That's When I Saw You {Neth Fanfic}

39. Together?

Beth's POV

I woke up slowly, refusing to open my eyes immediately as I shuffled around a bit to get myself comfy again. I heard someone chuckle, feeling their breath on my face as they did so. I assumed it was Niall, smiling as I opened my eyes. However, I screamed as I fell backwards off the bed once I realised that it in fact wasn't Niall, but Louis. He laughed as he crawled over to the side of the bed to look down at me on the floor.

"What the actual fuck are you doing in my bed?!" I shouted,

"Niall said you were asleep upstairs, and I said I'd wake you up." He shrugged nonchalantly.

"You didn't have to sit that bloody close to me." I huffed, standing up and straightening my clothes out.

"The others are downstairs waiting," He laughed, "We're having a song writing 'sesh'."

"Never say that ever again." I chuckled, following him out the door. "I don't even say that anymore."

"Don't be jelly that I'm down with the kids." He laughed.

I simply shook my head at him, pushing me out the door and towards the stairs, from where I could hear the others talking downstairs.

"Harry, oi pay attention." Tamsin snapped, clicking her fingers in front of his face to break his stare away from Jack, who was sat in his lap.

"Oh, what?" He said, looking a bit lost.

"We're talking about song ideas and you can't stop staring at that-"

"Pussy!" He said, "Cat. Pussy Cat."

Me and Tamsin before facepalmed at exactly the same time, whilst Niall was laughing hysterically and the others were just shaking their heads as they wrote down ideas for songs on notepads that they had in front of them.

"Anyway," She continued, even though it was obvious she was trying not to laugh, "Louis had a good idea."

"Yeah, Ready To Run." He nodded, pulling a bit of paper out from the back of his notepad, unfolding it and handing it to Liam.

"This time I'm ready to run, escape from the city and follow the sun." Louis sang, before Liam continued,

"Cos I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine, I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night." Liam paused, before nodding, "This is good, we need to keep this one."

Niall suddenly got up and left the room, coming back soon after with a scrumpled up piece of paper in his hand. I frowned, confused as to why he had been so quiet about it. He handed it to Liam, who scanned over it whilst Louis read it as well as he leant over his shoulder.

"This is great Niall, did you write this?" He asked,

"No, Ed did, but he mentioned before that it was a song that didn't make it onto his album but he wanted us to see if we liked it." Niall smiled.

"I'll talk to him about that, or maybe Harry could since they're better friends, eh Harry?" Louis said, looking up to Harry, "Harry? Harry!"

Harry's head shot up from the kitten once again who was now sleeping on his stomach as lay backwards with his head resting on Tamsin's lap.

"What? Oh yeah, I'll talk to him."

"Alright, anyone else got any ideas?"

The writing session carried on for a while after that, and eventually they had agreed among themselves that they had definitely decided on the songs that were and weren't going to make the album, and had also decided to celebrate by going back to the old apartment and having Harry make some celebratory tacos.

Niall and I had made up since the other day, and had agreed that we won't get angry at the other person for it. It was mainly for Niall, but there you are. We were driving to the apartment, when Niall suddenly looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"So, d'ya reckon if you were struck by lightning, you'd have super charged legs and be able to jump really high?"

"I think you'd have really bad nerve damage, but perhaps."

"I mean, you'd have more energy, like literally, like a human battery."

"Maybe you could run really fast."

"I should try that next time I need to go to the shops and not get recognised."

"I think this is one of the weirdest conversation's we've had."

"Agreed."

It was silent for a while, until Niall spoke up again.

"Harry called me earlier on, he said that we could record take of that song that Ed gave me." He grinned happily, "I'm really excited."

"I never got to look at it, can you show me?"

"I want it to be surprise, cos it kinda suits you." He smiled sheepishly, "We're here now anyway."

We pulled up outside the apartment, but I frowned as I saw a crowd gathering outside, with people looking worried as they dashed around.

Niall got out of the car, looking concerned as he speed walked over to see what was wrong. As I got out of the car, I noticing Niall was trying to calm someone down, and I saw it was Harry as I got closer. He looked really worried, his Harry was messed up from his running his hands through it. I got my phone out to call Tamsin, to see if she knew what was going on. But she didn't answer.

Niall rushed over to me, taking my arm and tried to lead me back to the car,

"Beth we need to-"

"No Niall what's wrong?"

"Beth-"

Suddenly the sound of an ambulance screeched from around the corner, the blue and red lights alluminating the buildings it passed. I watched as the paramedics leapt out of the ambulance, ushering the distressed people out of the way as they got a stretcher there.

When I crowd had parted, and the back doors of the ambulance had been opened to get the person in, I froze when I saw who it was.

Tamsin.
