Suicidal [Narry/Niam]

Chapter 3

Nialls Pov:

"Lou told me you were in here and that you wanted to see me" I speak out into Harry's room. He's sitting on his bed on his laptop.

"Yeah I wanted to talk to you".

"About what?" I asks. Even though I know whats coming towards me. He's going to want to talk about the headphones and Im nervous.

"Why were your headphones downstairs? You told me you went upstairs to get them when we left to go to Nandos. Niall, theres a secret you're keeping from me and I know it. I can tell when you aren't yourself. I need to know. I don't-" I cut him off.

"Stop acting like theres something wrong! I already told you Im fine! Nothing's wrong and theres nothing Im hiding!" I exclaim.

"Ni, theres obviously something your hiding! Don't deny it!"

"There isn't! I don't need to take your shit anymore! Im going out."

"You cant keep running from your problems! And besides, where are you going to go?" I haven't thought that through yet but he doesn't need to know that yet.

"Out. Away from you! Just trust me and accept the fact that Im telling the truth! Im supposed to be your best friend! Cant you trust me for once!" Harry looked stunned. He was about to say something. I slammed the door behind me on the way out. How dare he have the audacity! I need a drink. I walked down the hall to the living room. "Im heading out to the bar. Do you want to tag along Lou?"

"Sure. Lemme grab my coat." He says.

"Alright. I'll meet you outside." I make my way to the steps outside. Its cold outside but not freezing. It brings chills to my skin. I inhale the smell of cigarette smoke in the city. It brings pleasure to my lungs. Lou comes through the door.

"Im ready."

"Alright lets go."

We walked to the bar down the street. Its not that far from where we live. Were fortunate enough to have it be within walking distance.

When we arrive at the bar, me and Louis sit down next to each other. We get a couple strange looks considering that were the youngest lads in there, but we've been to the bar enough times for people to know who we are.

"Hey boys, what do you want?" The bartender says.

"Just the usual" I say.

"Ill get whatever Ni is getting." Louis responds.

"Coming right up boys" he says. He goes to his side of the bar and fixes us our drinks. He returns with them. "Here you go. Call me over when you need a refill."

"Thanks." He goes back to tending other customers. I immediately take a sip.

"Hey Ni. I heard you and Harry fighting. Is everything alright between you and him?" Louis asks in concern.

"Yeah everything's fine. He's just being an asshole." I let out a sigh.

"How so?" I take a couple sips of my drink.

"Well he keeps asking if Im 'okay' and if theres any personal problems going on or whatever. I know hes trying to help but hes being so persistent. I tell him constantly everything alright but he wont beleive me."

"Yeah, Harry gets like that sometimes with me too. He just cares a lot about everyone around him I guess." Louis downs his alcohol. I follow behind him. The bartender returns to give us refills. "He just needs to give us a little more space. Ya know?"

"Yeah I get that. But like, he needs to be okay with us not being open with him all the time."

After a couple more drinks, we both begin to slur our words and become a little drunk.

"Thanks Mr. Bartender. I'll be back tomarrow" I say on my way out. Me and Lou have our arms around each other and begin walking back to the house. The walk was really cold and a little bit confusing. We ended up making it, but Lou knocked over a trash can. No one saw though. It was about 1:00 am when we got back to the house. Lou walks to his room and says goodnight. Like last night, I crash on the couch. Again.
