Chapter 22: Walls Have Ears.

[this chapter uses a few strong implicated words]

24th August 2015, Monday.

(You just sit in the cafeteria with Sara when..)

Sara: It was-

Niall: Hey. (Niall sits down in a hurried demeanor)

Jay: Hey? 

Sara: Hey Niall.

Niall: Hi. Umm Jay can we talk?

Jay: Sure.

Niall: ..Alone? (You confusingly look at Sara)

Sara: Oh? Uh sure.. I'll sit with the Cheer squad.. I'll come back later? Bye Jay, bye Niall.

Jay: Bye..

Niall: Bye Sara.. (she leaves you two alone..)

Jay: What's wrong?

Niall: First of all tell me did Bradley try something? Did he make you uncomfortable?

(You roll your eyes)

Jay: Niall we have talked about this, and no he didn't try anything and nor I was uncomfortable.

Niall: Good.

Jay: Will you stop doing that? Fretting over everything Bradley does? People change Niall. Give him a chance?

Niall: I'm sorry, it's just.. I have seen the worst side of him.

Jay: I know he has been mean to you, and you have every right to be cautious. I'm not telling you to be buddy-buddy with him.. Just.. act normal.

Niall: I-

Jay: Anyways, I'm concerned for you. Please tell me Lyra was acting normal in there.

Niall: About that.. (He comes close)

She.. knows.

Jay: ..Knows what?

Niall: About.. us.

Jay: What? What are you talking about?

Niall: Let me tell you…

So last night..

.

.

Yesterday.

{From Niall's Perspective}

(You just get locked in the closet with Lyra.)

Lyra: Ooh I like small spaces. (You sigh)

I guess you are not enjoying this?

Niall: Not very.

Lyra: Hmm, I can make it better. (She runs her hand through you collar)

Niall: No thank you. (You push her hand away)

And really? In a closet?

Lyra: You'd be surprised with what people can do in closets.. This.. Kiss, Hide.. Stay. But you know about that.

Niall: I'm sorry?

Lyra: Nothing. You sound so husky when you're so close.. (she comes closer to you and you smell a hint of alcohol)

Niall: Really? Alcohol? This is an alcohol free party, where did you even get that from?

Lyra: Kevin. (You roll your eyes)

Niall: You shouldn't really hang out with him, he's not that great of a guy you know?

Lyra: I know, but it shouldn't concern you.. unless you are my boyfriend.

Niall: You're right.

Lyra: I can give you the right to worry.

Niall: Thanks for the unwanted offer, my answer is No.

Lyra: Yeah right.. Why would you date a girl?

Niall: Uh What?

Lyra: Wow you're so oblivious. Summer camp.. last night.. rings a bell?

(Your mind wanders back to that night..

Jay in your arms, his lips against yours..

But you play dumb)

Niall: I have no- idea what you're talking about.

Lyra: A little birdy told me what you did last night. What you TWO did.

Niall: I- Who told you?

Lyra: My ears. After you rejected me I actually tried it once again.. looking back it was very desperate of me but, I came to your room.. and the only thing I could hear was..

(She starts moaning loudly)

OH NIALL! OH JA-

Niall: Shh! (You press your palm against her mouth)

What are you doing?!

Lyra: I know you two weren't that loud.. but I love to exaggerate.

Niall: You're a-

Lyra: Go on.. I'd love to hear you cuss with my name.

Niall: What's wrong with you? Why are you doing this?

Lyra: I don't owe you an explanation.

But I could explain to the school about the promiscuous thing you did on the school property.

Niall: That's just hypocrisy. You wanted to do the same?

Lyra: Fair. Or I could say to some of my friends that.. Niall is.. you know what the say *Gay*?.. But they won't say that in a nice way, you better get used to hearing Fa-

Niall: Stop.

Lyra: Words like these spread like wildfire honey. (You pinch the bridge of your nose)

Niall: I don't understand this- why do you care? What do you want?

Lyra: Right now I'm hella bored. Kiss me till this is over.

Niall: What? No..

Lyra: You really want me to tell everyone huh?

(You take a deep breath..)

Niall: Fine.. (You kiss her..)

. . .

(As soon as the door opens you leave as quickly as you can)

Lyra: Bye.. (You see Jay heading towards you in concern)

Jay: Niall? Are you-

Niall: I'll be back, I gotta throw up.

(You head towards the washroom..)

.

{Back to Jay's Perspective}

Niall: So yeah…

Jay: I-

Niall: I know don't freak out.. at least right now.

Jay: How could I not? (You place your head in your palms and take deep breaths)

Niall: Maybe we can fix this. At least I can.

Jay: What do you mean?

Niall: Maybe if I agree to date her.. She will not tell anyone?

Jay: First of all that's not an option, we are not doing that. Second of all, would she? I don't she would.

Niall: Then what do we do?

Jay: The only option is.. (you look where Lyra is sitting..)

Talking..

And we have to do it soon..
