Chapter one; Samantha

My mum and I are driving for about an hour now, listing to some music and talking about regular stuff. We’re heading towards the hospital, where my granny is. I’m pretty scared to actually see her with all the wires and stuff. With only 10 minutes till our arrival, my mum started to sense the nerves. Watching cars passing by, and rain falling on the street, my thoughs drove far away.

My grandma is, or basically was, a really strong and powerfull woman. Untill a year ago, when she got diagnosed with Parkinson. Psyically she broke down, began to shake and within a few weeks she wasn’t able to walk straight anymore. When we would visit her, she was never able to express her emotions, that’s what the disease does. Now my granny has broken her hip, while falling down in the bathroom. With the broken hip and the disease, she is basically a mess. I’m scared to see her in the hospital, vornurable and weak. I tried to stay away from that place, which caused my family to kind of hate me I guess. But now is the time to face it, I know that it took me a while but i think I’m ready now.

Taking in a deep breath of fresh air, while stepping out of the car, we walked towards the doors of the hospital.

My mum lead us to the second floor, room 244, where gran was staying.

She looked at me; ‘are you sure you can handle it hun?’

I looked at the door, and then back at her: ’ i guess so, kind of need to go now huh.’ I failed hard in trying to lighten up the mood.

She gave me a worried look and pushed the door open. I saw granny lying in a big white bed, with wires and needles everywhere. She looked terribale, small and pale. Half of her face was wounded, so it seemed, and you could see her bones through her skin. I gasped for air, a flash of pain shot to my heart, and felt my cheeks burn. Turning to my mum I mumbled: ‘I need a minute okay?’ And with that I ran out. 

Tears were falling fast as I reached the empty hallway, and found a chair. Trowing myself into it, I broke down. I sobbed quietly. After a while I pulled out my ipod, not entirerly ready to go back.

I pressed shuffle, and closed my eyes to recover my strength. After some Adele and Coldplay’s Fix You, I slowely opened my eyes again and whiped my tears away. Then I realised that I wasn’t alone anymore. There was some guy sitting next to me. He had worried eyes, and looked down at the floor. I looked at him; he had blonde, messy hair, beautiful blue eyes, and light colored pants, with a navy blue hoodie. I pulled out my headphones, as he started talking:

‘You okay ?’ He looked at me with comforting eyes.

‘Well, better than a few minutes ago, thanks’

‘Wanna talk about it?’ He asked.

‘Errm,’ I started to blush and look away, not used to opening up about my feelings, especially not to random strangers. ‘Well, I-it’s my grandma, she’s not very w-well’. Tears starting to appear again, as I tried to blink them away.

He saw my struggle and quickly but sweetly said:

‘Shit. That sucks. You don’t have to talk though, I can see that you’re getting upset by it. Want some tea or choco to calm down?’

I smiled thankfully and nodded, while he got up and offered me a hand.

‘Thanks’

I felt a bit better after the crying, and with the thought of something warm to drink, my head cleared a little.

He smiled: ‘I’m Niall, and here to help’  He winked and looked at me, waiting for response. I looked at him, never thought that I would make a friend (or something like that) today.

‘Hi Niall, I’m Samantha, but you better call me Sam’

A laugh bursted out, as we walked downstairs to the canteen.

‘Allright then Sam, hot choco or tea ?’

‘Choco all the way’ I answered him and with two choco’s we took place at a loungy chouch.

‘So what brings you here ? I’ve shared my tears and stuff, now it’s your turn’

Blowing on the hot liqiud he answered me calmy:

‘My best friends sister Jess is here, after she’d been hit by the schoolbus. She has been in coma for the past 3 days, and the doctors don’t know wheter she will make it through or not.’

A sad look turned into his eyes, as he continued.

‘She’s only 9, and she is much like a younger sister to me. We were always dancing around and playing games and stuff. I’m praying that she will make it, not so much hope though.’

I looked at him, trying to find the right words to say.

‘Wow, that really is unfair. I don’t even know what to say, sorry Niall’

He smiled at me:

‘It’s okay, that’s life I guess. So now let’s just talk about something different, shall we?’

I took a sip of the choco, and immidiatly regretted it; the coco burned my toung, and as I shallowed it, it burnt all the way down my body. Niall noticed it, and started laughing. ‘There is a reason why they call it hot coco Sam’

‘Yeaah I kind of forgot to blow’ I laughed too, luckily my stupid move had lighten up the mood.

Chapter two.

Niall was really nice to talk too, he listened well and was truely interested. Plus his eyes were beautiful, and his smile made me feel happier in some way. After half an hour of talking, laughing and watching people, I stood up.

‘I have to go back’

Unwillingly throwing our cups away, I turned around. I was scared to go back, and I liked talking to this guy, he was really nice and fun to be around, no awkwardness at all.

‘Are you sure you’re ready?’ He asked the same as my mum this morning. But this time I knew what I was getting myself into, and I nodded firmly.

‘Yep, I hope so. How about you? You’re going back as well ?’

‘Yeah, I have to comfort my buddie Luke and I hope they have any good news.’ His eyes got some hope in them, as he watched the clock. ‘The doctors always report at 1, so they just finished’

I followed his gaze, it was 10 pas 1 already.

‘Good luck Niall, and thanks for, you know, everything’

I locked my eyes with his, secretly wishing that we would meet again.

‘Thanks Sam, I had fun talking to you. Take care’

He leaned foreward to give me a hug.

I smiled and whispered in his ear that I would take care, if he would do the same.

With that I walked away. A new confidence grew in me, talking to him gave me power to face my grandma. I looked back to see Niall stare out a window. I would definitly want to see him again.

Niall’s POV

I watched the rain pouring down outside, as I thought about Sam. She was pretty, she had brown, straight hair, brown sparkely eyes, and a nice smile. She was wearing jeans and a simple shirt, with a beige cardigan. She looked so cute. But more importantly, she was a really sweet girl to talk to. It felt like we’ve known each other for years already. And yes, that sounds cliche, but it’s true okay?

I turned around to go back to Jess (and Luke), whishing for good news with all my heart.

Walking into the room, I immidiatly knew something was up, something bad. Luke was crying and holding Jess’ hand. While her parents looked at her with desperate looks in their eyes.

‘What did they say?’ I asked, afraid of the answer.

‘She has some bleedings inside her body, but they can’t fix it because she’s to fragile to survive an operation.’ Luke answered me in one breath, trying to hold back his tears.

I wasn’t really sure what this meant. Or, actually, I hoped it didn’t mean what I thought it would mean. But Luke spoke those words i never wanted to hear:

‘She. Is. Going. To. Die. ’ He poured out every word with a large breath. Trying desperatly to control himself.

