Super Human

Staying Safe

Liam POV

Before we headed back to class we looked around campus, we found a couple kids hiding in the bathroom, and some just hiding under benches or behind trees, we led all of them back to class. When we opened the door we were greeted by Mr Cowell, and to say that he was pissed is honestly an understatement. All three of us were yelled at, and given a day of detention and a long lecture about how we shouldn't try to be heroes. After our stern talking to the three of is headed back to out seats. While heading back to our seats Harry and Zayn could both see something was up, Louis just gestured to both of them, meaning that we would tell them later. Before anyone could say anything I was nearly tackled by Niall.

"Liam! your okay!" Niall said while pulling me into a tight hug.

"Yeah I'm fine Niall, now I need to breathe." Niall let go of me, I slightly turned my head so he wouldn't see how flustered I was.

"Hey Liam" Brenda said "umm why don't you just go straight to your movie night tonight?"

"What are you sure? I've never missed a session" I was shocked by Brenda's statement.

"Trust me Liam, I think you need to be with Niall and your friends. One session won't kill you."

"Brenda your our friend too, you should come" Niall stated while walking towards Brenda

"No I have some stuff to look up when I get home. Go, have fun, this lock down should be over soon."

After another twenty minutes the lock down ended, we all returned to our normal routines, Niall seemed really excited about tonight's movie night. Before we could even realize the school day was over. I headed to the exit of the school and found Niall and the rest of the boys waiting for me.

"This is gonna be so cool!" Louis exclaimed

"Yeah so Liam, what movie are you choosing?" Harry questioned.

"You don't even need to ask I already know which one he's choosing" Niall stated proudly.

"Oh really? then what am I going to pick nialler?"

"All the Toy story movies" Niall stated in a Matter-of-fact tone of voice.

He was right but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of being right, so I just turned my head away trying my best to look serious. Yeah, it didn't work. I ended up cracking a smile and laughing, I eventually told the boys that Niall was right and we would be watching the Toy story movies tonight.

We started our walk to Niall' house, and I started to think why Brenda let my sessions slide today. I've never missed a sessions and honestly it feels strange not having to go one.

'This. Is. War.'

I get it now. Brenda is afraid, she's scared they'll come after Niall. She's afraid that they'll strike while I'm off in session. Brenda is afraid.

Watchers are never afraid.

"Li?" Niall mumbled while we fell behind our group of friends.

"Yeah Nini?"

"Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it Nini, why don't you tell me about PT or something."

Niall knew that I was changing the subject on purpose, but he knew I would eventually tell him what's on my mind.

We all arrived at Niall' house and went down to his basement. I went to the shelves and grabbed all three toy story movies and put them in the DVD player. We all went to our usual seats, Zayn in the bean bag, Louis and Harry on the couch and Niall and I on the floor on top of numerous blankets. The first movie went by with ease, the second the boys started to get hungry so Niall and I went up stairs to get some snacks.

"Can you grab the cups Liam?" Niall commanded while he grabbed some bags of chips.

"Yes master" I said in some weird voice, you know the voice of those mad scientists weird assistant, yeah that one.

After grabbing all the snacks we returned back down stairs, we finished the second movie and went to the third. By the end of the movie my face was stained with tears. Niall and I were the only ones awake.

"Hey Liam, are you hungry?" Niall questioned.

"Yeah kinda, you have anything to eat here?" I answered while I Cleaned up my face.

"Ugh, can we just go get pizza!" Niall sighed dramatically while placing his hand on his forehead.

"Now?"

"Liam I'm dying! tell my family...I..love..them." Niall said while slowly laying on the floor.

"Okay geez I get it you don't want to cook. Okay, let's go." I huffed.

"Yay! I really didn't feel like cooking and that always works!" Niall said while getting up and putting on his shoes.

We left a note for the boys and headed out, it was only 7:30 so we didn't think we needed a ride. We walked to the nearest pizza place and took our seats. I love these little moments with Niall, we talked and ate for a good half hour. We talked about everything. After finishing our food we started walking back home.

"I love when we go out like this, just me and you." Niall said

"Yeah, you and I. Niall?"

Niall stopped in his tracks, the moonlight shinning and making his beautiful blues eyes sparkle. He looked beautiful.

"Yeah Li?" Niall turned and looked me directly in the eyes.

I honestly had no Idea why I stopped him. But it was a big mistake that I did. Because that moment that he faced me, all I could think was pressing my lips to his. To just kiss him with every once of love I have for him. Before I could stop myself, I closed the gap between us, I cupped his cheek with my hand and began to lean forward. I felt him tense up, but slowly he began to Lean forward, I could feel his breath against my lips, I could feel him shaking. Only centimeters away..

Right when our lips should've touched I felt myself being hit in the jaw.

I was taken back but I quickly recovered. I turned to see three men in all black. One had just punched Niall right before my eyes..

Big. Mistake.
