Changes (A Niall Horan romance)

Chapter 11

*Athen's P.O.V.*

I stalked down the stairs, anger boiling my blood. Niall was following me, I could tell he felt guilty but I didn't know why. I didn't have enough  control over my power yet to tell but there was definite guilt.

I stepped into the view of the three other people in the house. I felt confusion, suprise and a feeling I was still new to me. Love? I don't know who it was coming from or who it was towards. 

So many emotions were running through me, I almost felt overwhelmed.

"A.J? What are you doing here?" Dakota spoke first. She felt nervous, I understood why, I scared the shit out of her. 

"I came to talk to Niall." I replied, stopping a few meters away from them. Not wnating to scare them more or test my self control.

"Athena look I came here tonight to apologize. I was wrong, I didn't make the best choices. I'm sorry." Gabby burst. I could feel the honsety and worry pulsing from her. That didn't make me budge though. She had fucked up bad.

"That's it? After 5 years. 5 years! You want to apologize now?" I spat. My temper rising even more. Niall set a hand on my shoulder, his touch calming me. 

"I'm Sorry! I screwed up bad I know! Just let me try to make it up to you! Please." She begged, her eyes pleading.

I fought the urge to give in, knowing I'd regret it. I looked at her, feeling her nerves twist and turn with anxiousness.

I let out a deep sigh, running my hands through my hair, I did that when I was stressed. 

"You have a lot of work cut out for you." I grumbled

Relief flooded through her at my response.

I shook my head, making the pain had hightened throughout this short conversation. I couldn't handle so many emotions flowing through my body.

I felt Niall sling his arm around my shoulder, his touch calmed my nerves a bit. It was amazing the effect he had on me.

Jealousy spread through me instantly, anger at Niall catching me by suprise.

"Liam why are you so angry at Niall?" The words slipped out with out permission, catching everybody off gaurd, including me.

"W-what do you mean?" He stuttered nervously. His cheeks flushed pink and his attention turned to the floor.

Niall pulled his touch away from me, guilt flowing through him once more.

"What is going on?" I asked annoyance hinting in my tone.

"Can we talk about this later? This is a private conversation to have." Liam said, he was trying to push his nervousness down.

"Okay, Gabby, Dakota out." I ordered. They almost objected but thought better of it. The memory of last time I was angry probably still fresh in their minds. I felt curiousity pile onto the heap of emotions that was already weighing heavily on my mind. 

"I'll explain what happened, later." I whispered to them as they walked out. They nodded, dissappearing out the door.

Liam's nerves rose to the surface. Niall looked down, his guilt growing the seconds ticked by.

"Tell me." I said narrowing my eyes.

"What about Niall?"

"Your anger towards him makes him a necessary third party to this conversation."

" Wait how do you know I'm angry at Niall?" I could see he was despratley trying to change the subject, though there was still curiosity.

"Later. Tell me." I repeated. Crossing my arms over my chest, waiting.

"I-I- uh- I-um..." He couldn't get the words out.

"He's in love with you! He has been for the years. That's why I felt guilty." Niall exploded.

"Oh, great." A third voice entered our conversation.

I turned, Harry was standing in the doorway. His emotions were just as scrambled as mine. Though the most pronounced emotions was anger.

Harry has always been like my over bearing protective big brother. So that hightened caused him to turn a little bal of anger into a giant ball of fury, plus he could tell what was going on in every single one of our heads. He knew what had happened in Niall's room, just a little bit ago.

Harry, do not over react. I can handle this.  I thought. His attention shot to me, eyes blazing. 

"Really? Don't over react?" he growled.

You are only feeling like this because your emotions are hightened. Just leave it alone.

He rolled his eyes, striding over to me. I felt his protective side grow with each step he took towards me. 

 Jealousy flared up but it didn't belong to me. It was Liam again.

"Jesus Liam! I know your in love and all but stop with the jealousy! Its Harry. He's like my brother, you know this!" I finally exploded. Every emotion burst from me, the anger from Harry, jealousy from Liam, guilt from Niall and my own emotions. 

Suprise from my out burst seeped into everyone around me. 

Hurt flowed into Liam. His eyes traveled to the floor. I instantly felt bad. 

"Liam I'm sorry, its just a lot is going on and-" he cut me off.

"Just- Don't." He kept his head down as he pushed passed me, walking out the door. 

Great this is just what I need
