I held Niall as he cried into my shoulder. I wish I could take the pain away from him, every time he let out a sob it was like a knife into the gut. Niall was such a kind person, he didn’t deserve this. I don’ t know what was making him hurt so much, I wish he would tell me but pushing him to do so would get me nowhere. Soon his cries calmed down and his body only shook slightly.
“Ni, come on let’s get you to bed alright. I think you need some rest.” I said cautiously.
He nodded and wiped his eyes. I let him have my room since the guest room hasn’t been properly cleaned in awhile. Once I knew he was asleep I grabbed my laptop and stretched out on the couch. I went to Youtube and clicked the upload button. It had been awhile since I uploaded a video and I had already pre-recorded an apology video stating that I would begin to be more active again. Once thirty minutes had passed the video had been uploaded and comments poured in. Some of them were kind telling me that I could take all the time I wanted and others not so much, but no matter what I would still love them.
I grabbed a notepad and a pencil that I had stashed in the coffee table drawer and began writing down ideas of what I could shoot.
“Honey we’re home!” Liam shouted as he walked through the unlocked door.
I shushed him and Zayn began to laugh quietly.
“Seriously Niall has been a wreck and he just got to sleep, please Li be quiet.” I said as quiet and sternly as possible.
“You sound like a dad Haz, I’m sorry.” Liam smiled and pecked my cheek.
“All is forgiven.” I said throwing my arms around him for an over exaggerated hug.
“Now that’s were you’re wrong.” Zayn cut in.
Liam clearly became confused and Zayn smiled.
“Your lips aren’t on mine this is an outrage, how could you do this to me?” He asked with a smirk.
Liam’s expression turned into a mischievous one and inched closer to him.
“Please for the love of god, not in front of me.” I groaned.
“Aw poor Haz, we need to get you a boyfriend.” Liam said.
“I already like Louis, I’m just waiting for a proper time to ask him out.” I tell him as I shut my laptop.
“How did you admit that so casually?” asked Zayn with a look of amusement on his face.
“We’ve both come to terms with it.” I said with a shrug.
“And neither you have done anything yet? Seriously, you guys are perfect for each other!” Liam exclaimed.
I waved off their comments and tried to find a something I could change the topic to.
“So final exams are coming up soon are you guys ready?” I asked.
“I’m ready for this year to be over, we’ll be graduating next year though. That’s insane.” Liam rambled.
“Yeah I’ve already decided what I’m going to be doing, how ’bout you guys?”
“I’m continuing to get my masters so I can become an art professor.” Zayns aid with a fond smile.
“I’m thinking about going back to school so I can learn enough about music production.” Liam stated.
“I mean, it’s just an idea.” Liam added after, almost thinking we were going to judge him for it.
“I could see you doing that babe.” Zayn said, snuggling into his side.
“What about you Harry?” Zayn asked.
“I want to work as a movie director or producer. I’ve spent most of my life working on my youtube videos, so I figured why not just keep doing what I love.” I said, the fondness clear in my voice.
“What did you guys even come over for?” I asked after awhile of pointless conversation.
“Nothing really, just wanted to hang out with you guys. Louis has been out of the house all day planning something.” Zayn answered.
Just as I was about to reply my phone began to buzz.
From Lou:
You free tonight? 🙂
I looked up at Liam and Zayn who were snuggled up on the couch watching the tv.
To Lou:
Possibly, what are you thinking?
From Lou:
I’m thinking you, me a date? 😉
To Lou:
Oh?
From Lou:
Yeah, be at my house by seven and make sure to wear that cute little maroon sweater you have. 😉
To Lou:
I’ll be there babe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ran my finger through my wet hair before I even began to think about putting on my skinny jeans. It was hard enough without my legs being wet, but now that they are it was almost impossible. I took a deep breath, trying to suck in my gut and began my futile attempts in trying to get the jeans past my knees. After failing for what seemed like the hundredth time I plopped down on my bed, my jeans only up to mid-thigh. The maroon sweater was laid out beside me and I pulled it over my head so I could get my arms through it. Even while I was laying down the sweater fell loosely around my body and I felt comfortable despite the jean situation. With one last go I pulled the rest of my jeans up and buttoned them. Leaving my room I checked on Niall who was on the couch with Zayn and Liam where they were having what seemed to be an animated conversation.
I combed my fingers through my hair, grabbed my keys and phone, quickly checking the time and scrambled out the door praying I wouldn’t be late. Upon arriving at their house I knocked on the door. Louis answered the door looking as handsome as I think I’ve ever seen him.
“Hello beautiful.” Louis said, kissing my cheek.
The smell of his aftershave filled my nose and it made me want to sneeze. I blushed and gave him a quick hug.
“C’mon I have something special planned, let’s go.” Louis said, lacing our fingers together.
We began walking only going towards the were we played footie that one day. There was a cute little candle lit path that led to a table in the middle that was surrounded by flower petals.
“I paid the guard to let us in after hours.” Louis said, smiling proudly at his work.
“Lou, how much money did you pay him?” I asked.
“Like three hundred euros.” Louis said with a shrug.
“Why did you spend so much?” I asked as we walked towards the table.
“I have a job now and you’re worth way more than three hundred pounds.” He said casually.
“You got a job?” I asked as he pulled out the chair for me to sit in.
