Music Saves Lives

Chapter Thirty-Seven

I thought I might as well update. I just want to say thank you to everyone who reads this. It's strange to think some people might actually enjoy my writing maybe just as much as I enjoy writing it. I know I dont get crazy amounts of reads or votes and i dont get comments, but i appreciate those of you who are reading and following along with me. I'm sorry I don't update every day or even every week like other authors on this website, but I try my best. 

The rest of the night was okay. Niall calmed me down and I was able to go back into the living room. The boys didn’t say anything about what just happened. We all eventually started singing songs and Niall and I played our guitars and he taught me some of their songs and I taught him some of mine. We all cracked jokes and laughed. It was like they were all my best friends. Being with them, made me miss my band, because this how we were too.

It got really late and all the boys finally left. I felt sad seeing them go. I wasn’t going to see them again for a while and then I remembered I would be doing the same thing with Niall soon. I knew saying goodbye to him would be even worse.

Niall and I got into bed and I instantly latched onto him. I knew sometimes he liked distance when we were sleeping but tonight I felt like I just needed him as close as possible, so I knew he was really there and really mine. I think he knew that too, because his arms and legs tangled around me. I never wanted to leave his arms.

Niall was warm when we woke up. He had rolled onto his back and I was on top of him.

“Hey, beautiful.” He mumbled, sleepily.

I kissed his lips gently and rested against him. “Can we go out today? Maybe shopping? then lunch?”

He laughed. “Are you sure? And shopping? Really?”

I picked my head up off his chest. “Yes shopping and don’t worrying I’m not going to make you wait for me to try clothes on.”

“Fine, but you sure you don’t want to stay in? What about the paps?” he started to sit up.

I rolled off of him and sat up too. “I don’t care.”

I really just wanted them to see how I was with someone I was actually in a relationship with. They need to see that that day with Tanner was not me being flirty. I was just being a friend and he was being my friend.

Niall and I showered together, again. We got dressed and ate something for breakfast. We got into his car and I plugged my phone in. “How to Love” by Lil’ Wayne started playing and I started to sing to Niall in Lil’ Wayne’s voice, causing him to laugh and shake his head, but he joined in as well. I picked Niall’s phone out of the cup holder and started recording us. Niall kept his eyes on the road as he sang in that silly voice and I moved the camera from him to me a few times. When the song ended and we pulled up to a stop light, I couldn’t stop laughing. I looked at him and kissed his cheek, then put on the next song. We continued to sing in strange voices, until we found somewhere to park once we were at the mall.

I wasn’t surprised that the paps found out we were here. It didn’t take long. Niall and I were walking from store to store and as I promised I didn’t make him wait for me too much. We were in Calvin Klein because Niall said he needed new boxers and t-shirts. Someone bumped into me while I was looking at shirts and they snickered before they glared at me and walked away. I assumed they were a fan of Niall’s, so I didn’t make a deal out of it. Niall and I just went to a few more stores and I admit I didn’t know what most of them were, but Niall told me which places I would like.

Once we were done, we were heading out of the mall, carrying bags and holding hands.

“Are you guys staying strong through the cheating rumors?” A man yelled, holding his camera in our faces.
