Wheelchair Girl (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 10

(NIALL'S POV)

     The screams of the crowd were intense, I could tell Kristal was startled. We stood there like idiots, in the middle of the stage alone, holding hands. You would think I would get used to all this, but it never seemed the phase me just how many people supported us. How many  people were in this room, looking at me, and I didn't even know them. All of them had different amazing stories, but they were  all connected by me. It was all on me.

     As I snapped out of my day dream, I saw Kristal put a dark blue electric guitar around her neck. I followed her lead and used a matching green guitar and sat down next to her. The entire arena buzzed with silence for a few seconds before she placed her small fingers over the strings and letting out a delicate opening note, she started singing in a hauntingly melodic voice:

Will you listen to my story? It will just be a minute

How can I explain?

Whatever happened here, I didn't mean to hurt you

How can I cause you so much pain?

     Her voice was high pitched and echoed around the stage, sounding almost like a modern Gregorian chant, only being accompanied by a few guitar chords that flowed out of her finger tips. I strummed the melody to the chorus, harmonizing with her voice and chords:

When I say I'm sorry, Will you believe me?

Listen to my story, Say you won't leave me,

When I say I'm sorry, Can you forgive me?

When I say I'll always be there, Will you believe me?

     The ending harmony hung in the air for a few peaceful seconds. I could feel the heat of the electric board behind me, flashing a sign that said WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER AND YOU, DO YOU BELIEVE US? I grinned down as Kristal, who was beaming at the crowd, almost giggling at the performing high. I looked over at Harry, I hadn't seen him during the whole performance. He was looking back and forth, from the sign to us on stage. I couldn't tell if he was happy or sad... or forgiving...

     "Thanks guys! That was a little warm up, I'll be back in a few minutes with the rest of the band! Give a hand to the lovely talent that is KRISTAL JOHAN! I called into the microphone. The fans roared as Kris and I went off stage towards Harry and the rest of the lads.

     "OHMIGOD that was PERFECT! Kristal you were like a singing Megan FOXY MAMA out there! Agh guitars and performing KIALL FOREVER I SHIP THE SHIT OUT OF IT!" rambled Sydney, clapping and jumping about 6 feet in the air. Harry's going to have a lot to handle when they finally get together...

     "Niall, can I talk to you... alone?" asked Harry, leading me to an empty dressing room. His words and face didn't show any expression, hopefully that's a good thing. He faced me and took a deep breath.

     "Would you like to know why I don't let anyone date Kristal?" he asked, surprisingly calm. I nodded, and he started with his story.

     "When I met Kristal she was normal. She still is, but I mean she had a normal life. Public school, fun friends, amazing boyfriend, looking forward to the future. The only thing abnormal was her wheelchair, but that worked its way into normalcy.

     "Anyway, when I met Kristal our parents wanted us to be friends, get into each others lives, considering we were going to end up as step siblings. The only thing was, that at the time I was appearing on XFactor with you guys. But we talked over facebook and twitter, posting pictures on each others walls and talking freely and such. It was going well, considering we only met in person twice.  But then the band became bigger, and we moved onto live shows, and her friends became fans of us. Of their friend's soon-to-be step brother and his friends.

     "She became a joke to her school, half the kids wanting to get to her and half of them teasing her relentlessly, all because of me!" Harry was tearing up. "Her long time boyfriend dumped her because he thought she was having affairs with you guys and became one of her biggest bullies. She was heartbroken, who wouldn't be? Her friends became maniacs that tried to squeeze tickets out of her and her ex-boyfriend was one of her biggest bullies! It was all thanks to me. All me.

     "One day the teasing got too much. Some kids, including her ex, Josh, punched her in the stomach and jaw knocking her out. she woke up deep in a trash disposal bin, covered in One Direction merchandise and my stupid face," he spat out our band name, showing a hatred to himself that I have never seen.

     "Her dad made the right choice and has her home schooled. She doesn't have anything she had before, no normal school, no boyfriend, no friends of any sort. And you know why? Its all because of ME! My stupid timing to becoming famous, Me talking to her all the time for her friends to see, me not being there in real life, just some guy joking on his laptop whenever he felt like talking to her. And i'm not letting my fame hurt her again." Tears were streaming down Harry's face as he finished. I patted his back as it sunk in. He felt guilty, he felt like he ruined her life and wanted to repay her, when really he was hurting her by not letting her make her own decisions.

     "Harry, I understand what you mean. You don't want another person to hurt her. But don't you think its time to move on? If you let us go out, that will be one step back to normalcy. Your only hurting her more by being so over protective. You know me, I won't hurt her, I will do anything to make her happy. I will make sure we take it slow, and protect her when you aren't around. You saw the sign, we will always be there for each other and you! So, you have a choice, either let me date your step sister and we will both be happy, or say no and I won't touch her. So Harry, do you believe in us?" I finished my rant. Harry considered for what seemed like an eternity, before saying the words I've wanted to hear forever:

"I believe"

.....................

     Kristal rolled in the room, bouncing nervously. Harry told her to come in to see me. I tried to make my expression blank, but I felt like my face was glowing. 

    "So... He belieeeeves in love!" I sang. She let out the largest smile I have ever seen, and I matched it, knowing she loved me just like I loved her. Our situation made you grow closer to a person then it ever could. I lifted her up and swung her around as she grabbed my neck and giggled out of pure joy. I stopped spinning and put her legs around my waist, crashing our lips together, hungry and passionate. I felt sparks fly around the room, I was floating up to cloud nine. We stayed connected forever, never wanting this moment to end, relishing in the pure buzzing joy of it all. That moment was perfect.
