Hiding and Sacrifice (Niall Horan)

Chapter FIVE

Once I got home from me and Raphael's date, I immediately laid down in my bed and dozed off without even getting changed. And now, I'm finally awake. My breath tastes like spoiled egg, it is horrible. I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms to my back while yawning. I stared at the ceiling and thought about Raphael. I know he has a good and soft heart and he's hiding it by just acting tough and careless. And I know I can spill that soft side out of him. I grabbed my cellphone to get on Twitter but then I remembered Niall.

I would like to say sorry to him for just leaving him hanging there. But I also can't blame myself that much, It's not my fault that he's such a bipolar. I scrolled down my contacts and saw Niall's name there. I clicked it and dialed it. It takes three rings before he answered his phone, and I put the phone away from my ears when I heard loud music, and many people talking in the background. I also heard moaning. Where the hell is Niall?

"Hello?" I kind-of greeted and asked.

"Hhheellooo.." he said and he chuckled. He sounds.. drunk.

"Niall, are you drunk?" what the hell are you doing in a bar, Niall?

He just laughed but in a drunk way. "Why did she break up with me? I don't know the reason. I mean, I am handsome, right?" and he laughed bitterly.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked. And what does he mean by someone breaking up with him? Does he have a girlfriend?

"I thought.. hic.. we have a perfect relationship.. hic.. but why did she break up.. hic.. with me?.. hic.." he blurted. Does he even know he's in a phone call?

"Niall, what bar are you in?" I asked. I need to get to him now. To see if he's okay.

But he didn't answer but instead, I heard his name being called by a girl. And I raised my eyebrow as she moaned Niall's name. What the hell?

"Niall..." the girl voice moaned. "Yeah, yeah. Push your finger farther. Oh yeah.. your finger is cold. Uhh..." don't tell me Niall is fingering the girl.

I just frowned and hung up. What is the problem with Niall? And I don't know he has a girlfriend, who just broke up with him today. I sighed and put my cellphone in a desk. And I also didn't know he is the type of man who fingers random girl from a bar. I just shook my head to stop thinking about Niall and closed my eyes to sleep. I won't eat today, I'm on my diet.

I woke up by my annoying alarm. I tossed the alarm out of the desk and gasped. I didn't mean to toss it. I stretched my arms and took a bath and get ready for work. Once dressed up in a navy blue long sleeve shirt, and knee-long pants, I went to eat breakfast. Sausage and egg. My breakfast favorite. After that, I went to the office and I am greeted by my co-worker, Larrise, who has a constant habit of putting her eyes in the ceiling when annoyed, but sometimes, even if she's not annoyed.

"Goodmorning, Darla!" she greeted but I noticed her eyes are puffy and red.

I smiled. "Good morning, Larrise!" I frowned at her eyes. "Why are your eyes like that?"

She just shook her head and put her head down. "N-nothing. I just slept late because of.. well.. being on Twitter." and she looked up and smiled at me.

I just nodded and smiled and went to my desk. Larrise is the one I'm closest to out of my co-workers. She is just friendly but we really aren't that friends. Just as I am about to sit down, I noticed a post-it note stuck in the computer screen. I snatched it and read it:

Please go to this address: 143 Lullaby Street, Quaingie Alley

-Zayn, Niall's friend. ;) xx.

I raised an eyebrow. Would I go this address? What if this Zayn guy is a kidnapper that's pretending to be Niall's friend? I looked around to see if there's a new familiar face here that might be Zayn. But there's no one. But I noticed Larrise looking at me with bitterness in her face but when she saw me looking at her, her eyes turned soft. She smiled.
