Between The Lines

Chapter 29

“What the hell just happened?” I whispered, shocked. 

“Did he just..Leave the band?” Liam looked to us all, his chest rising and falling rapidly. 

“No..He couldnt have..” Harry replied, although he sounded unsure.

“Is anyone going to go talk to him?” Brianna asked. We were all still confused.

“Not going to be me.” Niall sighed, looking to Zayn.

“Me and Brianna can go.”

“I’ll come.” Harry said, Julia grabbing his hand. 

Liam’s phone buzzed, and he said he had to go, Danielle was calling him. 

Everyone walked out one by one, closing the door behind them. I looked to Niall. 

“This is all my fault.” Niall said, banging his head down on the table, “I just ruined my career, and the rest of the boys career and..” 

“Niall, its not your fault.” I rubbed his back, trying to calm him down. 

“Yes it is Kristen!” he suddenly flew out of his chair, standing up. Frustrated tears poured out of his eyes as his chest heaved up and down, “Its always my fault! I broke the damn band up! Its over! Everything is just falling apart around me! I feel like everything I do bothers someone one way or another! And im sick of always being the damn problem around here! I hate it! I HATE IT!” He yelled. I was just staring at him, and he fell to his knees, sobbing.

I quickly held him in my arms as he cried into my shoulder. 

“Im sorry..” He said after awhile of crying. 

“Its okay Niall..Its never your fault, ok? Lou is just a huge jerk.”

“I know.” He sniffed adorably. I kissed his cheek and he turned his head, so instead I kissed his lips. He pushed himself up more so the kiss deepened. 

“I love you so much..” He whispered before rejoining our lips, picking me up and carrying me to his room as my hands pulled on his hair slightly. He slowly put me on the bed. 

Suddenly, he moved away really fast and sneezed. I starting laughing as he looked at me. He started laughing before climbing back into our bed and going under the sheets. 

“Im so tired.” 

“Well, tomorrow is your first concert, right? Or is that in two days?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Ah, so you should sleep.”

“Can you make me a tea first?” He pouted, and I rolled my eyes, “Please?” He widened his blue eyes, and I shook my head.

“Anything for you.” I said, getting up to go make his tea. 

“Wait.” He stopped me, kissing my lips one last time before I left. 

He was already asleep by the time I came back with his tea. I drank it instead, only having to add a little more honey. I laid down next to him, staring at his peaceful face as his eyes fluttered. 

I closed my eyes, everything going dark as I heard a slight creak.

The rain pelted on the window late at night, making me wake up from the sudden light flashing across the room, then the roar of the thunder. I sat up, in a cold sweat, breathing fast. I looked to my side, Niall wasnt there. And the room was different. The duvet was white, not blue. The pillow, only one, and I was on a single bed. I got up, noticing my PJ’s were different. I opened the door, noticing I was also in a different house.
