Together [Sequel to Love Actually]

Chapter 35

I woke up the next morning, to someone shaking me frantically. When my eyes opened, Niall's bright blue eyes were looking at me nervously.

"What did we do last night Scarlet? I woke up, and I'm not wearing pants, and you're with me, and oh my God Harry is going to kill me. I am so sorry." Niall said.

"Niall, calm yourself okay? Nothing happened. You were really drunk, and you were vomiting, so I came in to see if you were okay. You wanted to sleep here, because you didn't know if you were going to puke again, so I stayed with you. I was cold, so you pulled me onto you so I wouldn't be. Nothing happened." I said.

Niall's face washed over with relief. "Okay." He said nodding.

I smiled at him, and just the bathroom door flung open. It looked bad. I was sitting quite close to a nearly naked Niall, and of course Harry had to be the one to see it.

"What is going on!?" Harry shouted.

"Nothing! Harry I swear nothing happened." I said.

"Like I am going to believe that, as my best friend is pretty much naked, alone with my girlfriend on top of him." Harry spat out.

"If you let me explain, you won't be so mad." I said.

"Save it." Harry said.

He turned, and walked out. I heard the bus door slam shut, and knew that he had left. I didn't go after him. He was really angry with me right now, and he needed his space.

Niall looked at me.

"This is my entire fault." He said shaking his head.

"It's no one's fault Ni. Nothing happened, and I'll explain that to Harry when he comes back and calms down." I said.

I got up from the bathroom floor, and walked over to my bunk. Harry had left his phone in it, and I couldn't even call him to see where he was. This made me a bit nervous.

When I turned around, Louis was fuming behind me.

"What did you and Niall do?" He asked trying to stay calm.

"Louis, you need to listen to me, and you need to believe me." I said.

Louis unclenched his fists, and loosened up a little.

"Just tell me, and don't bother lying, I'll see right through it." Louis said.

"Niall was sick and puking when you guys got home last night. I went in the bathroom to see if he was okay, and like take care of him I guess. When he finished puking he was really tired, and he laid on the bathroom floor in case he needed to puke again later. He asked me to stay with him, and I did so he wouldn't be alone. I was cold, so he wrapped his arms around me, and we fell asleep. He was in his boxers because he had been in his bunk before, and he got up puking. Nothing happened I swear." I said, in a pleading tone.

Louis looked at me for a long time.

"Okay, I believe you." Louis said.

"Thank you." I said, sighing with relief.

"Where is Harry?" Louis asked.

"He left his phone." I said.

"Well, then we are going to walk the streets until we find him." Louis said.

I nodded, and went to get dressed. Louis and I got ready, and then hit the streets in search of Harry. We walked around for hours, and had absolutely no luck in finding him. I was getting really nervous and upset; I just wanted to know if Harry was okay.

"Scar, let's go back. He'll be back soon." Louis said.

"I want to keep looking. I need to know that he's okay." I said.
