Mute - Niall Horan

Niall's P.O.V

About 30 minutes after Louis got up and left, I did the same. I went to my room and grabbed a pair of shorts before heading to the bathroom. I locked the door and turned the shower on. I took my clothes off and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water run over my body, relaxing all of my muscles. I washed my hair and rinsed the suds out before turning the taps off and stepping out. I dried myself and put my shorts on before hanging up my towel and leaving the bathroom.

I went to my room and sat on my bed. I turned my TV on and switched the channel to football. Derby were playing and they were winning, 2 nil. I decided to sit there and watch the rest of the football match.




Nellie's P.O.V

 I woke up gasping for breath. I just had the same repeated nightmare that I have most nights. It was one about the total opposite of the accident. Louis was driving the car and I was in the passenger seat. We waved at mum and dad before a lorry swerved and hit us, killing me and Louis instantly.

I tried to go back to sleep but whenever I shut my eyes I felt scared of having the dream again. I gave up in the end and pushed the covers off me. I decided that I would go and see who else was awake as my phone said it was only 11:30pm. I peeped in Louis' door, he was asleep, so was Zayn and Liam, Harry was on the phone so I wouldn't disturb him. I saw the TV on in Niall's room. I walked up to the door and peeped in, he was sat in bed watching television. I knocked on the door quietly and he looked my way.

"Nellie" He smiled. "Come in"

I walked in and sat on his double bed beside him.

"What's up?" He asked. I saw a notebook and pen on his bedside table. I pointed at it asking if I could use it. "Sure" He smiled. I opened it to the first page.

'Nightmare' I wrote.

"aw" Niall frowned. He turned the TV off as the football match had just finished. I put the notebook and pen back where it was and Niall turned and hugged me. I felt safe in his arms, like nothing could get me because he was there. We layed down but he still had his arms around me. "I'll protect you" He whispered. I smiled and blushed a little, thank god it was dark though.

About 20 minutes later I heard soft snores coming from Niall. I turned over, still in his arms and looked at him. He looked so peaceful, relaxed and happy. I smiled before closing my eyes and slowly falling asleep again.





I woke up the next day and Niall was still asleep. I smiled and climbed out of his grip before going downstairs. I went into the kitchen and saw Louis stood their in lounge pants and a t-shirt. I went up to him and hugged him.

"Morning Nel" He smiled. I waved, signalling hello.

"How are you?" He asked.

'Good thanks, you?' I signed.

"Yeah not bad. Today the guys and I need to go to the gym for the morning, do you want to come?" He asked. I nodded, I loved exercising, I found it fun. I smiled and left the kitchen only to bump into someone. They put their hand behind my back to stop me falling before I returned to my feet. I looked up and saw a very sleepy Niall.

"Hey Nellie" He said tiredly. I waved and walked past him, continuing my way upstairs. I went to my room and changed into a tank top and gym pants before going to my desk. I grabbed a sheet of paper and I wrote a note.



  
Niall's P.O.V


As Nellie came down the stairs she took a folded piece of paper from her pocket and secretly shoved it in my pocket. I took it out and opened it, reading as I read it.

Thank you Niall for last night, it meant a lot to me and I finally felt safe for a first time in a long time.

I looked at her and smiled, before giving her a hug. Now was time to set off to the gym, LETS GO!
