Forever & Always ~ Niall Horan AU~

Chapter 13

Kristy's POV

I was alone in the dinning room, everyone else had already left. I had already finished my dinner and now I was just thinking. I still hadn't heard anything about Niall yet and that was worrying me. It has been over 2 hours since, and I hadn't heard anything. I finished my tea then got up from the table and decided to try and find Violet. 

I walked out into the hallway and ran into someone. 

"Woah easy there." I heard someone say. I looked up and saw King Harry hold a full tray. 

"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention to were I was going." I told him. 

"It's okay. No harm done." I gave him a small smile. 

"I'm sorry to bother you, but would you mind doing me a favor?" I nodded my head. 

"Would you be able to take this tray up to Niall?" He asked me. I lifted my head a little higher. 

"Yeah I can." I told him. 

"Thank you. I'm just a little to busy right now. "

"I understand." I told him while taking the tray from Harry's hands. 

"Just make sure he finishes all the food and everything in this cup." He told me. I raised my eyebrow in confusion. 

"Thank you again, but I must be going." He told me. Harry walked up the stairs, leaving me to myself. I made my way up to Niall's room, being careful with the tray. Once I got to the room I knocked on the door then went inside. 

"Niall?" I called out. I didn't receive a reply. I looked around me and just let my feet lead the way. I found my way into the bedroom and saw Niall sleeping on the bed. I placed the tray down on the night stand then sat down on the bed. I raised my hand to Niall's forehead. He didn't have a fever but he did feel very cold. My hand moved towards his hair, and I started to brush it out of his face. 

Niall stirred in his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at me.  

"Kristy?" He asked with a hoarse voice. 

"Hi." I whispered. 

"How you feeling?" I asked him. 

"Better, now that you're here." I blushed at his comment.

"I brought food." I told him. 

"What is it?" He asked me. 

" Chicken noodle soup, some bread, and a mystery drink." I told him. Niall nodded his head. 

" Do you need help?" I asked him. 

"That would be nice." He gave me a soft smile. I helped him to lean against the headboard. I grabbed the bowl of soup and lifted the spoon to his lips. 

"You worried me back there." I told him. 

" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." 

"It's not your fault that you got sick." I told him. I continued to feed him the soup until it was all gone. Niall also finished the bread then moved on to the mysterious drink. 

"Thank you for taking care of me." Niall told me.

"I'm glad I was able to help." I gave him a soft smile. I placed the empty cup back on the tray and went to go pick it up. Before I could grab it, I felt a hand wrapped around my wrist. 

"Stay." Niall whispered. I looked at him in shock. 

"Please stay. I enjoy your company." Niall pulled me back down on to the bed. 

"But you don't feeling well." 

"That didn't stop you before." He reminded me. 

"Okay, I'll stay." 

~The Next Day~

"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE." I heard someone yell. I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw Chris standing in front of the bed. I shot up from the bed. 

"It's not what it looks like." I quickly said. Niall was sound asleep next to me. 

"Oh really?" Chris asked me. 

"Niall." I shook Niall trying to get him to wake up. 

"Niall." I shook him again. 

"What?" He asked half asleep. 

"Wake up." I growled at him. He opened his eye and looked at me. 

"What's going on?" He asked me still asleep. 

"Chris is here." I told him. He opened both of his eyes and turned to look at Chris shooting a glare at both of us.

"I can explain." Niall told him. 

"I'm waiting." He told us. 

"Well I came up last night to deliver your dad his food, and we got to talking." I started to explain.

"Once I was finished Kristy went to leave and I asked her to stay." Niall told him.

"We just were watching a bit of telly that's was all. I swear." I told him. Chris had his arms crossed over his chest. 

" IF I'VE TOLD YOU ONCE I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES. STOP YEL.......look what we have here." King Louis said noticing us still in bed. I sunk further into the bed trying to hide from everyone. I felt Niall grab my hand and squeeze it. 

"Louis what is....oh" I heard Queen Eleanor say. I groaned to myself then threw the sheet off of me and got off the bed. 

"If you'll please excuse me." I said then speed walked out of the room as quick as possible. I ran to my room then once inside I slammed the door behind me. I let out a heavy sigh once inside my room. 

"So how was your night?" I let out a small yelp. I turned to find the voice, and saw my grandmother holding a sleeping Violet.

" Fine." I told her. She nodded her head. 

"I came to give you Violet, but you weren't here." I gently took Violet from her and placed her on my chest. 

" I was with Niall." My grandmother had a big grin on her face. 

"Nothing happened." I told her. 

"Okay whatever you say." She told me with a smirk on her face.

"Well goodnight darling....I mean morning." Her smirk grew bigger. I rolled my eyes as she walked out of the room. I sighed to myself then went to place Violet in her crib. I laid down on my bed and felt my eyes slowly start to close. 

Niall's POV

"So?" Louis wiggled his eyebrows at me. I rolled my eyes at him. 

"So what really happened?" Chris asked me 

"What we said happened." I shrugged.

"Please." 

"NOTHING HAPPENED." I told them. 

"Sure." Louis winked at me. 

"Excuse him, how are you doing Niall?" Eleanor asked me. 

"Better." I told her. 

"Good." Louis still had that stupid smirk on his face.  

"Oh come on." Eleanor told Louis then dragged him out of the room. 

"So how are you?" Chris asked me while messing with my night stand.

"Better." I told him. 

"Really?" He asked me. 

"Chris, I still don't know." I told him. 

"But you're making progress, right?" He asked. 

"Yeah, I think I am."
