Music Saves Lives

Chapter Fifty-One

(y/n’s POV)

The whole day I contemplated what I would tell Niall when he got home. I knew I had to tell him the truth as to why I wasn’t ready, but I wasn’t sure how he would react. I was scared he would get mad, but it was Niall and he should understand where I’m coming from. I had called Perrie earlier and she thinks I’m just overthinking everything but Niall knows me better.

I was sitting on the couch in a t-shirt and a pair of old jean shorts. I was flipping through channels when Niall called.

“Hello.”

“Hey (y/n), Harry and I just got some food, do you want me to bring you something for dinner?” he asked.

“Yes, please. I’m starving.” I groaned.

“Okay, I’ll get you something good.”

“Thank you. Will you be home soon?”

“Yes. I just need to order your food and pay and I’ll be on my way.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting.” I smiled to myself.

“Okay, I love you.”

I bit my lip. “I love you.”

We both hung up and I waited for him Harry and Niall to pull up in the driveway. As time passed I checked outside every few moments. I heard a door slam so I got up and ran outside. Once I saw Harry’s car, I walked down the steps and over to the car. Niall smiled at me and held up a food bag. I grabbed it from him and kissed his cheek.

“Thank you.” I walked over to Harry’s side because he got out of the car and gave him a hug. “Thanks for listening to me last night.”

He nodded. “It was no problem.” He whispered. “Just talk to him. Everything will be alright. I think he gets he’s overreacting too.” I nodded.

“Had fun today, Haz.” Niall waved, as he got his bag and headed towards the house.

“Same here, pal.” He smiled and hugged me once more. “Let me know if you need anything.”

“Okay. Bye Harry.” I smiled and followed after Niall.

I closed the door behind me and brought my food into the kitchen where Niall was getting a glass of water.

“What did you get me?” I asked, pulling the food from the bag.

“Just a chicken sandwich and chips.” He took a sip of water. “I mean fries.” He smirked.

“Thank you, Niall.”

He shrugged. “It’s the least I could do. I was a complete asshole last night.”

I sat down and unwrapped my food. I started munching and Niall sat down across from me. It was awkward. He felt so far but he was right in front of me. I finished my food fast since I didn’t really eat much at all today. I got up to throw out my garbage and stood by the counter.

“So are we going to talk about last night.” I crossed my arms over my chest.

“Yes, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have asked you to marry me. I know you’re not ready.” He stood in front of me, leaning on the island.

“That’s not the only reason I got mad.” I spat. “You think that I’m just going to up and leave you. I thought you trusted me.”

“I do trust you, its other people I don’t trust.” He looked down at the floor.

“Like who?” I cocked my eyebrow.

“I don’t know! Maybe Tan or Mark or anyone who is around you. Hell maybe even Ryan sometimes.”
