SHE'S Your Little Sister?!?!

Chapter 8

After two agonizing days of hardly being able to move without feeling like my stomach was about to split open, on the third day when I woke up I felt a thousand times better, I got out of bed and got myself dressed and whatnot. I walked out to the living room area, only to catch Niall at the tail end of a phone conversation.

He sighed "No, I'm glad you called and let me know... yeah... love you too, bye.." His voice broke on the last word, and he put his head in his hands.

"Niall? You ok?" I asked softly, I could feel my forehead wrinkle in concern the way it usually does when I ask questions. He just shook his head, which was still in his hands.

"What's wrong?" I asked walking closer to him. He removed his head from his hands to reveal a tear stained face.

"My mom just called and told me three of my friends got into a car accident and one of them died." He sobbed at the end.

"Nialler," I started, using the nickname the rest of the boys affectionately called him "I'm so sorry, I know how you feel." I said gently, yes, I can actually  be gentle when I want to.

"No you don't! No one does!" He yelled before collapsing on the couch letting out heart wrenching sobs. I sat next to him.

"Yes I do, last year when my friends and I were fifteen, Beth, my closest friend got her permit and she, Allie, and Mary thought it would be fun to go out drinking and stuff. They were all drunk out of their minds, when they crashed," I paused for a minute letting the painful memories flood back "they hit another drunk driver, it was right in front of my house, I watched it all happen, I watched them die. Every. Single. One. I know how it feels. It sucks." I reminiced quietly.

Niall picked himself up off the couch just enough to wrap his arms around my waist and bury his face in my neck. I hugged him and rubbed his back, I felt oddly mother-like. I didn't mind though. I didn't want Niall to go through what I had to go through, losing friends and not having anyone there for you to ask if you're ok, if I could help someone avoid the pain that I went through, then I would do what I could. Niall eventually put his head in my lap, I ran my fingers through his hair, it was soft an fluffy.... like a little duck. He wasn't sobbing anymore, but he was definitely still crying, I had a big wet spot on my legs from where his head was, but I could always change later or just let it air dry.

Liam came in a short while later. He took one look at Niall and I and was about to have a full on panic attack. "Wha-?" 

"Shhhhh! He just fell asleep!" I hissed at Liam.

"Care to explain why he's sleeping on you?!" He whisper yelled.

"Yes actually I'd love to!" I whisper yelled back. Liam gave me a gesture that said 'ok, well continue them'

"His friends got into a car accident and one of them died," I said shortly "You lot were all still asleep, I was the only one here to comfort him!" I said a bit louder. Harry walked in right after that, obviously taking in the scene- Niall asleep in my lap, and the tension between Liam and I. He waggled his eyebows at me.

"I swear Styles, you're lucky he's asleep, if he wasn't I'd slap you so hard right now. And for Christ's sake! Is it really that hard to put a damn pair of underwear on?!?!?"

"WELL! Someone's a little over protective!" He yelled as he walked towards the kitchen. I looked down at Niall and of course, he was starting to wake up, no thanks to Harry -_-

"That was an awful dream..." Niall said quietly glancing up at me. I nervously glanced at Liam, we were having a silent conversation, whether or not to tell him that it wasn't actually a dream. I glanced down at Niall who actually seemed to pick up what was going on.

"That wasn't actually a dream... was it?" I gave a slight, sad shake of my head. He just sighed sadly. I rubbed his arm gently.

"We were gonna go golfing today if you want to come." Liam offered. Niall took a shakey breath and shook his head. "I think I'll just stay here and watch movies" the whole time he spoke I was afraid he was going to start crying again.

"We can stay with you if you want." Liam stated, yet again Niall shook his head.

"I don't want to stop you guys from having fun."

"Are you sure beca-"

"I'll stay, I don't particularly like golf anyway." I shrugged 

The boys left soon after that, practically dragging Zayn out the door, who was screaming profanities at the rest of the boys for taking him out in public before his hair was perfect.

"Pick out a movie, I'll be back in a minute, I'm going to make my favorite ice cream sundae, k?" He nodded silently and when over to the movie rack to pick something out.

I made my way to the kitchen, cut two brownies from the pan Liam  bought yesterday, warmed them in the microwave, put each in a bowl, then dug around in the freezer. "Aha!" Finally found the vanilla ice cream! Put three scoops on each brownie, some carmel sauce, then some whipped cream, and finally (my favorite part) some crushed butterfinger. I put a spoon in each bowl and walked back to the living room to hand a bowl to Niall, who's eyes widen considerably when he took in what was in the bowl.

"Are you trying to put me in sugar shock?!?!" But shut up quickly after he took a bite. I just shrugged "I was raised as an Italian, we have a sweet tooth, I don't know what else to tell you." I looked at the screen to see what Niall picked. The Woman in Black started playing, I grinned, this had to be one of my favorite movies of all time.

Halfway through the movie my eyelids started to feel heavy, I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer, so I just gave up and fell asleep.

*Niall's POV*

Alice fell asleep on me halfway through the movie, I pulled her closer to me, she was really warm. And she knew what I was going through. And she knows how to make a damn good sundae. And she loved horror movies too. And I was falling abosolutely positively head over heels in love with my best friends younger sister.
