Like a Fairytale [njh]

Chapter Thirteen

MATT'S POV

"So," I begun. Niall and I had arrived back at the hotel about an hour ago and were all ready for bed.

"So I'm trying to sleep. Shut up, and go to bed," Niall snapped.

I sighed and turned to lay on my back. After tossing and turning for a while, I opened up my mouth again. "Are you asleep?"

Niall threw a pillow at me. "Will you fucking shut up?"

I sat up and grabbed the pillow. "Man, a pillow. I'm wounded."

"I will fucking beat the shit out of you," he huffed.

"No, you won't."

"Why are you being so annoying?"

"Because you finally found a girl you like, and you just let her walk away. You kissed her, said goodbye, and left. I know I haven't known you that long, but I know this isn't like you. What's up?"

Niall sat up, raked a hand down his face, and turned on his small bedside lamp. His face was red, and I could tell he had been crying. God, Niall cried a lot.

"I don't know," he said, wiping his eyes.

I sighed. "Well, we have to get up early for our flight. So you can sleep now."

We both turned out our lamps and laid down. Niall instantly fell asleep, but I decided to text Izzy.

IZZY'S POV

I awoke to the slight, yet incessant, buzzing of my phone. Allison was still in a peaceful doze beside me, so I quietly got out of bed and tiptoed downstairs with my phone.

Making myself comfortable in the sitting room, I opened up my phone. Matt had texted me four times. One by one, I read the messages aloud.

"Izzy, are you awake?" I am now, I thought.

"Um. There's this thing with Niall."

"Answer me, bro."

"Maybe I should sleep."

I quickly asked what was going on. He replied a few seconds later.

From Matt: Well, I'm pretty sure Niall was crying

Frowning, I stood up. I hadn't done anything to upset him, had I? Oh, well, maybe I shouldn't have pushed him in the fountain.

I looked down at my phone, but it started ringing before I could text back. It was Matt. I pressed the phone to my ear.

"What the hell did you do?" Matt screamed before I had the chance to say anything.

"I-"

"Niall is crying. I mean, he cries a lot, but still."

"Um. Well. You see, I pushed him into a fountain," I said, embarrassed.

There was a scoffing noise on the other side of the line, and I heard Niall and Matt talking.

"Why'd you push him into a fountain?" he questioned through laughter.

Matt broke out into a fit laughter. Niall took the phone from him and I heard doors shutting, so I assume he went into the hallway or something.

"Hey," he said quietly.

"H-hi," I breathed.

"I'm sorry."

My eyebrows furrowed. Why was he sorry? "You have no reason to be sorry," I said.

"Yeah, I do." He sighed, and I imagined him running his fingers through his hair. "I mean...you're a fan, and I know it seemed like I was joking when I said I liked you." He paused. "But I really wasn't."

"I-I'm sorry, Niall. I shouldn't have pushed you in the fountain...I just don't know how to act around guys, I guess."

He breathily laughed. "The fountain was fun. So...uh, would you wanna go out some other time?" he asked nervously.

"Of course!" I exclaimed.

"Oh, okay. Um. What do you want to do?"

I shut my eyes and thought for a moment, holding the phone against my neck. "Okay! I have an idea! Um...could you pick me up at six tomorrowish?"

"Yeah. I'll be there. Goodnight, Izzy."

"Goodnight, Niall," I whispered.

I ended the call, and let out a small scream when I saw that Allison was standing behind me, smirking. Her hair was a complete mess, and her hands were on her hips. She obviously knew what had just happened.

"So Niall asked you out," she said. I nodded. "And where do you plan on taking him?"

"The port," I said. Thinking twice, I added, "How did you hear him?"

"I didn't hear him. 'Of course!', isn't exactly how you reply when someone asks you to pick up their dry cleaning."

We walk back up to my room. "Um. So...you won't be going to sleep, will you?" I asked her.

"Probably not," she replied.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

I groaned and sat up, rubbing my head. My hair was extremely tangled, and I was laying on the floor beside my bed. Allison must've pushed me off in her sleep.

Laying beside me, was my phone. I picked it up and jumped to my feet when I saw the time.

"Allison!" I shouted. "Wake up! It's two o' clock!"

Allison screamed as I slammed a pillow down on her face. "What?" she screeched.

"It's two," I pointed out calmly.

She stared at me blankly for a moment. "Oh!" she exclaimed once she realized what was going on. "Let's get you ready."
