This is Us - Sequel to This is Me

Chapter 20 - The Song

I woke to Niall talking in his sleep. He was yelling and telling someone not to touch me or he would kill them. Then he started crying. I shaked him trying to wake up. He opened his eyes and I told him its ok he was having a bad dream. I wiped the tears away from his eyes and hugged him. He kissed me and layed back down. He patted the bed for me to come lay with him. I crawled up the bed and layed on his chest. He stroked my hair and would kiss it every few minutes. He must be really shaken up by that dream. I cuddled up closer to him and started tracing shapes on his chest with my finger. We layed there for awhile but the alarm went off. I remembered that we were going shopping since most of our clothes were still on the tour bus. Me and Niall hopped into the shower and washed up. I put on a pair of white jean shorts and a light blue tank top. It was really warm here in California. I put some gel in my hair to make my hair have beach waves and I put on some eyeliner and mascara. I grabbed a pair of black flip flops and I was ready to shop. Niall had his hair down and a t-shirt and jeans on. He put on a pair of black high tops as well. I remembered that we were getting disguised. I went back to the bathroom and washed the makeup off my face. Everyone met up in our room. The boys were first to get disguised. Lou didn't do much to them but she did change up their hair and gave them all sunglasses. Harry's hair was still long and he had less curls. Louis hair was also kept longer and messier looking. Zayn's hair was swept across his face and Liam's wasn't much different. Niall's though was all brown. Holy cow. I love it. Now my turn. I walked into the bathroom and I saw hair dye and tons of makeup. Lou told me to pick out a color. I chose a bright red. I have been wanting this color for a long time. She then started cutting my hair. It was a scene haircut but I liked it. Then she started bleaching it and dyeing it. When it was dyed and styled I couldn't believe it I look so different. Then she decided to give me a tan. She started on my makeup next. I had so much on. I had a black smokey eye, winged eyeliner, and fake eyelashes and red lip stick. Holy crap I can't recognize myself. She then gave me fake nails and painted them black. I walked out of the bathroom and everyone's mouth dropped. I started blushing, I feel so uncomfortable. Niall walked up to me and caressed my cheeks.\"I like your hair babe.""Thanks, you don't think its too much?""No, you look good."We decided to not travel together, since that would look weird. Me and Niall road together and everyone else road separately. It took an hour to get to the mall from the motel. We decided not to stay in a group and split up. We had security guards with us but they didn't stay right next to us they watched us from a distance. I really like Niall with brown hair. I know it's his natural hair color, but he has always had blonde so it seems so different. He grabbed my hand and we walked through all the stores. I would by a couple things at each store. Our hands started getting full and we couldn't carry much more. We went back to the car and dropped off the bags and walked back into the mall. I knew I needed to stop at Victoria secrets, since all my underwear and bras got left in my other luggage. I told Niall this and we walked there. I knew it was expensive in here, so didn't want to buy to much. I just bought ten matching sets. I wanted to get some of the PINK stuff, but I didn't want to spend all the money we got. Niall noticed and he told me to get whatever I want and not to worry about it. I bought a pair of sweat pants and sweater and a cute pajama set. I started to get hungry, so we walked to the food court. We got subway and while we ate the boys started showing up. We didn't act like we knew them though. We had to stay where we were at. I glanced over at Harry and he still looked sad, but he has to learn the fact that I love Niall. I guess it will just take some time. We finished eating and decided that we were ready to go home. I was so tired. I'm just glad everyone made it back safe. I walked into our hotel room and I could tell something was wrong. I dont know what, but something isn't right. Niall walked in with the bags. His hands were so full. I offered to take some, but he wouldn't let me. We walked to the bedroom and what  I saw was unbelievable. There were flowers everywhere. Rose petals covered the floor and there were some candles lit. The rose petals went to the hallway to the other rooms. This confused me. I kept following them. They led to Harry's room. Why would they lead there. I opened the door and Harry stood there. I just stood there shocked. Why would he do this? Then he started singing. I didn't know this song.  "Now you are standing there right in front of me. I hold on it's getting harder to breath.All of a sudden these lights are blinding me.I never noticed how bright they would be.I saw in the corner there was a photograph.No doubt in my mind its a picture of you.It lays there alone in its bed of broken glass.This bed was never made for two.Ill keep my eyes wide open.Ill keep my arms wide open.Dont let me, dont let me, dont let me go, cause i'm tired of feeling alone.Dont let me,dont let me, go cause i'm tired of feeling alone.I promise one day that ill bring you back a starI caught one and it burned a hole in my hole in my hand ohSeems like these days i watch you from afar.Just trying to make you understand.Ill keep my eyes wide open yeah.Dont let me, dont let me, dont let me go, cause i'm tired of feeling alone.Dont let me,dont let me, goDont let me, dont let me, dont let me go, cause i'm tired of feeling alone.Dont let me, dont let me, dont let me go, cause i'm tired of feeling alone.dont let me, dont let me go, cause i'm tired of sleeping alone."He was crying by the end of the song. I didn't know what to do. Niall was right there with his mouth wide opened. Harry looked up at me and said the one thing I didn't expect."I just want to be friends.""What?""I wrote this song right after we split. I just wanted you to hear it. I understand you love Niall and if he makes you happy then I'll let you go, but please don't let me. Even if we aren't together let me be your friend. Lets go back to the way we were. When we talked and didn't just stare at eachother from a distance.""I'd love that." I ran up to him and hugged him. I walked back over to Niall, who just stood there not saying anything."Whats up with the flowers though?""Gift to you.""Thanks, but I don't know what to do with them all.?""You have to figure that one out."He laughed and walked out of the room. I grabbed Niall's hand and walked back to our room. I started putting away the stuff we bought and I came across a very sexy lingerie set. I put them on and walked out of the room. Niall's jaw dropped. I started giggling and he walked up to me. He grabbed my waist and leaned toward my ear."Are you trying to tease me?""Maybe."He pushed me up against the wall and started kissing me. He trailed kisses down my throat to my neck and then to my chest. He then picked me up and headed to the bedroom. He threw me on the bed and took off his shirt. He sat above me and started to kiss me again. I couldn't resist him. He was just so good at this. He was perfect everything about him was perfect. That night was also perfect.
