BitterSweet Lies (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 33

__________________________

Harry's Point of View

__________________________

I had woken up early this morning and decided on going to the gym before we had to check out. Niall wasn't in the room, so I had assumed that everything went well with him telling Kia on how he really felt and stayed with her. 

The last thing I had expected was Todd freaking out because Niall was missing. I rush of relief came over me when I opened the hotel room to find a zombie looking figure sitting on the floor beside the bed. 

Niall looked like absolute shit if I am being honest here. His hair was a mess, clothes were dirty, and there was a strong sent of alcohol coming from his direction. 

I had never seen Niall look this horrible before. He looked...broken. I couldn't help but think his supposing talk with Kia didn't go as we all thought it would. What if she rejected him?

"Niall?" I slowly asked.

A small mumble was all I got in return. 

As I walked closer, anyone could have seen that Niall had had a long night. The dark circles that surrounded his blood shot eyes meant he had gotten zero sleep.

"Are you alright mate?" I asked as I crouched down to his level.

"Never better." Niall replied in a groggy voice, as he took a sip of the vodka bottle he was holding.

"What happened to you?" I questioned 

Niall stayed silent.

"Is it Kia?" Niall cringes as soon as he heard her name.

"Does she not feel the same way?" I ask

Niall turned his gaze away from me, taking another swig of vodka. I know something happened last night. There is no way Niall could go from being on cloud nine to looking like as if he was living in hell, within the span of 12 hours. 

As worried as I was, I needed to buy Niall some time. He need to sort himself out and shower for that matter. 

"Listen Niall, I am going to go downstairs and tell Todd to put us on a later flight. Just stay here." 

Taking the silence as an agreement, with Niall refusing to acknowledge anything but that bottle of vodka, I quickly ran down to the lobby to buy some time that Niall desperately needed. Hopefully I could also find out what exactly happened that made Niall get this drunk? 

*********

I gave Todd some bull shit excuse that Niall was too sick to travel right now, but that I'd stay back to make sure he was alright and that we'd both be on that later flight. I knew Todd wasn't fully buying the story but he was so stressed out, he had no choice but to just go with it.

As for everyone else I knew they'd be wanted answers especially Kia. She looked so worried, I couldn't help but give her a sympathetic look before leaving back up stair to look after the mess that was Niall at the moment.

Just as I left him, there was Niall, sitting in the exact same spot with a half empty bottle of vodka. I walked over to him and grabbed the bottle. Niall gave me a pissed off look as he stood up, trying to gain his balance, he grabbed onto the side of the bed.

"Give it back." He demanded

"No. It's not even noon and you're piss drunk." I replied

"Fuck off, who are you my mum?"

"No, I'm your friend Niall."

"If you were my friend, you'd give me back the damn bottle!" He fought back.

Completely ignoring him I walked over to the bathroom sink and dumped the remainder of the vodka down the drain.

"What the fuck Harry!" Niall shouted.

Throwing the now empty bottle into the trash I looked at Niall, who was trying to hold himself up by gripping the door frame.

"Cut the crap Niall, what exactly happened last night?" 

Niall ran his figures through his hair out of frustration.

 "Nothing." Niall quietly replied.

"Bull shit, obviously something happened? You left to go tell Kia how you really felt and then went off the rails mate?"

"Just drop it." 

"You can't get completely piss drunk and not expect me to ask why? You were drinking out of the damn bottle at 9 am!" I yell back at him 

Niall drops his eyes to the floor. I know he's hiding something. He is holding something in and it's obviously eating him alive. 

"Well?"

Niall stayed silent.

"Did you talk to her?"

Niall simply shook his head.

I have to admit I was relieved to know that the reason for Niall's extensive drinking was not cause by having his heart shattered by the girl he is so obviously in love with.

"Then what exactly made you do this?" 

Niall kept his gazed on the floor. I knew that he was going to talk sooner or later, and I didn't want to push him too hard.

Walking past him and I went into the closet, where I got a large towel. I threw the clean towel towards him, suggesting he should take a shower to try and sober up. 

Niall, who still was refusing to look up from the ground, simply nodded in agreement.

He and I both knew this conversation was not over. I wasn't going to give up that easily. This conversation was just beginning for all he knew, but he really did need a shower. The alcoholic smell radiating from him was enough to make me a little dazed.
