Remember When?
Here We Go
Clary's POV
It has been a month since that doctor's visit where is was diagnosed with sleep-deprived amnesia since the only way to heal the swelling is sleeping because then my brain is working as hard. So what did I do? I slept. A lot. I was always sleeping or wanting to sleep. It was like a drug for me. Niall would want to go out and he would come back to find me asleep, curled up on his couch with a Disney movie playing. Then I would wake up and make some dinner. He would ask if I wanted to visit Nicole but I tell him she came over earlier. It rotates through. One week Nicole visits me during the day to make sure I'm still functional then it goes El, Perrie, and Penny. Then back to Nicole. I haven't had another amnesic episode. The last one was that day I forgot Niall. So I think this whole sleep this is working. I am getting less and less tired throughout the days. I'm down to only 2 naps a day. I used to nap like 4-6 times a day at the start. So I think I'm getting better. Niall has been very patient. Super patient. One time, a few days ago, we were getting pretty heated during a make-out session on the couch. And I fell asleep on him. Literally on him. Granted he is my favorite pillow but still I felt so bad. He just laughed at me when I woke up. He's at rehearsal right now and Penny is on her way over to talk about the tour. There's a knock and I move from my painting corner. Niall set it up for me, it's right by the window so I can see the street and sky. It's in the living room. I'm currently trying to finish the painting I started when I first moved in with Penny. "Hey Penny! Come on in." She smiles and waltzes in. She's really taken to not having work right now because I got her off for the rest of the year. "Hello Clarissa! How are you doing?" They all ask that first. Then type a message to Niall.
"I'm fine…working on my painting. I already took a nap and woke up an hour ago. You be sure to tell him that." Penny laughs at me and sends the text off. He sends back his usual response, 'Thanks…tell her I'll be home soon.' So after that Penny and I sit on the couch and go over the details for tomorrow. We leave for South America tomorrow. Which is exciting and scary at the same time. "So you and I are sharing a room. I've already fought and won that battle with Niall." Penny laughs and it echoes throughout the cold apartment.
"Good because I think Harry just likes me as a friend so that would've been awkward." I purse my lips at that. God Harry still hasn't asked her out yet? I'm gonna have words with that boy.
"Right okay. So anyways…you're meeting us there at the airport?" Penny nodded along.
"Yep, Harry is picking me up on the way over. Two suitcases are fine right?" I nod at her then we pop in a Disney movie, Frozen is what's on today. And I was out like a light after they met Olaf. I feel Penny kiss my head and put my blanket over me. "See ya tomorrow Clarissa." She sneaks out. I wake up to the movie credits and Niall coming in through the door. "Hey! You're up early…I didn't wake you did I?" I shake my head no then restart the movie since I barely made it to half way. I'm still all wrapped up in my blanket when Niall sits down next to me. He leans over and kisses my head. He puts his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into him. "You're all packed up?" I nod and snuggle into him.
"Mhmm…I packed your clothes too." I keep my eyes on the screen because Do You Want To Build A Snowman? was playing. He waits until it ends to turn my head and peck my lips. That’s it, that's all we do since my little memory lapse. I think he's scared that something more will trigger another one.
"I love you. You hungry? Wanna go out?" I nod eager to get out of his apartment. He smiled and stopped the movie, telling me if I'm not feeling tired we could finish it when we got back. I go to his room and change into a nicer top then a t-shirt. I put on some boots and go back down. His apartment just felt like his with my stuff in some spots. It didn't feel like ours. I wanted it to but it doesn't. It's very nice and homey feeling but I will always think of it as his place, never ours. I don't know how to tell him this because he was so happy to hear I was moving in. Plus he calls it our place. I get down and he's waiting with my coat. "M'lady…" He puts it on my while I smile at him.
"Now the paps will be all over us because…you haven't really been seen in a while. I just want to make sure you are okay with it…"
"Niall its fine. And you're the one whose kept me locked in here under tight surveillance." I poke his chest while he just laughs at me.
"Right and you sleeping the days away had nothing to do with it." I stick my tongue out at him. He was true though. My whole sleep schedule really put a dampener on our night life. We get outside and there are some press
Niall's POV
I sit in the car patiently waiting for her. We went to Dr. Young yesterday and took another MRI. All the swelling and extra fluid is completely gone. But he said that the fear of cars will take more than that to heal. But its fine I'll wait a thousands lives for her. Finally she gets in and smiles at me. "Where we going today Niall?" I smile back and kiss her cheek.
