Lonely Road

Chapter 2: The Party

"1,2,3,GO!" Louis yelled as we all took our fourth shot. The music was getting louder and room looked all wobbly, but I continued to drink. My head was swimming with a thousand thoughts so I planned on getting completely wasted. Liam walked over towards my side and leaned on my shoulder, already quite drunk.

"Niallerrrr" He slurred. I don't know if it's the alcohol or his incredibly attractive smirk, but I found myself getting turned on by Liam.

"Yeah?" I asked, turning so I didn't do something stupid.

"Niall" Liam said more serious this time. I turn to find him inches away from my face. "Let's play truth or dare!"

I mentally sighed, relieved he couldn't hear my heart beating faster.

"Ok I'll go first!" Zayn said excitedly. He scanned the small crowd for a victim with a smirk on his face.

"Harry, Truth or Dare?"

Harry thought about it for a moment before stating dare and I sorta zoned out, solely focusing on Liam's soft pink lips. I had drunken way too much to feel any self control now. I watched as he gasped at certain people's dare as such, craving just a single kiss. I was so focused I didn't hear Louis until he threw a shoe at my head.

"Hey! What the hell Lou?!" I rubbed my forehead and grimaced at Louis' satisfied smirk.

"I said, Truth or Dare Niall!

"Trare....?" I said absentmindedly.

"What the hell Niall. You know w-what you get darrrrrreeee." Louis says trying to not fall over. It was really funny.

"Fine, dare it is."

"I dare you to kiss Liam for as long as possible."

I froze.

He did not..

Liam had his head down, his cheeks turning redder by the moment.

"Come on Nialler, it's a dare! You have to do it!" Harry stated. I hate him right now. Stupid Louis. All I was trying to do was figure out these weird feelings about Liam and now there's this! These people are out to get me aren't they. I know they are.

"Do it, do it, do it!" Everyone around us chanted.

"Oh fuck it." I murmured attaching my lips to his. Our lips moved perfectly in sync like no others would have. Perfect amount of force and an unimaginable amount of passion anyone could ever feel. My hands tangled into his hair causing him to moan lightly. I could feel my heart racing as his hands ran up my stomach. But then the worst happened.

He pushed me away.

"What the hell Niall?! Why would you do that, you dumb ass!" Liam yelled and my heart broke. I could feel tears stinging my eyes but they quickly went a away leaving only anger behind.

"It was a dare, Liam. Back off." I said through gritted teeth as he fumed. I saw him raise a hand and I instantly flinched. He only reached poked my chest but I accidentally reacted and crushed hand.

He winced in pain a pulled his hand to his chest. Harry and Zayn stood gaping, as well as the other people around us. My cheeks were heating up I realized what just happened.

Shit.

I. Kissed. Liam.

"Oh my god, Liam I am so sorry! I'm so drunk right now. I can't believe i just did that! I mean you JUST broke up with Danielle-" I covered my mouth and everyone gasped, looking to Liam. Oh no.

His mouth was hanging open and he looked hurt. I knew this was gonna be all over the press tomorrow and Dani hates the lime light. I might have ruined their whole relationship.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY THAT NIALL?! I thought you were my best friend so I trusted you!" Tears filled his brown eyes.

"Liam, I'm so sorry! PLEASE! I swear it was an accident!" I pleaded as. Liam turned around.

"No, you just don't get it! Danielle told me I tell you too much! She broke it off because I told you all my secrets and not HER!" He shouted at me. I felt a tear slip down my cheek, ashamed of what I'd done.

"Whatever. It's not like you even loved her." I said quietly so only I could hear. But I guess I talk quite loudly.

"What?! YOU, think I don't love her? And why is that?!" He pulled my shirt so I was in his face.

"Because, you can't stand a cheater. And you know what? I DON'T BLAME HER!" I yelled in his face.

Liam turned red with anger and pushed me off him. I smirked at him as he just looked at me. But then I felt it.

His hand collided with my jaw, sending me flying backwards. I crashed into the ground and pain spread through my back.

"FUCK YOU NIALL! I hate you, you stupid asshole!" Liam screamed at me.

I struggled to scramble to my feet and faced him. I ran forward and slammed his body against a table. Louis tried to pull me off as I punched Liam's nose but I sent him tumbling backwards into Harry.

"Louis! THIS IS ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT!" I shoved him back as he tried to calm me down. "No! Get away from me!"

"How is this Louis' fault?! YOU are the one who said all that stuff about Li!" Harry yelled, trying to sound sober.

"Back off Harry! You think you're so smart and level headed! Just leave me alone!" I turned and ran for the doors. My eyes filled with tears and I tried to make it through the crowd when someone yanked my arm. I turn my head to meet Liam's fist and I fell backward again.

Zayn stepped in and grabbed Liam before he could punch me again but Liam ended punching him square in the nose. Blood trickled out and Zayn gasped. I went to his side and Liam shoved me away.

"Just go Niall! I never want to see your face again!" Liam hissed at me. Zayn squirmed out of Liam's grip and yanked my arm, pulling me out the door.

Paparazzi went crazy taking pictures as we fought our way through the crowd.

"MR. HORAN! Can you tell us what happened?!" A woman yelled at me.

"Liam is a fucking dick that's what." I said right as we reached the car.

I plopped down on the seat and Zayn slid in as well.

"The hotel please." Zayn said to our driver. I could feel his eyes burning into me.

"Spit it out Zayn." I said after 5 minutes of painful silence.

"I'm not blind ya know. I saw the pleasure in your face." He said slurred.

Pleasure in my face?

Before Zayn could continue his lecturing he passed out in the taxi. I sighed and laid my head down on the door. So many thoughts ran through my intoxicated mind. The love of my life just told me he never wanted to see my face again. For fucks sake, I know what I said was wrong but it was an accident and I didn't mean those things.

We got in the hotel and I cried myself to sleep. Everything I said and did, I regretted. EVERYTHING! I was drunk and couldn't control my emotions or the things that came out of my mouth.

"NIALL GET YOUR ASS UP YOU LITTLE PRICK! LIAM IS GONE!" Zayn shouted in my ear while shaking me out of my sleep. The blinding lights shone through the window and my head was pounding fiercely.

"What do you mean Liam's gone? Where did he go?" I mumbled with sleep evident in my voice.

"I don't know but he said 'Boys, I can't handle the pressure right now. I will get in contact soon, but for now, I'm leaving the band. I love you all and don't you forget it. I just need this for a little while. Goodbye - Liam.'"
