More Than This : Chapter 30 : It's So Wrong, But it Felt so Right

Author's Note : Okay, so people had been bashing me that Red Bull is an energy drink which meant the characters can't be woozy and everything. Well, let me explain it to you guys. The Red Bull that I was refering to in this story isn't the energy drink that all of us know. The Red Bull I was referring to is The Red Bull malt liquor. Go and search it on google. I'm really sorry guys for not clarifying and for not being specific on what type of beverage they were drinking.

Ariana's POV

“Okay, now let us celebrate!” Frankie said, opening a bottle of wine. He passed it on to the Josh, who passed it to Alex, passing it around to everyone. Once all of us had wine in our glasses, we made a toast for the success of ending the shoot for the music video. We laughed for hours, talking about how we messed up on the shoot.

After we celebrate, we put our glasses on the sink, leaving the cleaning of it to the housekeeper that Frankie hired, which will be coming by tomorrow morning.

Everyone went up to their rooms after our little celebration, because the day had been really exhausting for us. I was planning to go up as well, when I feel like sitting down in the couch for a while. I had to admit, the wine got me a little bit dizzy, so I just needed some time for it to fade away.

While I sat down, I felt my eyes drop as time passed by. In about a couple more minutes, my sight blacked out and I was unconscious.

Zayn's POV

After we finished 5 bottles of wine, the lads and the others went straight to their rooms and went to sleep, while I on the other hand wasn't that much contented. The wine we drank was really good. It would have to be the most delicious wine I've ever had, but it didn't have that much effect on me, same as Niall. So after we saw the others go up, we went to the fridge and took cans of Red Bull. Don't think that we are drunkards, because we're really not. We just felt like drinking, because we were really happy with what we accomplished today on the shoot.

Once we got the cans we went to Niall's room and drank there as we talked about how the day went for us. Mostly everything that came out from Niall's mouth was about Ariana. I couldn't blame him, because she really is something. He kept on blabbing about their kiss on the set earlier. He said that this would have to be the happiest day of his life.

A few hours passed and I already finished about 8 cans of Red Bull. Finishing my 9th can, I already started to feel the alcohol have its effect on me. The surroundings I'm seeing was blurry, my head was throbbing, I couldn't control myself and I felt like puking.

With all the strength I have left, I went out of Niall's room and made my way downstairs so I could puke in the bathroom. As I made my way downstairs, my vision showed nothing but abstract - complicated images. Not seeing anything, I felt myself lose my balance, making me fall down the stairs.

Ariana's POV

I woke up on a loud noise coming from the stairs. I quickly stood up and checked out what it was all about. Once I got to the stairs, I saw Zayn on the floor at end of the stairs unconscious. I sat down beside him and tapped his face. At first he wasn't responding, so I placed my head on his chest, checking if his heartbeat was normal. Once I heard it, it sounded quite normal to me. So I proceeded on tapping his face, while calling out his name this time. In a about a few minutes, he started opening his eyes slowly. He put his right hand to my face, while he held the other one. The next thing he did shocked me, because I didn't expect it.

Zayn's POV

I was awaken by a familiar voice and someone tapping my face lightly. It felt really nice and soothing and I don't know why. Once I got to open my eyes, I saw the most beautiful girl. Her red hair was illuminated with light, had pink lips like a rose and she was blushing.

It was Ariana.

It felt like I was in a dream. She looked so perfect – so beautiful. I looked at her lips, those lips that Niall told me about. Those lips that were soft and just so perfect. Remembering how Niall explained his kiss with her, gave me an urge to kiss her.

True, what I'm thinking is wrong, but this is just a dream right?

So I placed my right hand to her face, gliding it on her soft cheeks, while I placed my hand on hers, holding it like there's no tomorrow. I rose up a little bit, adjusting myself and once I got to look at her clearly, I planted a gentle kiss on her lips. At first, I thought she wasn't going to respond, but in a few seconds she did. It felt good and it felt so real. It wasn't the kind of kiss that Perri and I do, because unlike Perri, Ariana's response to my kiss was sweet – gentle, with something else that I couldn't explain. It felt like there was – compassion.

Niall's POV

I woke up with a sound of a thug from downstairs, making me want to check it out. I looked at the clock and saw that it was already 1:41 A.M. I stretched a little bit and walked out of my room. As I made my way downstairs, I saw two people at the end. Looking like they were kissing. From a second I thought I saw Zayn and Ariana kissing. So I scratched my eyes, just so that I could make sure that I wasn't hallucinating. Turned out that what I saw wasn't some kind of illusion.

It was real.

Zayn and Ariana was kissing each other.

Ariana's POV

I do not know if this is just a dream, because if it was, I do not ever want to wake up. Zayn's was gentle and sweet, not like my past boyfriends. His kissed me like I was fragile and vulnerable – his kissed me with respect. I was so into the moment that I didn't get to notice someone pull him off of me. Once I opened my eyes, I saw my best bud –

Niall

He was in rage and was pinning Zayn down on the floor, punching his face. I didn't know what to do, so I did the first thing that came up into my mind.

I screamed for help

In a few minutes, the guys went down from upstairs, taking Niall off Zayn. I had no idea why he did that. It was so not Niall. I looked at him in concern, but in return he flashed a deadly glare on me and started to weep after. He rushed upstairs, without saying anything. I wanted to go after him, but I do not even know what the problem was. So I stayed there and looked at Zayn. He passed out after Niall beat him up. I went to him and the guys asked what happened. I replied, telling them that I had no idea what was wrong. So they just let it pass for the night and helped Zayn go to his room. We helped each other on putting ice and ointment on Zayn's bruised face. Once were done, we went to our respective rooms.

When I was inside my room, I lie down straight to my bedroom and stared on the ceiling.

Is all of this real? I asked myself.

Well, I'll be able to find that out tomorrow

So I closed my eyes, drifting to sleep.