 I walked up to him, and hugged him tightly, while letting my own tears fall down. We sat there for the rest of the day, saying nothing, just everyone with their own thougths, their own tears and their own memories.

chapter threeeee.

Sams POV

Entering the room for the second time, i looked at my mum first. She smiled at me, pulling me in for a hug.

‘I’m proud of you for trying Sam’

After that a heard a weak, soft voice, belonging to my granny.

‘Hey honeybee, how are you?’

I slowely turned around, facing her. Taking in a deep breath I answered:

‘Better than you I see, granny you look so vornuable!’ I walked up to the bed, still a little scared.

She tried to smile, but failed.

‘So no hug or kiss anymore?’ She pouted looking at me.

I laughed. ‘Of course granny, just a light kiss then, I’m afraid to hurt you.’

My mum and I spent the afternoon besides her bed, talking and telling each other memories.

Around 5 oclock we went back, after saying goodbye to granny, we passed the canteen where Niall and I sat. I smiled to myself, it was a pretty good day after all.

When we sat down in the car, my mum pulled up as I looked at the hospital once more. All of a sudden I spotted Niall walking on the third floor. He looked sad, head down and hands in his pockets. I felt bad, somehow I wanted to comfort him, as he did with me this afternoon. He looked like he could use some. I think he heard some bad news about Jess. That is real bad, she was still so young! She had a whole life infront of her. I wonder how bad the news was. I wanted to run towards Niall and hug him.

But my mum already headed to the highway.

 

Niall’s POV

I walked trough the hallway, lost in my own thoughts. I wasn’t allowed to spend the night at the hospital, cause I’m not family of Jess’. Luke was more calm now than he was this afternoon, luckily. We held each other for 2 hours, and after that he started talking. Talking was always a good way for him to clear his mind. For me on the other hand, the talking made me feel sligthly worse. I felt a bit relieved that I had to go home, to be honest. Now all i wanted to do is take a shower and play the guitar. And have a good old crying session, with ice cream. Those things cleared my head a little. 

Entering my appartment, I threw myself on the chouch. That’s when I broke down. There was no one who needed comfort, or a listening friend. Just me and my own pain. I could finally let it all out.

The next morning I woke up with a mess around me, I was confused for a second, but the events of yesterday came rushing back quickly enough. I sighed and thought about Jess, but also about Sam. I wanted to see her again. Talking to her felt so comfortable. All of a sudden my thoughts were interrupted. A text from Luke; come here. It is time. x

I knew what he meant. Jess was going to die. I grabbed some food for breakfast, and hopped into the metro. 10 minutes later I arrived at the hospital, running as fast as i could towards Jess’ room. 

She was still alive, some people were saying goodbye. Luke crashed into me:

‘I’m so glad you’re here dude.’

He looked awful, circles around his eyes, and pale.

I hugged him tightly;

‘I’m always here for you okay?’

I heard him cry. It was 10 oclock, en it wouldn’t take long anymore.

When most of the people had gone home, it was my turn to say goodbye.

Lightly squeezing Jess’ hand, I wispered a few words into her ears. She was like my little sister. I wachted her for a while, letting my tears fall.

One hour later she was gone. 9 years old, now at some place else to spread her love and happiness.

My tears stopped running, all of a sudden I felt so tired.

I looked at Luke, who sat infront of the window. He looked exhausted too.

Knowing he would be asleep in two minutes, I walked up to him, saying goodbye.

‘If you need me, you wanna talk or just be around, call me yeah?’

He nodded lightely.

As I left the room, I felt that the tears were back again. Not bothering to whipe them away I walked to the metrostation. Lost in thoughts I crossed over, when I hear a car coming. I looked to my left, and I saw blurry a car about 10 inches infront of me. I froze. It was already too late.

 

Samantha’s POV

As I woke up (which was pretty late, I have to admit) I jumped out of bed, to take a long shower, and to put some clothes on. Not bothering about make-up, i was planning on visiting granny, i wore licht washed jeans, a grey shirt, and my black allstars. I took some breakfast and left a note for my mum. She was probably already at work, and daddy was in italy for the week.

I took the tube to the hospital, I put my ears in, and started listening to one of my favorite bands, graffiti6.

As i walked out of the metrostation, I saw Niall. He looked really sad, and wasn’t paying attention to what was happening around him. He crossed the road, as a car appeared. He froze while I ran towards him, and pulled him away. That seemed to wake him up again.

‘Shit, that was close’ I sighed.

He looked at me and a tear escaped from his eye.

‘Th-thanks’

I smiled, but realised he didn’t remember me. 

chapter fourrr.

Niall’s POV

I looked at the girl who just saved my life. She seemed familiar, and as I looked into her eyes, i knew it.

‘Hey, Sam right ? From the hospital, yesterday?’

She looked relieved, and nodded.

‘Yes, but it looks like you need the comfort today.’

I smiled.

‘Come on, let’s grab some coffee shall we?’

She pointed at a starbucks across the road. It was probably a good idea, and I was actually glad to see her again.

We crossed over, this time without almost dying. She told me to find a spot, as she went away to order. I wanted to protest, because that left her to pay, but she insisted and I was too tired to fight.

I choose a table in the corner with view at the street. Private, but also a part of the world outside.

Sam came back with a plate full of stuff.

‘Well, I got you a hot coco, of course, and loads of food. I always eat when I’m sad, so..’

I laughed.

‘Same here. Well, I just always eat. But when i’m sad i eat ten times as much.’

She nodded in agreement, pointing at the plate.

‘Will this be enough then?’

‘Haha, yep. That’ll do.’

She looked at me quizingly;

‘What happend then?’ She spoke with a soft voice.

I looked at her, and then outside.

‘Remember Jess?’ She nodded. ‘Well, she p-passed-d away.. this  morning’

Her face was shocked.

I locked eyes with her, and realised that my cheeks were wet. I’m crying infront of her? Well, it doesn’t even matter now, does it.

‘I’m sorry Niall. That is fucked up’

She had a blink sadness in her eyes.

I took a chocolate bar, and ate it all at once. Yep, that did feel a little better.

‘You wanna talk about her ? Or just, you know, do something to keep your mind off ?’ Sam asked.

I thought about that. I actually wanted to talk about it, doing something else would feel wrong.

So Sam listened the whole afternoon to me. I talked about Jess, about her being the cutest little girl in the world. About her being like my sister. About Luke, about everything. She listened and nodded, she was so sweet and understanding.

 

Sam’s POV

He talked and talked, it was actually quite fun. He told many stories about his childhood and stuff. I could see him clearing up by the minute. Family and friend were imporant to him, so losing Jess was hard.

