22. He Comes Home From Tour Early

"So, you won't be here for our anniversary?" you asked Liam over the phone as you got ready.

"Yeah, we added a few extra shows," Liam explained. "I'm sorry I won't be there, but I do have a surprise for that day. You just wait."

You sighed as you sat in the living room. Liam was trying his best for you. That's all you could ask for.

"Okay. Well I already took the day off from Friday, so I'll do something for the both of us, maybe," you suggested.

"You know I wanna be there, Y/N, but have fun and I love you. And we can celebrate better when I get back."

You smiled at his sweet words before replying, "I love you and enjoy yourself."

That Friday, you woke up already missing Liam more. He sent you a long, loving anniversary text, but you could rather have him with you to celebrate your years together. This was going to be your first anniversary without him.

You got ready for your day slowly because you really didn't know what to do that day. You were ready for the day, but no where to go. You heard your phone ring next to you. Liam's contact showed up before you answered.

"Hey, baby, happy anniversary," you smiled.

"Happy Anniversary, Y/N," he said, cheerfully. "Did my gift arrive yet?" he asked.

"Not yet but the day is still young," you reminded him. "Can you give me a hint on what it is?"

It was silent on the other end for a moment, "It's something you love."

You thought about before you heard the doorbell ring and your smiled widened, "Is that my gift."

You ran to the front door and swung it open. You felt your stomach drop, and you like it.

"Happy Anniversary, Y/N," Liam smiled, before hugging you tightly.

You felt yourself relax in his arms for the first time in months, "You lied to me," you chuckled, softly hitting the his back.

"Yeah but now it's me and you tonight."

|Niall|

Just a couple more days was a phase you told yourself numerous of time that week. You knew Niall would be home this week, but he never specified a day of his arrival. So you wanted and talked to him everyday and he still never knew.

"So news about when you'll be back?" you asked Niall during your nightly Skype call. It looked like he was on a plane while you were getting ready for bed in the bathroom.

"Not yet but when I figure it out, you'll be the first person I tell," Niall said, trying to ease you.

"Okay then," you sighed as you took your phone with you to the bedroom. "Where are you going right now?" you asked as you pulled back your duvet and sheets.

"Uh some where south, I don't know," he said, briefly.

"Well I have to be up early tomorrow, so I'll call you tomorrow," you smiled. "I love you, Ni."

"I love you, too. I'll see you soon."

You ended the call before getting in bed and turning everything off. You quickly feel asleep to only dream about Niall finally coming home. You longed this more than anything.

Later in the night, you heard a rattle come from down stairs. You quickly woke up realizing you were still alone. You heard steps coming up the stairs, and you had never been more afraid. You ran to Niall's closet to grab one of his golf clubs. You pulled the driver out of his bag and prepared yourself for the worst. You stood around the corner from the door and wanted. You looked at the door and saw the figure enter the room
