Niall Horan Imagines

Forgive Me (IV)

(Y/N)'s POV

Niall opened the door for me. I got out of the car and thanked him. I faced him blankly, waiting for him to say something.

"Here, follow me." Niall said as he reached out for my hand. "Close your eyes, please."

I placed my hand in his and closed my eyes hesitantly. Niall assured me, "Trust me with this, okay?"

I nodded slightly and I didn't say anything. My hand were intertwined with his, following his lead.

We walked in silence for a short distance, and I didn't know what to expect.

"You can open your eyes now love." I did as I was told. The first thing that came to my sight was Niall's beautiful smile. I smiled a little, then I looked around my surroundings. It was truly breath-taking.

"We're in the beach." I stated, wondering what he had in mind.

He chuckled and pull me so that I was directly facing him. His hands then made its way to the both of my hands. "Do you remember that this is the place where we first talked? And where we actually get to know each other?"

*Flashback*

"This December has been the worst one ever!" I picked up some small-sized stones and threw it into the seawater, in desperation of releasing my sorrows. If only I could relieve my sorrow just as easy as I throw those stones... In actual fact, it felt as if my sorrows were incurable.

I fell on my knees, feeling the need to crush the sand in my hands. Tears began to stream down my face as I continued to sob for what it feels like eternity. "What have I done wrong to ever deserve all this? Why must all this happen? Why? Why must he go through all these?"

I brought my knees to my chest and covered my face with the both of my hands, shaking my head relentlessly.

"Hey... Um, are you okay?" I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and heard a voice right beside me.

I shook my head once again, not even bothering to find out who that person is. I spoke softly, "No. Nothing is ever fine.... Leave me alone."

That person began to speak again, "What's wrong?... I'm hear to listen if you need anyone--"

I looked up to face the person, screaming, "Shut up! I said, leave me alone! I don't need anyone! Leave!"

My anger subsided just when I recognised who that person was. He was a friend of  Clara, my cousin that I was pretty close to. I have always thought that he was a good-looking boy, but I don't really know a thing about his personality.

I snapped out of my own train of thoughts when I realised that I was staring at his perfect face. I could see that he felt hurt, because I had just screamed at him for no reason. I shouldn't have done that to him, or anyone.

I let out a sigh and turned my face away to avoid eye contact. My voice turned soft, "I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of that."

"It's alright... May I sit next to you?" He said, his voice sounds gentle and friendly.

I wiped the tears in my face. I nodded, not saying a word. Silence followed for some time. He began to speak, "So, uh... I think I know you somehow... What's your name?"

"You said you know me, but you don't even know my name." I replied simply. I wasn't in my right mind to actually be friendly to people. I just need some space alone.

He giggled a bit. "Right..."

Once again, silence filled the atmosphere. Neither Niall or I have spoken up. I stared at the waves and eventually landed in a world of my own. When I glanced at him, he was playing with the sand silently next to me. I turned my gaze back to the waves. It makes me feel relaxed to look at the waves. They seemed so gentle yet harsh at the same time, if that's even possible.