By the time the food was all gone, Niall ran out of stories and it was pretty late. I stood up, planning to hop by my granny for a minute. Niall got a text from his mum, asking if he was okay.

He hugged me;

‘Sam, thanks so much for doing this.’

I smiled;

‘It’s okay silly, I hope you feel a bit better now. If you need another food-talk-hot coco-session, let me know.’

Suddenly I felt nervous, what if he hated the idea of meeting again? And wasn’t it the guys task to rearrage something like that? Would he see it as a date? I freaked out. Then I realised what I was doing, come on, he just lost his (sort of) sister, and I’m thinking about dating him? That’s just stupid.

His eyes lighted up for a minute.

‘Well, yeah, that would be nice.’

‘Good.’ I replied.

He started to walk back to the metrostation, as I headed towards the hospital.

He didn’t gave me his number or anything. There was no way we would meet again without. But I didn’t want to push it, he probably wanted to be polite when he said yes. I shuggred and continued walking.

 

Niall’s POV

We both headed in different directions, and I was glad we said that we would meet again. I walked back to the station, as I realised that I didn’t even had her phone number! I can’t believe I could be so stupid. I quickly turned around to see how far away she was.

‘Sam! Samantha!’ I screamed as I saw her in the crowd.

She turned around, scanning the crowd, and then she saw me.

I ran towards her,

‘Hey, we didn’t exchange numbers. How would you propose we meet again without being able to text each other?’

She chuckeled.

‘Maybe I could save your life again?’

I blushed, thinking about my stupid action this morning.

‘Yeaah, I’m not planning on doing that anytime soon.’

‘Well, give me your phone then, I’ll put my number in it’

chapter fiveeee.

Niall POV

I got out of the tube, and walked back to my appartment, while I tried to call my mum.

She picked up at the second ring;

‘Nialler baby, how are you? I heard the news! Would you like me to come over ?’

I smiled as I heard my mum rushing out those words. She was really worried about me. She is still in Ireland, like the rest of the family. I miss them a lot, but my live in England is pretty good as well.

‘Hey mum. I’m fine, thanks. I just got back at my appartment. Are you free this weekend then?’

‘Yes, I took a few days off, to be there for you, and I’m going to the funeral aswell so..’

‘Okay you could come around mum. I’ll make everything settled. When are you coming ?’

‘Tomorrow afternoon if that’s all right with you?’

‘Yep. See you then mums. Love you’

‘Love you too Niall. And if you need me, call me okay?’

‘Okay’

I walked into my livingroom, and took in the mess. All of a sudden I felt so tired. I needed a shower and some sleep.

 

Sam’s POV

I just got back from visiting granny, as my mum came home.

‘Hey darling, how are you?’

‘I’m fine, went to granny this afternoon. How about you?’

‘Fine thanks. How was she?’

‘A little better.’

‘Good. What would you like to eat?’

‘I’m not hungry mum, sorry’. I thought about all the food Niall and I ate today, and the thought of having dinner was sickening me.

I walked upstairs to take a shower and put my trainers on, with a oversized shirt. Ready for a movie night.

 

The next morning I woke up with the sunshine breaking trough the window. I jumped out of bed, and walked downstairs to make some breakfast. In the middle of baking pancakes I heared my phone beeping. Very unfortunate timing, but I still managed to get it without burning myself to the frying pan. A text message from Niall. I was curious and opened it quick.

- hey sam, how are you? I wanted to thank you again for yesterday. Maybe we could grab lunch together? X

I smiled and couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

I put my (almost burned) pancakes on a plate, and sat down at the kitchen table.

I ate some and then started my reply to Niall.

- hey niall! I’m good, but how about you?

Feeling a bit better ?Sounds like a good plan, where shall we meet?xx

I hit the send button, and ate the rest of the pancakes. And while I was doing the dishes I got a text back. Again, very unfortunate timing, noticing my soapy hands. Fine, the dishes first then.

- yeah i feel better. My mum is arriving late afternoon. Eerm, let’s say meet at convent garden? I know a nice little place there (: xx

I looked at the clock as I send back;

- aah good. Yep, see you at the station there. How about 1 oclock?x

That left me with 3 hours of doing nothing, or well actually, preparing for lunch.

- totally fine, see you there!xx

It was Saturday, but my mum was at some old friend of hers. So that left me home alone, which I didn’t mind at all. I played my music really loud, and danced around the house. Yep, I’m a little weird, I know.

 

Niall’s POV

It was almost 1 o’clock as I walked up to the station we agreed to meet. I was early, just to walk around a little and preparing myself. I was a bit nervous, which I never had imagined I’d be.

I thought about Sam, and wondered what she was going to look like and be like. I mean, we talked a few times of course, but still. I wanted to get to know her more. Yesterday I did most, well practically all of the talking, that was not going to happen today.

‘Hey Niall!’

I heard her voice from behind, and as I turned around I was amazed. She looked so sweet and pretty.

‘Hey Sam, how are things? You look pretty’

She blushed at looked down, she wore a jeans short, an white top, and a open hanging knitted sweater on top of it. Casual, but still.

We hugged, as she answerd;

‘Thanks Niall, you look pretty good too’ she winked as she looked up and down at me.

I wore my free hughs shirt, which was one of my favorites, with dark jeans.

I laughed, as she turned in for another hug.

‘Yep, free hughs, as much as you want’

She laughed.

‘So where it that place you were talking about?’

We walked up to a cafe where they made the best sandwiches in London.

As we sat down, I looked into her beautiful eyes.

‘So, tell me some more about yourself then. Since I talked way too much yesterday’

She laughed, and started talking about her family, friends and hobbies.

I enjoyed spending time with her, and while she was talking I could feel myself keep looking at her.

I was amazed at her beauty and her voice. She seemed so nice, and her eyes lit up when she spoke about the things she loved.

After we both finished our sandwiches, we walked around for a while. Covent garden was a really nice area, with some old shops and markets. We bought some stupid things and made jokes. Time flew by, and before i knew it i had to leave.

 

Sam POV

After a few hours Niall had to go and pick up his mum. I had an amazing afternoon, spending time with Niall made me feel like I could be myself. He accepted me with my stupid jokes, and craziness.

We hugged goodbye, the hug lasted longer than normal, which I didn’t mind.

‘I had an amazing time Niall. Thanks. ‘

He looked at me, and smiled;

‘I should thank you, I had so much fun. We better do this again, sometime soon.’

We locked eyes, and stared at each other for what felt like an eternaty. I couldn’t stop staring at his beautiful eyes, the sparkle in it was hypnotising.

Then we pulled away, and I hopped on the metro back home.

I put some music on, and closed my eyes. I could feel myself smile when I thought about the little moments of this afternoon.

