The Way {Niall Horan}

Chapter 9.

I wasn't breathing that right. My breath was staggered by my cries and I just couldn't function properly. Niall had noticed and he was trying to calm me down, and he had kissed my forehead many times which made my breathing stop a little more. It was cold outside and his fleece sweater had been wrapped around me, and he had lightly been singing They Don't Know About Us to me and calmed me down. We were a few yards from his tour bus when a boy busted through the door and had a smile on his face. Liam.

" Niall, Niall, guess wha-OH MY GOD. Is that Taylor? Why is she bleeding? She looks like she can't breath. Oh my God. " He freaked out. I felt my lungs against my skin as I tried to catch my breath, and Niall leaned down to me.

" Calm down, babe. Breath, breath. Babe, come on. Breath. " He said. He looked up to Liam and whispered some stuff to him which I didn't understand, and I hugged Niall again for warmness.

" Ni-Niall, " I stuttered. " I can't- I can't breathe. Please. " He pulled his jacket over me and "sh"ed me, and put his big hand in mine. It was warm and it was comforting, and he smiled down at me. I dug my head in the side of his arm and I heard more whispering, and then Liam's gasped and he asked questions and Niall whispered more stuff. I put my arms around Niall's neck and started panting a bit, and I felt some wheezes. Liam looked at me and nodded at Niall, and he took me, now Liam holding me in his arms, and us three went inside. Niall stomped to one of the rooms and the boys were in the kitchen playing games, and then they looked at me and Liam.

" Whoa, Liam.. And Taylor? " Zayn asked. Liam motioned him closer and then whispered stuff to Zayn, and Zayn's mouth and eyes widened at his remark.

" In an alley with a man? " Zayn said with a question. Liam nodded at him and looked down at me, and then smiled at me. I felt my lungs getting harder to breathe and Liam put me on the couch, my legs dangling on his lap. I put my hands on my Chest and felt myself calming down, and Liam held my hand as I shut my eyes slightly and calmed down. Then I heard footsteps so I opened my eyes and saw Niall getting his shoes on angrily. He was whispering dark things and dirty things that he wanted to do to that guy, like fighting and stuff, and he growled.

" Niall. " I whispered with a slight wheeze. He jumped and then turned around and looked at me. His dark eyes lightened and he slightly smiled at me, and I reached my hand out for his. Liam got up, putting my legs on the couch and smiled at me, and then said he was going to get me something to drink. He grabbed my hand and smiled at me, and I made him come closer.

" Don't go. Stay. " I whispered. He looked at me with his ocean orbs and nodded at me and smiled, and then he made his way to the couch. He sat down and then I climbed on his lap and his hands went into mine, and he positioned me on his lap. I laid on his chest and took deep breaths and his hands made circles on my palms.

" Thank you. For saving me. I thought I was going to die. " I whispered. He smiled down at me and kissed my forehead, his lips on my head for 10 whole seconds, and I put my arms around his chest and breathed. After he kissed my forehead, Liam came in with a Pepsi and I thanked him and took a big drink, and then Niall put it on the stand beside the couch.

" Niall, why did you save me? I thought you were a douche. " I said. He started laughing the cute Irish accent laugh he had and I smiled at him, and he grabbed my hand and brought it past his face. He had an unshaved face and I felt the little makeup he had on. Foundation mostly. I felt his face with my fingers and smiled at him, and he leaned down, coming closer to my face . " I guess I'm not good with girls at first. Forgive me? " He asked. He put out his pinky and I giggled, feeling my lungs vibrate because of my wheezing.

" Maybe. " I said. He grabbed my pinky anyway and put it in his. I smiled but both of ours faded when he leaned in and I did too. I bit my lip and he leaned in some more.

" You're gorgeous. " he said. I blushed and bit my lip and shook my head, but he leaned in more and I felt our lips almost together, until Liam came in and said, " Taylor, you might want to call your mom and tell her what happened. "
