I woke up, the room still dark. I looked over to my side to see that the sun hadn't risen yet. The clock read 3:54 a.m. I closed my eyes tighter to fall back to sleep but it was hopeless. I tried turning to the other side but an arm was wrapped around my waist securely, not letting move around freely. Thats when it hit me, who did I sleep with last night? And how much trouble would I get myself into? I was scared to look at the guy sleeping by my side, his little breaths escaping his lips. I brushed his hair with my left hand, stroking it softly. I grabbed my phone and turned the light on to get a better look at this "mystery man" and to my surprise, it was Niall.

Now I knew I was in to deep shit. Not just with myself but with that bitch Claire. I tried to wriggle myself out of his tight grip but he would only make it tighter. Was he awake? Or was this an instinct he gets with Claire? Does he even know he's here? Or that we slept together? Questions were roaming around my mind, making it difficult to notice that Niall was actually awake and now staring at me, a smile plastered on his face. Nice going Niall, do you even know where you are?

"Good morning" His voiced echoed the large bedroom. .

"G-Good morning Niall.." I stuttered quietly "It's almost four, uh.. The party must be over huh?"

"Yeah, its quiet down there.. The boys are staying over?"

"Yeah, tonight though.. After I pick up Lily"

"Oh, thats nice-"

"Niall, do you know what we did last night?! Especially that your in MY bed at this moment.." I said a little too quickly than expected.

"Uh, no.. I-I don't remember.."

"Well check under the covers maybe you could get an idea of what happened.."

He looked at me with a confused look. Niall was always someone who was a little off with stuff and never was really bright. But that was one of the many things that made me fall in love with. I tried to hold in a giggle from escaping my lips as I watched him looked under the covers and wait for his reaction. His eyes went big and he looked around the room probably to look for his clothes.

"I-I'm sorry!" He stuttered, getting out of bed and pulling his pants on.

"Niall-" I said.

"No you don't understand Julie, I don't love you anymore.. I'm with Claire.." He said looking down "I'm sorry.. I'll come by a little later to get Lily.."

My heart sunk, to think that four years ago those same words would be said again, just in a different situation. I watched pull his shirt over his head and put his shoes on. Tears were threatening to fall but I didn't bother to hold them in. I was falling for Niall all over again, but you couldn't blame me. I have his child, he was my first love. No one could get over those. But I never even tried too. He walked out, leaving me completely naked and alone in my home. I couldn't go to sleep now, even if I wanted too. I pushed the duvets off me, letting the cool summer breeze hit me. I grabbed my towel and headed towards the bathroom to shower the shame off me.

After what probably seemed like an hour of putting my head down, letting the warm water hit me to the point where my body was starting to sting and turn red I hopped out wrapping myself to protect me from the breeze. I slipped into my lingerie and just changed into some denim shorts and a white v neck. I curled my hair, playing with it to take my mind off of what happened earlier. I applied mascara and just some lipgloss to satisfy my look. I slipped into my white converse and grabbed a burgundy cardigan to complete it.

I walked into the kitchen start breakfast for me and Lily. I heard my phone vibrate against the counter just as I finished making breakfast for the both of us. Two messages. One from Niall and the other was from Liam.
