HeartBeat[Niall Horan]

Chapter 6

I stared at the blank walls infront of my blurred eyes. Another tear rolled down my cheek. I pulled the duvet closer to me holding on tight. 

For the past week Niall has been going out without me, telling me he was seeing mates then returns home really late telling me he lost track of time. I'm the kind of person who forgives the ones they love even if they've hurt them, mentally or physically. I'm freightened. What if Niall is seeing someone else. What if he's cheating. All these thoughts were scrunched up and jumbled in my head.

I had no idea which one to believe. Was he telling the truth or was I right all along I didn't know but I had to find out after all he is my boyfriend and I love him. However if I find he is cheating that would be the end of the line for us. I cannot put of with cheating. My past boyfriends cheated on me. It's never been because of a fight or something it was always cheating. I've had my heart broken so many times which is why I'm afraid of love. When your happy you forget your fears but when something interfears they return and bring back bad memories.

It was Thurday today, me and Niall were supposed to be having a movie night to make up for his late returns home. But he wasn't here. I already tried calling him but his phone has been switched off since four o'clock. An hour after he left. I called Harry to ask if he had seen him but he told me he hasn't spoken to him since that night at our apartment. 

I forgave Harry for what he did and we're quite good friends now. He still gets flirty at times but he's holding back for Niall's sake. I can talk to Harry about anything, he's a real good listener. I'd already explained to him about NIall coming home late and he tried helping by trying to call Niall but he didn't pick up. 

He came over last night to comfort me. That night Niall came home with a drunk ass. I texted Harry to ask him to come round, I was tired of being alone all day, I needed some company. He didn't refuse he came straight over, such a good friend.

The doorbell rang making me jump a little. I crawled out of the warm bed and stumbled to the door. I opened the door for Harry but instead of walking in he pulled out a beautiful rose. With shaky hands I took it from him and raised it to my nose.

"Thank you Harry" I whispered. A smooth hot tear escaped my eyes for the tenth time today. Harry wiped away for me before I could.

"Dont cry" He whispered. I quickly wrapped my arms round his neck pulling him into a tight hug. He held me with firm hands as we were stood on the doorstep.

"I'm scared Harry" I cried. I was shivering from the cold air now blowing through my clothes. Harry slid his hands just below my bum.

"Jump" He instructed. I did as I was told jumping up and wrapping my freezing legs round his waist. He carried me into the warm living room and placed me on the couch. He wrapped a blanket round me and sat down staring at me with those green eyes.

"Niall's an idiot for doing this to you" He spoke quietly as he took hold of my shaking hands and placed a soft kiss on the top. 

"What if he's cheating on me?" I asked Harry hugging my knees close to my body. 

"If he is he's making a big mistake" He replied this timepulling me close to him. He embraced me in a hug and I let the minty smell of him fill my nose. I always admired the smell of Harry. He raised a hand to my hair and began stroking it lightly.

"Listen Lillyan, I want you to know that whatever happens, wether he's cheating or not i'm here for you" He whispered softly into my ear.

"Thank you Harry" I looked up to meet his gaze and he brought his large hand up to cup my face and without notice he kissed me. The kiss was short but his soft plump lips felt great againts my dry ones. There was no spark though. There were no butterflies in me. It felt plain like it had no meaning. It was only Niall that brought that all out. I miss Niall so much. Whatever he is doing is clearly more important than me and that's what hurts the most. I lent back into Harry and shut my eyes to try and forget about all the possible things Niall could be doing right now. But as I did a drunk Niall burst throught the door. Both Harry's and my head snapped up to look at him. He looked terrible.

"Niall" I jumped up from the couch just in time to catch Niall as he passed out. 

"Oh my god Harry he's-"

"He just passed out he's fine" Harry huffed. Oh.

"My baby" I lifted Niall's head onto my lap as I knelt beside him end lent down to kiss his forehead. 

"Lillyan he'll be fine" 

"Yes I know but can a girlfriend not be worried about her boyfriend that just passed out?" I'm beginning to get mad now. Harry can't just expect me to be cool with it.

"Sorry" He sighed giving me an apologetic look. He should be. I really don't want to fall out with the only person that's keeping me sane. "Let's put him on the bed" Harry says as he bends down by his legs. I obeyed and put my arms under Niall to help lift him. We carried him to the bed and a layed a blanket on him."I think I'm going to bed you can stay here if you want" I smiled at Harry.

"I think i'm going to head home if you need anything call me" I nodded and he walked out the room. Once I heard the front door shut I stripped out of my clothes and into some comfy sweats and one of Nialls shirts. I climbed into bed next to Niall and shut off the light. I scooted close to Niall. He smelt of strong vodka but that didn't bother me. I just wanted to be close to him.
