Untamed Love

Chapter 15 - Tess

Chapter 15 - Tess

"Told Niall what?" Niall asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Oh nothing Niall". He looked straight into my eyes as if he was reading them. 

"Your eyes...Tess, you're lying". He grabbed my arm and led me to his room. We sat down on his bed and he said "Tess, I thought we were'nt keeping any secrets between us. What are you hiding?"

"Like I said before, nothing".

"Tess, It's not nothing. Tell me". He looked at me again. This time I read his eyes. His usual lively crystal blue eyes were almost grey-blue. They were filled with concern, hurt and disappointment. I took a deep breath and told him about my condition. I felt as if someone was listening and watching from the bathroom but I ignored it.

"There's something wrong with me Niall. I don't know what but there is. I've been to doctors, psychiatrists, but they don't know whats wrong with me. When I get too scared, overwhelmed, angry I curl up into a ball and scream and yell. And I can't stop until I feel safe"

"I can't believe you hid this from me. Tess... How do you expect me to protect you if I don't know these things? WHY TESS WHY?" His voice started to get louder and I was getting scared. 

"Niall! STOP! You're scaring me! NIALL!" Tears started to stream down my face and I felt the familiar feeling come over me. "IZ! CARA!" I yelled. It was kind of like a signal. I heard foot steps come from behind me and more foot steps comming from the door. I heard a familiar british voice telling me that it was okay. Strong muscular arms wrapped around me as I was being pulled into someones chest. 

"Shhhh...Tess. It's okay. Everythings gonna be okay". I slowly uncurled and looked up at the figure that comforted me. 

"Harry" I gasped. I hugged him and thanked him. 

"Ugh... sorry. I kinda eavesdropped from the bathroom"

I blushed and hugged Izzy and Cara. As we were walking out of Niall's bedroom I stopped and looked behind me. I saw an angry Niall that was leaning against the wall with his knees up and his arms on his knees. He looked up at me and his eyes weren't a clear blue, they weren't a grey-blue, they were grey. A deep, chilling grey. I looked at him with an unreadable expression. He returned the favour but his eyes said sorry. I bit my lip and ran back into the room.

I hugged Niall and did what I thought I'd never do. I kissed him. He was suprised as he didn't react for a few seconds but then his hand slid around my waist and my hands cupped his face. It was a slow and sweet kiss. When we broke apart Niall looked at me and said "I'm sorry Tess. I promise I'll never do that again"

"It's okay Ni". Nialls face froze and I looked at where his eyes were looking. Harry was standing there with tears in his eyes. "Niall, why?" and he ran out. Niall and I got up and ran after him. 

"Harry!" we both shouted. We stopped him at the door. I hugged him the way he hugged me but all he did was bury his face in my neck. I patted his back and felt him move. He attempted to slam me against the door but my karate skills swung into motion. I jabbed in a few places and Harry fell limp on the ground.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" He shouted. "I COMFORT YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME? YOU DONT EVEN REALIZE DO YOU TESS? I love you... I do. But when you kissed Niall... You just tore my heart out and stepped on it leaving it on the ground to bleed out"

"Harry, I-I didn't know. You may love me but...I-i"

"You don't love me. Yeah I get it"

"Harry. I love you as a friend. Not in a romantic way. I'm telling you now because the longer I put off saying it the more it's gonna hurt later on. I care about you Harry. You're like a brother to me. You all are. Liam, Louis, Zayn and you Harry. You're all my brothers. And Cara and Izzy are my sisters. I hope you and I are still friends Harry. But if not then I understand". Then I walked out leaving with Cara and Izzy. Harry lay on the ground surrounded by his best mates. 

They didn't see but as I walked out, tears streamed down my face. Harry had held a special part of my heart and thar was now gone. I think I like Niall. I did kiss him.

1 DAY LATER

I checked my phone. 11 messaged from Harry, 3 from Niall, 2 from Liam, 4 from Louis and 2 from Zayn. I opened the ones from Louis, Liam and Zayn first. They pretty much read the same thing:

Hey Tess!

I hope you're still coming on tour with us. Harry appologises and he says that he can't control the way he feels about you. All the lads and I understand if you don't want to come anymore. Say hi to Cara for me.

Love Liam

WOAHH!!

Did Liam like Cara?

Hey Tess!

I hope you're still coming on tour with us. That was really sweet what you said. That we're like brother to you. Harry is still coping but he wants you to come on tour with us still. Say hi to Izzy for me.

Love Zayn

WOAH!

Are couples gonna form on tour?

I opened the messages from Niall

Dear Tess, 

I'm really confused. To be honest I really like you and the way you kissed me yesterday gave the thought that you felt the same way about me. Um... come over today. Harry wants to talk to you and I do to

Love you xxx Niall

Time for Harry's messages. 

Hey Tess

I'm sorry about yesterday. You just really hurt my feelings. I understand that you don't feel the same way about me as I feel about you. I just want to appologise. Will you come over to Nialls place today? I need to talk to you. I promise I won't shout or anything. I just want to talk

Thanks

Harry

Um... Okay It seems like I'm going over to Niall's today. "Hey Iz? Cara? Niall and Harry want to talk to me today. So I think we're going over to Nialls. Oh and Cara do you like Liam? and Iz do you like Zayn? Cos I think you together will make the cutest couple ever!"

"Um..." they both said at the same time. 

"I KNEW IT! I think they like you back. I suggest to make a move when we're on tour"

"What do you know about dating Tess?" asked Cara

"Yeah. Oh wait... let me see. Yeah that's right. NOTHING!"

"HEY! I know quite alot of things"

"mmmhmmm sure honey. Believe what you want if it helps you sleep at night"

Hey guys!!

GUESS WHAT? I went to the One Direction Concert in Sydeny on the 26th October. Now I have post concert depression. I was literally bawling my eyes out the next day. I just really want to go back! 

Tess' condition isn't a major thing in this story. Just gonna clear that up. And for all of those people that don't read Authors Notes. Well you can keep guessing that she's gonna curl up into a ball and scream and yell

Thanks
