Forgotten

Chapter 2

"Get out!" I say quietly. He ignores me and sits down on the couch.

"Get out!" I say louder. He still ignores me and looks at me. I groan and storm out of my room and down the stairs to where I left Louis and Zayn.

"Sorry" I mumble and sit back down. Zayn looks at me quizically.

"What just happened?" Louis asks still holding the thermometer. I shake my head and wrap myself in the blanket again.

"Nothing nevermind" I say and wipe my cheeks. Zayn wraps his arms around me. I push him away and sit in the corner. Zayn again wraps his arms around me and I can't move away considering I'm already in the corner. I give up and rest my head on his shoulder.

"Will you let me take your temperature now?" Louis asks. I nod and open my mouth. He smirks and turns the thermometer on and puts it in my mouth. I cringe and snuggle into Zayn's chest as I wait. It finally beeps and Louis takes it back.

"99.5 not horrible." Louis says. I groan and stay in Zayn's arms. "Just get some sleep" Louis continues. Zayns holds me tighter. I bury my face in the crook of his neck.

"Audrey!" Liam says walking into the room. I keep my eyes closed and ignore him.

"Liam, not now. She needs to sleep." Zayn's voice rings in my ears. I grip his t-shirt under the blanket. I hear him march away.

"Promise me you're going to talk to him later" Zayn whispers to me.

"I can't now will you just let me sleep" I mumble. He doesn't reply. I squeeze my eyes shut. Soon I fall asleep snuggled against Zayn.

-------

I open my eyes to a dark room. No one around me. I sit up as I realize I'm in the living room. There's a shuffling noise in the next room. My hands start to shake as I stand up.

I look at the time. 12:29.

I head towards the kitchen where I see a light. I step in the doorway. 

"Hey!" I hear from behind me. I screech and turn around. There stands a laughing irish bloke. I smirk and punch his chest playfully. 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He smirks. I shake my head and hug him.

"What's up is everything ok?" He asks. I nod against his chest.

"I'm hungry do you want some Oreos?" Niall asks I nod and sit down at the counter with him. He pours two glasses of milk and pulls out the box of Oreos. I smile and take one dipping it in my milk.

"Do you do this everynight?" I ask. He smirks and shakes his head.

"Not exactly every night but pretty close" He smirks. I giggle and eat another cookie. "So Zayn just left you down here?"

"I guess so. I just woke up and he wasn't there." I smirk. He laughs and chows down on another cookie.

"You don't like being alone" Niall says and points his finger at me. I raise my eyebrows.

"How would you know?" I ask and dip another Oreo into my milk. He brushes his hands together and looks at me. I do the same and turn towards him. He takes my hand in his just like Zayn had earlier today.

"Zayn left about two minutes before you woke up. You woke up because he left. You agreed to come here because you were sick of being alone. You hate Liam with a passion, no offense to him. You just wanted to be here with Louis because you finally feel like you have a friend." He says.

"How can you tell all of that?" I ask. He stands up still holding my hands.

He presses his lips against mine before whispering, "Don't worry about it." My eyes grow wide as he walks away. He just kissed me! Niall Horan just kissed me! I grab a cookie and shove it in my mouth. Well shit.

That was one hell of a kiss. It was quick but I think I liked it. I put the cookies and milk away and wash the glasses before heading upstairs.

Wait, what now? What the hell? I'm not going to be going back to sleep, so. I don't know what to do. I'll just go sit out on the beach. Yes, in the middle of the night. I grab a towel and head onto the porch. The porch is a wrap around so it's the same porch for all of the bedrooms.

I look around and notice that there's a light on. Niall. I ignore the fact and walk down to the beach. The waves crash on the shore in a rythmic pattern. I smile to myself and put the towel down.

I love the beach it's calming. And I can just think with the sounds of waves to keep me calm.

Why did Niall kiss me? We just met today. Or yesterday considering the time. Does he know everything that happened between me and Liam? I mean he wouldn't have kissed me if he did, right?

What about me and Liam though? If Niall and I are together then what will that kiss be? Because I know that that kiss wasn't a mistake. It wasn't something to be forgotten. In fact I'll never forget it. That kiss is all I think about. I can get it out of my head no matter how hard I try.

Two years have gone by and I still can't forget about it. It hurts to know that I'll always be thinking about it. Until everything is fixed that's all I can think about, all I will think about.

"Hey" I hear behind me. I turn and see Louis standing there squinting.

"Did I wake you up?" I ask. He shakes his head and sits down next to me.

"Can't sleep?" He asks me. I nod and rest my head on his shoulder.

"Too many things spinning around in my head" I mumble.

"You think to much." He says and pulls me onto his lap.

"Well, it's not like I can stop it so..." I say and look up into his sea green eyes. He smiles and kisses my no-longer burning forehead.

"Maybe Niall's right" I whisper to myself, not even realizing it.

"Right about what?" Louis asks. I shake my head and wrap my arms around his torso.

"Nothing nevermind" I tell him and bury my face in his chest.

"No what?" He asks and strokes my hair. I sigh and prepare myself to answer.

"Niall said that he could tell that I didn't like being alone. Maybe he's right. I mean, I guess I did agree to come here for awhile because of you. Not really to talk to Liam because I mean c'mon I can't. And I guess I just wanted a friend for once" I say.

"Niall said that?" Louis asks. I nod and look up at his face. Louis' grip tightens on me immensly.

"What's wrong?" I ask and grip his arm. He looks out at the water still holding me tight.

"It seems like it bothers you and anything that bothers or hurts you I'm not ok with!" He says. I smile and kiss his cheek.

"It doesn't bother me. He's right. You and I both know that I can't talk to Liam so why am I here Louis?" I ask. He looks down at me and furrows his eyebrows.

"I really hope you're going to talk to Liam even if I have to lock you two in a room together! You will talk to him! But I guess that means you are here for me." He says. I give him a small smile and nod. He kisses the top of my head and holds me to his chest.

"I sorta talked to Liam" I tell him as we look at the water.

"What! When?" He asks. I giggle and take his hand in mine.

"After you called me 'Aud' he came into my room and I told him to get out. That's it." I tell Louis as I play with his fingers.

"Well that's progress!" He smirks. I smile and close my eyes. "You should get some sleep" I nod and look up at Louis. He kisses my cheek and helps me up. After heading up the stairs Louis stops by the door to my room.

"Night Louis!" I smile. He smiles and wraps me in a hug. I lean up and kiss his cheek before leaving him for the comfort of my bed. I close the door behind me and head straight for the bed. The matress sinks as I sit down.

I have to talk to Liam. That's it. That's really all I have to do.
