Moments In Time

Chapter Twenty Four

AWalsh311: Can't believe it's been two whole weeks I've been in Ireland! Time just flies by! 

EleanorJCalder: @AWalsh311 And in just a month you'll be in London! Can't wait to see you babe, these Skype calls aren't enough! xo

Part of me shivered as I felt a cold sweat dripping down my face. I opened my eyes and looked at the time on my alarm clock. 4:32 AM. My heart was beating faster and faster as I clutched my chest. Gosh, I can't believe I forgot to take my meds.

The stairs creaked as I made my way down to the kitchen. It was completely dark when I searched through the kitchen for the cupboard, only the moonlight gave me some guidance. Pouring myself some water, I searched fo medicine and took a few gulps of water as I popped each pill one by one. 

I ran quickly up the stairs and jumped onto my bed, feeling the warmth of the covers. Much better, I thought as my eyes slowly closed back into slumber. Beep. Beep. My hand searched for the cell wondering if it was better to leave it to voicemail.

"Hello?" I mumbled under my covers.

"Auddie? I'm sorry, are you alseep?" Niall's voice rang out.

I couldn't help but smile a bit, "Well, Niall, it's almost five o'clock in the morning, so yes I was asleep." I giggled, "Why are you calling?"

Niall stuttered a bit as he began, "I was just wondering...well...are you sure I should go to this festival at the church today?"

"Why not?" 

"Well, it's just---"

"Been a while since you've been to church." I finished for him, "Don't worry, Niall. There's nothing to fear, I promise."

I could hear him sigh a bit, "As long as I'm with you, I think I'm going to be okay."

Smiling a bit, I said, "Very sweet of you, Niall, but going to church shouldn't be keeping you up at night."

"Oh it isn't," Niall said, "I just wanted an excuse to call you."

"Niall James Horan!" I yelped, "I can't believe you!"

His laugh echoed through the phone and I was almost afraid he wouldn't be able to breathe, "I'll let you sleep, love. See you later."

Rolling my eyes I replied, "Good night." Snuggling back into my bed, I couldn't help but smile a bit. No guy had ever tried to find an excuse to talk to me. Well, maybe they did, but I just didn't noticed.

In just two weeks, Niall and I spent about half our time together coming up with mischief. Niall took me to the famous Dublinia. His eyes grew wide when I told him I never been there in which Niall got his car keys and we drove to the heart of  Dublin.

Knowing my love for history, Niall showed me all the exhibitions Dublinia had to offer. "You'll love this." His eyes glowed as we made our way to the recreation of a once medieval Dublin. Tourists from all over were around us as I saw volunteers dressed up in the Shakespearean attire. Men came and went singing old folk songs with beer jugs in their hands. Other would come near me and I quickly asked to take a picture with them. 

My eyes grew wide when we walked into the Merchant's house, all kinds of old artifacts laid before me and I was absolutely breathless. Our tour guide talked in the old tongue while I looked up and down at the history that laid before me.

"Take a bite." Niall said laughing at my expression, "I promise that the rabbit is good."

"Niall, I can't even fathom the idea of eating a poor little rabbit." I said poking the meat that laid before me.
