Chasing Ari (a 1D Fanfic )

Chapter 28

***Niall's POV***

I hadn't seen Nicole in forever. Not since the day I realised she was a little more than off her rocker. But she was here now, so I might as well go with the flow.  

A breeze picked up and Nicole shivered. She pulled my arm around her and snuggles into my side. I didn't object, or move my arm. It was getting cold out here anyways, and sitting in my tank top wasn't bringing much warmth to me.

Ari was sitting on the couch to my left, now alone since Liam left for drinks. She was laughing it up with Zayn and Louis. Probably, about 'The Wanted' reference that Louis mentioned not so long ago. 

Liam had returned with the drinks and placed them on the table. Sydney, and Harry weren't going to be playing, Sydeny doesn't drink, but then again, we thought Liam didn't drink either. Sydney and Harry  rather, would be singing the song as the rest of them played. I wasn't sure if Nicole was playing or not, but I hope she'll sneak me a drink every once in a while. 

"So, which song are we doing?" I inquire strumming the guitar's strings absent mindedly.

Zayn suggested, "I Found You?"

Louis nods in approval, "Nice choice. "

I play the notes to the song as Harry starts singing.

"She wants me to come over

I can tell her eyes don't lie

She's calling me in the dark

She moves us around the room where the lights turn like the sky

Confidence like a rock star"

 The group raised their drinks, knowing what is about to come.

"I wanna put my hands on her hands" 

We toast the first drink of the game. Nicole even giving me a sip as I played.

"Feel the heat from her skin

Get reckless in the starlight

I'm moving to the beat of her heart

I was so lost until tonight, tonight"

 Second round of drinks.

"I found you, in the darkest hour

I found you, in a pouring rain

I found you, when I was on my knees

And your love pulled me back again

Found you in a river of pure emotions

I found you, my only truth

I found you, with the music playing"

Six drinks later, Louis and Zayn are laughing about what a great song choice this really was. 

 "I was lost til I found you, you, you

Til I found you, you, you"

"But you guys,"  Ari begins to protest but she doesn't finish her sentence, she just laughs along with  Liam as Sydney starts the next verse.

"The night is getting colder

And I can't come off this high

I don't want this here to end

I know she feels the same

Cause I can see it in her eyes

She says can we start again
