Confessions...

Ishita's POV

It was night and I was preparing to go to bed. Lia had come home and directly went to her room. She has been in there and hasn't come out since then. I don't know if she's even had her dinner or not.

I tried talking to her but she doesn't reply. I sighed as I got on bed and drifted to sleep.

Midnight....

At around 12:30 at night I woke up, in need of water. In half sleep I strolled through the drawing room area and reached the kitchen. I took out a bottle of water from the fridge and drank.

On my way back to the room, I heard faint sniffles and crying sounds. That worried me, because I knew it was Liana.

I followed the sound and reached her room which was locked from inside. The crying sounds became even more distinct.

I decided to talk to her. She had to let it out, what had been bothering her for a month now. Yeah, it's been a month since Lia left Harry.

"Babe, you in there?" I gently spoke through the closed door, hoping she would hear me. But got no reply in return.

"Lia please baby girl, say something" I cooed as I sat on the floor with my back resting on the door. (Here you can imagine Ishita and Lia sitting with their backs pressed to the same door, but in opposite sides).

"Lia, please tell me what's wrong?" I tried again. "Just go away Ishita. Don't act like you care. Because I know no one cares. Everyone just uses me!!!" Lia suddenly started speaking.
Her voice cracked even more with every word.

"Babe I care. I care a lot for you. Everyone cares for you" I cooed. Unleashed tears trickled down my eyes. I didn't know why exactly I cried, but I couldn't control it.

"No! Your a lier. Everyone hates me. You, Niall, Liam, Zayn, Louis, Eleanor, Sophia, Jaicy and... and Harry, everyone hates me" her voice choked when she said Harry.

"No babe, Harry loves you to death. Have you seen his condition since you left?" I said.

"No. He's a fucking lier. He cares only for himself. He wouldn't have slapped me, if he cared. He wouldn't have snogged with Taylor if he loved me. He wouldn't have.... " she stopped and cried.

I couldn't believe Harry slapped her. He made out with Taylor.

I could sense the pain in Lia's voice. This girl had been through a lot. Maybe that's what made her a cold hearted person from outside.

I just sat there not able to speak a word. I had nothing left to say now. Lia kept on crying, louder this time.

"Can you open the door for me?" I spoke after a long time, standing up.

After sometime I heared shuffling noises and seconds later the door creaked open revealing a pale girl, with blood red puffy eyes. The glow in her face was missing.

She shifted her gaze from the ground, to my face. Surely she saw the tears in my eyes because she rushed towards me to hug me tight. She held me tight and cried again.

"let it out babe. Don't hold it on. Let it go" I whispered through her hair. She was like a sister to me and seeing her in this condition, hurt.

"I don't know what has got into Harry, but I care. I knew you weren't wrong that's why I was ready to fight with the world for you. For the first time I fought with Niall when he blamed you. I left him babe, for you. And I don't regret it because I know that you were not wrong" I told her.

She loosened her grip on me and looked at me "you left him, for ME" she said emphasizing the me. I just looked at her.

"Are you crazy or something?" Lia yelled. "No, I ain't" I said.

"Babe, you fight with your boyfriend for a friend and leave him? You're insane!" Lia said shaking her head.

"He was blaming you. I couldn't stand that" I tried to justify myself.

"Everyone's blaming me. Will you fight with everyone then?" she said.

"Yeah maybe" I replied. She shook her head "Be practical Ishu. That isn't possible" she blabbered.

I was about to say something when my phone went ringing. I widened my eyes seeing the caller ID. It was Niall.

Liana indicated me to take the call. I gulped a lump from my throat and held up the phone to my ears.

(I- Ishita and N- Niall)

I- hello?
N- Um... Hey Ishita.
I- Hi Niall.
N- How are you doing?
I- Good.
N- That's great.

There was silence for a long time. So I decided to talk.

I- Niall you there?
N- Ishu...
I- Say it. I'm listening.
N- Ishu why are we even fighting? Can't you just come back? I don't want our relationship to end up like this. We don't know what exactly happened between Lia and Harry, so there's no point in fighting.
I- Niall that's exactly what I have been trying to tell you but you didn't listen.
N- OKay, I'm sorry. And I love you.
For a second I looked at Lia who gave me a reassuring nod. The call was on speaker so she could hear what Niall said.

I- Niall I love you too and you know it pretty well.
N- *sniffling* yeah
I- Aww... Nialler are you crying?
N- No babe. It's just that everything has been wrong since a month. And hearing the love word from you, it's like finally something is okay.
Can you please come back?
I- I will really soon.
N- okay, I'll be waiting.
I- Bye Niall.
N- Bye Ishu. I miss you.
I- I miss you too Niall.

And with that we hung up. Lia gave me a faint smile and hugged me slightly.

I noticed the time, it was 5 in the morning. Wow! We've spend 5 and half hours talking.

"when are you going?" Liana asked. "Today I guess" I replied. She nodded.

I started packing my stuff and Lia just watched me from the doorframe. I wanted me to stay for a few more days but Niall needed me, she did too. I promised her that I'd call her everyday and pay her visits.

"Time to go babe" I said turning towards Lia. She smiled slightly and hugged me.

"Don't worry i'll be back to bug you again before you even know it" I said. She chuckled at that.

"um... Ishu. Can you promise me something?" Lia asked. I nodded.

"promise me that you'll never tell anything to anyone about the reason why I left. Because I don't want anyone to blame Harry. As much as I hate to admit it, but I still love him and I always will" she said with a tint of sadness in her voice.

"I won't" I assured her. We hugged for the last time.

"Bye, take care" I said, and with that I left.

Niall's POV

Ishu was finally coming back. I was happy. But Harry was still in the same condition.

It's been a month now that he's locked himself in the room. He hardly came out. We tried to get him out everyday but got no response. All we could hear were sobbing sounds. We all had low hopes now. Management called every now and then because our recording for the new album was on hold. We had a lot of interviews and meetings lined up but we couldn't attend them.

Me, Louis, Liam, Zayn, Eleanor and Sophia all sat on the dinning table. Louis was reading the newspaper, Zayn was with his phone, Liam talking about something with management, Eleanor in the kitchen with Sophia and me scrolling through the news.

Suddenly we heard a "Good morning everyone". And we all looked up to see Harry descending the stairs, being in his cheery self. We all looked around confused at each other. What's wrong with this guy? Why is he behaving so normal? These questions were written on everyone's faces.

Cliffhanger!!!
What do you think Harry is up to? Why is he behaving all weird?
