Take Me || Niam

Chapter Twenty Four

Niall's P.O.V

Slowly opening my eyes I hear faint voices. Not being able to make them out I sit up at a slow rate, not trying to move to fast. Yawning I stretch, sighing in satisfaction as I feel my back crack. Grabbing my phone I press the home button bring the phone to life it reads, 1:45 am. Getting up I move toward the voices, listening closely.

"You're a real piece of work you know that Liam? You hurt him!" I hear an enraged Jenna.

"If I recall correctly, it's my life and my business, not yours." Liam's voice is pure anger. "And who the fuck at you to tell Niall something like that? I haven't told him for a reason!" He yell whispered.

"He loves you, and he trusts you with his life! You know what he went through with his ex, and now all your doing is putting him through more shit." Jenna yells back.

"You don't think I know that? It's just hard for me to express myself! You and Tyler both know that! Niall means everything to me, I wanted to tell him something like this on my own time! And for your fucking information that baby is not mine!" Liam spat, a pair footsteps now heard from the other side of the door. Freezing I expect Liam to emerge from the room.

"Liam," I suddenly hear Tyler's voice, "you fucked up. I know you didn't cheat, but maybe, if Niall means as much to you as you say he does, start being honest with him. A relationship doesn't work without trust and honesty." Tyler finishes.

My heart starts to beat faster as I realize I'll be met with Liam in a moment as I hear the door knob turn. I watch him carefully as he has yet to notice me. He shuts the door harshly as I stand at the end of the corridor, staring at him. He looks up and our eyes catch in the dimly lit hallway, stopping in his tracks, mouth open slightly but no words come out. I want to say something to him, but nothing comes out from my mouth either. I need to stay strong, I know Liam's hasn't done anything wrong, but he kept something big from me. When he says sorry I can't just say 'it's okay', because it's not, I love him, but I don't want us to be like this, I don't want him to feel as though he has to keep thinks from me.

"Niall, I," he starts but stops soon after. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, and it may seem big, but it's really not. That's my past. You, you're my present and future." He takes a few steps closer. "I understand if you're upset with me, it's okay. But can we go home, please. If you want to talk about it we can do it there." Liam sighs moving has hand forward rest it against his cheek but I move out of his reach, my heart clinching as I see the hurt in his eyes. But I have to stand my ground. I turn around to walk out of the house without saying goodbye to Jenna or Tyler. I quickly walk to the car getting in the passenger side. Liam walks slowly with his head down and hands in his pocket. Getting in he starts the car. It's a quiet ride back to his house. Am I making a big deal out of nothing? I do have a right to be upset, don't I? I was under the impression that Liam and I told each other every, I told him everything. And so what if the baby wasn't his, so what is she's his ex and he almost proposed to her, sure it would have been nice to know but the thing that really bothers me is that Liam didn't tell me who she was, he said she was nobody. He could have told me who she was, sure I would have been erie about the whole thing, but I love him and I would have trusted that he wouldn't have done anything to hurt me. Lost in thought I didn't even notice we had arrived back home until I heard Liam calling my name to tell me we were there. Getting out of the car I walk slowly behind Liam. Once were inside I stay stood by the door, Liam standing opposite of me his back turned away.

"Do you wanna talk about it." He hear him whisper, I can hear a hint of uneasiness as he speaks.

"Why?" I breathe slowly, "why didn't you just tell me who she was?"

"I... I couldn't just tell you I was going out with my ex. I mean, now that you found out look at where we are." He says, I try not to give into him.

"I would have been okay. But the way you just wrote it off when I ask who she was. If Jenna hadn't have told me I would have been clueless, would you have cheated on me?" I looked up at the back of his head. My words making him turn around.

"You really think I would cheat on you? After all you've been through, you think I would want to put you through that again? Niall, I love you. And honestly I've never felt the way you make me feel. It's hard for me to show how I feel. I went to dinner with her because me and her had been talking on and off for the past 6 or so months, I would fly her to London sometimes. And-" I interrupt.

"We're you talking to her while you and I have been.." I asked in disbelief motioning between the two of us. I can't believe him, all this time I thought we had something, but no, he's been fucking some slut?

"No! God, no Niall! From the moment you walked into my office at your interview I fell for you. I began ignoring her calls and texts. I only went out with her tonight to end things for good." He rushed out, a tiny bit of relief spread through me. At least while we were together he wasn't talking to her.

"What about the baby she had?" I question skeptically.

"She was cheating on me, it's not mine. I swear to you Niall, if I have children with anyone," he paused making eye contact with me "it's gonna be you. You're the only one I can see myself with in the future." He said causing my breath to hitch.

"Liam-" I stop myself, not knowing what to say.

"I'm sorry, Niall. I don't mean to hurt you. I really don't, it's just my past relationships have fucked me up and it's hard for me to know when I've taken it too far sometimes. And it's hard for me to open up. I'm sorry I haven't been open with you, I'm just afraid I'm going to lose you." Against my better judgement I move closer to him, reaching my hand up to hold his cheek in my hand softly.

"Liam, I'm here for you, no matter what. You're not going to lose me. If anything I'm scared of losing you. You can tell me anything, I'm your boyfriend. You shouldn't feel as though you have to keep things from me in order for me to stay with you. I'm in it for the long run. You make me happier that anyone I've even know, please don't be afraid your going to lose me. I love you so much." I said, a tear escaping Liam's eyes, frowning I wipe it away.

"I'm sorry." Liam whispers leaning into my hand. I can honestly say it hurts to see Liam like this. "I know it would be easy for me to say let's not fight and let's just go to bed but seriously baby, we can talk more about it tomorrow if you want, but let's just go lay down." He said, voice tired, shoulders slumped, head resting in my hands. All I did was bring my hand away from his, looking up at him with sad eyes, walking away from him. Trudging up the stairs, I walk into our closet in the bedroom pulling all my clothes, by my briefs, off. Pulling one of Liam's hoodies off a hanger, I throw it over my head. Pulling the covers back I slip in, breathing slowly. Liam hasn't come up yet, I think as I lay on my back staring at the ceiling. Turning on my side to face away from the door. I toss and turn for a good hour before I hear Liam coming into the room. I shut my eyes evening out my breathing. I hear Liam shuffling behind me. Eventually the bed dips, and I feel Liam beside me, bringing extra warmth.

"I'm sorry, Niall." I hear him sniffle, I want to turn around and tell him it's okay but I don't. I feel his arms go around me slowly, I try to keep myself from tensing up. I stay relaxed as I feel Liam's warmth. After a few minutes I feel myself falling asleep.
