Time Of My Life || n.h. *COMPLETED*

Chapter 43

Chapter 43 -

I couldn't tell Niall that I didn't want him over because Harry was coming over. I couldn't tell him that Harry was coming over because he had kissed me. And I definitely could not tell Niall that I had sex with Harry; it would kill him.

"Niall, what I told you was true. My mom was at a pottery class and my dad and Stephen were really at the arcade," I said.

"But that doesn't tell me why you didn't want me to come over," he told me.

I sighed.

"I just wanted to be home alone."

"But why?"

"I guess so I could take in all the stuff that has happened to me within two days."

"You're hiding something from me Bryli."

"No I'm not. What makes you think that?"

He grabbed my face and stared into my eyes.

"What are you hiding from me, Bryli?"

I shut my eyes tight.

"I'm not hiding anything."

I opened my eyes a little bit to see Niall just staring at me.

"You're making it really hard for me to believe that you're not hiding anything, Bryli."

I shut my eyes again. I pictured Harry sitting on Stephen's bed shirtless and I giggled a bit.

"What's so funny, Bryli?"

My eyes flew open; Niall was still staring at me.

"Oh, it was just an inside joke I have with my parents," I lied.

I was feeling bad that Harry was stuck upstairs but at the same time, I was feeling horrible that I was lying to Niall. All of this is going too fast.

"You know, you can tell me anything, right?" Niall said.

I knew that was true, but I couldn't tell him anything.

"There's nothing wrong. I'm fine. I'm just glad to be home."

Niall kissed the side of my head then got off the couch.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

He helped me to my feet and gave me my crutches.

"I'm getting my clothes from downstairs and then I'm leaving to go hang with the boys," Niall told me.

"Oh, what are you guys going to do?" I asked.

We walked into the kitchen and I sat down at the table.

"I think we're just going to a club or something."

He opened the door to the basement and looked at me.

"Don't worry, Bryli. I won't do anything stupid."

Then he headed down the stairs. 'Wont do anything stupid'. Those words stayed in my head. I had already done something stupid. Then I heard footsteps coming down the stairs behind me. I saw Harry almost to the bottom of the stairs and I had motioned him to go back. He walked back up the stairs just as Niall got back into the kitchen. He held his clothes in his hands.

"Is there anything you want me to do before I go?" Niall asked.

"Just give me a kiss and I'll be fine."
