When Life And Love Gives You A Second Chance (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2 - Life

Chapter Two - Life

Summer’s POV)

Suddenly I felt clearer. I swore that I could feel his smell. Then Niall jumped out of the bed and took a few steps back as quick as he could. He stared right at me with wide-open eyes. I stared at him back.

”Do you see me?” I slowly rose from the bed. He nodded as an answer and pushed his body against the wall behind him. He was scared.

“How?” I mumbled to myself.  ”You said you love me… do you mean it?” I asked.

“With all of my heart.” Niall answered. “What are you doing here?!”

”I don’t know. I’m stuck somewhere in-between life and death. I don’t feel dead because I’m still in this world.”

“This is not real. Am I dreaming?” He sounded very confused.

”No, I would pinch you if I could. But ever since I died I can only observe and nothing else. The fact that someone can see me is amazing!”

Niall moved a few steps closer. He reached out his hand towards me. Then he touched my chin and I felt it! I felt it! It was as if I was alive again. He took a few steps forward again and hugged me. I could feel his warmth going through my ice-cold body.

“You have no idea how many times I pictured you here. All the times I wanted to pull you close to me like I do now.” He whispered in my ear.

”What are we going to do? I don’t know how long I’ll stay like this.” I said as I pulled away.

“You’re practically alive!” Niall shouted quietly.

”You think anyone else can see me?” I wondered. “Maybe it’s just you.”

”Come with me.” He said and opened the door to his room. Then he walked down the corridor to his brother’s room. “Greg?” He asked and Greg looked up from his desk where he sat.

“What do you want?” Greg asked and only looked at Niall. He obviously didn’t notice me at all.

“Eh, nothing…” Niall said and we walked back to his room. He broke down as he sat down on the bed. I was crying next to him.

“You can’t love me forever, Niall. I have to disappear so that you can continue living your life.”

“Now that I have you, I don’t want to live without you!”

“But I’m not really here. I’m only here because we love each-other.”

“I want to be with you forever, I’ll do anything to be with you.” He said and then kissed me. It was the best kiss I could ever get. I filled me up; his scent, his hands on my waist and his breaths. All my senses were concentrating on him.

Even if the kiss was the most beautiful thing in the world I couldn’t wait for it to be over so that I could look in to his wonderful eyes.

The kiss ended and so did I. I vanished and the last thing I could hear was Niall screaming over and over again until it faded away.

I woke up with his name on my lips. ‘Niall’, I whispered in the dark.   I didn’t know where I was. Then I realized that I was lying in my own bed. I sighed. I didn’t understand why I was there. I had wakened because of the alarm but I didn’t really wonder why because I was so tired. So I lay down again and closed my eyes.  

“Summer! You have to go up now! You’ll be late to school.” I woke up within a half second. Was I alive? Was that my mother calling my name as if I still was alive?  

I got out of my bed and put on some clothes. I was in shock because I could touch everything. A part of my brain wondered about the clothes. I recognized them but it wasn’t anything I would wear as a 17 year old. On the way from my room I saw the calendar. I went closer and looked at it.  

January 11th, 2010 – First day of school.  

“Mum? Is it Monday today?” I asked slowly as I walked towards parent’s bedroom.  

“Yes, your school is starting today.” She said and put down her cup of coffee on the nightstand.

“Yes, I know… obviously…” I was very confused.

”What are you thinking about?” She asked me.  

“Nothing really,” I said. What I really was thinking about was the colour on the walls in my room, they didn’t look like that in 2012, I painted them the summer of 2011. Somehow I’ve come back to life and the year 2010. I went back two years… But how long was I going to stay this way? For how long was I suppose to be 15 again? Why was I here?   

I tried to get ready for school but it was hard. Everything just felt completely… pointless… Why was I 15? Why was I going to relive two years of my life? The two most horrible years of my life. It felt as if I rather would like to be dead.  

I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror. I never realized how much you really do change during two years. I looked very young, I looked like a child. Well I was still a child but when you’re that old you think you look so much older than what you really are, because you try to act older. I put on my favourite jeans of that time and I found a shirt that I liked. It was hard because I’ve changed my style a lot lately.  

I said good-bye to my mum and jumped on my bike. On my bike I had some time to think of Niall. A smile spread on my face when I thought of our kiss. It also made me so confused; I really didn’t understand why I was back again.  

I avoided the road where I died.  

I came up to my school and jumped off my bike. I walked towards the doors. It felt as if every person I met stared at me. Also every person I met looked so young and so insecure. After every face I saw I got a déjà vu. I’ve been there before, I knew that for sure.  

I had waken up at 7:00 am, January 11th 2010, eaten my breakfast, brushe d my teeth, biked to school and seen all these people.
