The Fighter

Chapter Five

"Are you sure you don't want a drink?" Harry asks again. I nod my head.

"Liam I need to talk to you," I whisper into his ear making sure nobody hears me. He grunts.

"We'll be back, we need some fresh air," Liam lies as he follows behind me out the front door.

"Oh, a quickie huh?" Zayn laughs as Liam glares at him.

"What the hell am I doing here? I want to go home. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be with you!" I yell as I walk off. I'm not sure where I'm going but I need to get away from Liam. I call Niall after I get about a mile or two away from Liam's flat, at least I'm guessing its his.

"Hey, Niall? Are you awake?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Where'd you go? I was worried you might hate me." I can hear the pain in his voice.

"No, I don't hate you Niall... I just had a problem. A big one. You wouldn't get mad if I asked you for a ride, would you? I don't know where I am and I have no way home."

"Of course I wouldn't. Go to the nearest gas station and ask where you are, I'll be there in a few."

I'm probably smiling like an idiot. I didn't like Niall, but now he's becoming someone I might want to date. Niall. He's so innocent and sweet, he's really caring. I admit I'm falling for him. Maybe Ariana will finally get what she wants, me having a boyfriend.

"Nessa! Are you okay?" Niall runs to me and wraps his arms around my waist. I smile up at him and nod.

"I was worried about you! Please don't scare me like that ever again. Even if we don't date I really care about you Nessa." Niall places his lips on top of my forehead and we stay like this for a few minutes. I've never had a serious boyfriend, but if I ever do, I want Niall to be him. He finally pulls away and places his jacket around me, when he's finished he places his arm around my back and leads me to his car. He opens the door for me, something Liam never did. Ugh Liam. Why am I still thinking about him? He kidnaped me.

"If you're cold I can turn the heat up," Niall says looking at me.

"It's fine," I smile. I look down at Niall's hand on the arm rest. I notice calluses on his fingers.

"You play the guitar?" I ask as I take his hand in mine, tracing every line and callus.

"Yeah," he looks over at me and smiles, "would you like to stay at my place? It's kind of late." he suggests. Without even thinking I blurt out "Yes." For the rest of the ride we don't talk. We just stare at the road, my hand inside of Niall's. Maybe I'll give him a chance. Maybe he would be a perfect boyfriend. The door opens and I stop thinking. Niall's there beside me holding out his hand. I take it and he pulls me out of the car and close into him.

"I'm just glad you don't hate me," he whispers into my neck.

"Why would I hate you?" I laugh.

"I don't know, you left when I came back so I assumed you didn't want me," he pulled away from me and I saw the sadness in his eyes. I cupped his cheeks.

"I don't hate you, I'm sorry I left Niall." I pull him in closely and kiss him. His lips were soft and warm. I moved my hands up his shoulder and around his neck, I can feel him smiling and I can't help but smile with him. He slowly pulls away.

"We better get inside, it's cold out here," he stares into my eyes. He takes my hand and guides me into his apartment. When we get there I'm astonished by how big it is.

"You live here alone?" I gaze around the room.

"Yeah, I don't really like having roommates," he laughs. His laugh is adorable, I could hear it every second of the day, "make yourself at home." The apartment looks too big for just one person.

I walk over to the couch and take a seat, I reach for the remote and turn on the tv. It's in a soccer game. He must watch soccer a lot. I change the channel until i get to ABC Family, The Last Song is on.

"Niall, would you like to finish our date? I promise I won't leave you this time," I joke. His eyes light up and he has a big smile on his face, he quickly takes a seat next to me.

Halfway into the movie I get tired, I lay my head on Niall's lap. He seems surprised by my actions. He places his arm around me, and his other hand gently brushes my hair. If this is how a relationship with Niall would be like, I want it. He's not a kidnapper.

I wake up and hear someone singing and playing the guitar. I search the room for Niall but he's not in sight. I get up and follow the sound, when I open the door he's on the foot of the bed singing. His voice is so angelic. When he sees me he stops and puts his guitar down beside him.

"Sorry I woke you up."

"No, you're fine. You're an amazing singer Niall," I smile at him.

"Are you hungry? I'm a great cook," he changes the subject. I haven't even eaten since we were at the movie theater yesterday. The mention of food makes my stomach growl.

"Yeah. I haven't ate anything," I say. He walks up to me and kisses me, then leaves into the kitchen. I walk back to my pervious spot, the couch, as Niall cooks. I can hear him quietly hum songs. I'd love to hear him sing again. Niall comes up to me with a plate of pancakes and orange juice. He takes a seat beside me and places his arm around my back, like he did at the movie theater. When Liam was staring at us. I don't know why I can't stop thinking about Liam. He means nothing to me, I don't even know him. Niall takes my plate and cup when I finish and walks off into the kitchen to clean it.

"Tell me when you want to go home, I'll take you." he shouts from in the kitchen. I don't want to go home, I want to stay here with him. But I guess Ariana might want to see me, and plus I need some clothes.

"Now would be fine, I have to get clothes."

We pull up the the apartment and Niall opens the door for me, again. He holds my hand until we get to the elevator, then he wraps his arms around me. There's a lady and her two kids on with us. The baby she has in her arms is screaming at the top of its lungs while the other one is playing with naked Barbie dolls. I'm relived when we get out. I search my purse for my keys, but Ariana opens the door before I find them.

"Nessa! I miss you, where were you last night?" she pulls me in for a huge hug, almost knocking the breath out of me.

"I stayed at Niall's last night," I respond. Her eyes get wide and she has a big grin. I want to slap her for thinking so negative.

"Not like that." I quickly put in.

"So I guess I'll go now," Niall says.

"No, stay," I smile at him as I grab his hand, "unless you have other things to do." Ariana looks down at our hands.

"I'll be back, I need to shower." I walk off into my room and pick out a random outfit. Sweatpants and a hoodie.

"Wait Nessa come here, I have to show you something," I sigh and walk out to Ariana. Before she hands me her phone the door opens and someone walks in.
