Limitless (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 57

Mia's POV

"Niall, I'm fine. It's been a week and I haven't had any more texts from the stalker. I'm coming tonight with G and Jade and I promise that I will let you know if I hear anything from the police or this person ok?" I say down the phone as I lay on my back in bed on Saturday morning.

"Ok, you'd better. I can't wait to see you tonight. How are you feeling?" I'm slightly confused by his question since I'm not ill but I answer anyway.

"Fine." I say slowly. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because I know that you've been working extra hard to try and distract yourself from everything and you're probably exhausted from it all." He explains.

"I am not exhausted. I'm fine!" I say indignantly, sitting up in bed and leaning against the head board.

"Mia. It's 11 o'clock in the morning and I had to ring you three times to wake you up. You are exhausted and stubborn." He tells me with a chuckle.

"Well, I...Georgia turned my alarm off! How am I supposed to wake up at a decent hour without an alarm?" I argue but he just chuckles.

"I know that she turned your alarm off. Who do you think asked her to?" He responds and I'm surprised by this.

"You asked her to turn it off? Why?" I ask, curious more than anything.

"Because I have witnessed you falling asleep on the way home every night for the past week and I wanted you to have a lie in for once so that you could rest up." He tells me and I sigh.

"Ok, so maybe I did need a little sleep. Thank you." I say, giving in. It's true I was exhausted from working really hard all week, both at school and work, to the extent where I took on a few more hours at work when I had nothing to do at school and the school were fine with it since I was ahead in most of my subjects.

"You're welcome. Now I'm going to get to rehearsal while you get a little more sleep, ok?" He says and I smile slightly.

"No Niall. I am not going to go back to sleep now. Besides I brought some work home so I'm going to get on with that." I tell him while swinging my legs off the bed and standing up, the soft carpet pressing into my feet as I stretch.

"Oh no. You are not doing any work today. That is not allowed. Now get back into bed this instant!" He says and I giggle.

"Make me." I tease and he sighs.

"Seriously Mia, you need a break from working. I'm sure Georgia and Jade will help distract you for the day just promise me that you won't do any work today." He begs and I sigh, giving in. The work isn't urgent since Olly's album is sounding great and we're ahead of schedule as it is.

"Ok fine, I promise, but if I get bored and start to think dark thoughts then can I distract myself with work?" I ask and there's a small pause before Niall responds.

"No, absolutely not and I have just come to a decision. You and Georgia and Jade are coming to spend time in rehearsals for the day, and besides on a Saturday we usually rehearse for about half an hour or so on the main stage and then have the rest of the day to chill so grab your passes and get here. Call me when you do. Love you." And before I can protest there's a click and the call is ended. I didn't even get to say 'I love you too'. I sigh and go for my shower.

During the entire time it has taken me to get dressed and ready to be seen in public, it's been bugging me that I didn't get to say 'I love you too' to Niall. I pull my phone out to text him but that's not the same as saying it so I hold out for a little longer. I head down the stairs having already told the others the plan and they both seem very excited about it.
