Mute - Niall Horan

2 Days Later

Nellie's P.O.V

 I woke up laying in bed next to Niall. I looked at the time and saw that it was only 6am, this lead me thinking about things....

1) How I really wanted to talk, but I just couldn't build myself up to do it. I wanted to thank all the boys for their help and support, I mean I already have through sign language but I really wanted to say it in person. And I wanted that time to come quickly.  (comment which number chapter you think Nellie will start speaking!)

2) I found out about Harry's 'little' crush on me... That just made things a little more awkward. I was ignoring him because of what he said anyway but when the boys went to get dinner and I was left in the house alone with Harry he admitted it and told me not to tell Niall. The guilt is literally eating me up inside and I have no idea what to do.

3) Niall yesterday tried to persuade me to quit riding. Its not happening and nothing will change my mind

*Flash Back*

We were lying in bed, it was around 10:30pm and both me and Niall were quite tired. He turned the lamp beside the bed on, passed me my board and pen before turning his head to face me.

"I really don't like you riding" He said softly.

"But I enjoy it" I wrote.

"I know that but the crash could have been more serious, you can even die from riding" Niall told me, not like I didn't already know this.

"I know babe but i'm fine and I've done much worse." I wrote in response.

"I don't want to loose you" He said quietly.

"You wont, I promise" I wrote and put the board down on the floor beside the bed. I hugged Niall to try and reassure him, even if it did hurt my ribs a little...

*Flash Back End*

Niall began mumbling incoherent things in his sleep. He had a habit of doing this and I found it cute, like his own little insecurity because if I ever told him about it he would always be shy about it. I took my hand and began stroking his long blonde hair. I brushed his fringe away from his eyes. His eyes twitched a couple of times before they slowly opened, revealing his mezmorizing blue eyes.

"Hey little one" He said his voice full of sleep. I waved and he sat up. "How's your head and ribs?" He asked. I grabbed my board from the floor.

'My heads fine" I wrote and lifted my shirt a little so he could see the bruises all along my rib cage.

"The swellings gone down a little" He said, looking up at me and smiled. I nodded in response. 


Harry's P.O.V

 As I left my room I noticed Nellie leave Niall's. I smiled, she even managed to look cute in a tank top and a pair of sweats. The annoying thing was that I knew she was Niall's but it didn't feel right, she had to be mine. She gave me a slight smiled before looking down and jogging down the stairs.

Ever since ive yelled at her things have been a lot more awkward. I didn't mean to do it, I was just fed up of her not speaking. I just wanted to hear her voice. It would be so much easier than sign language or a board and pen. I sighed and made my way downstairs to find some food.


Nellie's P.O.V

Once everyone was dressed I took Louis hand and dragged him outside.

"Where are we going?" He asked as he followed me. I knew exactly where I was going.

"You'll see" I signed and he just continued to follow. We eventually came to the clearing that Niall told me about a few days ago. I sat on the grass and Louis sat beside me.

"Something's really annoying me" I signed.

"What's that Nel?" Louis asked.

"I really want to speak. I feel like im ready to but whenever I try I just freeze and cant do it" I signed.

"That's great," Louis exclaimed. "Try speaking in front of just me" He said. 

I opened my mouth to try and say hey but nothing came out...
