Black Bird

So Niall hasn't talked to me for a week. He's not looked at me ether. He wants nothing to do with me and moms are really worried and confused.

They don't understand. They don't know why Niall hasn't said a word to me since last week. He doesn't even sit at the chair at the dinner table next to me anymore.

He's being a baby I think. A big baby.

"Louis take this up to your brother." Mama asked handing me his laundry basket.

"No mama." I said shaking my head.

"Louis take it up to Clover."

"Mama I don't want to."

"Why?" she asked getting upset. "Why are my boys so mad at each other that you guys haven't talked in a week!"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Well you're going to talk about it."

I sighed and once I sighed the tears just flowed out of me.

"Awe Louis no." she said and rushed to hug me. "Honey what's wrong?"

"Niall hates me."

"Why darling?"

"Because I said that what Harry and Liam did to me was more painful then someone threatening him with a knife and fat camp."

"Oh Louis." she said and kissed my head. "Why did you tell your brother that his problems don't matter?"

"Because I'm hurting. My problems matter right now."

"Stop being so selfish Lou." mama said and stopped hugging me. "Your brother has been to hell and back too. Stop making this all about you okay? But I know what you went through was horrible and I would be acting just like you, but you have to move on. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?"

I didn't say anything.

"Right?" she asked again raising her eyebrows.

"Right." I nodded while sighing.

"Now go take the laundry up to your brother."

"No."

"Louis William Tom-" she started with an angry tone.

"Kidding." I smiled.

"You jerk." she laughed and then punched my arm playfully.

I laughed and then walked up to the attic. I then took a breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" I heard Niall yell.

I then broke again.

I haven't heard my brothers voice in so long.

"Niall." I said as my voice cracked and the door swung open.

"Lou." he said and ran to me.

I dropped the laundry basket and jumped into my brothers arms.

"I'm sorry." I said crying into Niall's neck. "I'm sorry I was acting like a dick head. I'm sorry I was being so selfish. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." he cried holding me tighter. "It's okay."

I hugged him tighter and we stayed like that for a little while. We stayed in each others arms and just cried.

I haven't heard him talk in a week, look at me in a week, or even high five me in a week. I really missed him and I just broke when I heard him. I need my brother.

Niall finally let go and wiped his eyes.

"God Lou." he said laughing a little.

I smiled and wiped my eyes too.
