The secret side of me

Chapter 12

Chapter 12~Niall's pov

We had been walking for a while in an un uncomfortable silence I had so many things I wanted to ask but I didn't know how to say any of them. So we just kept walking. We were in front of my house now walking up the drive way to the door. I walked in first and I can't say I was shocked by the scene in front of me. I turned around as fast as I could and pushed Layla out the door and shut it on her. I turned back around to see Harry in his boxers on the couch with a shirtless girl on top of him. Good timing Niall. I shouted Harry's name but he just grunted in refusal. I grabbed the first thing I saw, a small pillow, and threw it at them before they were fucking right on the couch. The girl let out a small shriek and jumped off of Harry putting her shirt back on.

"C'mon babe." Harry said getting off the couch and pulling the girl behind him as he started to walk to the stairs.

"Don't be to loud please!" I called out after them and Harry just flipped me off. I waited till I heard his door shut and I turned around and opened the door to a very confused Layla standing right in front of me. "don't ask." I say before she can start questioning me and pull her inside.

I went and sat on the couch that was facing the tv. Layla just stood there awkwardly. I pat the spot on the couch next to me telling her to come and sit down. After a moment he finally sat down on the other end of the couch though. I didn't know what to say so I just watched whatever was on TV. I didn't know how to say what I wanted to ask her. It seemed like a bit of a touchy topic still. I didn't want her to flip. I looked over at her to see her already staring at me. as soon as my eyes met hers she looked down at the ground.

"Layla," I sighed trying to find my words." what were you doing in town today?" I said what has been on my mind since I saw her today. She finally looked up but still didn't look at me.

" I have been watching Ed." She said looking away from me.

"For how long?" I asked in a low tone.

"A while." She said not giving me the exact answer I wanted.

"Layla, what were you doing with a gun?" I asked in a whisper now. When she turned away I sighed knowing I wasn't going to get an answer. "Fine. We should go to bed It's getting late." I said turning the tv off.

Layla's pov

I opened my mouth to say something but Niall beat me to it.

"You can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch." He said. I was about to object but Niall beat me to it... again. "Layla, I'm not gonna let you sleep on the couch and I'm sure as hell not gonna let you sleep on the floor so just take my bed. I'm fine on the couch."

Niall took me up stairs to his room and got me a pair of his basketball shirts and a black t-shirt to sleep in. After I was changed I walked back into his room to see he wasn't here anymore.

I walked around his room for a little bit looking around. To be honest his room was kind of boring. There wasn't anything that interested me so after a minute longer I laid down ready to go to sleep.

It had only been maybe a minute of trying to go to sleep until I heard knocking on the wall next to me. I was confused for a moment,but then I heard moaning...

There is no way I am going to fall asleep with them being so loud! Like really Harry?really? I can't sleep right now, and I'm not just going to sit here and wait for it to be over. I got out of bed and tip tied downstairs and into the living room. Niall was laying on the couch that apparently, pulled out into a bed... didn't know that.

He was staring at the ceiling not even knowing I walked in. I cleared my throat loudly. He looked over at me startled.

"What are you doing down here?" He asked confused.

"They're being loud... I can't sleep."

Niall's pov

Crap. I had totally forgotten about them. Her poor mind having to hear all of that... I would know. Now I feel really bad.

"Well you could sleep down here I guess." I said scooting all the way over on the bed so she had pretty much the whole thing.

"I'm not gonna sleep with you." She said quickly.

"Well you could go back upstairs." I suggested sarcastically. She shook her head hastily. I chuckled slightly. "don't worry I'll keep my hands to myself. You can trust me."

She looked down muttering "I don't know who I can trust anymore." under her breath probably in hopes that I wouldn't hear and I almost didn't. Then she slowly walked over to the other side of the bed getting in but keeping a lot of distance between us. she turned the other way not looking at me. after a minute of silence I spoke up.

"Layla, I know you probably won't believe it and will ignore it but I want you to know that you can trust me. What ever happens you can trust me. You can always trust me." I said looking at the back of her head waiting for her to turn around or something.

"Layla, if your even listening, after that day when I decided to follow you to that alley, I was dragged into your life. I'm sorry for that. But there's nothing I can do now. I'm apart of this. This isn't going to end after this plan of yours. Nick told me this so I want you to know that you can always trust me. Even if there is no one else, there will always be me." After I finished my little speech there was silence. She must be asleep.

"They've changed you Niall." She said after a long pause.

"You changed me." I said " And I'm happy."

She laughed lightly. "I'm not sure that something to be happy about."

I shrugged." guess not." She didn't say anything and after a while longer her breathing had steadied and I could tell she had gone to sleep. And not long after I did as well.
