Chapter 25

Tabitha's Pov

I groaned, rolling over as my head spiraled out of control. I slapped my hand over my mouth as I gagged, my stomach rumbling in odd noises.

I must've had a rough night last night.

I hesitantly got up, running out the room and into the toilets down the hall. I knelt down in front of the toilet, releasing my puke into the bowl. I tucked my hair back as I tried to catch my breath. I ran my memories from last night through my head.

I remember that I went to the club, bought a few drinks, danced for a while and that's where I blacked out. I closed my eyes trying to remember more until it hit me...

I KISSED NIALL! NO! WHAT? I KISSED NIALL! I COULDN'T HAVE! ...did I?

I stood up, flushing the toilet before walking over to the sink and wash my face. I looked in the mirror at myself, my long hair tangled in a mess. My fingers softly ran across my bottom lip, my fingers shaking as I tried to consume what I had recalled from my memory.

I couldn't memorize his reaction but I know I made a mistake. He's my best friend, he obviously doesn't feel the way I do. I don't even think I want to remember his reaction, but in a way I do... Ugh, what do I do? Should I just act like nothing happened? I don't want things to be awkward between us. This friendship means more to me than words could describe. I can't risk it.

"What even happened last night?" Sydnee asked, running her hand threw her black hair as Harry sat beside her on her bed.

"I don't even know but I do remember you drinking A LOT" Harry replied, handing her some aspirin and a glass of water.

Liam sat beside me, also handing me a glass of water and some aspirin which I gulped down with no trouble. I laid down on my back as I rested my hand on my forehead, my headache killing me.

"Fucking hell" I mumbled as I squeezed my eyes shut from the pain.

"So, who didn't get a hangover?" Sydnee asked.

"Ashley, but she's out to get you all something to eat" Liam replied, getting up and grabbing his phone.

"What about Niall?" I asked.

Shit, well wasn't that suss.

"Oh yeah, he's fine too, he's with Ashley" Liam answered typing on his phone.

"Oh, ok" I said, exhaling the breath I never know I was holding.

"Are you guys ok?" Ashely asked as she entered the room, Niall following with two plastic bags.

"Yeah, I'm ok but I don't think Tab is" Sydnee replied as Ashley sat on the edge of my bed, putting a hand on my forehead.

"Oh, you need to rest" she said, hopping up again and handing me burger, "but eat first"

"I don't feel like eating" I groaned, plopping the burger beside my pillow and rolling onto my side.

"Eating's good for you" the caring Irish voice said as he sat beside me. His fingers brushed through my hair as a smile creeped onto my face. The memories of last night jumped into my head. Shit. Does he remember? Just don't mention anything and it'll all be fine.

"No" I mumbled, "I'm not hungry"

"In order to feel better you need to eat" Liam said as Niall nodded.

"I don't want to"

"Well you have to" Ashley said sternly.

"Ugh, fine" I rolled my eyes, unwillingly sitting up. Niall handed me the burger as I leaned against the wall. He smiled at me as I returned the gesture.

"You were pretty drunk last night" he said, slightly smiling as I bit into my burger.

DO NOT MENTION THE KISS!

I nodded, "yeah, can't even remember a thing"

Stop being so suss!

"Really?" he raised an eyebrow, his voice saddening.

"Mm, yeah"

"Yeah you were wasted"

"I could tell when I woke up" I laughed as he slightly chuckled.

"We all feeling better now?" Louis asked as we all sat down at the café.

"Much better" I replied, running my hand through my long hair.

"Hectic night" Zayn stated as we laughed.

"No shit bro, you passed out in the middle of the dance floor" Harry added as Zayn playfully hit his arm.

"Yeah, but still, just trying to state the obvs" he chuckled.

"Sure bro" Louis patted his back, "now lets order"

I sipped on my hot chocolate as conversations sprouted about different issues. The whole time I couldn't keep my eyes off Niall, he's just so perfect. I really want to know what happened and how he reacted, but I don't. I'm scared it would be bad and that it'll hurt, but I don't know... His gaze met mine, I blushed, looking to the ground to hide my face. He smiled, giving me a wink as I blushed info a deeper red.

I've never blushed over him before. There never was a reason to blush. We've done everything together and nothing is awkward or embarrassing, except this.

But it's ok, everything's fine, if I just pretend that it never happened.

Helloooooooo (: how do you like the story so far? Things are picking up :o leave comments on your opinion .xx

My crush was crying this morning 3 I wanted to hug him so bad but then again he'll just be like 'WTF? Get off me' but yeah )": it was so sad. I don't know the full story but I think it's because he got caught for his tattoo. He was outside waiting for our class cause we were getting our class photos taken and he had the wrong uniform so he had to miss out. But then one of the teachers were like "just give him the spare uniform to wear" and he was hesitant cause you're not allowed your jacket for the photo so he would have to take it off, showing his tattoo. He walked back into the hall rubbing his eyes and stuff. I dunno what happened but they must've saw the tattoo. Then he walked out of the hall and went somewhere with the principle. Later our class went back to class and he walked past us all, looking down at the ground and you could see the tears in his eyes. I felt like just hugging him and making him feel better, but I can't. Then for the rest of the day he wasn't the happy, loud (annoying) guy he is. But he was still the rude boy he is -.- ugh. But anyway, it was lunch and he was trying to find him bag in the bag racks but he pulled mine out. I was like "that's my bag" in a casual voice and he just ignored me and dropped my bag on the floor and kicked it under the bag racks. He's so rude :/ but he's still amazing... I hate rude guys and bad boys! Why do I even like him? Help me! But anyway, how about you guys? .xx