I thanked him and he sat down in his own chair.
“Yeah I was going to tell you over dinner, but hey surprise.” he says as he pulls out a bottle of wine from literally nowhere.
“Are you trying to make me swoon?” I asked nudging my glass over towards him.
“So, what job’d you get?” I asked, taking a sip of the red wine.
“It’s actually a theater job, I get paid to record all of the plays and such. I make really good money off of it and it’s fairly easy.” he said.
We continued to talk about his new job as he pulled out what we were having for dinner. Mcdonalds. I love this guy.
“I didn’t know what you liked so I just ended up buying forty chicken nuggets and a large fry for us to share.” he said sheepishly.
“It’s okay, I love it. Best date of my life.” I tell him before shoveling some fries into my mouth.
By the time dinner is done we’re both tipsy and can barely stumble back to his house.
“I think you should stay over.” Lou slurred.
I nodded, my head felt like it weighed a ton and it wasn’t even the day after yet. Man, I’m a lightweight. We both undressed each other, the action seemingly intimate but in all honesty we just wanted to go to bed. Lou pulled off his boxers and crawled into bed. I had to refrain myself from staring at his perfect body. I decided one of us should be clothed and crawled in next to him.
“Can I have a kiss Haz?” He mumbled.
I licked my lips before pressing them to his. He slid on of his legs between mine so they’d slot together and continued kissing me.
“If we keep doing this I don’t think I’ll be able to get to sleep.” I chuckled breathlessly.
Louis agreed and wrapped his arms around me. I pressed my face to his chest and fell asleep as the warmth of his body surrounded mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My head wasn’t pounding like I thought it would be the next morning and for breakfast Lou and I ate the leftover chicken nuggets from last night. I thought things might be a bit awkward because when we woke up Louis was naked, but he proceeded to tell me a cheesy joke then get in the shower.
“Hey, can I use your charger?” I asked Louis and he nodded.
I plugged in my iPhone waiting for it to power up. I had a missed call from Niall from about ten minutes ago and my heart beat increased. I clicked on his contact and hit call hoping he would pick up.
“Hey Haz.” Niall sniffled on the other line.
“Shit Niall, I’m sorry I didn’t answer the first time my phone was dead.” I rushed out my apology.
“I-it’s okay, just please hurry home. I think talking about the situation will make me feel better. Sorry for interrupting your date.” he said.
“I’ll be over just let me get my stuff.”
“Thank you Haz.” he whispered.
I looked up at Louis who was already looking at me sadly.
“I guess you have to go?” Louis asked quietly.
“Louis I’m sorry it’s Niall he needs me right now.” I gave him a pleading look.
I almost felt guilty for leaving him because I truly did have a good time with him and I truly wanted to stay, but Niall is hurting and he needs comfort. I scrambled back to his bedroom and put on my clothes in record timing. I slipped into my shoes and grabbed my wallet and keys from his bed stand. He was waiting by the front door and I leaned down and kissed him. He grabbed my sweater and pulled me closer to him, which was nearly impossible. We bumped noses and I giggled into his mouth.
“So I’ll be seeing you next weekend for a follow up date?” Louis asked with a cheeky smile.
I pecked his lips, “Definitely.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I nearly kicked down my bedroom door when Zayn told me were Niall was. He and Niall seemed to be the only ones up.
“Are you okay Niall?” I questioned as I looked him in the eyes.
He nodded and smiled weakly.
“I just felt like I need to explain what’s happening.” Niall began.
I nodded waiting for him to continue.
“Morgan had been acting really strange lately and I didn’t understand, I thought maybe she was just going through something and I thought it was something personal because if it was worse then she would’ve told me. It was so much worse..” he trailed off clutching the blanket on the bed.
“Harry, I watched her die right in front of me!” he shouted, tears streaming down his face.
“I didn’t know she was sick, she never told me. I didn’t know.” he kept chanting over and over.
I was shocked at this new information, I scooted closer to him and wrapped my arms around him. I was trying my hardest to give him the best comfort I could, but even I knew this would’nt help. The only way I could truly help him was by being there for him and helping him take the baby steps needed so he could stand by himself.
“I’m so sorry Ni.” I found myself crying with him.
“We had the funeral already. I don’t know how I’m going to explain to West about her mother.” He cried.
“I’m sure she’ll understand, she’ll be older after all.” I whispered.
“I’m going to leave Wednesday to get West and all of our stuff and I’m moving out of the house we lived in. My mum and brother are going to help me start a new life out here.” Niall rambled on.
“I don’t know if I’m ready to do this yet haz.” he mumbled into my chest.
“Whatever you do Niall, I will back you up one hundred percent.”
And it was true, I would do whatever it takes to get Niall happy again.
*L o u i s*
I couldn’t get Harry out of my mind, that boy was absolutely amazing. I just felt so right with Harry, like we were truly happy together, not just one of us. My phone began to ring and i answered it just to shut off the annoying tone.
“Hello?” I asked lazily.
“Louis I really need to talk to you.” her voice was desperate and pleading.
“Why Eleanor?” I spat.
“Please just come over.” she begged.
I proceeded to listen to her ramble on why she needed to see me. Absolutely none of it made sense.
“Fine.” I finally sighed into the receiver, feeling defeated.
This could either go really well, or really bad and I am kind of scared to find out.
