My phone goes off in the other room. I don't move to go pick it up. I'm deep in thought, thinking about how I feel, trying to sort it all out. I hear the loud 'ping' noise, signaling a text, but the only thing that runs through my mind is: Why?
Why does my heart race when I think of her? Why does my breath stop for a second when I see her? Why does her smile draw me in? Why does her laugh make me grin? Why do her eyes cause me to focus on nothing but them? Why do I want to hug her, hold her, kiss her, and love her? Why do I want to show her off? Why do I want to write songs about her and sing them to her late at night? Why do I want to call her mine?
"Hey, Melody is calling you, Niall! I'm going to answer it!" Louis' voice shouts.
A minute passes and Louis comes rushing in, slamming my phone into my hands. I see the panic in his features and I press the phone to my ear.
"Hello? Melody?" I speak quickly, keeping my eyes on Louis as I talk to keep myself calm
"Ni-Niall!" She sobs. I stand, just from shock, and the chair falls behind me.
"What's going on? Are you hurt?" I keep my tone steady but I'm louder.
"No... it's my mum" She cries
"What? What about her? Mel, what's-"
"She got in a car wreck. She's in the hospital. She's.." her voice breaks off again and my heart sinks to my stomach.
"I'm so sorry" I whisper
"I didn't know who to call. I-I... Am I bothering you? Are you bu-busy?" She asks
I feel immediate guilt. She thinks she's bothering me? Hell no.
"Love, If I were in the middle of my part in Midnight Memories on stage in front of thousands and you called, I'd drop my mic and answer you immediately" I tell her
I see Louis' bright smile at my words. I turn away from him, hiding my reddening cheeks, and continue talking to Melody.
We ended up being on the phone for 3 hours before we were interrupted by Harry coming into my small room. I had mumbled a quick "hold up" into the phone then looked at Harry.
"Food's in." Harry tells me. I shake my head 'no' and he frowns. I mute my phone, So Melody can't hear, and I say "I'm just busy. Save me something"
"You never turn down food. Is she okay?" He presses on
"Her mum's hurt and I... I can't be there for her in person... So I'm doing every damn thing I can to be there for her" I confess
He only nods then comes over to the bed, leaning down to give me an awkwardly positioned hug, but it made me feel better, always does.
"Thanks, Harry. Just save me some food."
"I'll bring you some. Be right back" He says before skipping out of the room
