What would I do without you? (Niall Horan Fanfic)

I hope you all like this story, I wanted to try and make something different that I've never read as a fanfic before, and also make it more of a story as well. This chapter was just so you can get to know the characters mostly, and the next should come soon because I think I know where I'm going with this. I promise all the boys will be in it and if its confusing it will make more sense soon. Enjoy!

“5 more minutes.” I thought to myself as I was scribbling away at my history paper. It was my last final I’d ever take in my high school career. Only 5 more minutes of this torture and then I can start fresh with university in the fall.

The bell rang and I handed in my final, not really caring about the grade at that point, and then met up with my friend Gabby, she always looked so good, with her long brown hair that laid at the perfect length and brown eyes, she was so bubbly and never seemed to let much get to her. I, on the other hand, had about all the grace of a cactus, I can never seem to do anything right. I’d never say the right thing, so I’d usually let Gabby do most of the talking. I don’t think I’m that bad looking, with thick dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, I’m only average in height, and my hair gets so tangled I never know what to do with it. I didn’t care this morning so I just tied it in a bun.

“Hey Taylor! Its over, never have to worry about high school again. Now we can start packing.” Gabby said to me as we were walking out the building, neither of us wanting to discuss our exams. Gabby got an apartment that I was going to share with her. Her parents were helping her pay the rent, so I wouldn’t have to pay too much, which was nice. I had to basically pay my own way through college when my father passed, which I’m still not fully over, he had died so young of lung cancer, it’s just not fair, but then again life isn’t fair.

So we both walked to my car and drove back to my house to start packing. I couldn’t wait to get out of this place, and continue my life somewhere new. While we were getting everything together we started talking about college, and boys.

“Maybe you’ll finally get yourself a boyfriend.” Gabby smiled as she was putting my clothes in the suitcase. I glared at her. I’d never had an actual relationship with anyone that lasted more than 2 days, and those were more awkward than anything else. I didn’t like any of the guys in my school, and I hoped that would change in college even though I didn’t want to admit it.

“Awe, come on Taylor! It’ll be your time to shine, we’ll have a lot of fun together this summer, you’ll see”

“I sure hope so.” I needed something different. The most interesting thing that has happened in my life so far for the better would probably only be my graduation.

“I know it will, now come on, let’s get all this stuff in the car.”

“Okay, hold on, let me say goodbye to my mum.” I loved my mother and didn’t want to leave her here all by herself, as much as I wanted to escape from this place. She’s been everything to me, especially since my father was sick, and I owe her so much, also being that I’m an only child.

“Bye mum! I’ll miss you.” I tell her as I hug her tightly while Gab is waiting in the kitchen.

“I’ll miss you too sweetheart, god you grow up so fast! Don’t forget to call!”

“I won’t I promise.” Then I kiss her on the cheek and walk out with Gabs to the car.

“Cheers to a new beginning.” Gabby said and we clanked out glasses of red wine together after we finished bringing everything into the new apartment.

Everything was still in boxes, but we were too tired so we decided to wait to finish unpacking tomorrow morning.

About a week passed and Gabby and I were just starting to get settled in at our own apartment in London. I try to just focus on now, because I really have no idea what I want to do with my life. Gabby seems to have so much more figured out, she has been in a relationship before, actually her last boyfriend had just broken up with her before going to college since he was a year older, and she wants to study English to become a writer. But me? What can I do? I hope going into college will help me figure out what I want to do with myself, because right now I have no set idea. My mother always told me that I have to do what I’m passionate about, but I don’t know what that is. I wish something could give me a sign. My mum was a veterinarian, but I don’t think I’d ever have the stomach to do that with animals, I always loved animals. I don’t know…

“Taylor, what do you want to eat?” Gabby said which took me out of my thoughts.

“Oh, umm I could go for some Chinese?”

“That sounds good, want to go out and get some food?”

“Nah, I don’t really feel like going out tonight, can we just order in.”

“Sure we can order in and have a girls night, haven’t done that in awhile.”

“Haha, wanna do Just Dance? I’ll go call for the food”

“You read my mind! And I will beat you this time!” And I just smirked at her while she went to get it set up and I called for the food. Me being as clumsy as I am, I’m not a bad dancer; something I always thought was odd about me.

I had lots of fun that night, no matter what is bothering me; Gab can always seem to get me to have a good time. That’s one of the reasons we make such great friends, even though we seem to be complete opposites.

But all those thoughts and “what ifs” resurfaced while I was laying in bed that night and couldn’t sleep. I prayed for something to tell me what I needed to do and finally fell into a restless sleep…

I woke up that morning in my bed…or so I thought. There was a dim light in my room through the window, and I rubbed my eyes and then saw a figure standing in front of me on the side of my bed. It was a he. And he stood there so gracefully. Was I seeing things? I rubbed my eyes again, but he was still there. His skin looked so soft, his eyes a glittery light blue staring into mine, and light honey colored hair.

Am I dreaming? “Who are you?” I asked hesitantly.

He slowly responded. “I’m what you’ve been searching for.”
