"You should go. I will catch up with you later, dont worry," I whisper to him in the hall of Sophia's home.

"I've been away for too long. I can wait," he replies and I shake my head.

"Don't. You've been stressing out for a while. I will be okay here. Besides, Collin is with Marina now back in New York. You dont have to worry,Niall." I say passionately.

He sighs and gives a small smile.

"I love you." He says softly and it brings a smile onto my lips.

"I love you more," I say and let a sigh escape my lips.

"Now go, before they leave you," I laugh and he kisses me quickly before turning to the door.

"Hey,and Amber," he turns as he's about to exit.

I smile.

"Wait up for me." He smiles.

"I wouldn't do anything else." I retort with a smirk.

-

I sit alone at Sophia's cozy home,huddled on the couch in one of Niall's hoddies, reading a book with the news on low volume.

I made myself some tea,as the night was dark and quiet,and I was fully absorbed in this book I was reading.
A knock at the door scares me, but I smile. Of course the boys would leave their keys here.

I stand and walk down the hall to the front door, looking in the peephole and frowning. No one is there.

"Hello?" I call out, and look again.

I shake my head. Maybe it was just my mind getting to me.

I begin to walk away,my bare feet thudding softly on the cool marble floor. Then,again.

Ding,ding.

I snap my head around and growl, going to the door and opening it forcefully.

No one was there.

I keep my breathing steady as I look around. A slow, steady flow of cars zooming by and a few people walking on the sidewalk. I close the door and lock it.

I walk back to the living area and stop cold in my tracks. The TV is on, but on a static channel,the noise buzzing lowly. My book is not on the couch any longer, but on the table along with my tea.

I turn around swiftly and the hair at the back of my neck rises.

"Guys? Stop playing right now!" I scream.

My phone beeps on the table and I push myself forward. My screen is lit up with a text notification. I grab my phone and read the text, my chest going on fire.

My Niall ♡ : Hope you're still waiting up for me ;)

I clench the phone in my hand. They arent even here. I open my phone and dial Niall quickly. I feel guilty, but this is weird. This isn't feeling right.

He picks up after the line rings twice, and I hear muffles voices and music in the background.

"So you are waiting up?" He says in a velvety tone.

"Niall-" I start and stop when a large bang erupts from upstairs.

I quickly stop moving and lower my voice.

"Amber? What's wrong? !" He asks hurriedly.

I swallow and I can hear my heart hammering in my chest.

"Someone is in the house." I shake.
