Forget Me Not

Chapter 1

   We were 17, best friends. Niall and I were always close ever since we were younger. He was the one I always turned to when I needed someone. He was the one I could always count on. We did everything together and always had each other's backs. He was the one person I trusted more than anything and.... He was the only guy that I've ever truly loved. That is until the day I lost him.
    
                    

                       *FLASHBACK*

   

        We were walking down the street side by side after seeing our friends. There was a park near by so we walked to it and sat under a tree near the pond. He looked at me. "Hey can you promise me something?" I looked at him, staring into his beautiful deep blue eyes. "Yeah?" He sat up straight and looked me in the eyes. "Promise me we'll always be best friends."
I smiled at him. "Of course we will." He smiled and raised up his pinky finger. "Pinky swear?" I linked my pinky with his. "Pinky swear." He gave a bright smile and I laughed as I pushed him down then got up and ran away from him.
"Catch me if you can!" He laughed as he got up and chased me. Since he had longer legs, he caught up to me quickly. I screamed as he grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder. "Niall put me down!" I laughed pounding my fist into his back.
"Nope not until you say Niall Horan is the sexiest leprechaun in the world!" He laughed as he spun me around. "Fine! Niall Horan is the sexiest leprechaun in the world." I whisper/scream.
    "I can't hear you!" He laughed, putting me down on my feet and started to tickle me. "Niall stop!" I yelled falling to the ground. He straddled me and continued to tickle me more. "Not until you say it!" He laughed more.
    "NIALL HORAN IS THE SEXIEST LEPRECHAUN IN THE WORLD!" I yelled. "Now was that so hard?" He asked standing up, holding his hand out to me. I took it but instead of standing up, I pulled him down.
    He ended up falling down on top of me. Our faces were only a few inches apart. My heart started to race a little. We just looked each other in the eyes. He smiled at me and I smiled back. He slowly started to lean in. Wait is he about to kiss me? Oh my gosh! I lean in as well. He brushed his lips against mine like he was testing to see if I would pull away and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. I grabbed the back of his neck and closed the space between us.
     I've liked Niall for 4 years now and didn't think he felt the same way about me at all. But we're kissing! This is so unreal. This wasn't my first kiss but I swear I felt a spark. This was unlike any other. It felt right and my stomach erupted with butterflies. He pulled away slowly and we looked at each other. "....wow." I could feel my cheeks getting hot. "Yeah... wow." Niall just kissed me. My best friend just kissed me. He smiled and climbed off me. Once up he helped me up as well. "I should probably get you home." I looked down blushing then I felt him slip his hand into mine, interlacing our fingers. I looked up at him and he was smiling his bright beautiful smile. "Lets go." I nodded and we started walking.I looked down at our hands then smiled to myself.
     We walked until we got to my front door. We turned towards each other and all I could do was blush and smile. "Well today was fun." He smiled. "Yeah I had a lot of fun with you today." I pushed my hair behind my ear. Everything went silent for a few minutes. "Well I guess I should go. My mom is probably looking for me." I really don't want him to go. I wish he could stay with me for a little while longer. "Oh.. a-alright then. I guess I'll see you around then?"
     All he could do was smile then lean forward and kissed me one last time before turning to walk away. Wow... that boy. I swear I won't be able to get used to that. I turned to go inside only to turn back around after hearing someone call my name. I turned to see Niall standing a little ways down the sidewalk "Kassi?..." I looked up at him a little confused and anxious. "Yes Niall?" There was a pause then he spoke. "I love you.. I always have."
   I was shocked. I never expected him to ever say that to me. They are the words I've longed to hear him say. I smiled brightly at him. "I love you too Niall." He smiled and waved goodbye and walked away. I went inside and went straight into my room then fell onto my bed. "Wow.... what a day." He told me he loved me... and he kissed me. Could this day get any better? My eyes started to get heavy and I soon fell asleep.
     I waken up by a buzzing sound. "Uhh what time is it?" I looked at the clock. 1:36am. "Who could be call at this time of night?" I grabbed my phone and answered it without checking the caller ID first. "Hello?" I heard crying from the other end of the phone. "Kassi, honey?" I sudden bolted up straight. "Mama Maura? What's wrong?" There was a long pause. "It's Niall honey... he and the boys went out to the movies earlier. On their way home something attacked them. No one knows what it was but they were in pretty bad shape.... Harry, Liam, Louis, and Zayn have already passed sweetie... Niall is awake and has been asking for you..." I gasped and tears stared filling my eyes. "I'm on my way! I have to see Niall."
    "Ok sweetheart but hurry." I hung up the phone and rushed to the hospital. Thank god I lived close. I ran to the front desk. "Niall Horans room please." She frowned. "Room 206... I'm so sorry sweetie..." I ran into the room and he looked at me. I gasped and my hands covered my mouth.
    He had gashes everywhere on his body. I ran to him, crying. Everyone else left the room to give us a few minutes alone. I grabbed his hand and kissed it gently as I cried. "Kassi... look at me." I looked up at him slowly. "I know... this is hard for y-you to hear... but I'm not gonna m-make it." I started shaking my head crying even harder than before. "No Niall. Please don't leave me."
     "I c-can't hold on m-much longer princess.... I wanted you to know... I love you s-so much." I closed my eyes tightly as the tear ran down my face and I laid down beside him. He wrapped his arms around me gently so he wouldn't hurt himself. "I love you too Nialler." I looked up at him and kissed him one last time. 30 minutes later his heart monitor started making a loud beep sound.
    I looked up and it was flat lined. Doctors came rushing in and I got up and grabbed his hand. "Niall?" His hand was cold. "Ma'am. You have to leave." I heard a doctor say to me but I just shook my head and fell to my knees crying hard. "No Niall no!" I whispered. "You two take her out of here now!" I felt hands grab my arms and I started struggling to get free from their grasp, screaming and Kicking at them. "NO LET ME GO!! NIALL! NIALL!" They took me out of the room and to a waiting room and sat me down.
    My friend Shana walked over to me and sat down beside me. I looked at her and her eyes were red and puffy. "I'm sorry about Niall and the rest of the lads." I looked at her. "Yeah.... me too.. and I'm sorry about Harry." Her eyes filled with tears and so did mine. We hugged each other and cried until the doctor walked out and told us Niall didn't make it. I went home and cried myself to sleep that night.
