Chapter 8

Niall's P.o.v

"Peyton come back."

"Leave me alone."

"What can I do to make it up to you?"

"You can stay here or take me with you. I can't be alone with your friends. I just started trusting you and now you lied. I'm scared Niall."

"They're good people, I think you would like them, they are some of my best friends, it's okay."

I grabbed her hand to comfort her but she pulled away.

"Look, I can't take you with me but I'll stay with you until the last second we leave for our plane, deal?"

"That doesn't change the fact your friends are going to babysit us for a week."

"How about I skype you every night to see how you're doing? Would you feel better if I did that?"

"I guess..."

She looked at the ground with tears in her eyes. I lifted her chin so our eyes met, and I kissed her.

It surprised her but she kissed me back for a couple of seconds, then pulled away.

"Niall I'm already hiding enough from my friends adding a second kiss from you on the list isn't going to make things better."

"Second kiss? This is the only time I've kissed you."

"No, you kissed me the other night, when you were drunk. Right after your girlfriend called me a whore."

"Peyton, I'm so sorry. She's not my girlfriend I promise I have no feelings for her. None."

"Don't apologize."

She opened her mouth like she was going to say something, then closed it.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"Kind of..."

"You can tell me anything."

"Niall? Peyton? Are you out here?" Louis called.

Peyton stood up like she was going to run.

"Sit. Louis can wait. Tell me what's bothering you."

"I can't. Not now. I promise I'll tell you later, just not now."

"You made a promise, you can't break it."

"I know."

"We don't have all day! We have to take the girls shopping for when they meet Luke and Michael tomorrow!" Louis shouted.

"What about Cal and Ashton?"

"Who?" Peyton asked with her knees pulled to her chest.

"The boys who are taking care of you for a week."

"Niall come on!"

"Come on Peyton, I'll take you out for ice cream or something, we already went shopping."

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her along with me back into Liam's house.

"Lou, I'm taking Peyton for ice cream, we went shopping this morning."

"Figures." Sophia said rolling her eyes.

Peyton mouthed an "I'm sorry" to them and we left.

Peyton's P.o.v

My friends were mad at me and it sucked. I can't face them after all that's happened between me, Niall and Harry. They would hate me more than they already do.
