Always Yours {n.h} COMPLETED

Chapter Eleven

I sat there on the bed frozen for what seemed like hours.  I looked back at my phone, but decided I needed to talk to him in person.  I went upstairs, and knocked on his door.  "Come in."  A familiar Irish voice said.  I took a deep breath and walked in.  "Hey, Niall."  He looked up at me.  "Hey."  I could tell he was about to pee himself he was so nervous.  "So, I saw your text, and decided to come up here and talk."  "Ok."  Is all he could say.  "So, when we were in your closet and I told you I liked you..."  "I was going to say that I liked you too, but  if we were to go out then we couldn't tell management."  I'm such an idiot.  I'm such an idiot. I'm going to kill myself when I get out of here.  "So you still like me then?"  I asked, and he nodded.  I took a deep breath.  "Look, Niall.  I'm kind of going out with Harry at the moment...could you just give me a day to work some things out?"  "Yeah."  He nodded.  "I probably shouldn't have said anything..."  "No, I'm glad you did."  I smiled at him and stood up.  "I'll see you in the morning.  Goodnight, Niall."  "Goodnight, Ashley."  I went back downstairs, and into Harry's room.  He still wasn't out of the shower.  My Lord, he takes long showers.  I got my phone out, and when I turnd it on, it was still on that text from Niall.  'I'm completely in love with you.'  I loved Harry, right?  I thought I loved Niall before though.  Harry walked out of the bathroom without a shirt on, like always.  This really isn't helping my decision.  "Hey, babe."  I smiled back at him.  "Are you tired?"  "Yeah, a little bit."  He shook out his head like a wet dog before sitting down next to me.  "Let's watch t.v."  "Ok."  I leaned over on him, and quickly fell asleep.  

Harry's P.O.V.

I turned on some hallmark movie, and she leaned over on me.  I knew she was asleep, because she was breathing heavily.  *buzz buzz*  Her phone lit up.  It was right beside her, so I grabbed it and read the text.  'From Niall: Thanks again for talking.  Goodnight.'  Talking?  What were they talking about.  I, being nosey, went through her texts with him, and saw one that caught my eye.  'I'm completely in love with you.'  I can't believe this!  He knows were going out.  Why would Niall do this to me?  I looked over at Ashley, and wondered what she would say back to him.  Maybe she has feelings for him?  Maybe not.  I'm probably just over exaggerating.  I rolled over, and wrapped my arm around her. "I love you...Niall."  She mumbled in her sleep.  Crap.

Ashley's P.O.V. 

