Who Do You Think You Are

Chapter 2 - Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see

          Niall looked up at Zayn and he nodded back. He was getting a tiny bit concerned because Harry and Stacy had fallen silent. He decided to wait for a moment, assuring himself that they were  fine, but when they didn’t return he decided to go and check up on them ‘just to make sure they’re alright,’ he told himself as he made his way down the passage-way.

Stacy’s P.O.V.

          “Please,” he said, as if he had stolen the word out of my mouth before I had a chance to speak it. He had taken me by surprise and rendered me defenseless. ‘Stupid boy’ I cursed him in my mind as I tried to break away from the power of his gaze. I felt a vibration between me and the wall and I remembered his phone in my back pocket. He was still hovered over me and when I turned my eyes away from his, they met with another pair.

Niall was standing in the doorway, for I have no idea how long. I was suddenly overwhelmed with embarrassment at the thought that he might have seen Harry and I… wait, what? I shoved a fumbling hand into my pocket and pulled out Harry’s cellphone. “Here you go,” I said, hardly beyond a whisper. The words seem to stick in my mouth caught on the taste of Harry’s kiss that still lingered. I was still wondering whether or not Niall had seen us as Harry took a step away from me and I handed him the phone. The rest of the boys joined a very awkward-looking Niall in the doorway. “Thanks,” Harry said, taking his phone from me. Then he added a quirky remark under his breath “I like this game. Maybe we can play again some time.”

Zayn’s P.O.V.

          I glanced into the living room and then back at Niall who was already turning to leave. I grabbed his arm. “Niall? You okeh?” He just nodded at me and showed no intention of hanging around so I let him pass. 

This was the very reason that I was cautious whenever Niall showed any interest in a girl. Maybe I was being a bit of a mom, but Niall was so fragile. Hopefully he would come around and realize that he’s just over-reacting. It was just a game. Stacy was just foolin around. And just because they were alone for like a few moments didn’t mean that anything had happened.
