The backyard

Chapter 5

Niall's POV
"Hey, lads" I look up. Zayn's smiling.
"Why so happy?" I ask.
"Oh, no reason." He says sitting down.
"Where were you?" Liam asks.
"Out."
"Out where?" He asks again
"Getting breakfast? Why are you so concerned?"
"Because I'm curious. With who? Layla? Kristina?"
He looks down.
"Layla?!"
"No."
"Kristina?!"
He clears his throat. "No."
"Your lying."
I tighten the grip on my chips
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are. You clear your throat when your about to lie."
"Fine. Yes, I was out with Kristina."
I walk out of the room, furious.
I could hear them talking about something, not bothering to ease drop.
I go to my contacts and hit 'Kristina'
It rings 3 times before she answers.
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"Niall? Is something wrong?" she asks.
"No, no. Um."
"You don't sound sure."
"Are you busy?" I ask.
"Not now, no."
"Can we talk?"
"Um, sure. Yeah." she's hesitating.
"So, I'll come over or?"
"No. I'll come over."
"I don't think that's a good idea." I say and scratch the back of my neck.
"Why not?" she asks, concerned.
"Because-um."
"Well, I'm coming over anyway."
"Don't you need-"
"No. Zayn gave it to me."
I sigh when she says that.
"Okay."
"I'll be over in 10 minutes"
"Okay." I say again.
She hangs up.
I sigh again for like the 5th time today and lay on the bed.

Kristina's POV
I walk up to the hotel. I head to the room where Zayn said they were staying at.
I knock. It opens seconds later. Zayn standing there.
"Hey, love." He smiles.
"Hey. Is Niall here? He said he wanted to talk?" His smile fades and stands there confused but let's me in.
"Niall! Kristina's here!" He yells.
He walks out of a room and makes no eye contact with anyone.
"You wanted to talk?"
"Um, yeah. Somewhere else?"
"But-"
Before I could finish my sentence he interrupts me by grabbing my arm and pulling me outside the room, closing the door behind him.
"What-"
"Why are you talking to Zayn?" He blurts out.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because I'm worried."
"About me?"
He looks down and says nothing.
"Your worried about me?" I ask, again.
He still says nothing.
"Hello? Anyone in there?" I wave my hands in front of his face.
He says nothing. Silent treatment.
I start to walk away but he grabs my arm.
"Do you like Zayn?"
I stand there in shock. I blush and look down.
"Love?"
I blush even harder.
I look up and he's shaking his head, looking away from me.
"Why do you care?"
He sighs. "Just forget about it."
He walks back into the room, leaving me to stand outside their door.
***
Me and Niall haven't talked for 2 weeks. I've gotten to know Zayn a lot more.
He asked me out on Wednesday and we went to a place called 'George's Food'
It's summer break next week so I get to spend it with him.
We come back to the hotel their staying at. He goes in first and I follow.
Harry, Liam, and Louis are all eating. Niall just sits there, not.
"Hey Zayn.." Niall starts to say but trails off when he sees me.
He looks back down at his food.
"Movie anyone?" Zayn says.
"Yes!" Louis gets up and shouts.
He runs over to the cabinet in the living room and takes out a movie.
We all take a seat on the couch some on one, others on the other couch.
I look around and only see Louis, Harry, Liam and Zayn. No Niall.
"Where's Niall?" Someone asks. Harry probably.
"Don't know. Guess he didn't want to watch a movie?" Louis says.
"He has been down for the past 2 weeks." Liam says.
"Movie!" Louis shouts.
"Alright! Calm down." Liam laughs.
He puts the movie in and it starts.
I cuddle up next to Zayn.

Niall's POV
I walk out of the room. I lay on my bed. I pick up my laptop from the other end of the bed and go through pictures of me and Kristina.
I smile at some of them. Me and her running around her backyard, food fights, playing tag, laughing, and dressing up.
I decide to FaceTime my mum.
She answers after about 3 minutes of trying to connect to her.
"Hello, love." She says.
I smile. "Hey, mum."
"Having fun?"
"Yeah.." I look down at my hands.
"You sure?"
I sigh. "No."
"It's about Kristina isn't it?"
"H-how'd you know?"
"I'm your mum, Niall. I know."
I sigh.
"What's wrong?"
I decide to confess my feelings for Kristina to my mom.
"I love her."
"Best friend love?"
"No. Love, love her."
"Then why don't you tell her?" She asks.
"Because she's with someone." My heart breaks when I say that.
"Who?"
"Zayn" my voice cracks.
"Oh, Niall. I wish I was there to hug you."
My eyes swell up with tears.
"Should I let you go?"
"Only if you have to go somewhere or do something."
"I'm going to meet Greg."
"Oh. Okay."
"I love you."
"I love you, too mum."
She hangs up and i put my laptop away. I change into sweats and a t-shirt.
I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Tears stream down my face and onto the pillow.
Soon I fall asleep.
