Rocky Road (Completed)

Chapter 4

Niall's POV

" I still remember the day, the lads and I were out of the house. We had a meeting and we left the two girls there, for some reason trusting them, thinking they wouldnt tell. Eve had found a working phone, used it to make me think Nando's was shutting down, and hadn't used it to get out, to do anything but a smiple prank. It makes me think everyday, why hadn't they used the damn phone to get out?" I say, a tear rolling down me face. " I remember how we all talked about Simon that day, and she had said something about him and he came walking up behind her and said ' What About Simon?'. Her face was priceless, so damn funny. It was another one of those times, ya know, you just wouldn't forget. One of those times you refuse to forget." I say, ending off. My throat was starting to close up as more tears filled my eyes, ready to flow over as I look up towards the sky. I look out at the crowd to see the lads and Carly, all sitting front row, crying. I look out, across the feild to see the lights from the stage I stand on today, flashing upon the trees and branches, the colorful leaves.

I sighed before I said anymore. " Eve was a girl.Eve was a little girl. She had never did anything to hurt anyone, more to protect them. She put any and everyone in front of her. She didn't tell anyone her problems, in fear her problems would of hurt anyone else." The tears started to fall, and I laugh sourly. " Look where that got her now. " I couldn't say anymore. I physically could not say anymore about the girl that was my bestfriend.

I turn, keeping my head down, and going down the small stage steps. I head over to my seat and all is quiet while everyone stares up at the stage , not a word being said. Louis stood up, starting to walk towards the stage.

" Hello everyone." He said into the bright pink mic. Everyone , or atleast mostly everyone, nodded their heads at him.

" Eve.. Eve uh, Eve was something else. She had this thing about her, where her words just smoothly fell from her lips. She had this thing about her that made not only me but alot of people fall in love with her. Eve had these bright eyes, that even in the darkness times had that slight sparkle in them. Eve was a girl. A girl could change a life with just a look. That girl really knew how to look to. She knew how to give one of the sweetest looks to one of the most scary looks, hell, her looks could kill you. I know my Eve, I knew she's sitting here, with us. I know she is laughing at me, Watching me stumble over my own words, watch these tears run down my face as if nothing is wrong. I know she's sitting criss- cross in front of Carly, with a damn smile on her face as she watches the whole fucking world fall apart because of her." Louis had said and for some reason, I turned to look in front of Carly, maybe just maybe, she'd be there.

" I know she's sitting here, listening to the memories each of us keep saying, one after another. I know she's happy. I know she hates what we're doing, how we stand here today, thinking for some odd reason this will make her happy. I know for a fact it won't but, even so, We, I, still do. Too feel something. I know she probably wants to punch me in my face right now. I know she'd wanna cuddle little Nialler over there. I know she'd like to sitting with Zayn, wanting to speak with him. To see him flick his wrist one more time and watch the paint splatter the page. I knew she loved his paintings. I know she'd wanna sit in the living room with Liam, watching movies and talking about the deepest shit that no one really wants to hear but them. I know she'd like to go to the mall with Carly and not buy anything. Just sit there and have the time of their life making the most trouble." Louis reaches his hand up, wiping his tears.

He stops moving for a quick second. I ponder on why but, then I know. He breaks down. He turns around, slightly pacing, as he runs his hands through his hair. He turns around looking out at everyone. He sees us, he sees Carly, he sees Eve's family. He sees Carly's family. He sees all of Eve's friends. He sees all the memories that didnt happen in this damn city.
