Liam appeared with some aspirin. He was topless, but he wore tracksuit bottoms. Niall nearly fell off his chair and blushed awkwardly. He felt like a fangirl who also happened to be very clumsy. 

"Are you drunk?" Laughed Liam. Niall shook his head and continued eating his cereal. Liam got some water for Harry and Louis to take with their aspirin and put the water and aspirin beside the coffee. They murmured "thanks" and downed the water and aspirin. 

"We have a concert later, no more drinking today." Said Liam in a serious tone. He left to change before coming back, appearing set to go out. Niall frowned in confusion. 

"Where are you going?"

"I'm taking Danielle out for breakfast." Replied Liam, as he tied up his shoes. Niall felt his heart ache. You know that feeling you get, when your crush already loves someone? It was like that but a thousand times worse. Maybe Liam never did feel the same way.

"Bye." That was all.

Once their hangovers had gone, Harry and Louis both went out to their girlfriends. Niall was left alone. He switched on the T.V.

"Liam and Danielle were spotted this morning out for breakfast. They might just be the top couple of the year!" 

A slideshow of pictures came up showing them laughing, holding hands, and even kissing. Niall put his head in his hands, feeling like he'd been kicked in the balls. Niall had no problem with Danielle, she was a lovely girl and Liam deserved her. But Niall still felt a twinge of jealousy.

He opened Twitter on his phone only to be greeted with fans either rejoicing, or cursing. Niall turned off his phone and the T.V. He decided to have lunch.

Niall wasn't that hungry, he felt like he'd had too many servings of heartache. But he made a sandwich anyway, mostly as a distraction.

The day was long and tedious, and the others presumably were spending the day with their girlfriends. Niall didn't have a girlfriend. He was bisexual, but all his feelings longed for Liam.

Niall went to bed early that night. He didn't want to hear about Liam and Danielle's date, or see the pictures scattered on the media. He heard the others come in and sighed as he closed his eyes. Niall eventually managed to fall asleep, but it was a restless one at that.

*Dream*
Niall shouted in frustration as once again he found himself on the train. He winced as he looked at the distressed mothers clutching on to their children, and he could barely look at Liam.

"You must make a choice Niall, a choice between your morality and the one you truly love." Said the masked man. 

"The one you choose shall die, and you get the pleasure of killing them yourself. If you refuse to cooperate, both shall die." 

"No , please have some mercy." Croaked Niall, a tear escaping his tear duct. He looked at the helpless children, who looked at Niall desperately and then at Liam. Liam just sat there, he did not look at Niall he merely stared at his feet. 

" Choose." 

*End of dream*

Niall woke up shivering and covered in sweat. It was just a dream, it must be. Right? He shakily got to his feet and made his way to breakfast. Niall wasn't hungry. He just couldn't bear one second on his own. 

"Are you alright mate?" Asked Liam, concerned. Niall smiled weakly before nodding his head. He made a cup of tea, and then sat at the kitchen table. They all had the day off and planned to go out together; due to their busy work schedule, the boys hadn't had much time to spend time together. 

"We can leave at 11:00 and then we can get lunch whilst we are out." Said Harry as he downed the last of his coffee. The others nodded in agreement and left to get ready and do manly stuff. (A/N: Dirty minds think alike.)

Once everyone was ready, the boys left the house and went into the car. Niall looked forlornly at the seat Zayn used to always sit in, it had been left empty.

"Where do people want to go to today?" Asked Louis, as he buckled his seatbelt. Harry looked thoughtful, undoubtedly putting Gucci on his list. Niall winced. He remembered the days when the lads would go to an interview wearing a hoodie and jeans, not a damn was given about designers and trends. Sure they were adults now, but maturity isn't always fun.

"Let's go to the shops that we would have gone to when we were younger." Said Niall. Liam frowned before replying.

"But why?" At this Niall grinned. 

"Why not?"
