosh, bacon! I jump from my bed and run to the door, leaving a confused Niall still in the bed.
