Will you Stay?

Chapter 42

// Anna's POv\\

I flattened my pillow once more and rested my head on it. Eve and Audrey came back into the dorm but continued to get ready for the party. Not asking me any questions; and honestly? I was thankful for that, yet I still couldn't sleep. I turned on my back and let out a frustrated sigh, hitting the sheets. 'Why can't I sleep?'

I turned my head to the side to see the fluffy bear Niall got me and grabbed it, placing it at eye level so I could examine it and it hit me. I need Niall.

'I've been sleeping next to him for the past couple of days and I guess I had gotten used to it.' I let out a growl on how girly I became and hugged the bear.

I turned back on my side and just let my thoughts run about Niall, something that's been happening many times I've noticed. I realize how cold I am without him here and how much I love his scent and his kisses on my forehead before we dose off.

I shook my head, 'I won't get any sleep'. I scrambled the sheets off of me and shuffled into the kitchen, my body obviously feeling worn out but my mind was racing. I went to the fringe and pulled out the milk and any other items for a hot chocolate.

As it was warming in the microwave I heard a slight buzz from my room, and I knew it was my phone. I looked up at the kitchen clock; 1:29 am 'Who would ring at this time?'

I quickly made my way into the room and grabbed my phone to see it was...Niall. My mouth gaped, i swear he can read my mind. I quickly answered the call before the last ring.

"Hello" I squeaked, mentally faces palming myself. "Hey" I heard his tired voice on the line, sounds like he isn't getting any sleep either. "You awake?" he asked. I giggled "No, I'm asleep". He let out a small chuckle before it went silent.

I breathed out "Umm... Why did you call?" I ask trying not to be rude. "I...ahh..Just wanted to hear your voice... I guess" he whispered. I smiled and was about to reply before he spoke again "And to tell you I'm freezing cold, because we never put the sheets on my bed" he chuckled.

This time I really face palmed myself "Oh Niall... I'm sorry...I forgot" I said truthfully. "It's fine, you had a long night. But if I get sick you have to take care of me" I could feel his smile through the phone, "Seems fair" I agreed.

I heard the microwave beep and walked to it "You making hot chocolate?" he asked. "umm... How did you know?" I ask, stirring the milky chocolate. "I told you Anna, I know you by now" he said deeply. It made my skin crawl but then again warmed my heart.

I now knew he wanted one "Well I have chocolate for another one, if you care to join me?"

"I'm on my way" was the last thing I heard before he hung up. I found myself smiled down at the end call knowing his coming over. I'm really falling hard.

I heard a knock at the door and walked over to it, carrying the mug of hot chocolate. I opened it and there he was; tired eyes, long track pants, a random long sleave top covered by a woolly coat. His hair was a mess and his teeth were chattering, yet he still looked good.

I smiled warmly before opening the door wider and handing him the mug. He gracefully took it but not skipping a beat to give me a small kiss. "I needed that" he admits.

I blush, shutting the door and turned back to him. I was still mad at him and still confused about the situation but right now I wanted him with me.

"Don't think about what happened?" he pleaded, sitting on my bed. I take a few steps forward, till I was in front of him, I ran my fingers through his messy hair, feeling a relief that I can touch him "I just want to know why?"

He sighed, "I can't tell you why" I exhaled through my nose, sharply, I was never a patient person "And why not?"

He ignored me, turning his head to the side and taking a sip of his mug. I pulled my hand back in defeat and grabbed my mug from the night stand, sitting on the opposite side of the bed, lifting my feet up.

We finished our hot chocolate in silence; Niall obviously finished first and spent his time looking at me while I looked at my lap.

I felt Niall shuffled next to me and grab my mug placing it back on the table and grabbing my wrists "Please don't be upset with me" he whispered, coming closer to me.

I turned my head to the side as I felt Niall position me, on my back so my head was on the pillow and his body lying next to me. I still looked away but he tugged me into his chest, tightening around me.

I felt him take in long heavy breaths "I promise I will tell you... Just not now...Okay?"

I nodded, buddling my cold hands in the warmth of his chest. I shut my eyes, hopefully now getting some sleep.
