Home (1D/Olly Murs)

Chapter 12

After stepping out with Olly he looked around, spotted someone he knew, and casually walked away leaving me to mingle by myself. 

I had managed to strike up a conversation with a few different people who were big in the music industry and hopefully made a good impression on them. I was actually in the middle of talking to one of the guys from The Wanted, Nathan, when I spotted a familiar figure with brown hair spiked up and was dobled over in laughter.

"Hold that thought Nathan." I cut him off midsentence and walked towards the familiar head of hair tapping it on the shoulder. He turned around and his eyes went wide in shock.

"Abby!? What are you doing here?!" Louis asked, puzzled.

"I'll explain that later, where's Niall?" I questioned, as I scanned the crowd for him now that I had hope that he might be here.

"Probably hiding."

"Why?"

"Not sure really, this morning we got a call from management saying we needed to be at this party for some new breakout artist named Abbey Rose and Niall immediately argued about going. Said he was sick, but he obviously wasn't so he had to come anyways. The moment we got here he ran off. I think he was afraid you would come here with Olly." Louis informed me "Can't say that I blame him though." he threw in looking me up and down.

"I know I messed up Louis, but you don't understand I-"

"I understand a LOT more than you think I do Abby." Louis cut me off. I kept glancing up at the stage and they had begun to bring out a table and chairs. I was running out of time and I needed to find Niall fast.

"Louis, PLEASE you have to help me find Niall." I gripped his shoulders in desperation "I need to at least apologize and I need to do it now."

"Ok fine, he went towards the very back when we first got here so you might want to look over there." Louis indicated to a large wall that covered the back end of the venue.

"Thank you so much!" I shouted at him as I ran towards the back in hopes of finding Niall and setting things right.

Sure enough Niall was right where Louis said that he'd probably be. He was sitting in the grass just staring at the ground. As I got closer he saw me out of his perephrial vision and snapped his head towards me with hurt written plainly all over his face.

"Hey, mind if I sit?" I asked cautiously taking a few steps forward. When he shrugged I sat down beside him in silence trying to figure out what to say "I'm sorry." was all that came out.

"Ok." was his reply, he didn't even look up at me.

"Ni, I seriously screwed up. The way that I was acting and the way that I treated you was wrong."

"You think?!" he snapped at me in a sarcastic tone.

"Look I know that this is no excuse, but things just got complicated and stuff came up and running away is how I deal with my problems. So that's exactly what I did. I ran."

"What could possibly be complicated enough for you to just abandon me and the reat of the lads like that?" 

"......stuff." I told him. In the background I could hear someone doing a mic check. I was running out of time.

"What stuff?" he pressed me.

"Just stuff Niall." I tried leaving it at that, but he wasn't going to drop it.

"WHAT STUFF ABBY?!!" he shouted. He had never shouted at me before and it was scary "You know what, I don't even care. I am out of here. I am done being at this stupid radio party that is clearly for you! I am done with the games and I am done with YOU!" he exploded, beginning to storm off but I caught his arm just as the the radio host started talking.
