I Will Always Love You - A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Seventy

"Where did Justin go?" I ask as I drop in between Niall's legs on the floor. I had gone up to get changed into something more comfortable -- Niall's shirt and his smallest pair of sweatpants -- to come down and find Justin gone.

"He went to get pizza," Niall says, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder. "I'm sorry..." He whispers, his breath tickling my neck.

"Why?" I ask, dumbfounded. 

"...for hurting you for my own selfish reasons. You didn't deserve it and I want to show you that I really do love you." His voice cracks at the end and a tear hits my shoulder.

"Niall, don't worry, I forgave you remember? And you forgave me. We just have to move on and forget about it. I hurt as well, but you forgave me so easily, and now I forgive you. I love you too much to let you go." A tear falls from my eye as well, and I feel one more hit my shoulder. "Please don't cry." I whisper just loud enough for him to hear me.

"I love you too, Charlie." He sniffs and wipes his tears away.

"Promise me something?"

"Anything."

"Don't yell at Josh or get angry at him. He was drunk that night and probably doesn't even remember it unless someone has told him. Please continue being great friends with him, because I love it when you two are friends. Promise?"

He sighs but promises. Right then Justin gets back and sets two boxes of pizza and a few different soft drinks on the coffee table. He goes into the kitchen and comes back a few minutes with two large bowls of popcorn.

"What are we watching?" I ask as I move from Niall's legs and lie on my stomach on the floor. Niall immediately comes over and lies on top of me as a 'mph' releases from my mouth.

"It's a secret." He whispers in my ear and I already know it is a horror movie. 

"Niall, you're crushing me." I gasp and Justin chuckles as he takes a picture. He brought his camera? He then sits the camera on the edge of the couch, the front facing us. After putting the camera on a timer and pressing the button, he decides to also lie on top of us. "Really, Justin, really?" I groan as the flash on the camera goes off.

They finally roll off me and I take in as much oxygen as I can. They press play The Woman In Black Starts. "No, no, no." I run to the couch and hide my face in the cushions while the other two laugh at me. I do my best to scowl at them.

Niall comes over and sits next to me, pulling me onto his lap. Justin puts the snacks in bowls and grabs a few cups while the ads and stupid previews are on before the movie actually starts. Justin then sits next to us and we dig in to the popcorn and maltesers.

"That was the scariest shit ever." I whimper, hiding my face in Niall's shirt. He chuckles and rubs my back. There is popcorn all over the room from me throwing the bowl at one point. Meanwhile, Justin is hiding in Niall's lap.

"You two are such wimps," Niall laughs, also rubbing Justin's back.

When I settle down I stand up and take my phone out. I turn around and take a picture of Justin still in Niall's lap. I open twitter up and tweet:

'Aw, Jiall Hieber, or whatever their bromance is called, is snuggled on the couch after watching TWIB. Scary movie, but had fun with these two. @NiallOfficial and @JustinBieber are so cute ;) x'

I add the picture and press tweet. By the time I finish Justin has come off Niall's lap and I groan. "I'm hungry." I whine, sitting down on Niall's lap.

"Stealing my catch phrase now, ay babe?" He whispers in my ear.

"Just like I stole your heart and your virginity," I whisper back seductively.

"No, I gave you the second one, remember?" 

Justin can obviously hear our conversation because his face scrunches up as he says, "Ew, too much information. Besides, we just ate."

I shrug and go to the kitchen. I settle for a bowl of cereal and it is gone within two minutes. When I go back to the lounge room the other two have set up blankets on the floor. "I thought Justin was sleeping in the guest room?"

"I was, but Niall decided it'd be more fun to chill out here." Justin explains and lies down, pulling the blanket over him. Niall does the same on the other end and I turn off the light and crawl into the middle.

"Goodnight, Justin, love you." I whisper, hugging onto Niall's torso. I do love Justin, but like a brother, nothing more, and nothing less.

"Goodnight Charlotte. Love you, too." He whispers back. "Goodnight Niall, I love you man."

"Night Justin, love you too, bro." Niall whispers back and then looks down to me. "Goodnight babe. I love you."

"Goodnight Nialler, I love you too." I whisper back, kissing his bare chest softly.

I close my eyes and fall into a deep, dreamless sleep.
