Chapter 21~Death?

Nikki's POV

I walked in a beautiful meadow, full of many different types of flowers that made the air smell sweet. The clear, blue sky allowed the sun to light up the clearing. Only a few shaded areas were seen, and they were only there due to a couple of tall trees that swayed with the wind. Birds sang and bees buzzed all around me. I took in a deep breath as I saw my beautiful Niall sitting under a tree in the back corner. I skipped towards him; feeling as flawless as ever.

"Nikki" A familiar voice from behind me called in agony. I couldn't name whose it was, for I haven't heard it in a while. But it definitely was familiar, "Nikki, please help me."

I turned around to see my brother laying on the ground, wincing as he tried to move. He had blood all over his body and his camouflage uniform was all torn up and raggedy. He had died in action a few years ago when I was about 14.

"John!" I exclaimed and started running to him, tears starting to stream down my face. I hadn't seen him since his funeral and I hadn't talked to him for even longer. My strides were longer than ever and my legs moved like lightning. My body pulled to a stop. I was motionless as I heard Niall's sweet, sincere voice

"Nikki. I just want you to know that I absolutely love you. You mean the world to me and you're my everything. Without you, I don't know what I'll do. We have been through lots of fun times and they've been the best times of my life. The first is when I saw you at that concert. Right when I saw you, I knew that you'd be the one. You are absolutely perfect. Please, please don't die on me. I need you here. I love you."

"He needs you Nikki." John said, "A lot."

"You need me more." I said.

"But there's nothing you can do to help me. I'm dead Nikki; forever."

I started crying at the horrifying words and looked hopelessly back and forth at Niall and John. How was I supposed to choose? Either way someone was going to be sad; whether it was one of them, or myself.

I ran towards the opposite corner of the both of them to try to just think. John doesn't have any family members here. He needs someone with him. Yet, Niall needed me. He had the boys, but if he lost me, who knows what he'd do an what mistakes he'd make.

"What do I do?" I exclaimed to the sky, expecting an answer. I threw myself onto my back and stared at the clouds, "please help me."

"It's your decision, Nikki" a deep voice said from above me; yet, nothing was there, "But I'm giving you a second chance for a reason. Use it."

"I will." I stated, feeling confident with what I was about to do next. I walked over to my brother.

"I love you, John. I'll see you again, okay?" I said, a tear falling down my cheek.

"I know. Don't rush it though, Nikki. I love you."

I turned around and started walking towards Niall, thinking everything was normal. Until some sort of force was starting to push me towards John. It got harder and harder to move towards my wonderful boyfriend that was only but a few feet away from me. I ran back a little, and then ran as hard as I could and pushed my way to him. Yearning to be in his strong, warm arms.

"Come on, Nikki, you can do it." Niall said, encouraging me. I ran even harder and could feel that I was making progress.

I was maybe a few inches away and Niall pulled me into arms. My head rested on his chest and I held him tightly. The pushing force let me go and I was now all Niall's.

"I love you, Nikki." He said and squeezed me.

Niall's POV

The doctors tried and tried to do whatever they could to save Nikki's life. After a while though, they finally gave up.
