         it was thursday, four days since i had sheltered a complete lunatic whom had later bolted off impeccably unexpected with my shoes. Not much interesting had occurred after that. When the boys had asked where I had been that night the next day, I didn't want them to tell me the same things Scotty had so I just lied and said I had gotten shitfaceted and crashed at a bar.  They believed it well enough. Currently Liam, Harry and I were waiting in our hotel room for Zayn ( a/n: ;(((( ) and Louis to arrive back from the Chinese place across the street.

All three of us skimmed our phones in silence until a very boisterous Louis bursts through the doors while Zayn sheepishly tagged behind him struggling to carry several plastic bags filled with our dinner. "Well boys dinner is served," the Doncaster boy bellowed throwing himself into a love seat leaving Zayn to fend for himself with the heap of food. All of us quickly helped him out though as we all dug in grabbing our claim. I made away with takeout boxes of orange chicken and chow mien.

We all sat in circle formation chewing down on our Asian delicacies. "Fans out there are crazy right now bro. They're all crashing the night outside. Unbelievable," Zayn muttered twirling his noodles with his chopsticks. The other boys and myself nodded in agreement. Our fans were dedicated I'd tell you that. And although it enlightened me to know they cared so much, I sometimes wished they would just respect our space and privacy every once in a while. You know take our well being into consideration.

"So Nialler, you never did tell us exactly what happened the night you crashed at the bar," Liam said through a mouthful of food being reminded of my disappearance a few nights ago at Zayns mention of the fans crashing the night outside the hotel, trying to start up a conversation. I tried to continue to eat my orange chicken nonchalantly like what he was referring to was a totally bullshit lie I had made up. "Oh it was nothing. Not important really. I mean, just had a lot to drink took the girl home-," I stopped dead in my sentence. I had slipped up.

I had gotten my fake story mixed up with my real story. The boys eyes all widened cheekily. "Wow. What a shocker," Louis deadpanned. I raised an eyebrow. He better not be starting with this again. "Oh come on Niall. It's so typical of you to sleep with random girls. When will you settle down and start a real adult relationship," he continued. Oh god, he was starting with this again. The boys always accused me of not being able to maintain a real steady relationship. I mean sure I had my handful of hookups but just because i hadn't found the right girl for me didn't mean I was a fuckboy.

"I mean Niall don't look so hurt. All of us have had real meaningful mature relationships except you. It's practically impossible for you to have a serious relationship. You couldn't handle it," Liam shrugged like he and the other boys weren't telling me they didn't believe I could ever had a serious girlfriend. "That's ridiculous. What do you mean I couldn't handle a serious relationship," I spat setting my food down because this conversation really had taken a turn.

"Niall buddy. We aren't trying to insult you. It just, you havent had a girlfriend since the X factor. You've fucked off and on with girls but you haven't had a real relationship in years. We just- it's practically inevitable that you won't have anything serious like we have. You havent had a serious girlfriend and we doubt you'd find a real catch," Liam explained. This infuriated me. The boys were constantly bashing me about stuff like this. I was so tired of them not believing in me. Like how was it my fault I couldn't find a girl who I was in love with. I hated it.

I hated them treating me like I would just be this fuckboy my whole life. And I know, I know it and been a while since I had dated and I knew that they were making some pretty valid points. But still, I was mad. Mad that they told me it was practically impossible for me to get a real girlfriend and have a mature adult relationship. It made me so mad that I don't know what came over me but I felt the need to put an end of this harassment because I was just so tired of it and defend myself.

And the words came out before I could stop myself. "Well jokes on all of you because I actually have a girlfriend. But it's reasons like this why I never told you," I snapped folding my arms. I don't know why I was lying about something so untrue but I just felt the need to defend myself. All the boys looked at one another before bursting into a fit of laughter. "Oh realllyyy Nialler. If that's the case then what is her name," Louis asked raising an eyebrow. Oh shit. I needed to think quick because if I hesitated then they would know for sure I was lying.

And when I started lying the rest of it just came out because I couldn't stop myself I was offended by their thoughts. So in regards to Louis's question I just blurted the first name that popped into my head without thinking. I was just so fed up with their comments that I lied to try and prove them wrong and before I even realised what I was saying I just spat out the first person to come to mind... "Delilah."

(( what the fuck was this idk. but invade you're confused basically the boys constantly ridicule niall about not ever being able to have a real relationship so niall finally gets fed up and lies to prove them wrong and gets himself in deep shit ! so yeah that's pretty much all this chapter was trying to show. and in regards to the pov if the top says "DELILAH N NIALL" the chapter will be in third person but if it's only niall or deliliah's name then it's in first person !! ))