I realised that I slowely, but surely, started to fall for Niall.

 

Niall POV.

I took the tube home, where I quickly grabbed my car keys, and drove towards the airport. I put some music on, and as I was singing along I could only think of Sam. I smiled when I thought about the time we spend together. I was glad that I met her, eventhough the circumstances weren’t that perfect.

She was a great friend, and I secretly started to hope that we would become more than just friends.

Chapter six.

Niall POV.

I parked my mini cooper, and practically run toward the hall where my mum would arrive. I couldn’t wait to see her, she knew how much Jess ment to me. Her plane was 10 minutes late, but I didn’t mind.

Jess’ funeral would be in 2 days, and Luke had asked me if I would like to make a speech. But instead of doing a speech, I decided that I would write a song for her, and play that at the funeral.

I had a chorus and a couplet, but I still needed another verse, and a bridge. Maybe my mum had some ideas, or usefull tips.

‘Nialler!’ A familiar voice brought me back.

‘MUMMY’ we hugged for a long time, as I felt my tears streaming down my face (once again).

It felt so good to be in her arms.

‘How was the flight? Are you okay?’

‘I’m fine darling. How about you? I missed you so much!’

I smiled. ‘Missed you too mum.’

 

Sams POV

When I arrived home, I saw Liam sitting at the frontsteps of the door.

‘Liaaaaaaaam!’ I screamed and ran into his arms.

‘Surprise’ he smiled.

Liam was my best friend, at the first day of school we had to sit together, which turned into a friendship. He was like my older brother, and I was his little sister. We both were the only child at home, but now we had each other.

He switched schools after 3 years, because he moved. But we kept in touch, and eventhough we didn’t see each other that much as before, our friendship grew even stronger.

‘How are you? Dude I missed you so much’ I looked up to him.

‘I’m great, how about you? Any gossip?’

I laughed. ‘Yep tons. How long are you staying?’

‘Just for 3 days, I’m here for a funeral, which is in 2 days.’

‘Wow. Tell me, what happend then?’

‘It’s a friends sort of sister, she was really young. I didn’t knew her that much, but I’m here for support and stuff.’

While he contiuned talking about the trip, I started wondering if he was talking about Jess.

‘Hey Liam, what is the name of the girl?’

‘She was called Jess. Why?’

I told him about Niall and how we met. My suspicions were right, Niall was a close friend of Liams.

Liam looked at me,

‘You like-like Niall don’t you?’

I blushed. ‘No, why would you say that?’

‘Babe, I know you. And I defenitly know that you’re lying right now. ‘

‘Okay, I might like him yeah. But don’t say anything to him okay? He has other things to worry about. But, enough about me, how’s you love life then mister?’

 

Liams POV.

Well, this could be interesting I thought to myself. Sam and Niall. They were cute together, why didn’t I think of setting them up before? It was ideal, my two best friends together.

‘Sam, Niall told me to bring some one with me if I wanted to, in case I felt alone. Would you like to be at the funeral? Since you know the story and stuff?’

She looked at me and frowned.

‘But I only know you and Niall. Wouldn’t that be weird?’

‘Nope. I think Niall wouldn’t mind, he would even really like it.’ I gave her the look.

She blushed, and gave in.

We ordered pizza and talked for the rest of the night. I really did miss her.

We made plans to go shopping the next day, and I chrashed into the guest room.

 

Nialls POV.

The next morning I woke up with the smell of bacon and toast. Oh I loved my mum. Yep, the way to a mans heart, is through his stomach.

I hopped out of bed, and made my way to the kitchen.

‘G’mornin’ sweety. Did you sleep well?’

‘Hey mum, yeah. How about you?’

‘Good, thanks’ as she put the bacon on a plate.

‘So what do you wanna do today?’ I asked with my mouth full of delicious breakfast.

She laughed. ‘Eerm, well I thought you could show me London, and we could go shopping or something?’

I nodded.

‘I’m just gonna shower real quick ‘kay?’

I sprinted to the bathroom, and in 20 minutes I was ready to leave.

I checked my Iphone, and saw a text from Liam.

- hey bud, I’m in town. X

That one was from yesterday. And another one; send this morning;

- can I bring Sam with me to the funeral? And yep, it’s the Sam you also know. The cute brown haired one ;) x

I stared at the text. Huh?! How did he know Sam?

- hey liam! Great, where are you then? Yep that’s fine. How do you know her?! X

It was actually a great idea that Sam could come as well. I mean she helped me with the whole situation. Plus, - looked forward to see her again, even if it was at a sad occasion like this. Within 2 minutes I got a reply;

- haha, she is one of my two best friends. Guess who the other one is :) I stayed at hers tonight. Don’t worry, I slept in the guest room. So you two know each other eh ?x

I imediatly knew what Liam was up to. The love matcher.

- I’m hoping that I’m the other one? :) yep, she’s great. But I don’t want any of your meddeling plans okay. X

My mum and I arrived at the London eye. I told her everything that happend the past few days, while we stood in line.

After a few minutes I got another text, from Sam this time. My heart jumped a bit, and my mum chuckeled.

‘You like this girl don’t you?’

I blushed. ‘Yeah, I think I do. But I don’t know how she feels. Plus it’s all so confusing with Jess and all.’

‘Maybe the timing wasn’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t possible. I think this situation made you even closer.’

I thought about that. My mum was right. Maybe. Well we’ll see.

I opened the text;

- nialler! So you know Liam too? Small world huh :) is it okay if I come tomorrow? I don’t want to be pushy, just be honest. Have fun with your mum today!xx

CHAPTER SEVEN.

 

Sams POV

After 5 minutes he replied;

- of course babe, only if you think you can handle more sadness from me ;) Liam is one of my best mates! It is a small world then haha. Have fun with him today!xx

Babe, he called me babe! I grinned like an idiot.

I didn’t text him back, to play a little hard to get.

I felt relieved, he wanted me to be there. But the feeling quickly changed into worry. How should I act ? What to say ? I only ever been to two funerals, one when I was four (can’t remember that one). And there was the funeral of my aunt 4 years ago. But how do you deal with this stuff ?

Liam snapped me out of my thoughts:

‘What did he text?’

‘He said that he wanted me to be there’

I let Liam read the text.

‘But I don’t know how to act at a funeral! How do you deal with that?!’

‘Just chill. You don’t have to say anything. Plus we’re going together okay ? And when you see Niall just behave normal, like when you were together. Don’t break in front of him. Just don’t. He needs you strong.’

I nodded and realised that Liam also held this little speech as a reminder for himself.

‘Sooooo, what are you going to wear?’ Liam looked at my pile of clothes on the floor in my room.

