My eyes flickered open revealing a room that i didn't recognise. My head throbbed as I sat up a bit too quickly to see where I was, I rubbed my forehead and squinted as I looked round this unfamiliar room. Every wall had a cream colour expect one wall where there was a wall full of what looked like newspaper cuttings. I frowned and looked closer, seeing that they all had something about derby football club on them. It was only then that I remembered where I was, I felt myself relax realising I was in the home of Niall James Horan. I sigh and lie back down, but it wasn't for long as I found myself needing the toilet desperately! I jumped up out of the bed and ran to the en suite bathroom.
Once I finished what I was doing in the bathroom i wondered where Niall was and started to go down the stairs to the living room and there he was, one arm behind his head, the other on his chest, his eyes closed and light snores coming from his mouth. I smiled watching him as he took every breath. He was kind of gorgeous when he slept! I mean he's gorgeous anyway but when he slept he looked so peaceful and relaxed, no worries. I walked past him and into the kitchen, I opened his fridge and looked in, there was loads of food and I mean loads!!! I closed the door again thinking it would be rude to just help myself to food from his fridge without asking! I tapped my fingernails on the fridge door and turned round looking for something to do. I saw about twenty cans of Guinness on the counter near the sink and decided I would clean his house for him, it was already clean but I owe him something for letting me stay here with him. I opened every cupboard door hoping to find a plastic bag somewhere so I could put the cans in there and then take them to recycling when I left, but couldn't find any anywhere so I gave up and left them there while I grabbed a cloth and sprayed the sides down and wiped it off. Once I finished cleaning I looked up from the kitchen and saw Niall watching me with a soft smile on his face, his hair sticking out all directions. I jumped not knowing I had been watched, he laughed, which only made me laugh.
"Whatcha doin'?" he asked in his morning voice that made my legs go weak. I found myself lost for words.
"Um well I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd clean since it was the least I could do for you since you let me stay last night and everything" I said shrugging my shoulders playing with the cloth that was still in my hands. He chuckled and fell back down on the sofa.
"You're an eegit, you know that don't ya" he said, I frowned offended by what he had said to me.
"I was just trying to be kind mr ungrateful" I said joking earning a laugh from him. I put the cloth in the sink and walked over to the sofa where Niall was and sat across from him. His gaze landed on me and he smiled making a smile instantly appear on mine.
"You didn't have to do anything. I wanted you to stay. It was like a sleepover kind of thing, except we didn't plan it" he said smirking. I laughed shaking my head. It was only on that moment that I had remembered about Rich, I looked down at the over sized top of Niall's I was wearing, I messed with it and found I was actually a little bit sad about our breakup. "You did the right thing" Niall said almost reading my mind. I looked up at him and saw the he was watching me. "You weren't really in a relationship with him. when I saw you with him, all he did was control you, tell you what to do and how to do it, if you did something wrong you wouldn't hear the end of it from him. That's not a relationship, that's . . . I don't even know what it is but it's not what you deserve." he said this while looking me right in the eye. See with other girls that would probably of melted their heart, but with me I just wanted to slap him, it brought an anger out towards him and I couldn't help but try and deny everything Niall had just said even though it was all true!!
"He was drunk when you saw him, he wasn't always like that! He would have his moments where all we would ever do was sit, cuddle, kiss and watch movies together and those were the days I loved! It just spiralled in the last couple of months and he had good reason, work have been piling tons of work on him and he can't handle it at the moment and unfortunately I took the brunt of it. That's all" I met Niall's eyes and saw he was smirking at me.
"You're just making excuses for him because you know what I said is true and you still love him so you'll try your best to defend him whatever it takes!!" He said smiling. I sighed knowing he was right, I did love Rich when I thought I didn't. He gave me some of the best times in my life and I have met some amazing people because of him and I have him to thank for that and right now I want to see him and talk everything over with him, but I know I would take him back if I did that so instead I choose to leave it and let my feelings for him die if they can.
"I just hate that I still love him after recent events" I said looking at my hands. I feel the sofa sink next to me and look up to see Niall next to me smiling in a sympathetic way. I fall into his open arms and snuggle in.
"It's difficult darlin' don't worry" he said kissing the top of my head making me close my eyes and smile.

Two weeks later
I was back in Cheshire with my family. I sat infront of my baby brother jake feeding him his dinner of chicken korma, his favourite meal. "thank you so much for looking after him darling, it's a massive help" my mum said walking past me in a dash trying to find her bag for the dinner she was going to with my dad and some of their friends meaning I was looking after jakey for the night, which I don't mind. I do it pretty much every night anyway because he goes straight to sleep for me whereas for my mum he likes to have cuddles to go to sleep with her.
"No problem mum, I don't mind. have a nice night tonight" I say as she kissed the top of my head before giving jake's forehead a kiss earning a "mama" from him. She and my dad then left the house without another word. I laughed as jake blew a raspberry in the direction of them.
With jake in bed and asleep I tidied the sides, washed his dishes and switched the telly on and started watching how I met your mother (another of my favourite shows). my phone buzzed and I looked at it seeing a message from Rich, I opened it and sighed deleting the message straight after I read the cheesy message of: 'I miss you so much chick xxxxxxxxx'
To be honest everything he sends me now makes me cringe to high heaven because I don't believe anything he tells me anymore because I found out a couple of days ago that he cheated on me when I was with him so I have really got no time for him anymore!!
I then look through my twitter when a snapchat from the one and only Niall popped up, I instantly opened it laughing out loud to the picture I saw of Niall with his eyes crossed saying "missing you so much it's made me crazy . . . See" I felt my cheeks go red as I read the message. I haven't seen him since two weeks ago and yeah I missed him too maybe a little . . . . Yeah loads actually!!! I couldn't stop thinking about him actually everytime I saw anything one direction related my stomach would flutter. I have feelings for this guy and bad!!
