The Perfect Storm (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 13 -- A Song From The Lost

Zayn's P.O.V.

I felt so bad for Elsa. I had no idea how to make the nightmares go away and she said Niall was the only one who knew how and there was no way I was going to bring him here. He would just hurt her again, but then again, maybe he could help her. I'll give it another night and see what happens. When I woke up this morning, Elsa was sound asleep. I hated to leave her, but the boys and I were heading to the studio today before we started the next leg of our tour. When I got to the studio, Niall was the only one there so far.

“Niall, we need to talk.” I said and I motioned for him to follow me into another room.

“What's up man?” he asked.

“You're the only person to cure the nightmares.” I said as I closed the door.

“What?” he asked.

“She's having the nightmares again. You know? About her parents?” I asked.

“No. No she can't be.” he said and started running his hands through his messy blonde hair.

“She is.” I said.

“I thought I cured those nightmares a long time ago. I don't know what to do.” he said.

“You need to know something else.” I said.

“What?” he asked.

“She's still in love with you.” I said.

“What?” he asked with shock in his voice.

“She told me last night.” I said.

I watched as tears filled his eyes and he sobbed a little.

“And you still love her, don't you?” I asked.

“I never stopped.” he sobbed. “I don't know how she'll ever forgive me or how I'll ever win her back. She won't even look at me.”

“Well, I'm gonna ask her today if she wants to come on the tour with us. She's not ready for us to leave. She needs all of us and I think it would be best if she came with us.” I explained.

“That's a great idea.” Niall said.

“How about you come back to my place with me after we're done here and we'll see if she'll talk to you or not.” I suggested.

“That sounds great. Thanks man.” he said and we fist bumped.

Later that night

“Thanks for allowing me to come over Zayn.” Niall said as we walked inside my flat.

“No problem. I mean you're one of my best mates.” I said.

“Zayn, what's that noise?” Niall asked. I quieted down and I heard the faint sound of guitar strumming and a female voice. Niall and I followed it and that's when we saw Elsa out on the porch strumming her old guitar and singing.

Elsa's P.O.V.

As I was laying down on the couch, I remembered I had brought my old guitar with me and some old lyrics. So I skipped to my room and grabbed the things that I needed and sat down on the balcony. I started tuning it and I smiled when I got the right tune. I then cleared my voice and started singing.

“I can be tough. I can be strong, but with you, it's not like that at all. There's a girl that gives a shit. Behind this wall you just walked through it.”
“And I remember all those crazy things you said. You left them running through my head. You're always there, you're everywhere, but right now I wish you were here. All those crazy things we did. Didn't think about it, just went with it. You're always there, you're everywhere, but right now I wish you were here. Damn, Damn, Damn. What I'd do to have you here, here, here. I wish you were here. Damn, Damn, Damn. What I'd do to have you near, near, near. I wish you were here.”
“I love the way you are. It's who I am don't have to try hard. We always say, say it like it is. And the truth is that I really mi-I-iss. All those crazy things you said (things you said). You left them running through my head (through my head). You're always there, you're everywhere, but right now I wish you were here. All those crazy things we did (things we did). Didn't think about it, just went with it (went with it). You're always there, you're everywhere, but right now I wish you were here.”
Damn, Damn, Damn. What I'd do to have you here, here, here. I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn. What I'd do to have you near, near, near. I wish you were here.”
No, I don't wanna let go. I just wanna let you know. That I never wanna let go (Let go, oh, oh). No, I don't wanna let go. I just wanna let you know. That I never wanna let go(Let go let go let go let go let go let go let go).
Damn, Damn, Damn. What I'd do to have you here, here, here. I wish you were here (I wish you were here). Damn, Damn, Damn. What I'd do to have you near, near, near. I wish you were here. Damn, Damn, Damn (Damn). What I'd do to have you here, here, here (Here). I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn. What I'd do to have you near, near, near. I wish you were here.” I sang.

I sighed and then set my guitar down and let the wind blow through my hair. I can't believe I admitted to Zayn last night that I still love Niall. I guess I never realized I did until I actually said it out loud.

Niall's P.O.V.

Hearing her beautiful voice ring through my ears, sent a shiver up my spine. Knowing she still loved me, made me go insane.

“Mate, she's still head over heels for you.” Zayn said.

“You think so?” I asked.

“Listen to her. She didn’t' just write that for anyone. That's for you.” Zayn said.

As I was about to say something, until Elsa finished singing and then she got up and headed inside. We quickly sat down at the couch and when she walked in, she stopped in her tracks. We made eye contact and she slightly smiled at me and looked away.

“Hey beautiful!” Zayn hollered as his attention was still focused on the t.v.

“Heyy.” she said and pulled a water out of the fridge. “When did you guys get back?”

“Like a minute ago.” I lied.

“Oh okay.” she said.

“Elsa, there's something I wanna ask you.” Zayn said.

“Omg Zayn you're gonna ask me to marry you. I knew it.” she said in the most fangirl voice ever.

“In your dreams Blake.” he laughed.

“Ehhh you're not my type anyway.” she said.

“And why's that?” he smirked.

“Just reasons.” she said and turned back to the kitchen. Zayn instantly got up and threw her over his shoulder.

“Zayn Malik put me down now.” she demanded.

“Nope. Not until you tell me your reasons.” he said.

“There is none. I lied.” she laughed.

He then smiled and plopped her down on the couch next to me.

She was laughing and when we made eye contact she stopped and scooted away.

“Now what we're you gonna ask me Zayn?” she asked.

“Well Ms. Blake, I was wondering, and so we're the other boys, would you wanna come on tour with us?” he asked.

I watched as she just stared at him and then she broke into that gorgeous smile of hers.

“I would love to!” she squealed and threw her arms around Zayn. “Where are we going?”

“North America.” I said.

“Really?” she asked and turned to look at me.

“Yup.” I said while popping the p.

“I'm so excited.” she said and smiled at me.

I gave her a smile back and I swear I could see the love she still had for me in her eyes.
