I blushed so deeply that I worried the rest of my body was white as snow, "Niall," I said, "Hey!"

"Oh my God, are you okay?" He knelt beside me.

"Im okay," I said, "Why are you here?"

"Are you sure? Can you stand?" Niall asked, ignoring my question.

"Yeah." I said as I got up quickly. I put some pressure on my left foot. I groaned and leaned into him. He picked me up and carried me into the dining room, placeing me on the counter.

"I really am fine, Niall-" I said as he began to unlace my skate. He pulled the boot off and I wimpered.

"Stop lying to me," Niall said sternly as he unlaced the other one, "Is there a first-aid kit here?"

"Uhm, yeah, in the back by the lockers." I said. He nodded and disappeared back into the kitchen. I exhaled and in a minute he was back. I watched Niall as he opened the plastic box and took out the guase.

"Tell me if I wrap it too tight." He said as he began to doctor my ankle.

"So why were you here?" I asked again.

"I left my phone here and when I came in to get it I heard you scream."

"Oh, well, thanks. I owe you." I said as he finished up.

"No you dont," He smiled at me," Now were even."

"Okay."

"Im going to take you home, do you have a car?" He asked.

"Oh, you dont-" I started.

"Yes I do," Niall said, "Im involved now, I have too."

I looked at him for a minute, "Okay," I agreed, "But I got to get my shoes and my bag-"

"Ill get it." He smiled and vanished again. I blushed. I swung my legs back and forth for a bit, then Niall came back out with my boots and my hobo bag. I slipped my boots on and slung my bag over my shoulder.

"Give me the keys." He said and I handed them over. Niall swiched off the lights and we plummeted into a darkness only lit by the blue and green lighting of the sign outside.

Niall walked back over and scooped me up in his arms. This time I didnt argue and wrapped my arms around his neck. His colouge smells so good. Is that creepy? I dont think so, Im in smelling proxmmitity of him, I can say he smells amazing.

We made it to my car and he placed me on the hood of my yellow Fiat Cimquecemto to unlock the door. Niall helped me in, shut my door, and got in on the drivers side, "Where to?" He asked.

"Turn left onto Madison then take another left at the light."

I gave Niall turn-by-turn directions to my small, dinky apartment on the other side of town. When we arrived Niall carried me in through the main doors. We both looked at the stairs. I completely forgot about them, the stairs.

"You said you lived on the top floor, right?" Niall asked.

"Yeah."

"Is there an elevator?" He asked.

"There is," I said," But its out of order." Niall sighed, as if in defeat.

"Dont worry about it," I said as I started to let go of him,"I can do it."

"No," Niall said holding me tight, "Itll be okay." Then he took off at a steady pace, carrying me up the stairs. Niall is such a gentleman. Why is he doing this? He doesnt know me. I shouldnt be any of his concern and yet hes taking care of me as if Ive known him forever.

5 flights of stairs later we made it to me door. Niall leaned in a little so he could unlock the door. I could feel his heart racing. Mine picked up as well, then I reminded myself that the reason hes panting is because he just carried 150 pounds of me up 5 flights of staris.

We went in and I hit the switch to revele my extremely random living room that held everything from my beloved comp. dance memerioblelia to the boxes and boxes of stuff I havent unpacked yet. Niall carried me into the kitchen and set me down on the counter, "Is there anything youre going to need?" He asked me, sounding completely gunine.

"Uhm, well I want you to get a water bottle for yourself and then an ice pack from the freezer."

He smiled and nodded. I felt the light breeze from the fridge then Niall came back over and handed me the ice pack. "Thanks." I said.

"No problem." He said before taking a long sip. The water was gone in afew gulps. Niall tossed it in the garbage can. I wonder how many girls would pay to have that water bottle...

"Are you going to need anymore help?" He asked.

"No." I said as I jumped down, avoiding putting pressure on my left foot.

I had hopped one footed halfway to my bedroom when I felt two strong arms around my waist,"Youre so weird." He said in my ear, sending chills down my spine, before picking me up and carrying me down the hall.

"You know," I said as we entered my room, "Im not weird."

"Yes you are."

"No, you call it weird, I call it being good at being spontanious."

Niall chuckled and set me down on my bed and turned on my side table lamp. He looks amazing in soft light. Niall propped my bad leg on a pillow and placed the ice pack on my ankle, then covered me in my throw blanket that I kept at the bottom of my bed.

"There," he said,"If you now are completely safe, thanks to me, I should get going. The guys are probably getting worried."

"Okay," I said,"Thank you, Niall. I feel so bad about-"

"It wasnt a problem, Allie." He said as he rose from where he sat on the edge of my bed.

"Okay." I said as he turned to go. 

I dont know what made me do it. Maybe it was the fact the he is Niall Horan, of the fact that he was so nice to me, but I grabbed his hand, spun him around as I pulled him down to me, and left a small kiss on his cheek.

I wasnt sure howd he react, but when I let go I said, "Dont be a stranger." I smiled at the sight of him scarlet.

"O-okay," Niall said, then suprised me by kissing my cheek, "I wont."
