Falling For You

Back For You

Chapter 18.

*Niall's POV*

After 2 whole days of not seeing or hearing from Julia, I finally decided that even though she had cheated on me with Harry, this thing was my fault for walking out and getting drunk.

I had had a hangover yesterday and that didn't help my mood. I was still pissed at everything.

This morning I had taken a shower but that didn't help.

All I could think about was the need for more alcohol.

Stop it stop it stop it. I mentally yelled at myself. Go apologize to her. She'll forgive you.

So that's what I was doing. I was driving.

-----------

My bum was hurting after 3 hours of being in this damn car but I only had one more.

-----------

Finally.

I pulled up into the driveway and immediately got out of the car.

It felt good to stretch my stiff legs.

I walked up to the door and didn't bother knocking.

In the living room I could see Zayn sleeping and Louis trying to wake him up by messing up his hair.

That boy was the funniest thing in the universe and I unconsciously let out a giggle.

Suddenly 3 pairs of eyes were staring at me from various places on the multiple couches.

Two blue, two green, and two brown.

My confidence wavered for a second. But when they didn't jump on me I decided I was fine.

"H-hey guys." I gave a little wave.

"NIALLER!!! YOU'RE BACK!!" Louis screamed.

Harry and Liam didn't look as excited and Zayn was still asleep.

Liam walked over to me and guided me to the kitchen.

"Why did you walk out!? I thought you loved her!?"

"Please not now, Liam."

He nodded but gave me a look that clearly said, 'you better tell me later.'

When I walked back into the living room to go upstairs, Harry glared at me and gave me the finger. I returned the gesture and continued on my way.

When I got to the bathroom door, I almost didn't knock.

My fingers rapped on the door anyway.

*Julia's POV*

After two whole days of not seeing or hearing from Niall, I finally decided that even though it was him who walked out, this thing was my fault for letting Harry have control over me.

I had been cooped up in my room and I hadn't let anyone in, even Liam. I didn't want to live like this for the rest of my life, so I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

I turned on the hot water and stripped down.

I stepped in and closed my eyes as the hot water pounded on my back.

Even though it stung, I didn't turn the temperature down. I felt like it was my punishment for doing things with Harry that I shouldn't have.

After my hair was wet, I poured some shampoo into my hand and lathered it into my hair. I closed my eyes and let the shower continue to wash my pain and shampoo away.

The water kind of sounded like knocking, when it hit the floor.

That's strange.

I heard a click and cautiously opened the shower curtain enough so that I could peek through but my body was still hidden.

The last person I expected to see was there.

In the middle of the bathroom, while I was naked in the shower.
