Chapter 18
Niall and I ended up riding Space Mountain more than once. The first time we got Liam or Zayn still hadn't called. So, we went on the ride again.
Then again.
And again.
We figured after our fourth time we should go looking for them. We started to head towards the castle because it was all lit up. Then a girl ran up to us because she recognized Niall. Her name was Anna. Out of all of the fans the guys talked to today, Anna was the biggest. By biggest, I don't mean fat. She was just a wee bit obsessed with One Direction.
Anna had shoes that had the guys faces on them, a One Direction shirt, and a few pins with their faces on it. It was kind of crazy. When she saw Niall she screamed so loud. My ears are still ringing. Niall, of course, took some pictures with her and signed her shoes next to his face.
I stood off to the side awkwardly, because I kept receiving death glares from her. I don't think she liked me that much. I think it was because when she ran up to us, Niall and I were holding hands. She probably thinks I'm his girlfriend.
Anna, finally, just left after talking to Niall for a good twenty minutes. Now we are heading to the castle. The guys have to go through this eventually to get out of the park. That way it won't seem like we got lost.
"Let's agree on not telling the guys about us getting lost." I speak up.
"I was thinking the same thing. Zayn would murder me if he found out." Niall runs his other hand through his hair, looking slightly worried.
"Is someone afraid of my twin brother?" I poke him in the side, laughing.
Niall nods his head. "Only when he is being extremely protective of you."
"I can understand that." I agree with him. "I don't he would murder you, though. Zayn knows how you manage to keep me calm. If he killed you than he would have to deal with my pathetic crying in the middle of the night."
"You're not pathetic." Niall stops in front of the castle steps.
I turn around to face him. "Are you kidding me? Waking up during the night and needing someone to comfort me is pathetic."
"No, it just shows that you have been strong for too long. You can't deal with all of this on your own." Niall steps closer to me.
"Exactly." I nod. "That is pathetic. I should be able to deal with all of this on my own."
"You are not pathetic." Niall sets his hands on my shoulders. "If you say it one more time you will suffer the consequences."
"What consequences?" I cross my arms and wait for him to answer. Niall doesn't say anything, but stare at me. "I'm pathetic." I smirk.
Niall sighs. "You don't listen."
"I'm curious." I shrug, realizing he won't do anything.
"Curiosity leads to trouble." Niall continues walking to the castle. He jogs halfway up the stairs, leaving me behind.
What is he doing?
"I'm sorry!" Niall shouts and spins around to face me.
"Niall, what are you-?"
Niall takes a step down. "What I did was stupid! I feel terrible!"
My eyebrows wrinkle together. What in the world is he doing? I glance around me to see people starting to form a circle around us. Is this the consequence? He is going to embarrass me in front of everybody? I don't like this idea.
"Look, I don't care for her. You're the only girl I want." Niall reaches me on the ground.
"Stop." I whisper to him under my breath. "You're acting like Louis."
"Say you aren't pathetic." Niall replies. I shake my head at him. "I will continue doing this then."
He opens his mouth to talk, but I cover it with my hand. "I'm not pathetic." I whisper. I feel Niall smile under my hand. I pull my hand away.
"Let's go find the lads." He grabs my hand and leads me up the castle stairs.
"I can't believe you did that." I pull my hand out of his and cross my arms. "I thought you couldn't act."
"I never said that." Niall chuckles at me.
"I saw ICarly." I tell him, walking in a store filled with Disney products. "You had like one line and I could tell acting wasn't your talent."
Niall puts his hand to his heart. "Now you're just being mean."
Niall's ringtone goes off, playing a song I've never heard before. He holds it up to his ear. I'm guessing he is talking to Zayn or Liam. Niall hangs up a few minutes later and grabs my hand, pulling me out of the store in the castle. I follow him down the steps to the exit.
"Where are we going?" I ask him.
"The lads are on a bus waiting for us." Niall heads over to where all the buses go. "The bus is about to leave."
With that said, Niall bursts out in a run. I follow closely behind him with my hand still in his. We run past a group of girls. I glance over my shoulder to see them staring at Niall with their mouths dropped open. They recognized him. I hear a bunch of shoes pounding on the concrete. Niall looks behind us to see the girls chasing us.
"Run faster!" I yell at him.
We run right up to the only bus there. Niall pushes me forward and I jump on the bus first. Niall jumps on and the bus driver shuts the doors behind us quickly. The girls bang on the doors dramatically. Niall waves to them. That was close.
"That was awesome!" Louis exclaims from the back of the bus. "Did you see that one girl in the purple? I thought she was going to strangle Natalie."
I walk to the back of the bus where the guys are. "Yes, because me almost getting strangled is awesome." I comment sarcastically.
"Glad you agree." Louis grins.
"What's in the bag?" Eleanor points to the bag in Niall's other hand.
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about all of the desserts he bought. I snatch the bag from Niall's hand and show Eleanor what is inside.
"Can I have a cupcake?" Eleanor asks me.
"No!" Niall takes the bag back. "These are mine."
"Sharing is caring, Niall." I tell him.
"Well, it's a good thing I don't care then." Niall takes out a piece of fudge.
"Can I have a piece?" I point at the peanut butter fudge in his hand.
Niall glances at the fudge then at me. "Here." He hands me the fudge.
"Whoa!" Harry shouts. "You got Niall to share!" Niall shrugs and pulls out another piece of fudge.
"That's never happened before." Liam stares at me in shock.
"If you guys don't shut up I'll take it back." Niall glares at Liam and Harry.
"You wouldn't take it from me." I bite into the fudge.
The guys look from me to Niall. Niall reaches to grab the fudge from my hand, but stops halfway. I smirk at him, knowing I won. Niall may love his food, but he can't take it away from me. His hand drops in his lap as he grumbles to himself.
"Did that just happen?" Harry whispers in shock.
"I think we found Niall's weakness besides food." Louis grins mischievously.
Are they saying I'm his weakness? No. That's impossible. How could I possibly be his weakness? It doesn't make any sense.
