Your Little Things

Chapter 23- Infinite

I slipped the ring onto my finger. It was so cute. A frown hit my face. Niall cupped my face to look at him. 

"Are you okay babe?"

"Um y-yeah" I stuttered.

"You've seemed a little off lately, you know if something's wrong you should tell me"

"I know it's just that it's nothing I'm okay" I shoved a smile on my face without teeth. It was so fake.

"You are so bad at lying" I sighed.

"I'm just really stressed out"

"About what?" He took a seat by me on the stools around the island in the kitchen.

"I don't know just, everything"

"Explain?"

"Like Louis and Morgan have been having problems and"

"You don't think that since they are we will do you?" He cut me off.

"Oh no" I replied quickly.

"Well then what do they have to do with us?"

"They don't, I'm just stressed okay?" 

"Is it the whole Noah thing? I would completely understand"

"Well not really I mean yeah, but I haven't even really thought about him"

"Good you shouldn't be, well what is it then?"

My eyes darted around the room looking for something to look at so I didn't have to look him in the eyes.

"Well?" He motioned me to continue.

"I don't know it's just like Harry I guess"

"Harry?" His sense of tone changed.

"Yeah" I squeaked.

"What about Harry?" He was starting to raise his voice.

"How he doesn't like us together"

"So? You weren't stressed when I didn't like you and him together" He stood up.

"That's so different!!" I stood up too.

"How? How in anyway is that different?"

"You said it was okay!!"

"HARRY DID TOO"

"WHEN?!" We were both screaming by now.

"AT THE HOSPITAL!!" I stopped and just looked at him. His face was so red and his eyes looked hurt. He walked up the stairs to my room and I followed him. He shut the door before I got to it. I opened it up and he was looking for something in my dresser.

"What about this?" He was holding Harry's hoodie I had kept from when we were dating. I held back my tears.

"It's just a hoodie!"

"Do you still like him?" 

I just stood there like an idiot.

"You do" He looked at me like I was a monster. He threw down the hoodie and walked out.

"NIALL WAIT" I ran after him. I grabbed his arm and yanked him back. He turned around, his cheeks red. Dark circles were forming around his eyes.

"What" I'd never heard that voice before. It was so raspy, but in the scary way.

"He means nothing to me, Niall, I love you"

"Stop! Just stop saying that if it's not true!" 

"Who said it wasn't" I practically whispered.