"Someplace only we know." She is instantly giddy now. I'm glad I get to make her like that. The other day she went out with Nicole, against my saying, and ran into an ex. Nicole said he asked her to coffee so that's where they were. Which only fueled my jealous fire even more. I left work early and went over to where they were. I burst in and walked right over. Which only got me the silent treatment for the rest of the day. I look at our hands, intertwined. I rubbed my thumb over her knuckles. There's a faint scar in between her second and third knuckle. I bring her hand up and kiss it. The driver announces we are here. We get out and she runs over to the pavilion. I took her here once after the accident and she loved it. After that it became our place. Somewhere we go to get away from it all. I had it all decorated. Lights strung up and a table set up. "Oh Ni…you didn't." I walk up behind her and kiss her cheek.
"Anything for you baby." She spins around and kisses me. Its slow but deep. I grab her waist and pull her closer then break the kiss.
"Let's eat huh?" She looks at me for a second then sits down. She seems sad. Is it because I haven't let her get close…physically? We sit and talk about the tour coming up tomorrow. "So you are for sure rooming with Penny…you don't want to stay with me?" She stops eating and looks at me.
"Yep. It will be awesome. Why will you miss me?" She had on a playful smirk. I smirked back and continued to eat. I finished chewing and looked at her.
"Do you think I will miss you?" She stood up and sat on my lap, straddling me, playing with the hair on the back of my neck. She kissed me again then pulled away really fast.
"I think you will be begging for me." Then she hopped off and sat back down. She went back to eating like nothing just happening. Except my jeans were definitely tighter down there. And I could not focus on anything but her lips. I sat there staring at her. Completely and utterly captivated by her. After we finished eating we walked around the park. She was leaning on my shoulder, I had my arm around her, and that's when I see some cameras. She notices as well. And I'm waiting for her to dart or cower into me. But she gets off of me and waves to them. Then pecks me on the cheek. I am just stunned…she takes my hand and drags me back to the car. "What was that?...you know back there with the paps?" She just shrugged.
"Its part of being with you. So I might as well give them some good photos." I just chuckle at her and she leans her head on my shoulder. She dozes off so when we got to back to our place, I didn't have the heart to wake her up. So I picked her up and carried her to the elevator. We get to our place and open the door. I climb up the stairs to our room. I put her in bed and she stirred when I laid her down. "Niall…why didn't you wake me up? You didn't have to carry me." She was sitting up now and looking at me.
"Clary I don't care. Come on get ready for bed. We have a looong plane ride tomorrow." She smiles and hops out of bed to go get ready. Soon she was curled into my side, fast asleep.
I wake up and see Clary still curled into me. I just smile, not wanting to wake her up but we have a plane to catch. "Clary wake up…come on don't be like this. We have to go." I get up out of bed and decide to shower. Hopefully my sleeping beauty will be up by then. I get out to find her going through drawers trying to find something to wear. I was just in skinny jeans and a hoodie. "Stop staring Niall! Don't you have last minute things to do or something?" Oh yea there's the usual morning sunshine I know.
"Good morning to you too love." I peck her cheek then go downstairs to get cereal for us. She comes down later, her wet hair braided to the side. She's in yoga pants and…one of my shirts. I smile and push a bowl in front of her. She just eats then after she finishes she washes out the bowl. She seems a bit off still but maybe that's because its so bloody early in the morning. We get to the car and head to the airport. She spots Penny then goes running over. Harry and I look confused. "They just saw each other though…"
"I don't know Haz…Clary was acting weird this morning." He scoffed.
"Probably just tired. Thought the doc said she was all good now?" I just nod because it was true. Then my worst nightmare hit me like a ton of bricks in the airport. What if she is realizing that she doesn't love me…she doesn't need me. Then she comes running back over and grabs my hand. "Guess what?!"
"I don't know…what?" She rolls her eyes. Harry is just watching us, trying to pick up on anything I think.
"You stink. Anyways I got a call aaand turns out I am in charge of what you 5 digbats put on your media pages. How great is that?! And I am running the band's accounts for stuff. Its great right?" She is smiling from ear to ear, then she goes on to say how she also has to write a report on almost every concert for Radio One. Just the main ones or something.
"That's great…so do we have to like report to you when we tweet or…" She shakes her head.
"Nah I don't care what you guys put just nothing inappropriate okay? And try not to swear too much. I already told the other boys. Come on lets get some coffee…" And just like that all my doubts were washed away. But I think I doubt because I know that I need her more than she needs me.
