The Only Reason

Plastic

I woke up crying. It was midnight. I had a terrible nightmare. I started to breath heavily. Niall woke up and turned to me. "What's wrong, love?" Niall said sleepily, his hair a mess and his voice raspy."I-i just had a nightmare," i replied frieghtened. I didn't quite remember what it was about once i woke up, all i know was i had a nightmare. "Awh, princess, come here," Niall pulled me close to his chest and rocked me back and forth. I wrapped my arms around his waist and i laid my head on his chest, using him as my pillow. Niall started singing a lulluby i'd never heard before. I didnt bother remember the lyrics, i would forget them in the morning anyways. I finally went back to sleep, with the sound of Niall's beating heart in my ear.

I woke up earlier that morning and no one was in their beds. Even Niall had left his bed. I guess i'm quite a heavy sleeper, considering he got up without waking me. The lights were still off. Maybe they kept them off for my sake. I heard a vauge voice come from the other end of the bus. Probably one of the boys. I didn't bother, i just shut my eyes and tried to go back to sleep.

I saw a sliver of light come from the door. Whoever was coming in, opened and closed the door quietly. I didn't open my eyes, thinking it was just one of the boys coming in to get something. I got that half right.

I felt someones lips against mine. I opened my eyes sleepily to a blurry, smiling Niall. "Good morning, love," Niall said, kneeling down to his knees to see me better. I groaned and burried my face in the pillow, turning away playfully. Niall let out a small huff. I turned slightly to see Niall with my right eye. He had the cutest little pouty face on. He laid his chin on the edge of the bed. HIs eyes were darker than usual. It was morning, that was probably why. 

I turned back around and smiled. Niall's eyes gleamed in excitement. I laid my head next to his. He kissed me slowly. "Better get up, or i'll end up eating your food for you," Niall said half joking. He pushed his arms on the edge of the bed to help him up. He got back on his feet and walked out the door, turning the light on.

I groaned loudly and gt up slowly. I had on one of Niall's hoodiesand some pajama pants with Olaf on them. I brought my blanket into the tour bus' dining room to grab my breakfast before Niall ate it. "Aye! There she is!" Liam announces. "Good morning!" Harry says with his croaky morning voice. I mumble a sleepily 'good morning' and sat in the chair next to Niall, my plate of food in front of me. "You got here just in time, Niall almost ate your breakfast," Louis said, the boys giggled. 

On the plate was some biscuits, 2 sasuage patties, and some eggs. Niall got up and went to the fridge. When he came back, he set a glass of apple juice, my favorite drink other than soda, in front of me. I half smiled. "You remembered," i said, taking a sip of my apple juice. "Yup," Niall replied, his voice still raspy. 

We headed back to our hotel, so i could pack my things. I had to go back home today. The boys helped me pack, letting out a little gasp here and there from seeing some of my things. Mostly with my bras and underwear. My flight wasn't until late tonight, though. My plane takes off at 10:00pm, so we had some time to hang out longer. Once i got all of my stuff packed up, we turned on Spongebob. A couple episodes in, Niall remebered something. "Stella Rose!" He yelled. I raised my eyebrows in acknowledgement. "Did you- notice anything with the roses i gave you?" Niall asked, running to my bag to fetch the roses. He hurried back and handed them to me. I examined them closly. I came to notice that there were only 11 real ones, the other 1 was plastic. 

"There's one plastic one," i looked at NIall confused, pointing to the plastic rose. "Yeah, I'll stop loving you when the last rose dies," He answered.
