Never Leave My Side (A Niall Horan Story)

Never Leave My Side (Chapter Nineteen)

*Niall's Point Of View*

"Hey Liam, what's up?" I asked sitting next to him. 

He didn't say anything. He just looks at me with a sideways glance, and looks away again. He looks so exhausted. He gets less sleep than any of us. Management keeps him up all the time, talking about what's going on, because they know he's the more responsible one in the group.

"You look completely knackered mate." I said patting his leg.

Still he says nothing. A few seconds later he leans over and rests his head on my shoulder and closes his eyes. Thus, confirming my statement. 

I don't say anything, and I don't move. Instead, I adjusted my shoulder to make him more comfortable and don't move. I just stayed as quiet as possible. A few more minutes passed by, and Liam's breathing has slowed down and soft snores escape him. Good, he really needs some sleep. 

Gently, I lifted his head and stood up. I carefully put him in a laying position on the couch and set his head down. Walking to a chair I picked up the blanket, spreading it over him.

I turned towards the door, about to walk out.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

I spun around on my heels. It's Liam's phone. He started moving around on the couch. I ran and picked it up, answering immediately. "Hello?" I whispered, until I walked into the hallway.

"Liam? It's management." The said. 

Of course it was. "Actually, this is Niall. Liam's asleep, he's exhausted. Anything I can do?" I asked hopeful.

They sighed. "Well, we were hoping to get Liam." 

Obviously, if they called his phone. I'm annoyed now. "Can't you talk to us lads too? We aren't exactly useless you know! You can't keep working Liam so much, he barely sleeps anymore. Can't you let him have a rest? Us boys are here too. Now. Tell me what it is you called for, and I will do my best to help." 

They were whispering amonst themselves. "Alright Niall. We've booked an interview for you and the other boys tomorrow evening. We had other things going for today, but we're cancelling them. You're right. You boys need to get some rest." They finally said.

I smiled. They've finally listened for once. "Great. Now give me the details for tomorrow night, so I can share them with the lads." I said grabbing a pen and paper. I wrote down everything they said. "Great... Yeah... Thanks. Bye!" I said before hanging up.

Finally, they'll let up on Liam now. Poor lad can never catch a break. I hope they follow through with letting us boys know what's going on. 

I wrote a small note on the top for Liam, and quietly snuck back into the room. I froze when Liam started stirring around a lot. I hope he doesn't wake right now, he needs his sleep.

Whe he stilled, I tip-toed to the coffee table, placing his phone and the paper with the note next to it. I smiled before walking out. Maybe he wont be so grumpy if he gets some sleep.

*Louis' Point Of View*

This is going to be great! I'm walking through the halls of our hotel, smiling to myself. This will make him think before he makes me shower with cold water again. He know's I hate that!

"Hey Lou!" Harry yells to me, running to catch up.

"Oh. Hey Haz." I reply, trying to hide my excitement. 

"What's in the bag you got there?" He asked trying to snatch it away.

I help it tightly to my chest. No one must no! "Nothing. This bag has nothing in it." I lied. I knew he could tell. The bag wasn't exactly flat.
