Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

16++ Night With One Direction (Part Two)

RECAP!

It was Zayn's turn to spin and I watched as the spinning slowed down more and more until it finally came to a stop.

Just like my heart.

The bottle had landed on me.

Alyson's POV

I panicked when Zayn walked across our circle and over to me. He took my hand and pulled me to my feet. I could feel my heart racing fast.

What exactly does a heart attack feel like?

Zayn leaned down to me and his eyes shut more and more the closer he got to my face. My body finally took action. I jumped back and ran in the opposite direction. I didn't care how stupid I looked. Zayn could not be my first kiss. He's a nice guy, but he's engaged and I don't like him like that. My first kiss needs to be with someone I trust and have special feelings for.

I wasn't exactly sure where I was running to, but hopefully I could find somewhere to just cry and never be found. I heard my name being called and that only made me run faster.

I skipped up the stairs and ran into the first bedroom I saw. When I closed the door and locked it, I switched on the light and noticed that I had ran into Niall's room. How convenient.

I sat down on his bed and hid my face in my hands. I willed myself not to cry, but the tears came and didn't plan on stopping. I had just humiliated myself down there and now everyone probably thinks I'm a wimp.

I heard a knock on the door followed by an Irish accent. "Aly, please open the door."

I didn't say anything. If I did, my voice would shake and he would definitely know I'm crying.

"Aly, can we please talk about this?" he asked and I remained silent.

"Is she okay?" I heard Zayn ask him.

"I don't know, but just go back downstairs. I honestly don't think you're going to help the situation." Niall said to Zayn.

"I don't even know what I did wrong!" he exclaimed. "I wanna help."

"And you will, just let me help her first." Niall said.

"Okay, fine." Zayn said and I heard his foot-steps going back down the stairs.

"Please open the door," Niall pleaded. "I wanna talk to you."

I wanna talk to him too, just not about what just happened. It's too embarrassing and the only people I wanna see right now are Harper and Charlie. I could never be embarrassed in front of them and they could comfort me right now.

Niall's POV

"Please open the door, Al. We don't have to talk, I just wanna see you and make sure you're okay." I pleaded one more time.

After a few seconds, the doorknob turned and I was face to face with a teary-eyed Alyson.

"I'm okay." she obviously lied. "I swear."

"No, you're not." I said and walked into my room, shutting the door behind me. "I'm not stupid."

She bit her bottom lip which was adorable as fuck and she crossed her arms. "I'm fine, okay? Can we just go back downstairs?"

I really didn't want to fight with her, but I don't want her to be upset. I have no idea what she could be crying about, but I wanna help.

"Yeah," I said and she began walking towards the door. I stopped her by putting my arm in front of her waist and said, "as long as you promise to tell me what's upsetting you later."
