Limitless (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 21

Mia’s POV

Over the past week I’ve watched happily as Georgia and Louis got closer, whenever we watched a movie they would sit next to each other and when we watched a horror movie and she got scared, but I don’t think she was actually scared, I think that she only wanted to be comforted by Louis, but he wasn’t complaining. I couldn’t help but be a bit jealous of Georgia but I don’t hold it against her since it isn’t her fault. I’ve also noticed the attention that I’m getting from Harry which I try to discourage but he doesn’t seem to be taking any of my hints. We have spent most of our time in the pool, watching TV or films and eating and of course sleeping, mostly by Zayn.

I wake up on Monday to the sun streaming through my window, I don’t actually remember going to bed and I would never leave the curtains open. I push back the covers and swing my legs round to the edge of the bed and stand up. I step over the sleeping Georgia as she lies on the spare mattress that I put down for her. I grab my dressing gown and pull it on as I creep out of the room, closing the door quietly behind me. I walk down the stairs not really caring what I look like since the guys have now seen me without makeup, frizzy hair the lot and they don’t seem to care so neither do I now, much, ok so I do care but right now I really can’t be bothered so they’ll just have to deal with it.

“Hey you. Did you sleep well? You were out for the count when I carried you up to bed.” Harry says as I enter the kitchen. He’s only wearing his boxers as per usual, I walk over to the fridge to get some milk.

“Yeah I slept fine thanks.” I say, moving to stand next to him as I pour my milk. “Georgia’s still fast asleep.” I say with a smile, I glance over to Harry to see him staring at me. “What?” I ask still smiling.

“Nothing, it’s just…nothing.” He sighs as he moves to the cupboard to get some cheerios and a bowl.

“Tell me.” I say after putting the milk away and turning to him. I watch as he puts the box of cheerios down and runs a hand through his curls.

“I…Mia, I…” He begins, stepping closer to me. I give him what I hope’s an encouraging look. He takes one more step closer bringing him only a matter of inches away from me, he brings his hand up and gently brushes it over my cheek.

“Harry?” I say pulling away slightly as he brings his face closer to mine.

“Yes?” He says, not pulling away even a centimetre.

“I have a boyfriend.” I blurt turning away from him and biting my lip. I shut my eyes tight before turning back to face him.

“Oh, Mia, I’m so sorry, I…I didn’t know.” He stutters turning away from me slightly and I begin to panic, I don’t want him to blame himself but I also feel really stupid since I’m not supposed to tell anyone about Niall, but maybe I’ll just not tell him who…will that make things worse when he finds out? I hope not, oh why does everything have to be so complicated? Maybe I should have just said that I’m a lesbian? Would it have been less awkward or not? Well what’s done is done and I need to tell Harry that it isn’t his fault otherwise the rest of the week’s going to be so awkward.

“Harry, it’s fine, you weren’t to know and I don’t blame you at all.” I babble as he turns to face me once more.

“No Mia, I shouldn’t have tried to kiss you, I really am sorry.” He says again giving me a small but apologetic smile.

“Well I think I should go and see if Georgia’s awake yet.” I mutter my lame excuse to leave the room. I bite my bottom lip again and leave the room only remembering my milk once I have got through the door but I wasn’t going back now, there’s too much tension in the room. I walk upstairs with thoughts about what’s just happened in the kitchen swimming around my brain, clouding my thought. I enter my bedroom completely forgetting about the sleeping Georgia that’s on the floor and I trip head first over her no longer sleeping body. My head goes straight into the side of my bed and I feel a sharp pain as my head collides with the wooden frame of my bed and I feel tears fill my now closed eyes as the pain dulls slightly into a throbbing sensation.
