Mute - Niall Horan

8.

Niall's P.O.V

We were in the forest, me, Nellie, Louis, Harry, Liam and Zayn. We all decided to play hide and seek and I agreed to find everyone as I was rubbish at hiding. The others ran off and I stood against a tree and covered my eyes with my hands. I slowly counted to 50 before turning round and beginning my search. I found Zayn pretty easily hiding in a bush so he joined me on the search. He said he didn't know where the others went but Liam wasn't that far away. We were walking down the path when Zayn pointed to a branch in the tree. I looked up and saw Louis peering down at us.  "Found you!" I called and he came down, joined us on the search. We decided to go off the path and walk through the grass. That's when I saw Liam, laying under a fallen tree. He noticed that we had found him so he came out and joined us. Only Nellie, and Harry to find. We sat on a log and discussed searching strategies. We decided that Nellie would be somewhere quite small and hidden but we all knew as soon as Harry saw us he would laugh or move, giving his hiding place to us immediately. We got up and continued searching, looking high and low for the remaining two people. "Over here" Louis said in a hushed voice. We all followed him and inside a hut built from sticks Harry was sat on the floor. He laughed (just like we had predicted) and got up. Boys down, Nellie to go. We had no idea where she would be and she didn't speak so that made it just a slight bit harder. We were just wandering through the grass where I saw something laying beside a log. I ran up to it only to see the worst thing ever. Nellie was laying there, covered in blood with her neck cut open. There was no way that she would be alive. There was a note pinned to the log beside her.
Horan,
Well, one is down, four to go eh? Be careful what you wish for, how you act and where you go. You never know what might happen and when?
??????
I showed the boys and they were all as shocked and upset as I was. Louis and I were the only two crying, Liam was trying to comfort me while Zayn and Harry were trying to comfort Louis. We just sat there for hours and hours comforting each other, telling each other it would be okay when we all knew that in reality it wouldn't be. Nothing was ever ok. The only thing you need to prove it is Society. Society is messed up these days anyway. Society is wrong. Dead wrong at that. We are taught that fake is beautiful. We are taught to believe that miniature waists and fake tans are beautiful. We are convinced that the blonde girls with the perfect smile will win every time. But the truth is, originality is beautiful, big brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, curves, your natural skin tone is beautiful. Your hair colour, your smile, your voice, your laugh, your personality every inch of you is beautiful. Every single part of you shines with your essence. Every girl is beautiful. But society doesn't see it like that.
I looked back at Nellie only to burst back into tears. I was going to find out who did this and I am going to kill them.



























































































































I woke up in a sweat and Nellie was beside me hugging me. I relaxed, seeing that she was there and alive. I lied back down and stared at the ceiling before turning my head to face Nellie. She was there, hugging me. I turned on my side and hugged her, making sure she was close to me. It felt nice just knowing that she was there. I looked down at her and she looked up at me with a questioning look.

"Dream" I said. Her questioning look continued. "What was it about?" I asked her. She nodded. "We were all playing hide and seek in the forest and I was the hunter and I had found everyone but not you, we then found you and you were dead and there was a note, a scary one at that and then something to do with society came in" I explained.

She gave me a sympathetic look and hugged me even tighter. I loved this, knowing that she was my girlfriend, that she was there, that she was comforting me, even if it was in silence it still felt special. That she cared and it was obvious that she did. That she loved me as much as I loved her and as much as she knew everything about me. I felt, loved, wanted and needed. Three things that I hadn't felt before Nellie came into my life.


I know this was really short I liked the specialness of it. I woke up at 2am with this idea therefore had to write it down while it was in the moment. The whole thing in the dream about society is true, you are all beautiful no matter what your shape or size is. STAY STRONG GIRLS <3
