Titanium | Niall Horan

Apologies and Enemies.

Belle

I sighed as I flipped through dozens of random channels. There was absolutely nothing on. I quickly placed the remote down on the table, hitting my arm in the process. I winced as an unbearable pain shot up my arm. The throbbing pain I felt was overwhelming. I looked over at Harry to make sure that he wasn't looking. He was sprawled out on the couch looking lost in thought. I grimaced when I became aware of the drool dripping down his bottom lip. Ew. I rolled down my sleeve at a quick pace, trying my best not to catch Harry's attention. I winced as I gently touched the fading bruises on my arm. It has been a week since the club incident but the bruises were still visible and fragile to the touch. They were a grievous reminder of what Niall did to me. I was about to pull my sleeve down but ended up randomly sneezing. Harry's gaze quickly averted to me and then my arm, causing his eyes to widen. I carelessly pulled my sleeve down but I knew that it was too late.

"Belle your arm.." Harry said in a voice that was barely audible. His facial expression resembled utter shock.

My mouth was open but no words came out. Harry hesitantly strolled over to me and pulled my sleeve up. I scowled as he traced circles along my bruises. He must have seen my reaction because he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Belle how did you get these?" His voice sounded distant and concerned.

"I fell..." I lied.

Harry looked at me worriedly and raised an eyebrow.

"You fell?" He looked amused now, "How exactly did you fall?"

"Um...I accidently tripped down the stairs." I muttered.

Lying to Harry is pretty much impossible. He can see through any lie like a window. My heart beat escalated as I waited for him to answer, hoping he would buy my lie.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked me frowning.

I could easily see the hurt in his eyes. Harry and I usually told each other everything. I cursed to myself as I realized that I was breaking the brother-sister code.

"Ever since that night at the club you've been diff-" he was cut off by the faint ringing of his phone.

He mumbled something and then accepted the call. I jumped at least a foot in the air as soon as I heard a loud voice echo out of the phone speaker.

"BITCH YOU'RE LATE!"

I immediately recognized Louis' voice and began to laugh uncontrollably. Oh Louis...

Harry signaled for me to be quiet as he continued to talk to Lou.

"I'm sorry boobear..no..it won't happen again..I promise!"

I continued to laugh my arse off.

"Tell Belle I said hi!" I heard the devil himself shout in the background with his stupid Irish accent.

" I think she heard you Nialler." Harry said sarcastically, while laughing at my shocked expression.

"OKAY WELL COME OVER AND BRING MY WIFE WITH YOU!" Louis screeched before hanging up.

Harry put his phone in his pocket and then faced me with a giant grin situated on his face.

"Leggo!" Harry yelled randomly.

I shook my head.

"There is no way that I'm going-"

Harry rolled his eyes.

"YOU'RE COOOMING!"

And with that I felt myself being dragged outside by my annoying older brother.
