Something new

Chapter 2

Niallwas exhausted. He wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep, but as he laythere noise on fire, he knew that wasn’t going to happen. He could hear Louisand Zayn fighting in the next room about something, but he could only reallymake out a couple of words, twat and pervert seemed to be used often. Otherthan that, Niall had no way of telling what the fight was about.

Hecould also hear a frantic Liam trying to get them to calm down or ‘at leastquiet down, Niall’s sleeping’. Niall couldn’t help but smile at the fact thatLiam was fighting for Niall’s right to sleep. Another shout could be heard fromthe other room and Niall once again turned over, putting his pillow over hishead to try and block the noise. It didn’t work.

 And as if that wasn’t enough, the smashing andcrashing of pans and utensils could be clearly heard downstairs in the kitchen,which Niall assumed Harry would be responsible for because Tom and Lauracouldn’t cook. They didn’t even try anymore. Niall could have sworn Harry hadactually managed to break a few things from all this noise he was making. Thatwas it. He obviously wasn’t doing any good lying in this bed, trying to sleepin on a Saturday when that was obviously impossible.

Niallsat up in bed slowly, his eyes half lidded, his hair all over the place and anexpression of pure nothingness. That look was quickly changed to somewhatangry, somewhat scared as the shouts in the next room turned to screams. Niallquickly got up and ran into the other room, not even bothering to get dressedor straighten out his hair.

“What are you guys fighting about?” Niall asked and the room wentsilent. He looked at the scene before him. Liam was squished in between Louisand Zayn, trying desperately to push them off the other.

 ”Not even a full day together yet andyour already fighting. How are we possibly going to make this work if you cantget along?” Niall asked, stepping up to the three boys who still hadn’tmoved and gently pushing Zayn and Louis causing them to step back, then takingLiam’s hands and pulling him from between the two boys.

“AndLiam, trying his best to break it up and you just blatantly ignore him.”The room stayed silent even as Niall looked from boy to boy, waiting for one ofthem to say something. Finally Zayn did.

“I’msorry.” Zayn muttered, giving Louis one last glare before scurrying outthe room.

“Uh,me too.” Louis choked out before running out after Zayn.

“What’sup with those two?” Niall asked, turning to face Liam.

“Oh,that was probably just their awkward way of leaving the room to continue theirfight. Did we wake you?” Liam was quick to change the subject. Niallturned to Liam, raising one eyebrow slightly higher than the other one.

“Idon’t know. What do you think?” Niall asked, sarcastically rolling hiseyes and snorting.

“Sorry.That was a stupid question. I just… I don’t know. Forget I saidanything.” Liam was about to run out of the room too, until Niall slunghis arm around Liam’s shoulder, leading him out of this room and into thereshared one.

“Chillout Li. I was just messing with yah.” Niall laughed, falling face firstonto his bed, pulling Liam down with him.

“I’mtired!” Niall moaned, stretching the word out longer than need be and Liamlaughed.

“Thengo to sleep.” Liam struggled to get onto his side, the weight of Niall’sarm on his back slowing him down.

“Areyou kidding me? That’s completely impossible now. Plus… I smell food fromdownstairs. How can one sleep when they smell food?” Niall whined,unknowingly cuddling in closer, his head moving into the crook of Liam’s neck.Niall closed his eyes taking in the sweet smell of cinnamon that was nowsurrounding him. Liam moved his hands, and carefully pushed a strand of Niall’shair out of his face.
