Just Friends? (Niall Horan & Adnan Januzaj fiction)

Carnival!

*** Adnan's P.O.V. ***

It had been a couple of day since the World Cup had started. We had won all of our matches so far but I still haven't had the chance to get on the pitch and play. I haven't hung out with Nicole for a few days and I didn't want to ditch her like this.

*** Training ***

“Hey, Adnan," Hazard said as he came and sat next to me while I took a time out for training. He was a bit out of breath.

“Hi Hazard," I said as I gave him some water.

“Thanks," Hazard said as he accepted the drink.

“What's wrong?" he asked as he drank some water.

“Nothing," I said trying to avoid eye contact.

“Shut up Adnan, I know there's something up, it's written on your face," Hazard said as he nugded me.

“I just want to spend sometime with Nicole, I don't like blowing her off like this," I admitted.

“So, just tell the coach you need a day off," Hazard replied as he whipped his face with a towel.

“Yeah and take her where?" I moaned.

“There's going to be a carnival and you could Nicole and have a great time," Hazard suggested. I looked at my team players running then I looked back at Hazard.

“Fine, tell me more," I said not sounding too eager.

*** After the training ***

“Hey Adnan," Nicole began to say as she saw he heading into my room.

“Hi," I replied as I stood outside my room leaning against the wall.

“When are we going to spend sometime together?" Nicole questioned as she walked towards me.

“Look habibti, I'm sorry I haven't been around but look I promise I'll make it up to you. We're going to a carnival tonight," I explained to her has I held her hand.

“Okay!" Nicole said in excitement.

“OMG! A carnival! I've never been to a carnival," Nicole carried on to say.

“Bye Habibti, I need to go take a shower because I'm sweating like mad," I explained as I opened my room door and went in.

“Okay bye, but wait! What time do I have to be ready by?" Nicole asked.

“I'll come at around 9:00pm," I replied as I closed the door.

*** 9:00 pm ***

*** Nicole's P.O.V. ***

It was soon going to be 9pm and I was trying to get Maya out of bed.

“Come on! You have to come with me!" I moaned to Maya, pulling on her blanket.

“No!" she moans back, putting a pillow over her head.

“But why?" I questioned her as I let go of the blanket.

“I'm tired and I feel like I'm third- wheeling when Adnan's around," Maya complained.

“Urgh! Fine," I said as I stormed off to the bathroom.

I was wearing a knee length dress, it had light blue flowers all over it. With it I wore black open toe shoes and I had my hair down and didn't bother to wear a jacket.

I was applying some make up when the door knocked. I quickly finished doing my lip stick and rushed to the door.

I opened to see an amazing looking Adnan. He had a blue cap on with a black and blue Nike hoodie on with black skninny jeans, he wore some really cool light blue air max.

“Wow you look amazing," Adnan said as he first looked at me.

“Aww thanks, you don't look too bad yourself," I joked with him.

“You ready?" he asked.

“Um, yeah," I replied. He took my hand and we walked down the hallway.

We walked out the hotel and made our way to the carnival.

“Why aren't we taking the car?" I begin to ask.

“It's going to be really crowded and we wont really find any parking place. It's not that far anyways," Adnan replies as he fixed his hat.

We were walking down this really dark street which was lite up by lamp-posts. It was getting a bit boring while we were walking down the street so I grabbed his hat and jogged a bit foward.

“Heeeey! Give me my hat back," Adnan moans as he begins to walk a bit faster towards me.

“Come and get it!" I tease Adnan.

“Oh, so you want me to come and get yeah," Adnan begins to play along. He runs towards me and grabs my hand and takes the hat off me, he quickly puts it on while he still has my hand in his. He turns me around holding on to my hand. Now he has me faced backwards towards him and his and my hand are still together and over my chest, he begins mess up my hair.

“Heeey," I moan. I push him back and release myself from that position, mine and his hands still locked. I slowly start to drift away from him when he  pulls me back towards him and puts his hand over my shoulders. He draws me into a very cousy hug and we walk like this the whole way. I felt really safe, it was nice to be so loved and protected by Adnan.

*** Adnan's P.O.V. ***

Me and Nicole were about to reach the end of the street when we heard the crowd cheering. We turned left from the corner and saw how crowded it was. Nicole face lite up when she first saw the crowd. She broke out of our hug and walked a towards the crowd. How are we suppose to get through I thought to myself. I saw Nicole sleeveless and about feel how cold it was. I took and hoodie off and walked up to her placed the hoodie around her shoulders.

“Thanks," She shouted as she turned around trying to get her voice through the crowd

“Nicole hold on to my hand and don't let go," I yelled over the crowd noise as she properly put my hoodie on. Nicole clenched my hand and shouted,

“Okay,".

I pushed myself through the crowd trying to find a spot to stand, there was literally no room. The carnival music was really loud and the crowd cheered on the people who were walking by. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked back.

“Let's go back," Nicole shouts. She looks very uncomfortable and squashed. I nodded okay and tried to make my way back. We had walked a bit too far into the crowd and it was going to take us ages to get out.

I made my way back with Nicole's hand in mine when suddenly she lets go. I turn around to see what happened and also to take her hand. She wasn't there. I was shocked and scared.

“Nicole!" I yelled trying to see if she was there. I went back the way I came and tried to find her.

“Nicole!" I continusly yelled. There was no sign of her. My worried little heart was so terrified.

Hours went by as I forced myself through the crowd to find her. Everybody was beginning to leave so I thought it would be easier to find her now.

The whole place was empty and nobody was there. I ran back to the hotel with tears starting to flow from my eyes.

I ran upstairs to Nicole's room and began to violently bang on the door.

“OPEN THE DOOR!" I yelled as my patients grew small. A sleepy Maya opened the door, I moved her aside and walked into her room trying to find Nicole.

“Where's Nicole?" I questioned her with my panting voice.

“I don't know, isn't she suppose ti be with you?" Maya asked. I was too freaked out and worried to answer her question, I stormed out my room and went back to where the canival was. I kept searching through the empty streets to find her, but I couldn't. I ran through the street we walked through and stopped. I looked around and then held my head, more and more tears began to pour out of my eyes. I can't believe it, I lost her...
