I stir a bit in my sleep before being shaken awake by a confused Niall. 


"Why are you in my room?" His irish accent makes me giggle slightly. 


"I wanted to get away from Louis but you were asleep so Paddy let me in and I guess I fell asleep on the couch..." I mumble, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. 


"Get away from Louis? Why?" He asks worriedly. 


"He cheated on me," I whisper, my voice cracking mid-sentence as yet another tear threatens to slip. 


"What?!" Niall gapes. 


"I know... He tried to sleep with me and I eventually got him to stop after he hit me and then he said stuff about a girl at the club and then we argued and now I don't know what to do..." I reply, tears sliding down my cheeks. 


Niall pulls me into a comforting embrace and rubs my back, his head buried in the crook of my neck like all his 'Horan hugs'. He wipes away my tears and tucks my hair behind my ear. 


"Come on, let's go see what the others are up to," He says cheerfully, trying to lighten the mood.


I giggle, biting my lip as he pulls me up and we head out to the hallway. 


"There you guys are!" Liam exclaims, his expression changing after he does a double take at my expression. 


I wipe away a lone tear a moment before Liam asks, "What's wron-" but being cut off by Louis' door opening. 


He comes out and I look away, anger boiling beneath my skin. 


He looks at me with a confused expression as I try my hardest to stop glaring at him. 


"Nothing's wrong, Liam, I'm fine. Let's just go," I snap, storming towards the lifts. 


A loud noise followed by Louis' shriek makes me spin around. 


"Why the hell did you punch me, Niall?!" He screams. 


I gasp, running back over to them. 


"Niall!" I scold. 


"What? I did it for you!" He defends. 


"I know, that part was obvious, but really?!" I roll my eyes. 


"What's going on?" Harry questions. Niall glares intently at Louis. 


"This motherfucker came back to the hotel drunk off his ass after cheating on her!" Niall growls, raising his voice. 


Louis' mouth parts as he looks at me to see the tears again making their voyage across my face.
