Falling For Styles {Niall Horan}

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen 

-Harry-

After scrolling through my twitter mentions for a good half an hour after that call with Lilah, I couldn’t take it! People were being such assholes to my sister! They don’t know about the things I did to protect her from all of this. They don’t know how I tried to keep her away from the limelight and having people take her picture 24/7. I knew I was doing the right thing then but now, because of Lou yet again, I have to fix this. I mean I love him like a brother, but he really needs to start thinking about what to say or how you say it before it comes out. He needs to be more careful with… everything.

GROUP TEXT; Niall, Louis, Liam, Zayn, Harry, Lilah: We need to fix this. I say a twitcam. Where should we do it if you all are into it?

She was right, we did need to fix this. A twitcam would be perfect! The fans might think it’s a little sketchy after the whole incident earlier but hopefully they’ll watch. I think today’s when we need to get it all out. No more secrets. Management is going to kill us for this but what can they say if we’re already in the middle of our twitcam? Exactly, nothing!

GROUP TEXT; Niall, Louis, Liam, Zayn, Lilah, Harry: Good plan! Meet at my place in a half hour. EVERYONE come.

That should give me enough time to at least calm twitter down and get the word out about the twitcam. I still can’t believe that Lou started this! I mean I’m not going to go all ‘brother protection time’ on Lilah anymore. I know now that she’s a lot stronger than she’s put out to be. She can handle being hurt a lot better because nobody hurt her more than Louis did. That was my entire fault.

I heard a knock at the door which was weird. It’s only been like ten minutes of scrolling through my feed on twitter so I doubt it’d be any of the lads or Lilah. I sit up from my seat on the couch and walk over to the door. I swing the door open to see the lads except Louis and Lilah. I looked at them in utter confusion.

“You know I said half an hour right?” I ask as they all take their usual spots on the couch. They all look at me but don’t say a word. I move my hands to say ‘explain.’ Niall looks at all of them as they look back at him. It’s like he’s asking them if it’s okay to tell a secret. What secret would they need to tell? Especially tell me?

Niall took a deep sigh removing his eyes from them and onto me now. He looked hurt. What happened? What am I not seeing here? “Well…”

-Niall-

“Well…” I started to say. This would come out in one or two ways. Good or terrible. I'm hoping it’s the first one but with harry and his slight anger problems, you never know. He sometimes overreacts to nothing or takes a huge situation as just a joke and brushes it off like it’s just a game. He’s unpredictable. Unlike his sister.

How could I come out and say that I was in love with his sister? Would it end up like it did with Louis two years ago? Out of all of the lads except Louis, I actually knew the truth. I knew Harry’s stupid decision he made concerning his sister. I knew unlike the rest. They thought Lou wasn’t ready to move on. The truth was, he was ready.

“I know about what you did two years ago. With Lilah. I overheard the conversation,” I said calmly. This wasn’t a very good way to start out this discussion. I couldn’t stop now but I shouldn’t have started like that. A different approach could’ve worked better but I lost my filter. Lilah has that affect on me.

“We all do,” Liam added followed by a head nod from Zayn. Harry didn’t look as pissed as I thought he would’ve. He looked vulnerable actually. There was a hint of shame but I don’t think anyone else saw it but me. I was definitely thinking he would’ve started flipping tables or something like that. He just looked like he was processing it.
