My Lucky Charm

Chapter 6. ; The accident.

Alex's POV.

It is the end of the week now. The last few days actually went by pretty quickly without any dramas, thank god. I had seen Harry around campus a couple times and we exchanged smiles but nothing else. I've been missing Niall more than I should. Everyday when I walk to the music block I'm hoping to see him standing on the corner of the building waiting for me, but he never is. My phone buzzes and interrupts my thoughts. 

"Hello?"

"Hi babe, it's Niall" I feel myself get all giddy inside.

"Hi Niall, How's Ireland?"

"It's great but I miss you...sorry I shouldn't of said that i mean urr.."

"Niall, I miss you too" I can feel high smile through the phone.

"Anyways I was just calling quickly to tell you i'll be in England on Christmas Eve, so i'll come see you on Christmas day? Around 3pm?"

"Sure, I can't wait! See you then" 

I hang up the phone and continue packing my case for home. Luckily, Phoebe and I are neighbours otherwise we would have to say goodbyes and that wouldn't go well. I can't remember the last time we spent like more that 5 days away from each other, she is practically my sister. I close my case and drag it to the front of our dorm room. 

"Phoebe's I'm ready! Let's go"

"Okay, my stuff is already in your car...bye dorm see you in 2 weeks" I roll my eyes and she laughs. 

We drive home with the music blasting and singing at the top of our lungs. We both live in Yorkshire which is about 2 hours away from London, but the drive always goes by so quickly. Before we know it we are pulling onto my drive. Dad runs out of the house and gives us both a huge hug. Followed by Phoebe's mum, Katie, hugging us as well.

Its Christmas Eve and I'm literally on edge. Tomorrow the day I see Niall and I can't wait, it has only been about 2 weeks since I last saw him but it feels like an eternity. Currently I'm with my step mum, dad and little brother,Tom, sat around the tree. It is a tradition in our family that we open one of our presents on Christmas Eve to get the excitement going. As usual Tom goes first picking the biggest box in sight. He opens it to find a PS4. He squeals and runs to give Tracy and dad a hug, I swear he is the most spoilt boy in the world. Next it's my turn, I was going to choose something from under the tree but instead I run to my room and grab the box that Niall had given me, I know this present should wait till tomorrow but if Tom gets his most special present, I want mine. I open the card first and on it, it reads:

Dear Alex,

Hope you have an amazing Christmas, i'll see you soon but for now here is your present. It is a little charm to add to your bracelet because I know that night in Frankie's was your first performance and you were the best. Hope you like it,

Your Nialler x

I open the box and inside is a beautiful four leaf clover charm. I feel myself gasp, and smile at Niall's choice in charms, of course the four leaf clover was a symbol of luck but also Irish to remind me of him. I clip it onto my bracelet and admire it, I'm considering calling him right now but I'll wait till tomorrow. I walk down the stairs and my family turn to look at me,

"What did you open?" Tracy asks

"A present from someone at school, it's a charm for my bracelet because I did my first public performance"

"Oh, that's very sweet of them"

I sit back down while Tracy and dad open their presents but I can't help but think about Niall and his beautiful gift, tomorrow is going to be so fun.