I woke up the next morning to the bright sun shining in my face.  I reached for my phone, but it was in between our pillows.  I turned it on, and it was on a text from Niall.  It said, 'Thanks again for talking.  Goodnight.'  That's weird...why didn't my phone show that I had a new message?  Oh, whatever.  I'm lucky if it gets texts half the time.  I turned over to see Harry, who was now awake.  "Hey, Harry."  I smiled.  "Hey."  I could tell something was wrong, but I didn't say anything.  "You hungry?"  "Yeah a little."  I stood up and went into the kitchen.  I got two bowls of Lucky Charms and went back into Harry's room.  "Here you go."  I handed him a bowl.  He started eating it, and finished way before I did.  "Ashley?"  "Yes?" I mumbled with a mouthful of cereal.  "Are you...in love with Niall?"  I looked up confused.  "I saw your texts on the phone."  I should've deleted those...I looked down at the ground, and was about to say something when Harry interupted me.  "I think we should break up.  I don't want to, but you obviously like Niall, and I don't want to be in the way."  "I...Harry..."  He smiled sadly at me.  "Ashley, this is for the best.  I would still love to be your friend though."  I half smiled at him.  "Thank you, Harry.  You're the best."  He hugged me, and I walked out to the kitchen.  Everyone was in there, and I motioned for Niall to follow me when no one was looking.  He walked out casually, and walked up the stairs behind me.  "So, Harry and I just broke up..."  Niall looked happy and sad at the same time.  "I'm sorry."  "It's ok.  But I was thinking...and I'm completely in love with you too, Niall."  His whole face lit up, and so did mine.  "Really?  You mean that?"  I nodded.  "Yes, I really do.  And if it's ok, I'd like to move my stuff into your room?"  He nodded eagerly.  "Absolutely."  I laughed.  "So, you wanna go eat, then you can help me move?"  "Yeah, I'd love to.  Go ahead and go down there, I'll come in a second."  I walked downstairs, and went to sit at the kitchen table to drink coffee.  "Ashley, Ashley is so awesome, Ashley, Ashley doesn't look like a possum!"  Lou was singing.  "Well thank you, Lou.  That really means a lot."  We laughed.  "I'm back.  So what are we doing today?"  Niall chirped.  I looked over at Lou, who nudged Liam with his elbow.  I saw him mouth 'what's gotten into him?' and I just laughed to myself.  "I think we should go clubbing."  Louis said smiling at everyone.  Of course he would be the one to take us to the club.  "Louis?  I think you forgot something.  I'm only 17."  He turned to look at me.  Kat was tow years older than me, so she wouldn't have any problems.  "Yes, and that's what fake IDs are for."   Oh, so Louis Tomlinson is going to make me a fake ID, and then sneak me into a club illegally.  That's a great example to set.  "Come on love, I'll show you.  He grabbed my arm, and drug me upstairs.  We sat down in front of his computer.  "Ok, smile."  I did as I was asked, and he took my picture.  "Ok, now  we just fix a few things...and add your name, date of birth height, and weight.  But I'll let you enter that."  I sat down on his lap, and started typing.  "Done."  It looked so real.  "Lou, you could sell these. They're so realistic."  "Who says I don't?"  He said jokingly.  "So how do we actually get it off of the computer, and onto a card?"  "Well, I know a guy.  All I have to do is send it to him, and we go pick it up in 30 minutes."  He seems a little too good at this...but why do I care?  "Thanks, Lou.  You're the best fake ID maker I know."  He laughed.  "No problem.  Let's go pick it up now, if you want to.  It's about a 15 minute drive, so we should be there by the time it's ready."  I nodded, and followed him downstairs.  "We're going to pick her ID up.  Be back later."  I smiled at Niall, but not too obviously.  We walked down the flight of stairs, and met the piercing cold air.  "Oh. my. gosh."  He laughed, and wrapped an arm around me to keep warm.  We literally ran to the car so we could turn the heat on.  "Ok, that's much better."  I held my hands up to the vents.  "i'm going to call Kat because she wanted to come over today."  The phone rang 3 times, then she answered.  "Ashley!"  "Hey Kat, what's up?"  She sighed.  "Oh, nothing really."  I could tell something was wrong.  "Kat."  'Ok, it's about your dad.  If you wanna know whats wrong then come pick me up."  I had a very nervous feeling for some reason.  "Ok.  Be ready in fifteen."  "Bye, Ash."  I hung up.  I looked out my window, and tried to avoid eye contact with Louis.  At least until Kat told me what was wrong.  "Can we pick up Kat first?."  "Sure.  Tell me where to go."  I gave him directions, and we finally got there.  She ran outside to the car and jumped in.  "We have to go pick up my fake ID then you tell me, k?"  She nodded towards Louis.  "He knows."  She looked a little shocked.  "Were here."  Kat looked around kind of scared.  "Kat, you stay in the car."  I got out without saying anything, and Louis put his arm around my waist.  This was a pretty bad part of town, so I wrapped my arm around him too, as if I was going to be ripped away from him by a big scary guy.  We walked inside, and the guy immediately knew who Lou was.  "Hey, Louis!  What can I do for you?"  He was talking to Louis but looking at me.  "We just need to pick a 'card' up."  He used code in case anyone overheard.  "Ok, right this way."  We walked to the back of the small building, and it was sitting on a table.  "Here you are."  "Thanks, Jeremy.  What do I owe you?"  Louis handed me the card, and I was looking at all of the information.  "Well, since it's for such a pretty young girl like you...it's on me."  He winked at me.  For some reason it made me mad.  "Might as well just scream desperate..."  Louis sighed and rolled his eyes.  "Sorry about my friend...she's not very good with the flirting.  Anyway, thanks again."  I heard him say as I walked back to the car.  He was stll talking to Jeremy about who knows what, so I thought it would be a good time to ask Kat what's wrong.  "Ok, now go."  "Well, the jail called today, and your dad is being let out tomorrow.  they also said that since he's your legal guardian...you have to live with him."  She looked down at the last part.  I have to live with him?  How could I ever do that after what he did?  When Louis got in the car, he just sat there.  "You have to put the keys in the car to go."  He turned and looked at me.  "What's wrong, Ashley?"  "Nothing is wrong.  Why would something be wrong?"  He just sighed.  "You're lying, and yes something is wrong."  He's starting to creep me out... "How do you know that?"  "You play with your hands when you're lying, and you seem to be rude when you're nervous, scared, or anxious."  I guess I do that.  "That's creepy."  "You know you can tell me anything, right?"  Lou was like the big brother I've always wanted.  I never had any close family.  I started tearing up.  "Come here."  He held his arms out, and i leaned into a hug.  Kat was just sitting in the backseat quietly.  "Ashley, what's wrong love?"  I just continued to cry.  "My dad."  I pulled away to look into his eyes.  "What about him?"  "He's being let out of jail tomorrow."  He looked confused.  "Isn't that a good thing?"  "No, not at all.  They...are going to make me move in with him because I'm a minor..."  I was sobbing now.  He hugged me tightly while I ruined his shirt.  "You can live with us, can't you?"  "No, you're not my legal guardian.  Unless you can talk my dad into it, then I'm stuck with him.  I'm really scared, Lou."  He actually started tearing up too.  "I won't let him hurt you if that's what you're scared of."  "You don't know what he's capable of."  Kat put her hand on my back.  "What do you mean?"  "Louis, he killed my mother." 

This is a pretty sad ending to the chapter, but the next one is going to be awesome, I promise :)  

I would just like to share one thing, so please read on.  A few weeks ago at the Boston signing, Harry hugged a fan.  Security pulled her away from him and she had to move on. This is just really sad.  People can barely even make eye contact with the boys before security has to step in.  It wouldn’t be like that if some idiots acted mature.  You say you don’t want them on Nickelodeon because of the younger fans, when you might as well just be one of them because you act like it.  Have some respect.  They’re doing this for us, and because they love to do it, but you’re making it hell when they can’t even thank their fans before someone throws a bra at them or punches them in the stomache.  It really makes me sick.  Do you seriously think that they would be into a girl that throws themselves at them, or a girl that is nice to them?  Think before you act.  You're making it so bad, that we can't even talk to them anymore.  But if you want it to be like that, then go ahead.  You're just being selfish.

That is all...