‘Eerm something black, obviously. Any ideas?’

He threw a black dress on my bed. Simple, with 3/4 sleeves, figure hugging but from the waist till just above the kees, where it went a bit wider.

‘This will do, plus you’ll look good for our Nialler’ he winked at me.

‘Yeaah yeaah i know what you’re up to. Just don’t.’

He smiled, but not convincing enough for me.

‘So, what are we doing to day ?’ Trying to change the subject, succesfully.

We decided to walk around in London, do the typical tourist stuff. Liam and I were always acting a bit crazy.

The day flew by, and we ended up in some tea room.

Liam got a phone call from his girlfriend Danielle. I decided to text Niall in the meantime.

 

Niall’s POV

-ha, how are you? Ready for tomorrow ? X

I smiled, Sam was so sweet, she really cared. I texted back.

- hey, i’m good, how about you? Yeah, kind of. You?xx

My mum and me had been wandering in London all day, and we were at my appartment now. I still needed to finish the song, and my mum gave me some tips.

‘Darling, I think it’s better to chance the last sentence. It is a bit too depressing now.’

She said looking at the lyrics I wrote.

‘Yeaaah I know.’ I replied, while a text came in;

- yep, i’m good. a little nervous for tomorrow. But it’s not about me now so.. How’s your mum? Did you have fun today?xxx

I smiled and told my mum that Sam asked for her. She smiled and answered that Sam sounded like a sweet girl. She winked at me, ‘can’t wait to see this girl tomorrow. One nice thing about tomorrow though.’

- my mum’s okay, and we had fun today (: i’m nervous too. Well nervous and scared at the same time.. After tomorrow it’s real you know. It all feels like a nightmare now.xxxx

I sighed, and thought about the past few days. It did feel like a cruel dream, it didn’t feel real at all. But I would get the shock tomorrow at the funeral, I knew that.

I looked back at the lyrics, and I suddenly knew the right words. Within 10 minutes I finished the song, and I played it for my mum.

‘Wow darling. That’s just.. I don’t know. It’s heartbreaking and hopefull and amazing’ she spoke with tears in her eyes.

I looked at her, tears streaming down my face once again. We sat down for a while, opening up to each other.

I went to bed early, although I didn’t want tomorrow to arrive so soon, I was really tired, so I went anyways.

The second I laid down, I felt a tiredness overwhelm my body. That night I dreamt about Jess, and all the nice moments we had together. I woke up with a smile on my face, I was ready for today. Cause eventhough Jess died, no one could ever take those memories away.

 

Sam POV

Liam woke me up with his soft voice;

‘Saaaam, it’s time to wake up in the morning. I got breakfast for you. You better get up and eat it, cause otherwise we’ll be late’

It took a minute to realise where I was, and what was happening, but then I knew it. The funeral.

Following Liam to the kitchen, where we sat down and ate cereal in silence.

We got dressed, Liam in dark jeans, a black blouse and black fancy shoes, and I was wearing the outfit Liam picked, and went to Liams car.

It was a half an hour drive to the cementry. Liam was really nervous, I could tell, he shuffeled around in his seat and trembled his fingers on the wheel. I was feeling very calm, which was wierd, but really handy. I talked to Liam the whole ride, and by the time we arrived he was a bit calmer than before.

We stepped into the hall, where the ceremony would be.

 

Niallers POV

I took a deep breath, as my mum and I walked into the building. We were early, so that I could tune my guitar and stuff. We had places at the first row, I was seated next to Luke (of course), but he wasn’t in the main hall yet. But I knew him well, and searched for a balcony somewhere, cause Luke would probably hide there. At the second floor there was actually a balcony, and Luke was sitting with his back to the wall, and staring at the woods. I lowered myself next to him.

‘Hey L, how are you?’

He looked at me with red and puffed eyes.

‘Yeah fine or something.’

‘Nope, you’re not fine luke, be honest’

‘Shit. I know. I’m just I don’t know. I’m confused, I feel like crap. I wanna scream, but I have no sound. I don’t believe this is happening’

Tears were now streaming down his face.

‘I know what you mean. It feels like a fucking nightmare. You know, I think she’s watching us right now. Like an angel, I think she will protect us. You know what I mean?’

He nodded.

‘Yeah, I think so. Like a sweet cargian angel.’

We sat in silence for a couple of minutes, maybe an hour, I don’t know.

Then my phone started buzzing. A text from my mum.

-ny, you gotta come down. Only half an hour left.x

I looked to Luke, and showed him the text.

‘Okay then. But Niall..’

‘Yeah ?’

‘Stay with me please. ?’

‘Of course’ I hugged him tightly. ‘Of course.’

Chapter eight — sorry it’s not that long!

Sam POV.

I spotted Niall, sitting front row, next to a guy, which was probably Luke. He had his head down, and his arm around the guy. They were talking to each other, and Niall was obviously trying to calm him a bit.

Liam pointed at two seats in the back;

‘Let sit over there okay?’

I nodded.

The hall was soon packed with people, I was glad that Liam and I already had taken seats. I looked around, and saw a lot of children, parents and probably some teachers from Jess’ school.

The ceremony started, and it was breathtakenly beautiful. A few people speeched about Jess, and there was a personal video with Jess dancing around and being a kid. I cried my eyes out, and I saw that Liam had tears in his eyes aswell.

Then it was Nialls turn to make a speech. I looked at him, as he stood behind the microphone. He scanned the crowd, and as he noticed Liam and me, we locked eyes, he took a deep breath and started.

‘Jess was like a sister to me. She was the most wonderful, sweet and cool person to be around with. Words won’t describe how I feel, so I wrote a song’

He looked at me again, and I gave him a light smile.

Surprised I poked Liam;

‘He can sing? And play the guitar?’

Liam nodded;

‘Yeah he is pretty good actually.’

As soon as Niall played the first notes, everyone went silent. Everything seemed to fade away.

It was beautiful. The song was perfectly written. His voice was raw and pure.

It didn’t take long for the tears to reappear.

 

Nialls POV

I finished the song, and took a deep breath as I walked to Jess.

‘Hope you liked it’ I whispered ‘I will never ever forget you. You are amazing’

I quickly turned around to head back to my seat, tears stung in my eyes. The song was perfect, playing it felt so right at that moment. I knew that Jess would have loved it. I turned to Luke, who hugged me with tears in his eyes. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes spoke a thousand words.

I turned around, hoping to see Sams face again. As I did, I looked into her tearful, amazed eyes. She smiled, and again her eyes did all the talking. I smiled back, she looked beautiful, and I was glad she was there.

