They Don't Know About Us

You've Got That One Thing - Chapter 46

*NIALLS POV*

It was weird going to the concert tonight and not having Paige, standing there front row, looking up at me proudly, The odd tear falling down her face. But, since the accident she's been getting hardly any sleep and when I found her completely unconscious, it would've been selfish of me to even contemplate waking her up. So I didn't. My mistake. 

Paige informs me of tonight's dramatic events, front what Becky said about her to what she was accusing me of. I bow my tired head and finger her hands gently, rotating them in my own. "Nialler...please don't tell me you agree with her?" Paige asks pleadingly, her eyes surrounded with worry. I smile regrettably "I don't wanna lie to you babe but it is true. I should never have brought up the idea. If I didn't then none of this would of happened! I put my best friends, their girlfriends, my girlfriends and my child's life in danger! So tell me how this isn't all my fault!" I mumble quickly, as tears make there way down my cheeks, dripping onto my 5SOS band vest top. Now she smiles regrettably and her hand falls to stroking my cheek, her other hand fiddling with my hair. "You're so righteous my dear, loving leprechaun." She whispers before grabbing my face seriously "None of this was your fault! Becky's grieving, she'll come round eventually I can promise you that! Loosing your child must be the worst kind of pain on this god for Saken planet!" My blue orbs drop to her baby bump, which is now far from visible. "The thought breaks my heart!" I reply slowly before kissing her lips once more.

When we re-enter the private lounge; Shelby, Chloe, Beth, Liam, Louis, Harry, Zayn and Josh are relaxing effortlessly on the pair of bright red corner sofas. Paige looks up to me wholeheartedly, squeezes my hand and walks over towards her friends, sinking into a deep well detailed conversation. "Hey Nialler!" The all say simultaneously, which is quite scary. "Hey lads! Err Zayn, can I speak to you for a minute please mate?" I ask him honestly. He nods his head "Sure, mate." he replies slowly but surely. I walk him into a corner, a private place to talk. "Zayn, listen mate, I'm so sorry for the car accident! I..." He stops me mid sentence.

*ZAYNS POV*

I don't blame Niall for the car accident. I never did. I can see why Becky blames him and will always try to support her but in this case, she's wrong. Our child died because of some genius leaving a wrecked car in the middle of a busy road. Friggin' genius. I don't blame Niall. So, as he starts to apologise, I stop him almost immediately. "Niall, don't blame yourself! This wasn't your fault how many times do we have to tell you this?" I ask him rhetorically. "But Becky?" He replies, shaking his head. "She'll come round, we'll never forget the baby and I'll always love it but I need to concentrate on Becky and all of you guys! Okay?" I add soulfully, hoping this at least brings him slightly out of the whole guilty conscience phase. He just smiles and slams my shoulder carefully. "Thanks Zayn, you're a good person!" He says emotionally before walking over to Paige. That's the thing with our Niall, you can't stay mad at him forever.
