Half A Heart

Chapter 6

Georgina's POV

I woke up,feeling much more better now.The recent events seem to swirl inside my head.I tried to get up,but fell,yet again,on the soft pillow.Urgh.I WISH I could stop myself from falling all the time.It's super annoying.I looked around and saw that I am in someone's bedroom.A guy's room.The walls were brightly painted blue and all around,I could see Bon Jovi posters taped in an awkward angle.A guitar sat on a corner beside a pile of overflowing dirty boxers.I felt something move beside me and saw Niall,sleeping soundlessly while tightly,yet gently,holding my hand.I smiled at his obvious concern.He is such a kind person.The complete opposite of Harry.Yet there was also something about Harry that makes him...let's say,more 'attractive' than Niall.I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with Niall but you get my point.

Oh my God,is this for real?! Georgina Jefferson,is actually interested in notorious bad boy,Harry Styles? my mind squealed.

Of course not! I'm just saying...

My phone started ringing and I grabbed it with my other hand,the hand Niall used to hold onto before he was rudely disturbed from his slumber.I mouthed at him 'Sorry' and all he replied was a snore.What a heavy sleeper.

I looked at the phone and saw Emma's name on the screen.I pressed accept and dreadfully listened to her almost 3 minute lecture about irresponsibility and selfishness.I yawned.What a know-it-all.I hate her the most when she's in this state.

"...AND NOW YOU ACCEPT MY PHONE CALL JUST NOW?! YOU COULD'VE BEEN RAPED,YOU COULD'VE BEEN ROBBED.GEORGINA,STOP BEING SUCH A REBEL!!!! I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU,TO PROTECT YOU---"

"TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU,TO UNDERSTAND YOU,WELL YOU KNOW WHAT EMMA,CUT THE BULLSHIT ALREADY! LOOK,I DON'T REALLY CARE IF YOU'RE TRYING YOU'RE BEST TO GET CLOSER TO ME, BECAUSE YOU NEVER WILL." I paused,hot tears falling thick and fast down my cheeks."AND NOBODY ELSE WILL BECAUSE NO ONE WILL EVER UNDERSTAND ME AS WELL AS SHE DID!!! AS WELL AS MY REAL MOM DID.I'M SORRY.BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I NEVER.EVER.SAW YOU AS A MOTHER FIGURE." And with that,I pressed the End button and sobbed uncontrollably on the bed.I felt someone rub my back,trying to comfort me and I know it's Niall.Without invitation,I hugged him and cried on his heaving chest.

"Shhh...It's alright G.I'm here.I'll always be here.Nobody can ever hurt you,or abuse you,as long as I'm with you.Do you understand?" He whispered words of comfort and for the first time I lifted my head,looked back at his blue eyes.He had a hard,blazing look on his face.He also seem to determined to do what he just said.Since I trust him,I nodded.He pulled me back and gave me a bear hug,while brushing my hair with his fingers.Somehow,I felt much more lightheaded than I did before and after I cried.He swayed on the spot,singing one of my favorite songs.

"Never felt like this before,are we friends or are we more.As I'm walking towards the door.I'm not sure."

"But baby if you say you want me to stay,I'll change my mind.Cause I don't wanna know I'm walking away.If you'll be mine." I sang

"Won't go.Won't go.So baby if you say you want me to stay,stay for the night.I'll change my mind." He finished and stopped swaying.He lifted my chin so that I can see him properly.My face was only a few inches from his because I can smell his spearmint toothpaste.

"You have a lovely voice."He said,his voice suddenly raspy.His gaze turned from my eyes to my lips.I also allowed myself to look at his tempting, and plush lips.His lips look so...luscious and inviting. Although his teeth are still a bit crooked but to me,it suits him perfectly.He cautiously leaned forward as I did the same and slowly closed my eyes.

A loud bang came from the doorway,causing me and Niall to withdraw,squinting our eyes at the great amount of light.Outside stood 4 lads,all looking sheepish.Louis looked a bit disgusted and Harry looked.... blank.I can't read his face.Zayn started to look at the pair of us mischieviously and Liam wore a worried expression on his face.I blushed a shade of scarlet,while Niall did the same.

"Who opened the door without knocking?" I asked a little too aggresively for my liking.Zayn snickered.

"Why,is there something you two wanted to hide?" He asked.

"NO." I answered,rather defensively. "It's just that knocking is also one of the manners everyone needed to know." I added.Harry raised his two eyebrows,still saying nothing.

Louis snorted "Psh..We break into each other's rooms for a million times already.Plus." he paused because Liam accidentally dropped the gift in Niall's study table. "We thought we heard someone crying."He looked at me concerningly.

"Oh." I replied,wiping my eyes with a handkerchief."It was nothing..."

"Guys,check this out.Something's gone bad!" Liam shouted from the sitting room.We all walked down hurriedly,and looked at the flat screened TV on the wall.A picture of me riding piggyback on Niall's back appeared.OH MY GOSH.THIS IS NOT GOOD.

"We reportedly saw Mr.Niall Horan,a member of the famous band,One Direction,allowing a young teenage girl to ride piggyback on his back at Four Seasons Hotel." I saw the corner of the neswcaster's mouth twitched.She's obvioulsy a fan and she's not so good at coping up with reality.

"We better change it.It doesn't seem to bring any good news." Harry suggested coolly.

"Don't" I hissed. "Let's see what she's got to say."

"Around 2 pm in the afternoon yetserday,fans have been shooed out of the place.Even the ones who had rooms in that particular hotel.The security has gone strict and watchful ever since the event.But the question in everyone's mind now is obviously not how to sneak past the guards.But obviously,we ask ourselves about that mysterious girl.Is that girl Niall Horan's newest girlfriend.Or is she just...another toy." The neswcaster had a smug smile on his face before saying "Back to you Ted."

Niall immediately turned off the TV.All eyes seem to look at me,waiting for my expression.When I stayed poker faced,Liam suddenyl said "G,we're very very sorry.If we were just quick enough too---"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA.OH MY GOD!" I said laughing.Everyone looked at me,half amused and half relieved but I continued to laugh hard. "That silly woman.HAHAHAHA she's got it all wrong." I stated,clutching my painful-from-laughing stomach.

"Well,at least you didn't take it too seriously." Liam mumbled,helping me up to my feet.

"Of course not,why would I be affected of lies? I'm not a toy.I'm a human." I answered.The other lads laughed,except for Niall.He still looked worried.As everyone filed out,I approached him and took his hand.

"Hey." I started.He turned around and saw that his expression did not change."Why are you so worried?" He only sighed and started to walk back when I seized both of his wrists and called his attention,more sternly."Niall.Please answer me.Why are you worried?" This time he turned around and held both of my hands,entwining his fingers with my smaller ones.

"If I tell you,promise me that you'll never tell anyone?" He asked.I hesitated before answering Yes.What if I had to say what he said.Or worse.What if the lads and Diana find out about our little secret.

"Georgina..."

"Oh,alright fine.Yes."

He smiled."Good.Better change your attire."

"Why?" I asked,tilting my head to the left.He chuckled and messed up my hair before whispering.

"We're going to the mall."