The ceremony lasted for another 15 minutes, and after that it was done. I felt wierd, knowing I’ll never be able to see Jess again, but also relieved and a bit satisfied, it was good, she would have loved it.

There was a lunch for everyone in the hall, and a lot of people came up to me to offer their condolences. I talked with a few people for a bit, and then I decided to search for Liam and Sam. I wanted to see them, and I really really wanted to speak to Sam.

 

Sam’s POV

Liam and I were standing in the corner of the bright hall, eating and quietly talking. We planned to go to Niall when most of the people left, so we just sat back and waited for now. I looked around the room, and watched everyone talking and sharing stories, when I spotted Niall. He looked tired but satisfied, and his hair was ruffled which was quite sexy. But I quickly ignored those thoughts, not apropriete at a funeral.

Niall spotted me and Liam, and walked straight up to us. I saw Liam getting up, and embracing Niall in a brotherly hug. I watched the both of them from a distancen, wanting them to have their privacy.

After a while they let go, and Niall looked at me. I felt my heart going crazy as I walked up to him, also giving him a hug. His eyes brightened a bit, as he hugged me back.

‘I’m so sorry Niall. It was a beautiful ceremony. She was a nice girl.’

‘I’m glad you’re here Sam. Thanks for everything’ he wishpered back, sending shivers down my spine.

We pulled back, and I looked at the ground, all of a sudden fully aware of the affect he had on me.

‘I loved the song, you are really talented’

Slowly raising my eyes back to meet his.

He smiled, and I felt relieved.

‘Thanks again. So how are you? How is your ganny?’

‘Good, and gran is getting better. I’ll be visiting her tonight.’

‘What are you doing tonight Nialler?’ Liam asked

‘Don’t know yet.’ He looked around in search for someone. ‘Sam, I want you to meet my mum, if you don’t mind?’

I felt nerves taking over, but nodded anyways. ‘Yeah sure, I wanna meet her too, she seems lovely!’


Chapter nine

Niall Pov

‘Mum, this is Sam’ i nervously said.

My mum pulled her into a hug; ‘hey Sam, nice to meet you!’

Sam hugged mum back; ‘you too, I’m sorry for the loss.’

My mum smiled at her after throwing a quick wink to me. I let out a sigh, that went well. While they were rambling on about the ceremony and london, I took my time to chatch up with Liam.

‘Hey L, come to my place tonight. We can watch a movie or something?’

‘Sounds like a plan. How long will you be at this place?’

‘About two more hours or so. I don’t know. I’ll text you when I get home yeah?’

‘Deal. So how are you feeling then?’

‘I’m okay, it was good. I feel like I can put this behind be, not forget about it, but smile back at the good times we shared. She always enjoyed life, so I’m planning to do so aswell. She would have wanted that. Plus I know now how fast it all can be over, ya know?’

‘Live for the moment, cause everything else is uncertain’ liam nodded.

‘Yeah man’ I laughed and turned back to Sam and mum, who seem to have the time of their lives.

Watching the both of them getting along really easy, I felt a little bit of happiness. I immediatly felt bad though, happiness on a day like this? But then I thought at what liam said. Maybe I shouldn’t feel guilty about my happiness, although I did feel guilty now, the fact that I apperantly could feel happy again was a good thing. Eventually I would be completly happy again, but for now this small bit was enough.

 

Sam’s POV

I looked to Niall, who was a bit zoned out for a moment, but he had a glimpse of pure happiness in his eyes. Only one second, but it was there.

It was beautiful, the twinkle in his bright blue eyes brought life to them. Like a river full of life.

Snapping out of my day dreams, I turned back to Niall’s mum and gave her a hug.

‘I better get going. It was nice to meet you’

She happily hugged me back.

‘Nice to meet you too sweety’

Liam said his goodbyes as well, as I turned to Niall.

‘Hey nially, I have to go.’

He gave me a half smile

‘That’s okay sammy. I’m so glad you came.’

I hugged him, and we held each other for what seemed like forever. He wispered in my ear.

‘What about dinner tomorrow? I wanna see you again.’

I pulled back and studied his face, eyes full of hope, pleading, his cheeks a bit flushed, nervously nibbling on his lower lip. It was adorable, nervous yet exactly knowing what he wanted.

‘Sounds perfect.’

As soon as those words left my mouth his eyes lit up, his cheeks flushed even more and he had a huge smile on his face.

I kissed his cheek and walked away with Liam.

 

Liams POV

Sam and I drove back to her place, while talking about the funeral. It was a beautiful day, and I was looking forward to see Niall this afternoon, for some buddie-buddie time. Only 2 more days and I would be back home, so I was going to make the most of it. I love London and planned to go to school here. I wasn’t accepted yet, but the letter would arrive any time. I couldn’t wait to see the looks on Sam’s and Niall’s faces if I got in.

‘Yo L, are you even listening?’

I snapped back to reality as Sam punched my arm.

‘Yeaaah sorry I wasn’t. What were you saying?’

‘I was demanding you to stay out of the thing Niall and I have. I don’t want any awkward situations okay?’

I smiled and thought about it. Well I was never going to admit it to her, but I was sure about meddling this time. Knowing both her and Niall, it would take a while to actually confess their feelings.

‘Mm maybe.’

She hit me again.

‘No you won’t!’

’S, do you really think hitting me makes this better?’

She pouted and turned away to look out the window.

 

Sam’s POV

With mixed feelings i turned to the window. Today was a rollercoaster with emotions, sadness, butterflies, happiness, relief, sadness again, worry. A part of me wanted Liam to talk to Niall, and another part of me wanted him to back off. But I had the pleasure of being Liam’s best friend, and knowing him, he was soooo going to mingle. I shuggred, well I couldn’t change his mind, that was for sure. My mind drived back to my granny. Last night my mum visited her and she was slowly getting better. I was excited and scared to see her again. Scared cause she was still weak and recovering, but excited cause I missed her so much. I just hoped she was having a good day. Because of her Parkinson she got really moody or didn’t even say anything. Sometimes she would only whine about irrelivant stuff, but she was still my granny, no matter how much she changed.

Chapter ten

Niall’s POV

‘Sooo, she seems like a nice girl Ny’ my mum poked my in my sides jokingly, as soon as Sam and Liam left. I felt my cheeks become red again, as I hit her arm.

‘Yeah. Well she is. I’m taking her for dinner tomorrow’

As soon as those words left my mouth, I realised how excited I felt about it. I actually asked Sam on a date, where did the courage to do that come from? The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. I was probably more nervous now than I was for asking it.

‘Yay. That’s my boy!’ At this point my mum was doing some wierd victory dance. I smiled and joined her for a second. I really was excited. It was a good thing Liam was hopping by tonight, cause I could use some of his romantic ideas right now.

