If it Means a lot to you - Niall Horan fan fic (ON HOLD)

Chapter 13

  I closed my eyes tightly when Niall swung his fist at Tom, thinking this was going to start something absolutely terrible.

I didn’t hear a sound.

When I opened up my eyes slowly, I saw Tom’s hand on Niall’s fist. Since Niall obviously wasn’t stable from all the drinking, it must have been easy for Tom to counter his punch.

Thank God.

I couldn’t imagine this getting out into the public…

Tom slowly set down his fist and backed up slowly. The two of us starred at Niall awestucken. He didn’t even look like himself, he appeared as though he hadn’t slept in days.

Then, he must have bounced back to reality, because he looked back at us completely helpless.

“I… Oh my gosh what am I doing…” He said shaken, hands on his cheeks.

I walked up to him slowly and looked up at him worried, and concerned.

“You’ve been drinking…” I said to him, I was really hurt. I hated that he resulted to this for some reason. He was never like this before.

He looked at me blankly for a second, then I began to feel the pain in his eyes. Me saying that triggered something in him, I wasn’t too sure what.

“Wait, no Kiki I didn’t mean to… I… I can’t think straight right now.” He responded anxiously and nervous.

He kept moving his hands around, through his hair, on his face, everywhere. He was very fidgety.

I didn’t have anything to say to him.

I just looked up at him, kind of scared.

I didn’t like it when people couldn’t control their actions.

    “Come on Keely, let’s go.” Tom said as he grabbed my hand and slowly led me away.

“No! Keely don’t go! I’m sorry! I’m okay I promise!” Niall shouted behind me, getting teary eyed.

He wasn’t himself right now. The pressure had gotten to him or something.

“I’m sorry…” I said as I made my way through the door

I glanced back quickly to look at him. I noticed him kick an empty beer bottle and fall emotionally onto the bench I was sitting on, he began crying into his palms.

“I need to get out of here.” I said as I squeezed on to Tom’s hand harder.

“I’ll take you back to my place, okay?” He said kindly, putting his arm around my waist.

And we made our way out.

    “So here we are.” He said as he threw his keys onto the couch nearby. His house was very warm and welcoming.

I ran my hands through my hair and looked around a bit. I was exhausted.

“You mind if I lay down on your bed or something?” I said as I wandered down the hall way without him noticing.

“Suuure.” He replied.

     When I found his room, I immediately jumped on to his bed and laid down facing the ceiling. His room was very clean and cozy. There was a fire place and the walls were a brownish red. I was ready for some hot cocoa now.

There was a convenient blanket on the bed so I grabbed it and cuddled into it, and began to close my eyes.

“You’re so adorable. But hot at the same time.” Tom said flirtatiously to me in the door way.
