Sugar We're Going Down (ON HOLD)

Chapter 8 - I Dont Want To Leave

Aspen's POV

My eyes fluttered open to the sight of Niall shirt. I saw it was weat. I saw that his arms were draped around me. I looked up at Niall's face. His eyes were closed and a smile was plastered on his face. I attempted to slip free from Niall, but failed. I watched as his eyes cracked open. He smiled at me.

"What happened? Why is your shirt wet?" I asked him

"Last night you woke up screaming and sweating..." he said with a straight face

"I had to comfort you to calm you down" he added

"I'm sorry" I said

A stray tear escaped my eye thinking back to the nightmare.

*flashback*

"I'll get it!" Dana cheered skipping over to the road

I watched as Dana bend over to get it, then I noticed a fast car flying toward her.

"No Dana!" I screamed at the top of my lungs

I heard the screeching of brakes. I then saw my best friend lying there dead.

*end of flashback*

"Don't be sorry love" he said

A few more tears escaped my eyes.

"Would you like to tell Niall?" he asked picking my chin up

I nodded, knowing I would have to tell him sometime.

"When I was seven, me and my best friend Dana were playing in the street" I started

"We were so happy, throwing a ball around in the street" I continued, more tears falling

"The ball went into the road, and Dana chased after it" I said starting to choke up

"She didn't see the car coming over the hill, and the next thing I knew she was laying dead on the road" I croaked crying

"Oh Aspen, come here, I'm so sorry" Niall said with a sad expression on his face

I rolled over and into Niall's arms. I cried into his chest. He rubbed my back soothing me. I soon stopped my sobbing and recollected my self.

"Thank you" I said raising up from him and smiling a bit

"Anytime, I'll be your crying shoulder" he said giving a sympathetic smile

"Enough of my problems, let's gets skiing" I said getting off the bed

"Let's go have some fun!" Niall said doing the same

"Ok, so you guys know how to ski right?" I asked the 5 boys standing infront of me

"Just show us please" Zayn groaned

I got onto the lift and went to the top of the hill. I looked down to find the boys watching at the bottom. I used my poles to start off. I crouched down and kept together to gain speed. I slid left and right. I hit a ramp doing a flip. I neared the bottom and turned my feet in, sliding sideways to stop. The boys started to clap.

"Nothing to it!" I encouraged

"Let's do this!" Liam said

We once again to the lift to the top of the mountain, same as yesterday. We reached the top of the mountain. I let the boys to ahead of me. I watched as they shot off down the hill. They weren't going as fast as I knew they could. I fell off the flat surface and down the slanted snow. I crouched again, gaining speed. Soon I past Louis and Zayn, then down Liam, Niall, and Harry.
