Mute - Niall Horan

9.

 Nellie's P.O.V

 When I woke up the next day I was on my side. Niall had his arm wrapped protectively over the top of me. His head was near my shoulder and every time he breathed out his soft warm breath ran down my neck. I smiled and carefully tried to remove his arm from my body. He mumbled something incoherent but I managed to escape. I went into my room and put on a pair of leggings and a baggy t-shirt. My body ached from riding yesterday and i was still super tired.

I wrapped my fluffly blanket round me as I was cold and decided to go back to the warmth of Niall. I went back in his room and snuggled up into his chest.

"Morning little one" Niall smiled and hugged me. I smiled, looking up at him.

"What we doing today?" I signed. That was one phrase I had taught everybody and they had all learnt it.

"Um, we might be going go karting or bowling or the cinema, it depends on what everyone wants to do" Niall replied. I nodded and smiled.

Once everybody was up and had had breakfast we agreed to go go-karting. We all booked at the nearest Go-kart centre. The boys got ready before we left. We decided to walk there as it was within walking distance. The man there gave us a safety talk before we got to put on the racing outfits and helmets.

We then all went out on the track and got into the karts. They were so low to the ground. I could barely see over the steering wheel as I was so short. The man didn't think it was safe so told me to get out and get in a kids one. This only made all of the boys laugh at me but the kart itself was definitely much better, I could actually see where I was going this time. 

The man grabbed his flag and stood to the side before counting down from three and waving it. We were off! I was currently in second behind Liam. I took the corner but Zayn came up the inside of me. I put my foot down a bit more and over took him, keeping my second place.

I definitely think that doing speedway does help with go kart racing as it is all about sense of distance and speed. Two things that I am good at.

I managed to over take Liam and come in first. I raced my second lap and lapped Harry who had crashed into the tyre fence. I pulled a 'loser' sign as I drove past and he just stuck his tongue out at me.

I raced the third lap and finished, coming in 1st. The boys all crossed the line after me. Liam in second, Niall in third, Louis in fourth, Zayn in 5th and Harry was still stuck on the tyres so the man went over to help him. When he was free he drove round to the line to join us.

"I think the boys should race this one and whoever wins goes up against Nellie, See who is the strongest racer of you lot" the man suggested. I nodded, liking his idea and the boys did so I pulled into the lay by bit and watched the boys race.

There was lots of rivalry out on the track, people over taking each other, muffled swear words, bumps and shoves but Zayn was the one who came first. Then Niall, then Louis then Harry then Liam.

I pulled up to the line next to Zayn. The man counted down from three and waved the flag. I put my foot on the accelerator and sped off, on Zayn's tail. 

He took the first bend to wide, allowing me to zoom through the space in the middle. I smiled and rode round, taking each corner slow and close. Another thing I had learnt while riding speedway.

We did the three laps and I did come first. Which was a great feeling I must say.

Once we had spent the day at the go kart track we went to the ice cream parlour and ordered ice cream. I had a 'birthday cake' flavoured one which was very nice. Liam had bubblegum, Zayn had mint choc chip, Louis had toffee, Harry had Pistachio and Niall had a plain boring Vanilla.

We all ate our ice creams on the walk home and put our napkins in the bin when we got there. I went upstairs and had a shower, before changing into a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt and hoodie. I went downstairs and heard the boys in the music room. I went in and sat on the spare stool that was in there.

I sat and listened as the boys sang their own songs as well as a few covers. I smiled as they sang, it sounded great, much better in person than on a CD.

After that we all decided just to chill in the living room and watch a bit of television. The news was on so the boys watched that. I was sat on the sofa with Niall and my head was rested gently against his chest. 

"Go to sleep if your tired, i'll carry you to bed if necessary" Niall whisepered as he noticed me trying to fight sleep. Eventually i gave in and slowly fell asleep to the sound of Niall's heart and the boys talking to one another while Niall was stroking my hair. I was difinitely much happier here than living on my own....
