Star Crossed (Nouis)

Chapter 17

The first thing Louis heard after he drunk the poison was laughter next to him. Opening his eyes, he glanced over to his side. Who dares to disturb Louis, when he was trying to die peacefully. He then met eyes with the person he least expected. There next to the boy was Niall, who was doubling over in laughter.

"Niall" Louis croaked, going over to the blond. "I thought you were dead."

"Yea, I know" Niall laughed, slowly sitting. "I might have heard everything you said. Louis, I swear to god you're so stupid."

"But you weren't breathing, and I saw the bottle of poison"

"I was breathing the whole time, you idiot. Do you even know how to take a pulse?" he asked in a humorous tone. He quickly shot up his hand, stopping Louis from answering the question. "Wait don't even answer it. You do realize putting your thumb against my neck does not take my pulse. You needed to find a vain, you dummy."

"That still doesn't explain the bottle of poison" Louis said, pointing at the now empty bottle. "Wait am I still going to die?"

"No Louis, sadly you are going to live. What you drank was straight up vodka."

"Why were drinking that?"

"Have you ever heard the expression drinking away your feelings?"

"Oh" Louis hummed as everything clicked. "How long were you awake?"

"I woke up when I heard you sobbing the first time" Niall admitted.

"And you decided to sit there, and let me think you were dead."

"Well when you put it like that."

"You're an asshole, Niall."

"Hey, I call that revenge for what you put me through this week."

Louis ignored the blond's statement and fretted "What happened? Why were you passed out on the floor?"

"I passed out, since I haven't been properly eating and drinking for these past couple of days. Now I have a question for you. What the hell are you doing here, you fucking jerk" Niall hissed.

"I came here to apologize and win you back."

"How'd that go?"

"Pretty good, up until I thought you were dead."

Niall gave a sad smile. "Did you really mean those things you said to me last week after the fight between our businesses?"

Louis shook his head no, and grabbed Niall's hand. He kissed the blond's hand and said "I never meant a word I said. I was stupid, and didn't realize how much you meant to me. I was too scared thinking of what my family would think of me. But I don't care now. You are the only person I care about."

"I know" Niall chucked. "Remember, I heard everything you said."

"Oh yea" Louis remarked, "I'm so sorry Niall, do you think you could forgive me?"

Niall gave a full smile "of course I forgive you. Louis, any person willing to give up their life for me definitely has shown they are worth forgiving."

"We are like a messed up version of Romeo and Juliet" Louis joked.

"Yes, but unlike their story we will live and have a happy ending" Niall replied, wiping away Louis's tears.

Louis stared into Niall's eyes. "I was so scared, I would never see your eyes and smile again. Never do something like that again. I don't think my heart could handle it."

Niall cuddled against Louis's chest. Louis wrapped his arms protectively around the blond's waist, swearing to himself he would never let the blond go. Time didn't matter to them anymore. They could stay like that all night.

Louis kissed Niall's head and promised, "I swear I will never hurt you again."

"Good" Niall smiled, believing Louis's statement.

A couple moments later Niall said, "Louis, you know how I said I haven't been eating?"

"Yea" Louis agreed, leaning Niall up.

"Well I am feeling really dizzy and I think I am going to pass out again, if I don't have anything to eat."

Louis stood up and picked up Niall bridal style. "Anything for you love" Louis said, giving Niall a quick kiss on the lips. "Never do this to yourself again. Promise me."

"I promise" Niall stated.

Louis walked back to the party carrying Niall. "You look beautiful tonight by the way" Louis praised.

"Shut up" Niall groaned, hiding his red cheeks against Louis's chest.

"You're adorable" Louis remarked.
