FEAR [n.h]

11.

Madison's POV.

After a few minutes of staring at Niall I finally went upstairs to try and relax, so I decided to take a shower in an attempt of using the warm water as a way of releasing all that negative energy and anxiousness that I was feeling in my body.

And indeed, the shower did work, but not as much as I would have liked, because I still felt that pain on my chest, that tornado in my stomach that was a sign of the anxiety I was feeling. I took a few deep breaths while staring at myself in the mirror just after I stepped out of the shower, and as soon as I felt ready I went straight to the closet to put on another pair of sweatpants, black this time, and another hoodie. God, I miss dressing up and going out so much.

Once I was all dressed, I went into the bathroom to brush my hair and wash my face, thinking of something to watch on my laptop once I was done, and I ended up convincing myself that the only thing that could make me disconnect at that moment was my comfort show: Grey's Anatomy. The show was filled with drama, and it made me relieved to see such extreme things going on there, plus I loved the actors and actresses, and the plot.

On my way to the bed, I turned my head to look to the garden, seeing that Niall was no longer standing there, and suddenly someone knocked on my door, a gesture that made me almost have a heart attack as I was distracted by the thought of Niall's whereabouts.

"Maddie, it's Louis." I breathed in relief when I heard him, walking to the bed while telling him to come in. "I just came to see how you were, Harry told me you didn't eat anything." He said, looking at me with a weird look on his face like he was worried or something. "You alright?"

"Yes, don't worry about it." I said while trying to fake my best smile, and he nodded while he stayed glued to the floor, just a few steps into the room like he didn't want to come closer so I probably wouldn't feel scared or something.

"Good, that's good." He said. "The boys and I are gonna watch a movie, if you want to join us you know where to find us, kiddo."

"Thanks, Louis, maybe I'll join in a while."

Louis smiled at my response and left the room closing the door, leaving me there, sitting on the bed. After a few seconds of basically staring at the white wall, I grabbed my computer, laying down on the bed, and covering myself almost entirely with the blankets, falling asleep not long after I pressed play.

Niall's POV.

After the guys tried to lecture me and act like they were my parents I went to the garden to try and forget about everything, but of course, it did not work, so right after I finished my cigarette I tossed it into the grass, stepping on it so I could go to my room and get dressed to go do the only thing I could think of that was going to help me forget: party.

I started walking to the stairs and came across the boys, who were sitting in the living room talking, without even flinching when I came in. I took a deep breath and walk up the stairs, going into my room and heading straight to the shower.

Once I was done showering, I opened the closet, taking the first black shirt I saw and one of my black jeans out and throwing it on quickly, then taking a look in the bathroom's mirror to fix my hair a little and put deodorant and cologne. When I was ready, I took a glance at myself in the mirror, turning back to get my things from my desk so I could finally leave this hell house.

Once I got everything I needed I stepped out of my room, closing the door after me and walking down the stairs. Once got to the front door I grabbed my black leather jacket from the hanger that was next to the door, putting it on.

"Where the hell are you going now?" Louis suddenly said from behind me, making me turn to look at him while I adjusted my jacket.

"I'm going to the club to get waisted and probably high, wanna come?" I said while looking at him, who just rolled his eyes at me, and a second after the other three appeared, standing by Louis' side and staring at me.
