Christmas With Niall Horan

My god he finally opened his eyes! He was gazing up at me and I could see he was a bit disoriented. "How are you feeling?" I was stroking his hair. He was just watching me but I could see he was trying to say something. I saw the frustration on his face and I was just trying to sooth him.

"Do you think you could stand up?" I asked him gently. I didn't want to rush him but I was numb from the cold and really wanted to go inside. I waited for him to give me any indication if he could stand up and I was almost cheering when he nodded his head. I helped him sit up and he was trying to move his legs, which was not easy after being under that snow for so long but he did it after a few minutes. I stood up as fast as I could, which was not fast as I was hurt all over my body but I wasn't snowed in so I really should stop complaining, my main concern had to be Niall now so the complaining in my head had to stop because the world certainly didn't revolve around me all the time.

When I was helping him stand up, he almost fell down, as his legs still didn't really cooperate and as I wasn't the strongest person around it was also really difficult to balance him. Eventually we were standing and made our way back to the house slowly. I could tell it was freezing because the path that I made was now as slippery as ice. We had to stop when we were halfway because I needed to catch my breath as Niall was leaning heavily on me and as we had to walk slow because the slippery of the road it cost me all my strength to not let us fall.

After a minute or so we continued our way back to the house and when we finally had reached the door I was feeling like the walking dead. I needed to get him into a hot bath because then I could change my clothes and take some medicine. I also needed to fix the fireplace so that the house could get warm again. When we reached the stairs I was cursing at it because this would be a bitch to climb right now and my worry for Niall increased as he hadn't said a single word but kept walking anyway.

I was so in awe off him and the way he kept going even if he was badly hurt by his awful fall. He was just incredible. "We're almost there Niall," I told him gently and he only nodded and kept his eyes on the ground. When we finally reached the bathroom I made him sit on the toilet whilst I was filling the bathtub. "Let's get you undressed," I said and I realized what I had just said and it did make me giggle a bit, as it was really inappropriate. How could I even think like that on a moment like this? God get it together!!.

I turned around so I was facing Niall and I began to pull his sweater over his head and the remaining clothes followed. I stopped when he was only in his boxers because there was no way I was going to pull them off even if he was like this. I just couldn't do that. He just had to bathe with them on. I mean he was feeling like shit enough and I wasn't adding anything to that. I pulled him up again and helped him towards the bath but he stopped me and opened his mouth for the very first time after opening his eyes.

"Wait Emily" he said with a soar and raspy voice and I stopped doing what I was doing. I stared at him and waited for him to say something. "I need some space, doing this" he mumbled and that actually stung a bit but I guess I understand. I nodded and walked towards the door, I felt his eyes on me but I didn't look back as I walked out of the door.

Niall's Pov;

When she left the room I could finally breath again. The way she looked when I opened my eyes. My god I was actually really shocked. She had red spots all over her face and this was probably because she was worried and stressed about me. I wasn't really sure what had happened because all I know was that I was really pissed off at her because she was busy with her homework. I mean I know that it is important but we only have a few days left and I just wanted to spend it with her without thinking about the near future. I threw around some stuff in the kitchen but she didn't respond except for asking me to be quiet and that pissed me off even more and I stormed outside and grabbed the shovel on the wall.

I made a path through the snow. I looked behind me but there was no sign of Emily and that really bothered me, I mean why wouldn't she come after me? I would come after her if she was mad except when I thought I didn't do anything wrong, which was the case right now but then again I do understand were she is coming from, her life doesn't stop with me and she does have a life outside this bubble and to be honest I really acted like a dick, I thought whilst walking back to the house when I suddenly slipped and hit my head I guess and next thing I know I hear Emily yell "Damn it why does this have to happen" that I know something is really wrong.

I was trying to open my eyes but I couldn't. It was like something was blocking my sight and I heard her crying. Suddenly I felt her lips on mine and her hand was searching for a pulse and apparently she found one because she left me again only to return with something really warm, I guess it where blankets as it felt really soft but then I felt her body pressed against me. She moved my body so that I was now lying on her chest and she was stroking my cheek and hair.

I heard her begging for me to wake up and open my eyes but I wasn't quite there yet but I was trying my best to open my damn eyes and letting her know that I was okay. She must be so afraid and worried that I almost felt guilty for doing this to her. Why did I have to be so angry in the first place? Okay, I know why because I just don't want her to leave me, as she is the person who calms me down and with all the craziness it's exactly what I need. I let my self-doubt get the best off me and look where that got me.

Knocked out on the ground and under cooled! Stupid that was what it was. I felt her lips touch my forehead and that's when I felt an electric shock go through my body and men that really hurt. I guess it's the warmth getting back I my body. I moved my hand and I felt her tense up immediately so I tried the same thing a few times "Niall?" she whispered and I opened my eyes and was met by sad green eyes, with a hint of red in it.
