I'm In Riddles (One Direction)

Chapter 5

That's what makes you beautiful

Hi! So let me clear this up first! So they were going to stay at a hotel a few hours from Harry's bungalow but it got ambushed by fans so they moved to a different hotel in the same area but the fans don't know the location. And in this story, there was a Caroline but there's obviously no Eleanor or Danielle.. I love them though.

Niall's POV

"Louis, are you okay?" I asked, giving him a concerned glance as he got that far away look on his face again.

Just like the few times that I tried getting his attention, he didn't pay me any mind as he continued looking into space, probably deep in thought. I sighed, giving up on even trying. Ever since we got out of the car, he's been completely out of it. When we arrived at the room that Liam and I were planning to stay in, he just looked like he wanted to take a breather. Don't say I didn't ask him if he wanted some air because I did... He just didn't answer.

I studied Louis again as he laid down on the bed with his arms spread wide over his head. He looked so expressionless and deep in thought that it was a completely weird sight. Not just because Louis wasn't the kind of person who liked making things complicated but because he also wasn't the kind who analyzed things too much.

I wondered what he was thinking about, knowing that even if I asked him, I wouldn't get an answer. He was completely no fun right now! I mean The Tommo was supposed to be the funny and mischievous one in the group, so why wasn't he doing anything now?

I held in a breath, counting to ten until I knew I would ask for Louis' attention again, thinking that if he didn't answer, I'd have to ask for either Liam or Zayn's help.

"Louis," I nudged his leg with my still shoe clad foot. No response.

I groaned, frustrated that he just kept on ignoring me. I mean if he continued this, how would I be able to buy my food? I couldn't very well just go out by myself to get it! And I knew I had to take care of him before doing anything but how could I do that if he was acting like this? Really, what's gotten into him?

I sighed, running a hand over my hair as I decided to take action. I walked towards the door, closing it shut carefully because I didn't want Louis to freak out if he ever decided to get back to himself in that moment. I walked down the hall, treading my way to the elevator when I heard a noise from the left corridor.

"You're not really going to do tha- Niall?" Liam cut off, looking at me rather than the woman he was talking to.

"Li!" I called excitedly, walking over to where Liam and the random woman stopped walking.

"Hey! What are you doing out here? Where's Lou?"

"I was looking for you," I admitted, "I need your help with Louis."

He furrowed his eyebrows, "Why?"

I wanted to kick him, he was being totally rude to who he was supposedly talking to awhile ago! I rolled my eyes, ignoring him as I looked at the lady. "Hi," I smiled.

"Hello," she replied, giving me a polite smile of her own.

"Oh! Sorry! Niall this is Diana, Diana this is Niall." he introduced, clearly realizing that he was being impolite awhile ago.

"Nice to meet you," I said to her, "But can I please borrow Liam for awhile?"

Her eyes sort of widened, "Uhm, o-of course!" she stuttered, "I'm so sorry for taking your time!" she said to Liam, giving him an apologetic look.

Liam looked at her questioningly, "Uh, sorry, can we discuss the plans later?"

My eyes narrowed as I thought of what he just said. Plans? Were they meeting someone or did they mean plans for themselves? I mean I had nothing against it but come on, this lady looked like she was ten years older than him! It would totally have been Harry hitting on her, not Liam. And even now, Harry seemed like he didn't really want any new romances so in the end.. Nobody would have hit on her, right?
