Louis' POV

It was 4:00 am and I couldn't sleep. I should have been able to, but I couldn't Even though it had been a long day and I was exhausted, I just couldn't. Anyways, who could sleep when they were sleeping next to Niall Horan? Yes, I was deeply in love with my best friend. And despite the pain it caused, I wouldn't stop for the world. When Niall had another nightmare and asked me if he could sleepover, I had accepted right away. I couldn't help but feel the butterflies in my stomach. I could only enjoy it for now. I knew Niall would wake up at any given point and ask why the hell I was staring at him in a creepy, stalkerish way, as he was half-naked. But I can't hide it anymore. All the boys but Niall and management knew I was gay. I couldn't hide it from Niall anymore.

Niall's eyelids fluttered open, his chest moving up and down with each breathe. Everything about him is perfect. His smile, his laugh, his eating habits, his eyes, everything as perfect to me. Tomorrow, I'll tell him. Even if he breaks my heart, he has to know.

I rubbed my eyes, trying to wake up, when I heard a shuffling noise. With blurry vison, I turned my head to see Niall already dressed and ready to leave. There was something about the way he moved that was worrying me.

"Where you going, Nialler?"

I yawned and Niall turned, startled. His eyes were wide, staring at me.

"What's wrong mate? Are you okay?" I asked, getting up and squeezing into some blue chinos.

"Nothing. There's nothing wrong, mate... I-I just have to leave."

I suddenly remembered my promise and sadly saw how the love of my life was trying to sneak away.

"Wait! Niall!" I quickly tried to put on a random shirt to catch him at the door. I ran down the steps and grabbed his arm, spinning him around.

"Please, Ni, stay a little longer. I-I n-need to t-tell you s-something..." My voice broke and I trailed off.

"You can tell me later, Louis. I don't have time now. I really need to leave."

"But N-ni, it's a sleepover, not just s-sleeping, right? We need to h-have breakfast and have tea together. Then we can watch some movies or a football match or something. You are my mate, right? You can't just leave with no explaination. You've never done that before and I'm not letting you do that now-" Niall cut me off before I could finish. "LOUIS STOP! I NEED TO LEAVE, NOW!"

My face dropped and I closed my mouth. This had been the first time Niall had ever yelled at me. It was the first time he had held such harshness in his eyes. I took a step back and tears started to form in my eyes.

"Louis, I need to leave, I have to go home. I have things to do and they are none of your business." Niall said, still using the harsh tone.

I muttered a quiet 'okay' while he shut the door. I walked to the window and pressed my head against it, watching as Niall rushed to his car and drove off. I slowly sank to my knees, a couple sobs escaping and a 'but I love you' left my lips.

why would Niall Horan love you? look, you aren't going after him, you coward. A nasty voice said in my mind.

I chuckled coldly. It was probably right. I got up to go back to my room and wallow in self-pity.

I walked towards my bed, when I stepped on something. It was a small journal. I picked it up and examined it. On the front, was a note in red ink, 'Happy birthday Baby Nandos! I hope you like my gift to you! Lots of hugs, Boobear'