 

Liam’s POV

As soon as Niall texted me that he was home, I took the underground to his appartment. His mum was off to see a friend, which meant that we had the place to ourselves. After I left the station, I quickly bought some snacks and drinks for the night. Niall probably had enough to eat, but knowing him he’d be pleased with the extra supplies.

‘Hi bud!’ Niall opened the door and hugged me thightly.

‘Yo, how are ya?’ I hugged him back, and entered the place.

‘Good good. I have so much energy man, it’s crazy. Wait you brought food?! Yesss this is going to be a good night!’

I laughed at his big eyes and eager hands, shoving the bag towards him while taking off my coat and shoes.

‘Tell me all about tomorrow then, I heard you and Sam are having a date?’

I didn’t know it was possible, but Niall became even more excited, practically jumping up and down now, spilling M&Ms all over the floor in the process.

‘Yeaaaah buddie! Oh I’m so nervous lee. Please help me out yeah?’

I nodded and grabbed a can of coke and crisps, as I made myself at home.

Niall sat down on the couch, next to me, and switched on MTV. While a marathon of Spongebob was on we talked about tomorrow.

‘Do you have any plans or ideas figured out yet?’ I asked him.

‘Well, obviously I want it to be special you know. A bit romantic, but not too much, cause I don’t know if she actually sees this as something serious. Like a date-date or just as a fun date’

‘Oh believe me, she does’ I muttered quietly, still making sure he could hear.

‘What, she does?’

‘She is super excited about it. So yeah’

I avoided telling him straight to the point that she was kind of into him and did see this as a date, cause that would be unfair. But hinting couldn’t do any harm.

The rest of the night we talked about the date, the pas day and chatching up what had happened the last year. It was nice to hang out with each other again. 

Chapter eleven

Sam’s POV

Today was the day. D-day. Date day. I woke up pretty early, according to my terms, and jumped in the shower. Shaving my legs and so, singing / rapping along with Drake and Rihanna. Throwing on a oversized shirt and joggers, I walked back to my room. I had plenty of time to kill so I decided to watch a movie, Liam was still at Niall’s. I decided to watch one of my old time favorites, to calm me down; the last song. I don’t know why, but that movie always makes me cry like a baby. And I absolutly loved the place where they filmed it, the beach had always been one of my favorite places.

With a croissant, toast and tea as breakfast I hopped back into bed.

 

Niall’s POV

I got up at 9 pm and Liam and I made breakfast for my mum. It didn’t go as smooth as we thought, but 2 burned toasts and some spilled eggs later we had breakfast ready. Easily chatting with each other I felt my nerves calm down a bit. Yeah, I was pretty nervous, don’t jugde. It had been a while since I had a date, let alone a relationship. My mum did the dishes, while Liam and I worked on a song together. Writing songs with Lee was fun, he had always good ideas. We were getting way to caught up in writing, and before I knew it the clock striked 2. Liam and I looked up from our sheets and burst out laughing at our shocked faces.

‘I better head back to your soon-to-be girl’ Liam said with a huge grin.

‘Yeahyeaah you better watch it bud, hands off aye!’ I beamed back. As soon as Liam left I cleaned my appartment, while my mum helped me. We were talking and singing and dancing like fools, but it felt nice. I quickly took a shower, and threw on the outfit Liam picked out for me.

A pair of beige chinos, red vans, my black polo, and I had a hoodie with me.

At 5.30 I was ready, although I promised to pick Sam up at 6ish. So I tried to finish the third song Liam and I had started on this afternoon. It didn’t go very well, seen the fact that I checked my watch every minute. Nerves were definitly back now.

 

Sam POV

I was ready 15 minutes before Niall picked me up, nervously biting my nails, not caring about the nail polish I carefully painted on them, only just an hour ago. I was wearing beige brownish skinny jeans, my black all stars, a flowerprint top, with a black cardigan. I braided my hair and kept my make up to a minimum. I charged my phone, and brushed my theeth once again to kill the time. Luckily Niall arrived quickly after, otherwise I would have gone crazy.

I opened the door, and gasped a bit for air. He looked stunning. Luckily he was kind of casually dressed as well, otherwise I would have felt bad, but he was so gorgeous. His hair was a bit ruffled and practically begged to be touched, I kept myself from letting my fingers go through the blonde goodness right there and then. His smile was dazzeling, his body was perfectly toned, and his eyes had their sparkle in them, but were at the same time mysterious and daring. ‘Hey’ he smiled, snapping me out of my trance.

‘Well hello there’ I smiled back, grabbing my bag and locking the door behind me.

‘You look amazing, really beautiful’ he whispered in my ear as I pulled him in for a hug. I felt my cheeks flutter and I stuttered back;

‘Thanks, so do you. And I mean it.’

Grabbing my hand, he pulled us towards the left, forcing me to follow him. Our fingers locked and it felt so good. To distract myself from zoning out again, I asked where we were going, and why he was carrying a backback with him. But of course Niall didn’t answer, and started talking about his day, trying to change the subject.

 

Niall’s POV

We were holding hands, and it was the best moment yet. She had asked where we were going, but I wasn’t going to tell her, I wanted it to be a surprise.

Only 5 minutes later we arrived at a parc, where a stage was already built up. There were plenty of people sitting in the grass, chatting to each other, playing games and eating. I searched for a spot, and pulled a blanket out of my backpack. She looked surprised, but her eyes were sparkling and showing me that she liked it. As we sat down, I got the food, pancakes, strawberries and chocolate, and pulled out two cans of coke. It was delicious, the pancakes were cold, but I didn’t mind. We talked and I still refused to tell her what was going to happen. We finished just in time, as some guy came on stage, telling there was 5 minutes left to show time. I stuffed the blanket back in the bag and grabbed her hand, pulling her closer to the stage.

‘Still not going to tell me, are you? What if I’m going to be killed by some weird singer who thinks it is funny to jump in the crowd or something?’ She looked at me.

I just laughed; ‘it’s not going to be some sort of metal band or something. Just relax, you are going to love it’

And I was so right, the minute she realized who was preforming she jumped at me for the biggest hug ever.

‘I absolutely love Coldplay! How did you know?’

‘Liam’ we said at the same time, before cracking up. I turned back to the stage, and started to sing along with chris. An hour later we were totally into it, both dancing and singing, probably looking like complete fools, but I had the time of my life.

 

Sam’s POV

Coldplay?! Freaking Coldplay?! This is the best date ever. I thought the whole holding hands thing was amazing, but now we were both going crazy, and it was the most fun I had in a while. And the picnick setting was so cute as well, he really thought about this.

Niall wrapped his arms around me, as we were slowly humming along to fix you.

