Once Upon A Wish

Chapter 16

*Niall's POV*

I don't know how long I had been stuck in this little closet but it felt like an eternity. Inevitably I was very hungry.

I was drenched in sweat. It was so hot in that little room. It had to be at least 90 degrees. I had no idea where I was in this wreck of a hotel. Somewhere on the second floor, I knew that much.

Stand Up started playing through my head...

From the moment I met you everything changed

I knew I had to get you whatever the pain

I had to take you and make you mine

I would walk through the desert I would walk down the aisle

I would swim all the oceans just to see you smile

Whatever it takes is fine

As I made my way past the chemicals, dusters, polishes, brooms, and mops I couldn't really think of anyone else but Kylie. I don't know if this is love but how would I know?

I mean falling in love is defiantly NOT my thing. All the other boys had had girlfriends but I had always been by myself. It's not a bad thing. It's just that I have never met anyone who I've been so attracted to that I couldn't stop thinking about. I've never met someone who makes my stomach feel the way it does.

Why am I so discombobulated?

Good question and I defiantly didn't have the answer.

I somehow managed to get to my feet and wiped off the dust particles and flakes off old paper towels. I reached for the knob of the door. The closet had been dark the whole time I was in there I wasn't sure I was ready for light.

As my stomach growled at me I knew that I had no choice but to go find food.

As the light surrounded me and blinded my eyes I saw Zayn.

I saw him first. Just at the sight of him filled me with joy. "ZAYN!" I shouted down the hall. He looked up at me relieved, he must have been previously nervous. He ran towards me. I started laughing, his run was ridiculous.

He glared at me because he knew exactly what I was laughing at.

"Shut up you," was the first thing he said to me. "Were have you been?"

"Hey don't go all 'Daddy Directioner' on me! That's Liam's job!"

"Niall, where have you been? I'm not joking around here! You've been missing for hours! FREAK!" He took me by the head and held it tight against his chest. His heart was beating super-fast. Awk.

I pulled back and looked him in the face. "I need to talk to you." My voice cracked with this sentence.

"Sure Mate, what can I do for you?"

"Zayn," I was so nervous to say the next thing that I needed to say, "Zayn, I think.... I think I'm in love."

*Zayn's POV*

I've always been fond of Niall and I've always been a little afraid when he falls in love because if a girl hurts him he could suffer for months. I was so taken back when he said this.

He always used to tell me that he was in love with what were probably random girls. I would always tell him not to illude himself. He always would listen and just brush it off.

This time it was different. I could see something in his eyes that was like a spark, a flame, but as I looked deeper into his eyes I could see a sadness.

"Who?" That was the only word I could get this time.

He blushed at this. Well at least this time he might know her name.

"The girl that fainted at the airport." I mental face palmed at this. Maybe he didn't know her name.

"Do you know her name?"

"I do." He brightened at this but then the sadness entered again.

"Sooooo, what is it?"

"Kylie." As he said this with sweetness in his mouth but I could hear the bitterness. It wasn't bitterness for this lucky girl; it was a bitterness for something deeper in this blossom of a relationship.

"Tell me what you really need to tell me Niall."

Niall broke down.
