Missing You (A Niall Horan story)

Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

I wake up the next day in someone else's bed. I recognise the room, it was Niall's. What the hell am I doing in Nialls bed in his room? I ask myself I sit up and look around the room in an attempt to make sense of what has happened.

I look at the clock it's 9:30, will anyone be awake? Knowing my friends everyone is probably still asleep.

I slowly get out of bed and make my way over to Niall's bathroom. I had fallen asleep in my clothes, at least that was a good sign nothing had happened. Lewis wouldn't be happy I was here in the first place let alone in my ex boyfriend's bed. I washed my face and went to find Eleanor. She was sitting I the living room eating some toast.

"Hey El, what was I doing in Niall's bed? Please tell me I've behaved." I ask nervously

"Okay so when you fell asleep we weren't sure what to do with you to be honest. Of course we didn't want you to sleep on the sofa, so Harry offered to share his bed but Niall wasn't having that so Louis carried you into Niall's room and Niall slept downstairs." she explained

"Oh that's so nice, where is Niall now?" I ask smiling

"In the shower." she says

I walk into the kitchen and pour myself a bowl of cereal, I walk into the living room and join Eleanor on the sofa.

"I have to thank Niall for giving up his bed for me." I state

"I know you do" she laughs.

"What should I say?" I ask

"Um I suppose you should say Sorry I feel asleep and had to use your bed? Thanks for not letting me sleep on the sofa?" she laughed

"That will do, I didn't make the first reunion the easiest did I." I said smiling

"Not really but oh well it's happened now." she smiled before hugging me.

"Right I'm going to get a shower and get changed! My parents will be wondering what happened." I say

"Oh no it's fine I called them and told them I asked you to spend the night." she said

"You've always been one step ahead of me, thank you."

"Well someone has to be!" She laughs, I playfully nudge her in response.

"El is it alright if I borrow some of your make up after I shower?" I ask

"Of course, here you can also use my hair dryer." she smiles

"Thanks! Which shower should I use? It's a bit awkward to wake up in your ex's bed but using his shower might be the step too far." I sigh

"Niall said you could use the one on his room."

Okay maybe that means Niall doesn't hold as much as a grudge as I thought he would? Whatever the reason I was thankful he was being the bigger person.

I smile and head back to Niall's room. I look around it, I remember the first time I stayed the night here, Niall had set out candles and actually tidied his room. I look around and see a picture of me and him from ages ago, we were out at the beach for the Bank holiday.

Niall had put me on his shoulders, he was standing in the water, Eleanor took the photo before running in and pushing Niall over, taking me with him.

I felt tears prickling at my eyes and so I went into the bathroom to shower before I start crying. It's hard to look back at those memories without all the feelings rushing back.

After my shower I got changed and walked into Louis and Eleanor's room to use the hair dryer. Eleanor walked in and snatched it off me insisting that she do it for me.

I let her, she brushed through my long wet hair and started to dry it. It took a while as my hair is very long and takes ages to dry.

"Thanks El." I say

"It's fine, now let me do your make up!" she says excitedly

"Go on ahead" I smile

She grins and gets to work on making me appear more human.

"There all done! Do you like it?" she asks

Eleanor is a model so I'm pretty confident that she knows how to apply make up. I was right, it was so much better than anything I could do.

"Wow thanks El, it looks really pretty." I smile admiring my reflection in the mirror

"Well so are you!" she giggles

I hug her and she leads me downstairs to the living room. By this time everyone was awake. I greeted them all, I searched around for my phone but I couldn't find it.

"El have you seen my phone?" I ask

"I'd check Niall's room!" I hear her reply

I get up and head up the stairs to Niall's room. I knock on the door and I hear his voice say...
