Mute - Niall Horan

3.

The next morning I woke up top the sound of people talking downstairs. I got up and grabbed some clothes before making my bed and heading off to the shower. I had a shower and washed my hair before getting out and turning off the taps behind me. I dried myself and put on my leggings and my flowy floral top.

I smiled at myself in the mirror in satisfaction before leaving and going downstairs. I walked into the kitchen because that was where all the voices were coming from. Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall were all sat round the table while Harry was stood at the oven, making what seemed to look like pancakes.

"Morning Nellie" Harry chirped. I waved at everyone and sat beside Liam as it was an available seat. "Do you want some pancakes for breakfast?" Harry asked. I nodded and smiled, I loved pancakes.

'What are we doing today?' I wrote on my board and showed everyone.

"I was thinking we should all go to the beach?" Liam suggested beside me.

"That's not a bad idea" Zayn added.

"Nellie, are you okay with the beach?" Niall asked me, he was sat directly opposite me. I nodded. He smiled and Harry came over with my plate of pancakes. I smiled at him as if to say thank you and he nodded, obviously knowing what I meant.

I grabbed my fork and began to eat my pancakes slowly. When I was finished I got up and put my plate in the sink. I then went upstairs and put my bikini on under my clothes just in case we were going to the beach. I then went back downstairs and saw that the boys were setting up for the beach.

'Need me to do anything?' I signed to Louis, seeing as he could understand.

"You could grab six towels from the towel cupboard upstairs please?" He asked. I nodded and went upstairs to fetch them. I then came downstairs with six folded towels in my arms. The tower to towels was so tall I couldn't see over them. I walked out to the car and put them in the boot. Niall then came out with a picnic basket and put that beside the stack of towels.

"Everyone ready?" Harry called. The boys all replied with 'yes' and I just smiled and nodded. We all got in the car and I was still in the back beside Niall with Louis driving this time. They told me it was something like a two hour drive to the beach as we were in the middle of London.

"So how do you say please in sign language?" Niall asked, turning to face me. I just showed him how it was done. He copied. "Like that?" He asked. I nodded and clapped to congratulate him.

"Now how do you say thank you?" He asked. Again I showed him, he copied and checked it with me and I clapped him in congratulation.

Pretty much the whole way to the beach was teaching Niall the basics, then halfway there Liam turned around from in front of us and began to join in. It was fun teaching the boys sign language and I made the trip go faster than what it seemed.

When we got to the beach we grabbed the towels and went down to the actual beach part. We left the towels on the stones. The tide was right out which meant that we could use all of the sand which was great! Louis, Liam and Harry and ran straight out to the waters edge to go swimming. Niall Zayn and I all went onto the wet sand to begin building a massive sandcastle.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About an hour later we were all at the waters edge and decided to go in and have our packed lunch. The boys all raced back to shore and i followed slowly behind them. I then accidently stepped in a bit that was mud and i fell, waist depth into it. The boys were still racing and i couldnt yell to get their attention. The tide had turned a little while ago and was on its way in. I clapped really loudly in hopes that they would hear it but they didnt.

"Where's Nel?" I heard Louis ask faintly as he was so far away. They all turned and gasped, seeing me stuck waist depth in mud.

"Try and push through it slowly. its happened to my brother before" Niall advised. I tired to walk through it but it took a lot of energy as i was only light and short and didnt have much force compared to this slick mud.

"That's it, keep going" Liam yelled.

I saw Harry and Zayn go back to the car to get the picnic probably. Eventually after 25 minutes of trying i finally managed to get through and get to the shore. I walked up to the stones and collapsed on them in exhaustion. I felt a warm pair of arms being wrapped around my body. I wuickly signed something and looked up, seeing Niall.

"She said dont hug me as you'll get muddy too and it feels horrible!" Louis translated.

"I dont care about the mud, all i care is that you're safe now" Niall told me. I smiled and accepted his hug. We waited till the tide came in a bit so i could go and wash this mud off. Liam greeted me with an open towel as i walked up the shore. I walked into it and he wrapped it round me before giving me a hug and i sat on the stones besdie Louis.
