Bethany's POV

While Niall was away, I continued to eat my food. I looked over in his direction and sensed panic. I made it unnoticeable as he walked back over to the table. I looked up from my plate as he sat down in his seat. It had looked like he'd seen a ghost. He wouldn't make eye contact with me; instead he stared at his phone.

"What wrong?" I asked him as he continued to stare down at his phone. "Was that the boys?"

Niall nodded slowly and looked up, behind me. "They said-"

Niall got cut off by a few voices talking from behind me. I slowly turned around and tensed up the second I saw who it was. His band mates were right behind me talking amongst themselves. I turned back to Niall and messed with my food. Niall leaned across the table and held my free hand, trying to comfort me.

"Did you tell them?" I asked, looking at our hands.

"They kind of found out themselves..." He replied.

"How did they get on the boat?" I asked him.

He just shrugged as I looked up at him, away from our hands.

"I think Nick let them on before we were here. They probably got him to tell them why I called him this morning. Maybe all that talking before we got on the boat he did, was just stalling." He stated.

Before I could respond to him, his band mates had brought up chairs and began to sit at our now crowded table. I was squeezed between Harry and Louis, eyeing me down. I cleared my throat and sat up straight, trying to be presentable. They just rolled their eyes and I slouched down lower in my chair. I let out a sigh and pulled my chair away from the table.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom." I said, getting up. I quickly found the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I put the toilet cover down and sat onto of it. I didn't know what to do and so far, my choice was to stay in the bathroom.

Niall's POV

After Bethany left the table, I could tell she was feeling uncomfortable. I tried to go after her, but Zayn pulled me back to my seat.

"She seems snotty like a total brat." Harry whispered to Louis, like I didn't hear.

"Why have you never told us about her?" Zayn asked.

"I didn't want you to judge her. Like you're doing now." I glared at them. "You guys just ran her away and now she's probably scared, hiding in the bathroom."
