Luck of the Irish Twins series: Identity Quest (Book 1)

Chapter 6

I woke up in the middle of the night to a knock at my door. I grumbled and clambered out of bed to check the time. It was 11pm. SERIOUSLY?! Who the heck could it be? I put my phone down and went too the front door. When I opened it, Liam's tear stained face was the first thing I saw. "Liam? What's wrong?" I asked tiredly.  

"Umm..." he said. He looked away awkwardly then he looked at the floor sadly. "Dani broke up with me." 

I'm wide awake right away. "Oh no," I say. "C'mere." I let him in and headed for the couch. I patted the spot beside me, signalling for him to sit next to me. "Would you mind if I asked what happened?" 

He sat down and put his head in his hands. "Sh-she felt threatened with all the fans and T-Twitter is getting to her head." he said quietly.  

My heart fills with sympathy for him. "Awwe Liam..." I say giving him a hug. 

He took the hug gratefully and buried his face in my neck.  

"Ahem." someone clears their throat causing Liam and I to jump apart, startled. We turn to see Niall smirking and pointing at us. "What's going on here?" he asks cheekily. 

I looked at Liam then back at Niall. I stood up. "N-nothing," I stammered. "I just- Liam just came and I-" 

Liam interrupted me. "Dani broke up with me and Ira was just comforting me. That's all." Liam answered sadly, yet calmly. 

Niall's smile faded. "Oh Liam. I'm sorry. What happened?" 

Liam looked down. "Twitter got to her head," he responded. "And she didn't like the fact that we never got to spend much time with each other." 

I waited for him to mention that she felt threatened, but he never did. I gave him a confused look. He looked at me and smiled. "Thanks Ira." 

"N-no problem." I stammered and quickly headed for my room. Oh God. This cannot be happening. I can't like him. I got into bed and played my music. The first song that comes on is I Won't Say I'm In Love, from the Disney movie Hercules. Wow... that's ironic. Creepy. 

My eyes start to feel droopy and I start to dream.

~the next morning~ 

I wake up to Niall smiling in my face. "Morning sleepyhead." he said. 

I looked at my phone. It was 7am. "Jeez Ni, it's 7. Why are you up?" I turned over in the bed and pulled the covers over my head.  

Niall tugged them off me. "The couch isn't comfortable at all! Now get up!" 

I put my pillow over m head. "Why did you sleep on the couch you idiot?!" 

"Because Liam's sleeping in my bed." he replied. 

I sat up quickly. "Liam's still here?!" I asked.  

Niall nodded. "I couldn't send him home!" he exclaimed. "That would be rude!" 

I rolled my eyes. "Do you want me to start shouting?" I say.  

Niall widened his eyes and shook his head. "No!" 

I smacked his head with a pillow. "Then leave me in peace!" I whisper yelled 

"But I'm hungry!" Niall whines. 

I sighed. "Fine. But you owe me," I said and got up. "Now go away!" 

He looks at me puzzled. "Why?" 

I laughed. "I have to change!"  

Niall blushed. "Oh." he said and scurried out of my room. I laughed and took out a red blouse, then quickly changed my mind (A/N: haha Change My Mind :) sorry I had to say that). Instead I put on a white t-shirt and picked out my black jeans. I threw the pants on and put my long brown hair in a ponytail. I stepped out of my room. Niall sat on the kitchen table. "Ira can you check to see if Liam is awake?"
