My Princess Next Door 》》 Niall Horan

Chapter 26

A/N The coming chapters are important and I've put a prologue in the beginning coz I just thought about it now. Enjoy!

ZAYN'S POV

And then the gun fired. A hand pulled mine towards the right. The bullet crashed on the wall. What if they must've heard it? I need to leave right now. Else it can get dirty.

"I'll take them away" I told my partner in crime, Niagara.

"No way!" She exclaimed.

"That's the only way"I told her and ran towards the attackers.

NIAGARA'S POV

Zayn ran off. Just like that. Without even considering about himself. And in a way me, because I'll be the one who will be interrogated by eleven people, especially one super concerned boyfriend. Lord have mercy!

I slowly opened the door and everybody hurried out of the room. "What the hell is going on?!" Harry yelled at me.

"How would I know? Why don't you ask your friend?" I yelled back. I have to yell back. I just can't tell that to them. Especially Niall. Even though I hate to hide even a single thing to my boyfriend, I have to hide it from him.

"It's getting late. Let's better forget everything and go to bed now. We have a long journey tomorrow, yeah?" Liam, the practical one amongst us, said. Yeah, we were leaving to Mullingar tomorrow. I can't believe that this week is over. The first ever outing I remember going as a family. I say family because the Horans and now the rest of One Direction are the closest thing I have to family. And I have to protect it, come what may.

"Okay" We all agreed and went to our respective rooms. But Niall took the couch.

*********

Niall still was angry at me. I knew it from the look in his eyes and the bitterness in his voice whenever we spoke. We all got ready to go back to Mullingar. I was wearing Niall's onsie and the smell of his cologne was truly refreshing. We all packed ourselves and our bags in our minivan. All of the couples were sitting together. And it included Niall and me.

"What are you hiding from me?" Niall asked me in a cold voice. No! He can't know!

"I.... I can't tell you now.... Please Niall... I ask you to trust me now.... Please..." I couldn't find words to say more than this. Niall was not able to hide his anger so he turned his head away from me. Niall! Please! Don't do that!

I tried my level best to fight the tears from falling down but I failed to do so. I realised that we were having our first 'fight' and I am the one who should apologize. But I am not in a situation where I can. It was just one week and I started to have a fight with Niall. It made me doubt why we tried in the first place. 'No, you idiot! Stop! It will get better. Don't you forget learning it the hard way?' A voice screamed in my head.

And then a plan to solve this problem began to form in my head.
