Come And Go (Sequel to Unpredictable)

Chapter 17

Niall's POV

I stirred awake and sighed, yet again I'd had an awful dream. I hated sleepless nights, they always had a strange effect on me, dreams being this one. I unlocked my phone and sighed, I had no messages from anybody. I looked at the time, squinting slightly at the brightness - 5:39am. I climbed out of my bed and walked over to my window, glancing out of it and frowning when I saw Craig outside. What was he doing here? He noticed me looking and waved his hand, beckoning me to come out. I shook my head at first he continued to pester me until I gave in, I slid trackies and a hoody on before leaving the house quietly. There was something odd about him. I walked over to him and he smiled,

"Morning." I ran my fingers through my bedhead,

"What do you want? Why are you outside my house?" He held his hands up and grinned,

"Calm down with the questions, I just wanted to talk to you about Liam." My heart panged at the sound of his name, as much as I wanted to hate him, I still loved him.

"Why? It's none of your business." He took a seat against the wall and pulled his knees up to his chest, patting the spot next to him. I reluctantly sat down, pulling my sleeves over my hands to avoid the morning breeze.

"I know things are hard for you and I wanted to be there for you, I know you cant talk to Zayn about things. Harry and Louis might not be much help either." I shrugged my shoulders,

"What makes you think you can be a better help?"

"I'm going to be a counsellor when I'm older, I'm sure I can help." I sighed in defeat, I guess I needed to get a few things off my chest. I couldn't exactly talk to my family about it either, considering they weren't exactly comfortable with my sexuality.

"Okay, I don't know what to do. I'm guessing you know what happened," He nodded, allowing me to go on.

"Liam admitted that him and Zayn kissed when I was in Ireland which upset me, but I could have dealt with that and got over it. It was when I asked him if he kissed him back, he just stayed silent. That clearly shows that he wanted to kiss him back, they were texting and calling each other babe," I trailed off, swallowing the lump in my throat. I could feel tears pricking my eyes but I wiped them away, not wanting to cry.

"Did you let him explain the situation?" I shook my head,

"He would have just fed me a load of bullshit." I hiccupped, spilling out the tears. Craig wrapped an arm around my shoulder for support but I stayed still, reminiscing the argument.

"Maybe you should let him explain, he might have a valid reason. I wouldn't speak to Zayn yet though, he might punch me like he did you." I furrowed my eyebrows together,

"Wait, what? Why did he punch you?" He shrugged his shoulders, removing his arm and pointing to the nasty bruise on his jaw.

"I was with Liam and he took a swing at me, causing this. He's a bit of a dick really." He laughed, crossing his arms.

"That's just wrong, if you haven't done anything why does he hate you?" I questioned, my anger towards Zayn was definitely building up.

"I'm not sure, but I want to know why you hate me? I haven't done anything wrong to you." He said sadly, I looked at him in pity.

"I don't hate you, I was just a bit threatened. Liam likes attention and you were giving him lots of it, I guess I just got scared he might cheat on me with you. Turns out it was my best friend that he did it with." He sat upright and played with the hem of his shirt,

"I wouldn't do that, I'm not like that. But I'm pretty good at revenge, if you wanted to you could just get him back." I shook my head,

"I couldn't, I love him too much to hurt him."

"But he hurt you..." He said in a low voice, I ignored his comment.

"Why are you awake so early? We have school in a few hours." I asked, standing up and brushing myself down.

"I had things on my mind, I wanted to come see if you were alright too. Do you want to stay with me in school? I'm sure I'd be good company." He winked, standing up.

"I suppose you could hang around with us, I'm not sure Liam would be happy though." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I still think you should give him a chance." I sighed and ran my hands across my face, rubbing my eyes.

"I don't know Craig, Liam's hurt me and it kills me to see him. I just feel like if I give him the chance to talk, he'll lie to me and I'll fall for his stupid charm."

"You can only try, now go on, get back inside for a little bit extra sleep and I'll meet you here to walk." He held his arms out and I gave him a short hug before waving goodbye and quietly creeping back into my house.

*in school*

"You cant say that!" Craig howled, smacking my arm lightly. Harry tilted his head back and laughed loudly, pulling Louis into his chest and cuddling him.

"It was a simple question about their virginity!" I laughed, looking over at the happy couple. They both hid their red faces before shaking their heads,

"Just stop Niall before you make things worse." I chuckled once again, soon stopping when I spotted Zayn and Liam by the doors.

"Whats got your eye?" Louis asked, spinning round. All of the boys spotted where they were looking and formed an 'o' shape with their mouths,

"I thought they fell out?" Craig asked, sipping his drink.

"I don't know, I did too." I mumbled, diverting my eyes away. I tried to stop looking but I was craving to know what they were talking about, were they doing something behind my back?

"Come on Niall, we'll play football." Craig smiled, pointing to the mugger. We all walked into the mugger and Craig pulled the ball from his bag,

"Two on two?" Harry questioned, I shook my head and asked more people if they wanted to join in. To no surprise they did, we were some of the best football players the school had. We all picked our teams and began, I stepped back and stayed in goals. Eyeing the ball closely so I had a strong guard, Mikey ran and tackled Louis, running past him and down towards me. I kept my eyes glued to the ball, ready for him to take a shot. I crouched a little, rubbing my hands so I was ready. I had full concentration until something outside of the mugger caught my eye, it was them, Liam and Zayn, hugging. My jaw dropped and I stood up straight, keeping my eyes peeled. What were they playing at? I was snapped out of my trance by loud cheers from around me, I looked round to see the ball in the back of our net. Typical.

"Niall mate, where's the concentration gone?" Harry asked, running up to me. I shook my head, feeling distant.

"I, uh-" I was cut off by everybody talking to me, I couldn't take this anymore. I picked my bag up off the ground before running out of the mugger and into school, straight down to the nurses office. I banged on the door and she pulled it open, frowning.

"Miss, please. I was just sick." I lied , clutching my stomach.

"Oh dear, do you want me to call mum?" I nodded, feeling myself gag. I was way too worked up over this and I couldn't control it,

"I'll ask her to come and pick you up, take a seat." I stumbled over to the chairs and sat down, dropping my head in my hands and breathing heavily. They were driving me crazy, I couldn't get the picture of them out of my head. It felt like it was burning a hole in my heart, trampling all over my feelings. It was something I wasn't enjoying, at all.
