Fight For Her || n.h

Chapter 22 - "I miss hearing your voice."

2 things before you read!

1) Try and listen to "Happier" from Ed Sheeran's new album without thinking about Niall and Olivia. At least I couldn't.

2) I HAVE A BRAND NEW STORY!!! I uploaded the first chapter today and I'm really excited and proud of that book. It's completely finished already (on my laptop) so I never have to run out of chapters! Amazing, right? It's about Niall as well, and a completely new plot than I've written earlier. It's called "Goodbye for now" and you can find it on my profile.

Previously in chapter 21:

"People tell you they love you all the time, you just have to listen. It can be stuff like 'Did you sleep well?', 'You alright?', 'Drive safe'..." She trailed off, smiling.

"'Take my jacket'..." I mumbled, immediately thinking about Niall.

"Yeah, exactly. That's also one way of saying 'I care about you, I love you' without actually saying it. So I think that's what your friend is trying to show you. It was your favourite band, right? Is it hers as well?"

"I don't think she even knows what kind of music they make." I chuckled. "It's not really her type."

"Then it's even more obvious she's doing this for you."

Savannah headed for the door.

"You coming or what? We better catch a glimpse of the sunlight before it starts to rain again." She said, looking at me over her shoulder. "Plus, you don't want your dad to wait for you, do you? Show him you love him by arriving on time." She grinned.

And I grinned back, thinking that I might actually become friends with my ex's "girlfriend". 

--------------------

Jake's point of view (!!)

I flushed the toilet and washed my hands. There were a little cabinet right over the sink, and just out of curiosity I decided to open it. I wouldn't call it snooping around in my best friend's bathroom, just... checking.

I found some aspirins and other pills, some hair wax and random shit. What caught my attention the most was his huge amount of shavers and extra razorblades on the side. Sure, Niall has been letting his facial hair grow out a little, but having this many shavers was just pointless. From what I know he doesn't shave that often.

I've heard about self-harming and depression before, but I would never consider Niall feeling that way. He's always the sarcastic and funny one, and he's always been a bit full of himself if I'm being completely honest. But that's just the way he is, and everyone loves him for it. So it was out of this world that my best friend would hurt himself that way without telling me.

I closet the cabinet and shook my head to myself. I'm sure he has a reason for owning so many shavers and having awfully many extra razorblades.

"Mate, when are you getting off tonight?" I asked when I stepped out of the bathroom.

Niall was over by the couch, eating a slice of pizza while checking his phone.

"We're closing the bar at two, so I'll be back sometime after that." He said with his mouth full.
