My One and Only (Diall/Zemi)

Chapter 6 - Hurt

Demi's P.O.V (Everything continued from last chapter)

I checked my phone for the time miserably. It's 10.30, Oh...well, I guess it's too late to go to school. And I don't want to go anyways after what had happened today.

I palmed my forehead. Uuhh. What will Niall think of me now? He must have a bad impression on me after what he had seen, even though it's not actually what it seems. I need to sort things out, I've got to talk to him.

I went to the bathroom to tidy myself up. I asked Zayn for Niall's bedroom then off I went.

I walked to Niall's bedroom, stood at the doorway, I was about to knock on the door, but then I thought to myself.

What if he's already a sleep? I may awaken him, and annoyed him.

What if he doesn't even care? But before he looked quite angry.

As I was silently debated whether I should talk to him or not, the door swung open.

It was Niall. He stood there in front of me looked at me in surprise. We both stared at each other awkwardly.

Deadly silence.

I was the first to speak. "Um...can I talk to you please?" I asked nervously and looked down to the floor.

"Sure, come in." he said calmly, acted like nothing had happened before. He stepped back and leaded me into his room. I couldn't see the expression on his face, I felt anxious.

I followed him into his room, the room looked simple and tidy, everything was neatly placed. Suddenly, he stopped and sat down at a red couch then signalled me to sit down too. I sat down next to him, and thought up a way to begin the conversation.

I cleared my throat. "Hmm... you know before, yeah? Zayn and I are innocent; it's not the way you think. I was drunk last night, and I woke up this morning on the bed...yeah..." I don't know why I am even explaining to him right now, what's my problem; it's none of my business. Why do I care if he misunderstands me?

But I looked at him and continued. "Zayn was sleeping next to me because... because...he's too scared to sleep alone." I said everything without second thought. OMG, what did I just said?! I quickly looked away from him.

What if Niall doesn't believe me? I know I shouldn't lie to him, but then, I can't tell him it's because I was holding onto Zayn and wouldn't let go. I looked back at Niall, he looked at me suspiciously raising one of his eyebrows. I know, I know, this lie was just crap.

Niall's P.O.V

I don't know why, but when I stared into her eyes, I just wanted to believe everything she said. It's obvious a lie, but I choose to believe her. I want to believe her, because there must've been a reason for her to lie. "Okay, I believe you." I said sincerely, I felt relieved, at least she explained to me, because she cared.

"Thanks." Said Demi calmly, but I saw the shock in her eyes.

"So, how's you and Tricia?" asked Demi unexpectedly.

Huh? What about me and Tricia? What does she mean?

"What about me and Tricia?" I asked confused.

"Aren't you guys going out?" She asked and gave me a look that says: I know everything.

"What? We're not." I felt puzzled.

"I'm single." I added, just to let her know.

Her eyes brightened, she looked at me cheerfully. Wait, is it my hallucination?
