Niall Horan Imagines

Memories

(This is an imagine dedicated to the beautiful Johannah. Thinking of you now and forever, RIP beautiful lady xx.)

You'd only been with Niall for just under 2 years, but in that short time, you'd gotten to know so much of the 'One Direction Family' and they were some of the best people in your life.

You were especially close with Johannah, Louis' mum, during touring times, and you still remained close even after. You texted each other every day, not letting a day go by where you didn't talk to each other.

When she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of (—honestly don't even want to say it) a disease, your heart broke. The worst things always happened to the best people. Throughout the whole diagnosis, you tried to remain as positive as possible but you couldn't help being upset.

~Present Day~

Never did you think this was how your week would end and never did you think you'd be losing one of your best friends — never in your wildest dreams.

The disease won and you wish there was something you could do about it. You couldn't help but break down every time you thought about Johannah or spoke about the death. It pained you to even think this was reality. You still don't believe it.

You're sat here, scrolling through the photo album on your phone of the two of you, reminiscing on all of the great memories you had together.

"Jay! I missed you so much." You squeal as you meet her at the airport. You'd come to London to visit her and she'd picked you up from the airport.

"Hi my darling, I missed you so much too. How are you?" She says, a cheery smile on her face.

"I'm great thank you, how are you?" You reply.

"That's amazing. I'm very well, thank you."

"Well, I need to give you something. I know we're not 5 but I consider you one of my closest friends and I saw these matching bracelets at the shops and immediately thought of you." You pull them out. "I wanted you to have one. They have pink marble beads and a charm with two people holding hands on it. I wanted to give it to you because it symbolises that no matter the distance, I'll always be here for you." You say, handing one of them to her.

"Thank you so much darling, I'll never take this off and I'll always be thinking of you." Johannah says, hugging you again.

That was one of the greatest memories you have with Johannah and she kept her promise, never taking the bracelet off. It's one of your most treasured and prized possessions now.

You looked down at your wrist, seeing the bracelet wrapped around it, thinking of her. It made the tears roll down even more.

Niall was due back home any minute after he went out to get some dinner.

"I'm home princess." He softly says, as he walks through the door.

"Princess. Please don't cry." He says as he spots you bawling your eyes out on the couch.

"It's so hard, Ni. I miss her so much."

"I know beautiful, we all do. She was an amazing person but she's not in pain anymore and she's okay. She's always looking down on everyone, including you baby girl. I know she was very proud of you and very grateful to have a friend like you in her life." He says, rubbing your back as he takes a seat next to you and pulls you into him.

"Ni." You cry, tears still rolling down your face along with loud sniffles escaping you.

"She's okay now princess, think of it like that. She's not suffering anymore. You know you meant a lot to her and she'll always be in our heart but you have to try and stay strong baby girl. She's in a better place now, she's free of pain and she's thinking of you." Niall says, trying to keep the tears in himself.

Johannah was one of the most important people in your life and now that she was gone, you didn't know what you were going to do.

Author's Note:

Not going to lie, I cried writing this. Johannah was such an incredible everything and she meant so much to so many people (I know I already said this in a previous post, but I'm saying it again).

I never even knew about the sickness but it's so sad. I am honestly still so shocked. She was only 43 but she had her 7 beautiful children, a  husband, a grandson, friends and family and she had her whole life left to live.

Johannah was taken way too soon, but I'm happy the pain of this terrible disease she went through is gone. I honestly can't even comprehend this. You might think I'm overreacting but this is honestly so hard. She was so selfless and she didn't deserve to go this early, not at all. 

She was always helping out charities, doing all she could for others diagnosed etc. She always put others before herself and for that, this world will always be grateful for the 43 years she spent on this earth. 

I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Johannah and family + friends. We love you so much and are here to support you.

RIP beautiful lady, may you rest easy xx
