Niall knows...again
Husky’s POV
I sat on my bed and twiddled my thumbs. Niall always had a feeling when something was wrong. And he was always right, too. I heard a light knock on the door.
‘Come in,’ I said quietly, parting my hands. Niall stepped inside. The first thing I noticed was that he wasn’t smiling. I stiffened, suddenly feeling afraid.
‘What’s wrong, Niall?’ I asked backing up onto my bed. Niall had anger in his eyes. It was the impossible coming true. It just proved that my nightmare could come true. Niall advanced towards me.
‘What is wrong with you?!’ he yelled, inches from my face. I felt my eyes start to water. I shuffled back, but he came closer.
‘Please stop,’ I croaked, my voice barely a whisper. Niall’s eyes widened and he looked at me in horror.
‘Oh my god. I’m so sorry, Husky!’ he said, taking several steps back, shaking. I shook my head, telling him he was forgiven.
‘Why were you angry?’ I asked, clasping my hands together. Niall sat down next to me and ran a hand through his hair.
‘I know what you did earlier.’ I looked down. Niall slowly rolled up my sweatpants until the cuts were uncovered. He flinched at the sight of them. I watched his face. I could see a wave of hurt and confusion pass over his face. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
‘I'm sorry. I wish I hadn’t done it,’ I whispered, leaning my head on Niall’s shoulder. He pressed his lips to my forehead, and we cried together. Eventually Niall fell asleep on my bed. I changed into my pyjamas and lay down beside him.
Louis’ POV
I herded the boys into the room where Husky and Niall were sleeping. Husky’s chest was slowly rising and falling. I smiled. The boys started to giggle. I joined them.
‘Wake Niall up,’ Liam said, nudging me in the side.
‘Okay.’ I grabbed Niall’s shoulders and shook them as hard as I could. Niall shot up into a sitting position, knocking Husky off the bed. There was a loud bang. All of us started laughing. Niall gave us a confused look.
‘What? What? What? What?!’
‘You knocked Husky off of the bed,’ Zayn wheezed through his laughing. After our laughing fest, we decided to wake up Husky. We were amazed that she managed to stay asleep through everything. I shook her shoulders.
‘Husky, babe, wake up,’ I said softly, rocking her shoulder. I noticed a bruise on her head, which she must have hit on her way down. She had stopped breathing. At first, I thought she was messing with me. But she was extremely pale. I shook her harder. She flopped limply back to the ground.
‘Oh my god! Husky! Wake up!’ I started to get really scared. My hands started to shake.
‘What’s wrong, Louis?’
‘She’s not breathing! And she hit her head when she fell off the bed!’ The guys gasped in horror and gathered around me. I shook Husky as hard as I could, partly to stop my hands shaking so badly and partly because I was scared for her. She still wasn’t breathing. She wasn’t waking up.
Husky’s POV
I heard giggling, but I didn’t open my eyes. Niall was still beside me, his soft breathing steady in my ear.
‘Wake Niall up.’ Liam.
‘Okay.’ Louis. I felt Niall being rocked beside me. He jolted into a sitting position and knocked me off the bed. On my way down, I hit my head on the bedside table. I only hit it lightly, but it made a massive bang. The boys started to laugh.
‘What? What? What? What?!’ I smiled to myself. Niall sounded pretty confused.
‘You knocked Husky off the bed,’ Zayn gasped between laughs. I suddenly felt hurt. I could have been seriously hurt, and they were laughing. I remembered that they didn’t know I was awake. I decided to scare them. Niall started laughing as well. I shut my eyes lightly and held my breath. Whenever I was bored, I used to practice holding my breath for long periods of time. I could hold my breath for a full two minutes.
‘Is Husky still asleep?’
‘Yeah.’ More laughter.
‘We had better wake her up. She can’t be late for school.’ I felt Louis shaking me.
‘Husky, babe, wake up.’ I didn’t move. I could feel a bump on my fore head and it was starting to bruise. I could also feel myself going pale.
‘Oh my god! Husky! Wake up!’
‘What’s wrong, Louis?’
‘She’s not breathing! And she hit her head when she fell off the bed!’ I heard a few gasps of horror. I felt everyone gather around me. Louis placed his hands on my shoulders and shook them as hard as he could. I didn’t move, knowing I had heaps of time before I needed to breathe. I decided to not torture them any longer. I slowly started to breathe again. I heard a collection of relieved sighs gather around.
‘Thank god. She’s breathing.’ I pushed myself into a sitting position. I forced a loud yawn and stood up. Everyone was looking relieved, and Louis’ eyes looked watery. I felt kind of bad, but it was sufficient revenge. I stretched my arms out. Niall glanced sadly at my thigh. I frowned at him and he looked away. Liam gave him a curious look, and then herded the guys out of the room. I closed the door behind them. I swore under my breath. I had school today. And I had a bump on my head. Finn and Ashton wouldn’t care, but the other kids might. They made a large show about the fact that they hated me yesterday, and it was my FIRST day. I ran my fingers through my hair, sighing deeply.
After a couple of decisions, I decided to wear this. I frowned at the mirror and picked up my bag, which sat in the corner of the room. I stood up straight and flattened my shirt. I left the bruise on my forehead as it was and walked downstairs
Niall smiled at me through his mouth full of cereal. He looked at the bruise on my forehead and frowned. I could tell that he felt bad. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
‘Mornin’ Niall!’ He smiled at me and gave me a sloppy kiss on the cheek. I ran out the front door and sat in the passenger seat beside Louis. He smiled and also frowned when he saw the bump on my forehead. I looked away so that it was no longer in his view. He started the car and drove to school.
Louis’ POV
Husky jumped out of the car and headed towards what looked like a large willow tree. Two boys appeared from underneath it. I recognised one of them as Ashton. The other was shorter than Ashton, but only by an inch or two. He was still taller than Husky, though. I saw him point at Husky’s forehead and frown. I could see that Husky was explaining. Both boys nodded and the three walked towards the school building. I suddenly heard a scream. Shit. There were about fifteen girls running towards my car. I quickly started the car and drove out of the lot.
