Trust { Niall Horan }

Chapter 15

Riley's POV

I was woken up in the middle of the night by loud banging on the door so I sat up to check the time and saw that it was 3am. "Go away!" I shout before I snuggle up closer to the warm body beside me. Who the hell could it be at this time.

I was trying my hardest to ignore the knocking since it wasn't even waking Niall up but the person just wouldn't go away. "Okay damn I coming." I spat forcing myself out of bed before grabbing one of his hoodies that was laying around and slipping it on.

Once I reached the door I could hear a voice and it sounded like Jase. I decided to open the door and when I did I found a drunken Jase who was being supported by Liam. Of all the damn people it just had to be Liam.

"Oh uh...hi.." I stutter looking at him, "Sorry to wake you but Jase is wasted off his ass and I couldn't leave him to go home with some random girl." Liam had walked into the apartment now and was headed over to the couch to lay Jase down but I caught him before he did.

"His room is right there." I say pointing to the door on the right side, I didn't want Jase sleeping on the couch. "Thanks." Liam mumbles before he basically drags the drunken boy to his room.

Shortly after Liam reappears, I can tell that he's a little drunk as well by the way he stumbles as he walks. I knew he had drove here because I could see his car from the window. There was no way I was going to let him drive home. He could sleep on the couch here for all I cared and I'd explain everything to Niall later.

"So uh I'm gonna go now. Just wanted to make sure he got home okay." Liam says to me as he heads over toward the door to leave. I rushed over to the door and lock it, "I can't let you go. You've been drinking as well. Please just sleep here tonight so I know you're safe." I say this quickly hoping he won't try to argue against me with anything.

Liam was watching me closely before he finally answered me. "Alright, I'll stay." He sighed, "But I don't want any trouble from Niall in the morning." He says before he stalks over to the couch to lay down and go to sleep. He had pulled his shoes off along with his shirt, and then pulled some covers over him soon letting sleep over take him.

I left some water and aspirin out for Jase and Liam before I went back to bed. I was beyond tired and just wanted to cuddle back up next to Niall and sleep a few more hours.

When I walked back into the bedroom Niall was awake. Looks like I'd be telling him sooner than later that Liam was here. "What are you doing up love?" His voice was husky, he must've just got up.

I sat down on the bed next to him crossing my legs. "Jase came home drunk off his ass so I let him in but uh the person who brought him home is staying until morning because he was drunk as well." I say this quickly looking away from Niall biting my lip. I need to tell him that it's Liam.

Niall watches me closely before speaking, "Okay well who's the person then??" He questions as he yawns slightly, he was still sleepy.

I brace myself for the shit storm that's about to come as I let his name slide from my mouth. "It's Liam." I felt his body tense up beside mine and I just knew he was pissed off over this.

"Ni, before you start yelling or whatever please understand that he's drunk also. I couldn't let him drive home. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to even though he's been an ass to me." I was starting to panic when he was chuckling softly, I thought he was really pissed off.

Niall shakes his head before he gently pulls me onto his lap, "Love I'm not upset if that's what you're thinking. At first I was but I know how caring you are so I understand that you'd be worried if he drove home." He says this as he wraps his arms around my waist holding me close to him.
