Life Saver(Niall Horan)

Chapter27- Starting Afresh.

Courtney's POV
I sat in the bathroom for at least an hour until my tears had stopped. I looked in the mirror seeing my worn out, pathetic self. I'm ugly, I'm fat, I'm worthless. These words spun around my head but I was quick to shut them off. I didn't want to be like. Not again. I picked up a hair tie and scooped my black hair into a pony tale which was rare, I always preferred my hair down and free but I didn't feel very free at that moment. I slowly opened the door.

"Right, Niall- oh." I looked at the bed seeing Niall curled in a ball asleep. His cheeks were bright red and his pillow stained with tears. Every now and then his breathing quickened- he was probably dreaming. I immediately broke down again but kept trying to hold it back. I knelt beside his bed stroking his hair softly then bent down and kissed his forehead. I closed my eyes to prevent tears from spilling out.

"I love you Niall." I whispered, biting my lip. I had no idea if I'd ever be loved or held by him again. I had no idea if I'd ever be heard or touched by him again. I never even knew if I'd see his face again. That was it for all I knew. Niall and I were no more.

I called Simon letting him know I wouldn't be able to take his offer. He didn't really share his option on the matter but booked us tickets home that night in two hours time from when I'd called him. I spoke to the girls about it and we all began to pack our bags. It felt like I was packing my bags on a part of my life. Not a holiday.

The plane journey seemed short; I slept for the majority of it until landing. I had a dream. It was just me and Niall sat down by the fire, a Christmas tree stood in the corner of the room and we drank hot chocolate. There was no sound just the faint familiar laughter that escaped his lips. I checked my phone. It was July 20th and I'd had a dream about Christmas. I hoped that by Christmas we'd be back together. Then I thought about my birthday in October and hope we'd be back together then... Then Nialls birthday in September. It kept getting further towards the date I was at. I affinities to myself that I wanted him then. I needed him then.

"This is your pilot speaking, we are about to land in Luton airport. The local time is 7:15pm and the temperature is 3 degrees Celsius. Hope you had a nice flight." The seat belt sign showed that we could take our belts off so I did with a prompt from Sarah.

"Come on Court." She smiled down at me. Ever so slowly I got up and reached for the overhead compartment. I went to grab my bag but it fell on the floor my stuff going everywhere I closed my eyes people looking at me. I bent down and picked up my things as quick as possible.

"Of all days! Why does nothing ever go right for me!" I felt tears come down my cheeks. It was the final straw. I felt someone take my arm, assuming it was one of the girls I didn't react.

"Um are you ok?" A deep voice enquired. Unless Hollys voice had got considerably deeper I had no idea who it was. I looked up and my mouth flew open as I realised who it was.

"Oh my god. Darren." I said.

"What a small world." He smiled an helped me up, collecting all my things.

Once we'd got off the plane Darren invited me for a drink at Costa before I went home. So I told the girls that I'd be back later, we were all sleeping at Sarah's that night.

"So why do you look so sad?" Darren said placing out hot beverages on the table.

"It's a long story." I sat and explained everything. Darren acc seemed sympathetic. Then we spoke about the future and what we want to happen. "Well I thought I had met the one obviously-"

"Maybe you have." He said.

"Me and Niall are meant to be I know but we will never g-"

"Not Niall, Courtney, me."
