By Chance (One Direction fanfic)

The Missing Leprechaun

Skye's POV

     I was beginning to drift out of my dreamless sleep and coud tell I hadn't slept in my bed since I was so sore. My eyes were stuck together and had crusted over from the mix of dried up tears and dirt on my face. I reached my hand up and started rubbing my eyes individually. I slowly felt my eyes flutter open and saw a blurred figure sitting in front of me. I started screaming and pushing myself backwards causing me to hit the back of my head on my house. The sheer pain of it hitting the same spot as when eleanor knocked me over was almost too much to handle. I puled my knees up to my face and held onto the back of my head trying to muffle it's pain.

"Skye! Are you okay?!" I head Louis screaming, I could recognize his voice anywhere.

"Ow." Was all I could manage to get out before I felt myself being lifted off the ground.

I had my eyes shut tight trying to block the pain and so far it was barely helping. I bured my face in his chest just waiting for him to put me down again.

     I felt him slowly lay me down on my bed and heard him turn on his heel and start walking away. My eyes shot open.

"Lou." I croaked out trying to keep myself from crying due to the pain coursing though my head.

He stopped in the doorway and turned around to look at me. I could tell he hadn't slept in awhile. He had dark bags under his eyes and his face was flushed of most of it's color.

"Y-yea." He replied while yawning.

I lifted the blanket behind me and patted the bed motioning for him to come lay down. He smiled and climbed in behind me. He slid his arm around my waist and held on to me tightly. I turned my head to look at him and he kissed my forehead and smiled.

"Thank you Skye." he whispered stil slightly kissing my forehead. I smiled and kissed his cheek before turning back around and pulling the blanket over us and letting the warmth overwhelm and drag us both into a heavy sleep.

Louis' POV

     I waited as I heard her breathing slow to a steady, in..out..in..out. she was so peaceful and she was going through so much. It was hard to believe she was dealing with this. She just seems so happy and carefree, I would've never guessed that she was going through this. I felt her twitch in her sleep and I held on tighter burying my face in her hair and rubbing circles into her waist with my finger trying to calm her down. Her hair smelled like vanilla. I chuckled as it reminded me of Harry's everlasting vanilla scent. I felt her muscles loosen up and she started breathing normally again. She was so great. She was sweet, kind, beautiful...wait, what? I can't be saying this about another girl. I'm with Eleanor. I love Eleanor. Right? Please tell me I'm not falling for Skye. She has too much on her plate with Niall and Harry chasing after her. Speaking of Niall, where was he? It had totally slipped my mind when Harry asked me to go watch her. I felt a sharp pang in the back of my head. I guess my head is telling me to shut up. I closed my eyes and focused on Skye's breathing letting it lull me to sleep.

Niall's POV *Flashback to the kiss*

     I couldn't believe it. They were snogging. For the 5 minutes that I was gone, they had begun snogging. I coughed and they both stopped and looked over at me. Skye had horror and confusion in her eyes. Unlike Harry who was just smirking with an awful glare that I knew all too well. That was the look he gave people when he won. I took one last look at Skye knowing I had lost her and turned quicky on my heel storming into the lounge. I was going to head up to the room but decided against it. I turned around and stalked over to the door grabbing my bag and leaving, slamming the door behind me.

     I walked down to the road and decided I needed to know if she would follow me. I ran across the street and hid in a bush on the other side of the road, shoving my bag into the bush next to the one I was sitting in. I waited for a solid two minutes before she came running out of the house in hysterics. She ran to the road and looked around, I shrunk into the bush to make sure she wouldn't see me, I watched as her face dropped and she trudged her way towards the house. I expected her to walk inside but was surprised when she turned and sat against her house. She put her head in her hands and started crying. I almost wanted to go over and comfort her but I didn't move. I wasn't sure I could be around her without breaking down. I watched as she rolled on to her side and drifted into sleep. When I was positive that she was sleeping, I got out of the bush and grabbed my bag. I ran down the street to get away before someone else came outside and noticed me.

     When I finally reached the end of her neighborhood, which just so happened to head straight into London. I hopped on a trolley and realized I wasn't sure where I was going.

     I rode for about ten minutes and overheard a gruff voice from the intercom telling us the next stop.

"Next stop, London airport." (A/N: I don't actually know what the name is since I live in America) He announced, I guess that'll be my stop.

     I hopped off and began walking into the airport. I pulled my hood over my head and put my sunglasses on hoping I wouldn't be bothered. I walked up to the counter and looked at the middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk.

"Hi my name's Cindy, how many I help you?" She said trying her best to sound polite.

I stood there for a moment because I wasn't sure where I was going, and then it hit me.

"Excuse m-"

"One ticket to Ireland please." I replied cutting her off.

The regret was filling my whole body and I felt like I was going to explode but it's better than going back.  The lady handed me my ticket and turned and made my way to my flight.
