Way Of Life - H.S & N.H

All Together Now

....
Just a heads up before you read, I do a lot of time skips in this. Just so I'm not repeating myself and writing the same things over an over again. Because of this it may seem like time zones don't make any sense but this is a made-up fictional story so... anything goes in my eyes haha! Enjoy x
....

It was around 1am and the club was still heaving with bodies. Many were gathered on the dance floor, swishing and moving to the music. Others were lingering at the tables and booths that were scattered around the room, or they were at the bar.

"Niall! You want another one?" Shayla called out to the brunette, who was sat opposite her. Niall smirked, before nodding his head.

Shayla laughed and got up to grab more drinks. She'd already had quite a few and could feel the effects. This being said, she felt her feet give way underneath her and she landed with a thump, below the table.

Stunned, she stayed still for a moment before letting out a laugh. Niall was quick to check she was okay but joined in on the laughter soon enough.

"Shay! Fucking hell you okay?" Niall spluttered as he spoke between laughs. He continued to laugh, trying to haul the intoxicated girl up from the floor.

Both were now in fits of giggles, unable to do anything.
Just as the laughter filled the air, Heather had returned back to the booth.

"I can't find that fucking... Omg Shay! What happened?" Heather's voice had nothing but concern laced in it. She quickly lent down to help pull Shayla up from her spot on the floor.

Niall continued to laugh, clutching his stomach.

"Niall for gods sake, stop laughing and help me!" Heather was now laughing but trying to be the "mum" of the group, keeping us all in check.

"Hahahahah!" Niall's laugh was infectious. Once he started that was it.

"I'm fine. Honestly. Niall...stop laughing...I can't cope..." Shayla was now crying. Tears falling down her face from laughing so much.

"Wait... you can't find that fucking what?" Niall chimed. His chuckles had calmed down now.

"Harry. The idiot. He's gone walkabouts... again!"

"Hahah. He'll turn up. You know what he's like." Niall finished off the rest of his beer.

"I guess I'm getting the next round then. Since the last person to offer is sprawled out on the ground!" Niall smiled before heading off to the bar.

"I hate him." Heather chimed, but smiling fondly. She wasn't bothering to get Shayla up anymore. She seemed perfectly content on the floor. If she was hurt, the alcohol was masking it right now.

"Who'd you hate?" Harry's voice emerged from the side of the booth. His arms were full of different kinds of snacks.

"Harry! Where the fuck were you? And where did you get all of this?" Heather questioned. Seriously where did all of this food come from?!

Harry shrugged, throwing the snacks onto the table. He hadn't noticed Shayla sprawled out on the ground at first.

He smirked over at Heather, knowing she wasn't really angry just worried. She is the mum of the group after all.

"You're such a dick!" Heather replied, she couldn't help but smile at how cheeky he was being.

"Oi! You just gonna pretend I'm not here?!" Shayla threw her arms up for attention.

Harry had now plonked his body down on the seats and glanced down at Shayla on the floor. He laughed.

"Always a liability you are Shay!" he patted the top of her head. Letting his fingers brush through her roots.

"S'not my fault the floors are... slippy!"
Shayla was slurring her words a little.
Both Heather and Harry were laughing at how childish she seemed right now.

Just as their laughter died down. Niall sauntered over carrying a tray.

"I come bearing gifts! The girls at the bar paid for our drinks I tried to refuse but you know what fans can be like..." Niall shot a wink over to Heather and Shay. After all they were their biggest fans.

"And we got... FREE SHOTS!"

Shayla's ears perked up at the word shots.

"NIALL... YOU ARE MY NEW FAVOURITE!" she yelled, sticking her tongue out at Heather and Harry and then launched herself up from the floor and back onto the seat.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The group is back together!!" Niall cheered.
