This is Us - Sequel to This is Me

Chapter 18- Different

I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. What a great start to my morning, but then I remembered what happened last night and I smiled. I feel so special. Is this how it always felt. I was on cloud nine, never felt happier. I noticed Niall wasn't in bed. I got up and wrapped my body with the sheet. I walked out of the bedroom and walked into the living room. What I saw made me want to run. I was so embarrassed, all the guys and security were sitting in the living room talking. They all turned their heads and started laughing. I ran to the bedroom and changed into clothes. I didn't want to come out of the room. They all know what happened last night. I just want to disappear. I hear knocking on the door, but I dont say anything. I don't want anyone to see me after that. I sat on the bed and put my head in my hands and started to cry. Everyone is gonna think I'm a slut. The knocking suddenly stopped and I heard voices, but I didn't care at this point. I kept crying and I heard someone walk in and close the door, but I didn't look up. I felt the bed go down and I knew they were right next to me. I could feel their breath on my neck. I felt a hand brush the hair off my neck and then they kissed my neck. I knew now that it had to be Niall. I finally looked up and stared in those very concerned blue eyes. He wiped my tears away from my eyes and he put his arms out to hug me. I scooched into his lap and he held me there, not saying anything, just cuddling me. I looked up and he smiled. Finally he talked."Are you ok babe?""No, I'm embarrassed and now everyone is gonna think I'm a slut.""Babe, you are not a slut. Just because you slept with me doesn't make you a slut. You slept with someone you love and this was your first time. Don't call yourself a slut.""Ok, I just feel like thats what they are thinking.""Those people are your friends. They wouldn't think of you like that. They love you. Now come out of the room. We have some stuff to talk about. By the way you look really pretty today. Your glowing. I like it. Those jeans look really good on you too."He winked and left the room. I walked over to the mirror. Do I really look that good today? I am just wearing a band shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. I did notice the glow though. Wierd. I walked out of the room and I felt a little better about myself. I sat on the couch next to Niall and he put his hand on my thigh and lightly squeezed it. What has gotten into him lately?
