Pretend

Chapter 9: Bands back together

"Ah shit!" You hear and look over to see Niall sitting up with his head in his hand. "Fuck it hurts."

"Well don't drink so much dick." You lightly smiled nudging two tablets and a glass of water over to him. Niall looked up at you wide eyed as you smiled over at him.

"(Y/N)!" He pushed back his blanket and leapt over the couch to you. You fell onto your elbows as Niall crushed his body against yours. His lips smothered kisses along your entire bone as you chuckled running a hand through your hair. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." You could only only shake your head.

"Don't be." Niall looked up at you before cringing and holding his forehead. "Drink." You sat you both up and handed him the tablets. He downed them and sculled his water, some contents sliding down to his neck.

Then suddenly stopping, he coughed loudly splatting water all over himself and the floor. His eyes grew teary as he choked in his own breathes.

Your hand came to his back and patted it while he struggled to regain breathe. Then leaning over, he vomited all over the floor making you shut your eyes and cringe.

Fuck. Carol and Cassie aren't going to be to happy about this.

"It's alright." You whispered rubbing his back as he panted, his shaky arms gripping the edge of the coffee table.

"(Y-Y/N)..." He whimpered leaning back and falling into your side. You eagerly took him in your embrace before grabbing the edge of the blanket and wiping his chin.

"I've got you." You whispered cuddling him and trying to keep him warm. He shivered against you as you ran a hand through his hair and kissed his temple. "God you're such an idiot." You mumbled as Niall snuggled against you. Taking comfort and protection from your collarbone where his face lay.

. . .

"Again, I'm really sorry about your lounge room floor. If I could have stopped it, I would have." Cassie nodded chewing away on her biscuit with the packet in her hand. Surprise, surprise.

"Ah, guess we can't prevent that." Caroline waved off downing the rest of her coffee.

"So, I best be off then." You awkwardly waved and slowly began your way towards towards the car outside where Liam had Niall. He was going to take you to his friends house that lived nearby and get Niall cleaned up.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on a second!" Caroline said as you blinked back wide eyed. "I'm getting my car back right?" You sighed in relief before nodding.

"Course. It's just at Niall mobile home."

"So if I go to the caravan park, it'll be there? Out the front?"

"Definitely." You nodded as Caroline nodded slightly at your confidence.

"Alright then. Take care yeah?"

"Don't do anything stupid!" Cassie called from the kitchen making you chuckle.

"I won't!" You gave Caroline a quick hug before making your way out to where Liam was leaning on his car, waiting. He smiled once he saw you and came straight to his feet.

"Ready?" He asked as you nodded coming to the back of the car.

"Guess so." You exchanged small smiles before you climbed into the backseat beside Niall. He looked tired and ill. Bags under his eyes and his silence telling you he felt a lot better than he did last night.

His gaze then tore over to you before he turned and pulled you into his arms. Yours wrapped around his neck and hid his face against you. Niall tugged you close and moved so he could now rest his chin on your head.
