Infinity

Chapter 21

Two months has passed since Niall and the boys had to start working on a new album. I got to go to the studio with them sometimes but most days I was left in my room wishing for Niall to be there with me.

I pulled open my laptop and got onto the internet. I checked my Facebook, blown up with newsfeed and friend requests, and Twitter, same. I left it open as I decided to do my nails. I applied some black nail polish and waited for them to dry before I added a clear coat.

I smiled to myself as I looked at them. I waited for my phone to ring or my laptop to ding to tell me I got a message from Niall but nothing happened. I rolled over and faced my laptop screen. Watching the screen do nothing, I drifted off to sleep.

Waking up later, the sun was lower in the sky and cast an eerie glow across my bedroom. At first glance, I thought someone was standing in the corner of my room but taking a second look, I realized it was just my coat hanging off my dresser corner.

I looked at my screen and it took me another moment to realize that Niall was on it. I smiled, thinking it was a photo but soon realized that it was actually Niall, sitting in a room with guitars hanging on the wall behind him and Louis and Liam were barely visible on a couch next to Niall.

"Niall." I said, sitting up in bed and stretching.

"Carra. You are so cute when you sleep." He said.

"How's the recording going?" I asked.

"It's going ok, we've got a few songs done and we are working on some more. I was wondering if you wanted to come with us tomorrow?" Niall asked.

"Yeah, I would love to!" I said.

"Niall! Break's over, we gotta get back to work." Harry said from somewhere in the room Niall was in.

"OK." Niall replied. "I've gotta go."

"OK, bye." I said. The line went dead and my screen went back to Facebook.

God, I miss holding him.

Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough. Niall climbed through my window sometime after they got home, being quiet so my mom wouldn't find out. He curled up in bed with me and wrapped his arms around me. I turned to face him.

"I miss you." I said.

"I miss you to." he told me. I kissed him softly and then laid my head in his chest, falling asleep to his breathing and heart beat and waking up to it too.

The morning sun had set a soft glow to Niall's face as he looked down at me, sleep scribbled across his features.

"Morning beautiful." he said to me, his voice low and scratchy.

"Um. It's Saturday, let's go back to sleep." I said after glancing at the clock.

"I'm sorry babe, but we can't. We are going to the studio today. Remember, you're coming with us."

"Oh, yeah. Ok, well, I'll go get ready, you, um, try to sneak out of here without getting caught." I said as I rolled off the bed.

"You know I will." Niall said.

"Niall." I said after we had both gotten off the bed. He came over and wrapped himself around me.

"Yes?"

"I love you." I said, looking up at him.

"I love you." he said back before kissing me.

I got dressed quickly and didn't bother to brush my hair but I pulled it into a messy french braid and applied a light layer of eyeliner and mascara. I put on some lip gloss and then looked myself over in the mirror. I was wearing my white 5SOS tank top and blue galaxy leggings. I pulled on my Uggs brown heels and then grabbed my treble clef necklace, a bracelet, and my teal backpack.