At the end of the second chorus I turned around and looked him in his eyes as I sang;

‘I will try, to fix you’

He blinked a few tears away, and pressed our foreheads against each other.

‘I will too.’

‘I know, but you need it more than I do right now’


Chapter twelve - but the date isn’t finished yetttt

 

Niall’s pov

We stared into each others eyes for the rest of the song, and I saw in her eyes that she meant it, that I could trust her. They played two more songs, and then the concert was finished. She sighed happily, and once again told me that it was amazing. But I had yet another thing planned for tonight. So we walked away, hand in hand, chatting about the concert, singing the songs which we liked best. 10 minutes later we arrived infront of a lagre building, and I took her in some small dark alley.

‘So you are going to rape me then?’ She asked dead serious.

‘Yep. You are a smart kid, aren’t you?’

She giggled and followed me as I walked up the stairs.

‘I hope you’re not scared of hights?’

‘Eeerm, that depends. But I guess I’ll be allright’

‘Good. Cause this is it’ I helped her up, so that we both stood on the roof, looking out over London, with the Thames a few meters ahead, cars passing by, people walking below and stars above us.

‘Wow’ she muttered under her breath.

‘It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? I like to come here and relax, have some time for myself.’

‘It’s perfect’ she walked a little closer to the edge, and stared in the distance.

I pulled out the blanket, a bag of crisps, and a bottle of wine. We sat next to each other, sharing the blanket, drinking, eating and haveing casual conversation. It cooled down pretty quick, and I felt her shiver.

‘Come on, sit between my legs, so I can keep you warm’

As soon as she settled down, and sunk her head into my chest, I wrapped my arms around her waist, after putting the blanket around the both of us.

‘Much better’ she said contently.

There was a moment of silence, as we both looked out over the city, savouring every bit. Our chests rose and fell insync and our fingers locked together.

‘What are you thinking about?’ She wanted to know.

I blushed, cause I was actually thinking about kissing her later that night, but telling her that would ruin this moment.

‘About this night, I’m really enjoying this’ I answered instead. ‘What about you?’

 

Sam’s POV

I knew he’d ask the same thing, stupid me. ‘Well, about this night aswell, it’s perfect Ny. Thanks’

I wasn’t lying though, but I had to admit I was thinking about later that night, I was hoping he’d kiss me.

 

Niall’s POV

‘Of course Sammy’ anything for you, I added in my mind.

We talked for an hour, sharing really personal things, some painful stuff, but I knew I could trust her, I don’t know how I knew it, but she trusted me aswell. She told me that she didn’t really like to open up to people, and that she had many walls built up in the last years. But that she somehow trusted me, mainly because when we met she already showed her emotional side, but I still cared. We talked and talked, and I told her about my insecureness.

After I told her that I struggled with my looks and that I sometimes didn’t feel good enough, she turned around slowly, and I felt my heart beating ten times faster right now.

‘Niall, I think you are gorgeous. You are so attractive, and beautiful’

A warm feeling spreaded through my body, and she started to blush.

‘And you are good enough. Look at what you’ve done, this was the best date ever, thanks to you. Please don’t think this wasn’t good enough, or you weren’t good enough, cause this is perfect. You are..’ She turned away, cheeks really red now ‘perfect’ she mumbled.

I turned her head back with my hand, and pushed her hair out of her face.

‘Thanks. So are you’ I breathed, as we got closer and closer.

I saw her lips curve upwards, and her eyes lowered to watch my lips, I noticed she bit her lower lip, while I closed the gap even more. I slipped my other hand around her waist as she straddled my lap, and her hands found their way to my neck and lower back. As soon as my lips brushed against hers, I couldn’t think straight anymore. All I could feel were the butterflies in my stomach going crazy, her hands on my body, her lips on mine. I pressed my lips onto hers with slightly more pressure now, begging for more. She kissed me back, and parted her lips a bit, allowing me to enter her mouth.

Her fingers toyed with my hair, and my hand pulled her even closer to me, never wanting this to end. 

Chapter thirteen

Sam POV

Wow. That kiss was breathtaking. That was the perfect first kiss, letting you long for another one, yet a kiss so passionate that it could be the last time. A kiss that had started out with curiousity and unsureness, which turned into love and passion. The kiss that lingers on your lips, that makes your head go fuzzy, that gives hope for the future.

I smiled as we walked back home, his fingers in between mine. Occasionally we would stop, and stare at each other, kiss or just smile like idiots, before continuing our walk. I felt so comfertable around him, and the situation in which me met made us bond quick and strong.

We arrived at my front door and I pulled out the keys.

‘Thanks for this amazing night. It was perfect’

He grinned ‘thank you, for helping me making it perfect’

I laughed ‘cheesy’

He winked ‘and you love it’

‘Yeaaa’ I blushed, knowing that he was so right. I love his cheesy lines and stupid jokes.

‘A good night kiss then?’ He said, pulling me close to him.

I leaned forward to feel his soft lips on mine again as an anwser.

 

Niall’s POV

As soon as Sam was inside I couldn’t help but skip my way back home. I was so happy, my plans went perfect and on top of that, we actually kissed. I started singing quietly to myself, content with this moment in time.

Although it was pretty late already, almost 2 am, the lights were still on indicating that my mum stayed up.

‘Hey mum’ I walked to the livingroom, and saw her sitting on the couch reading some book.

‘Hey hun’ she looked at me, laying the book on the table, and hugged me.

‘How did it go? Everything went as planned?’

‘Yea, even better.’

‘Sooo you kissed her then?’ She nudged me in my sides as I turned bright red.

She chuckled and pulled out a beer for me, and poured herself a glass of wine.

We talked a bit, and then decided to call it a night.

I woke up at 7, groaning cause I was still tired, and definitly not prepared to get out of bed already. I checked my phone, and dragged myself to the bathroom for a wee, and texted Sam;

-goodmorning beautiful :)

Then I jumped back into my warm and cosy bed, not intending to leave my spot for at least another 4 hours.

 

Sam POV

I sneaked downstairs, trying not to wake my parents. I knew from the sound of the TV that Liam was already awake. He was laying on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket.

‘Hey lee’

‘Saaaam, how was it? Tell me everything! I fell asleep last night, sorry!’

Well that explained the blanket and his sleepy head, and the fact that he was wearing yesterdays clothes.

I chuckled and ruffled his hair,

‘Don’t be, thanks for trying though. Want some tea?’ I looked innocently back at him, knowing that he was dying to know everything about the date.

‘No, don’t avoid the topic missy. Come here and start talking’ he patted on a spot next to him, and I curled up on the sofa, and did what I was asked.

I will update the rest soon, please tell me what you think :)
