Nialler's Princess

Chapter 6

*Niall’s POV*

“I’m still hungry” I said as I finished my last sandwich.

“Niall when are you not hungry? All you ever do is eat. How are you not falling through the floorboards yet?” Zayn said

“I have a high metabolism, do we have any leftovers?” I asked and started walking towards the kitchen. I felt extra hungry today for some reason. Maybe it was all the worrying I was doing over Kitty but all I knew was I, was, Hungry.

“Niall you have to cool it mate or you’ll explode.” Louis called to me from the living room

“I’m fine. Hey can we order a pizza? Or maybe two.” I said after I found nothing in the kitchen. Well except for this bag of crisps.

“Niall?” Liam said sounding a little worried

“Yeah?” I asked and shoved a handful of the crisps into my mouth

“Niall how old are those?” Harry asked

“I don’t know. They’re not bad though.” I said as I swallowed them and put another bunch in my mouth.

“You’re a pig” Lou said

“I’m not talking to you!” I screamed at him. I wasn’t really mad but he had upset me a little. That evil jerk.

“It wasn’t my fault you thought she called” he replied

“Was too”

“Was not”

“Was too!”

“Was not!”

“Niall, all Louis said was ‘guess who’ he never said it was Kitty who called” Liam defended Louis. Lou just gave me a smile and a “humph” sound looking satisfied with himself. I stuck my tongue out at him. He did the same.

“Liam’s right it’s not Lou’s fault your obsessed with this cat girl.” Zayn said laughing at us.

“She’s not some cat girl! Her name is Kitty!” I said a little louder than necessary.

“Why do you call her that anyway?” Louis asked forgetting I said I wouldn’t talk to him

“Yeah is it because you like her little kitty?” Harry asked wiggling his eyebrows.

“Would you stop with that!” I screamed at him feeling my face grow slowly warmer and warmer.

“Look he’s blushing again” Zayn screamed

“Wait so why do you call her that. I thought you said her name was Melody.” Liam asked. Whenever I talked to her I always called her Kitty but whenever I talked about her I always ended up using her first name instead. It’s a weird habit I developed.

“It is,” I answered Liam. “Her name is Melody I just always call her Kitty. Only when I talk to her though otherwise I call her Mel.”

“Well why don’t you just call her Mel all the time then?” asked Louis

“Yeah I got confused when you told Lou you were calling Mel then said Kitty. I seriously thought you were talking to a cat.” Harry said

“When we were little everyone called her Kitty but when we got older they started calling her Mel. I was the one who started calling her Kitty in the first place so I stuck with it. But, whenever I’d ask someone else about her for whatever reason they never knew who I was talking about, unless they had grown up with us.” Oh I guess I did know

“Oh so you call her Kitty because that’s your name for her but you got used to calling her by her real name in front of other people.” Liam said finally understanding.

“That seems like a lot of work” Zayn commented

“Well I’m sure for her it’s worth it, right Niall” Harry said to me grinning from ear to ear.

“I would throw these at you but I’m hungry,” I told Harry. “I’ll throw the bag at you when I’m done” They all laughed but all was silent when we heard Lou’s phone ringing again.

“Oh Niall” Zayn said in a singsong

“Don’t even mate, I’m not answering that” I told him

“Could be Kitty” Lou said almost shoving the phone in my face

“Last time it was Eleanor, then your mum, then Eleanor again. I’m not picking up this time.” I said and crossed my arms.

“Just answer it” Liam told me but I just sat there and waited although it was killing me watching the bright light of the phone reflecting off Louis’s face.

"Hello?" he asked and my heart dropped. What if it was Kitty. What if she heard it wasn't me and hung up. But it was too late now and all I could do was watch Louis as he talked to her. If it was her.

"Look, Niall stopped eating" Zayn said and they all laughed except for me. Even Louis who was on the phone laughed.

"Well why are you calling if you don't know me?" he asked.

"Who is it?" Harry yelled at Lou. I shoved the bag of crisps in his face so he wouldn't make any more noise.

“Shhhhh!” I told him trying to listen in on who was talking on the other line. Liam and Zayn started laughing and I heard muffled sounds coming from Harry which didn’t help me with listening to the conversation.

"What love," Louis asked distracted by our little scene. "Oh no he used my phone to call you. I’m not the one who called." With that I knew, it was Kitty. She was on the other side of that line. What if she thought I was ignoring her? What if she just hung up and never talked to me again?

"Niall are you okay mate?" Liam asked but I was too focused on Louis to listen to what anyone else was saying.

"Oh is that so?" Lou said. I had a feeling he was purposefully talking in a way so that I wouldn't know what they were talking about. "Oh well I don't know if he'll wanna talk to you."

"What?!" I screamed and started to get up but Harry held onto me. Zayn then rushed over and covered my mouth. As much as I screamed at Lou I doubt he heard me much less Kitty.

"Yup, yup, that's right... Yeah it is... Alright well I'm hanging up now... Yup, alright." Louis spoke as I desperately tried to get out from under Zayn and Harry. I could take one of them but not both at the same time. It's not like I was Liam.

"Alright I think I've tortured him enough." said Louis confusing me. "Niall phone for you."
