Everlasting love - Niam

Chapter 9

Niall:

"Niall. Ni,wake up."

"WAKE UP YOU MASSIVE TWAT!"

"For fucks sake, Louis Honestly?"

I can vaguely hear the voices of my annoying best friend and his even more annoying boyfriend as I am pulled from sleep. I drag my eyes open to look at my clock. 6:52 a.m. Fucking wankers.

"Ni, come on get your arse up."

"Mmmrph." I flips them off, turning my face so I can bury it in my pillow.

"Same to you, fuck stick."

"Louis. Not helping."

"Zayn, relax. Let's just leave him. Queen Niall obviously needs his beauty rest."

"Fuck you, Tomlinson." I spit, sitting up from my bed, suddenly more awake.

"C'mon go get dressed we'll meet you downstairs" Zayn says and I nod watching as he drags Louis out the room.

I sigh, dragging my hand down my face before standing up and heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower. I almost flinch when I see my reflection in the mirror, I looked like a wreck. I didn't even recognise the person that was standing right in front of me, it didn't look like me, it was as if the life had been sucked out of me. I looked awful, a complete mess.

I tear my gaze away from the mirror, not wanting to be reminded again of how much of a failure I had become.

I don't take long in the shower and soon enough I am downstairs in the kitchen where I find Louis and Zayn sat on the island my mother speaking to them. I don't bother to say anything to them not feeling like talking today, last night had taken a toll on me. I didn't want any human interaction today.

I open one of the cupboards in the kitchen, taking out the many bottles of pills that I own, beginning my daily ritual.

"Morning sweetheart" my mother says and I don't say anything to her, choosing to ignore her. I was still upset with her for last night, her continuous preying had lead me to have a mental breakdown, one that I had been avoiding. I understood where she was coming from, it was her job to worry about me as a mother, I didn't give her enough of a reason not to worry considering everything but her continuous preying was beginning to annoy me.

I set the glass in the sink and place the bottles of pills back in the cupboard.

"Are you ready to go?" I ask Zayn and Louis.

"Yeah" Zayn answers standing up from his seat. I head out the kitchen not bothering to say goodbye to my mother and head outside, standing beside the car. Zayn and Louis come out and Zayn opens the car and I climb in.

"That was rude of you Niall" Zayn says as he reverses out the drive way "you know she is only worried about you"

"She told you?" I ask him, my jaw clenched.

"Of course she told me, I'm your best friend" Zayn says.

"It was nothing Zee, don't worry about me" I say, looking out the window.

"It's hard not to worry" Zayn says and I look away from the window meeting his eyes in the rear view mirror. He gives me a sad smile and I give a small smile back running a hand through my hair.
