With All My Heart (And a firm hand)

Chapter 11: Insomnia is a bitch

Hiiiii ! Remember me? I'm the person who haven't updated this story in forever! (Sorry !).

So eh... yeah. I found myself having a bit of a writer's block. And when I say 'a bit' I mean A LOT.
Every time I started writing it wasn't detailed enough and then it didn't have enough plot in it and... yeah. But eh... I'm not sure if this is a good chapter because of the writer's block. Sorry if it's horrible.

Another important note: I'm going on a camping trip for 10 days and I'm not allowed to bring my laptop and there's no wifi anyway. I'll bring a notebook and a pencil to write in and when I get home I'll try to update as fast as possible. (Just thought you should know why I won't be updating for 10 days).

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Niall groaned as he turned off his alarm clock. Was it really six a.m. already? Niall looked at the red digital numbers and saw that indeed it was.

The blonde boy shut his eyes and laid back down on his bed to stretch his still sleep-filled body. He felt a head ache coming on and led out a curse as he sat up, forcing himself to leave the comfort of his warm bed. 

They all had to be up and ready because they had an interview scheduled with BBC Radio 1 during The Breakfast Show at eight o'clock. They were going to be interviewed by Nick Grimshaw, who was a good friend of theirs - especially Harry - so none of them were complaining. Except for the fact that they were tired of course. 

Niall pulled on some sweatpants and a T-Shirt before walking into the kitchen, where he found Liam and Zayn drinking what looked to be coffee. 

"Morning." Liam said, sounding just as tired as Niall felt.

"Mmh." was all the Irish boy could reply. They all looked up as Louis appeared from the hallway, dragging an almost sleeping Harry with him.

Niall thought about making himself a cup of tea but since he needed to wake up he decided to pour a cup of coffee instead as well.

All the five boys were tired. No. Correction: Exhausted beyond belief. 

During the past three weeks they had done nothing but promotion for their new album release and they were all terribly low on sleep.

Niall was worst off; Whenever the blonde boy got too tired and stressed, he couldn't sleep. The more tired he got, the harder it was for him to fall asleep. 

The others guessed that the insomnia was caused by the stress that came along with the promotion.

What they didn't like about Niall's lack of sleep, was the youngest boy's attitude. 

A tired, sleep-lacking Niall equaled a bratty, whiny and childish Niall, that neither of them wanted to deal with.

"Alright, so we'll be picked up in forty-five minutes." Zayn said and emptied his cup of coffee. "Better be ready." With that the Bradford lad left the kitchen. 

Probably to fix his hair. Why even fix it? It was a radio show for God's sake.  

"Tell me again why we couldn't get an interview at a later time of the day?" Niall grumbled, feeling a bit more awake as he was on his second cup of coffee.

"Because management want the interview to be with Grimmy." Liam answered, sending him a look for his grumpiness. "A lot of our fans like him." Harry hummed in agreement as he ate some toast.

"I like Grimmy too." he said dreamily. His head looked like it was seconds away from falling down on his plate. He looked so tired that he probably wouldn't care if he used his toast as a pillow.
