Forever Has A New Meaning (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16

Kristina’s P.O.V

Niall and I were having a blast jumping on the bed and tricking the boys into thinking we were having a wild night. It was funny how they were almost encouraging it even though Harry was in their room. I hope he’s not getting to jealous, I just want him to get jealous enough to realize that that could have really happened by him letting Niall kiss me.

Niall and I stopped jumping on the bed, watched a short film, and decided to get some sleep. There was one king bed and the couch, but it was terribly uncomfortable. We took pillows and put them in between us to make a barrier. Niall was sound asleep and snoring lightly. But I couldn’t sleep; I was forced to just lay there thinking about everything that I've done wrong. I had an urge to get up and go see Harry, but I knew that would show my weaknesses.

I get out of bed as quietly as I could to go into the kitchenette to get some water; maybe that would help my sleep deprived body. Again, trying to make the least amount of noise possible, I fail by dropping the water bottle. Once it hit the floor with a large smack, and a huge crinkle, water was covering the floor. Damnit. I go to get some paper towels when a door opens. My childish instincts kick in and I freeze, thinking that if I'm motionless, the person will not see me. But with my luck, my jerking motion lead to me slipping in the water and falling in the process. The person comes rushing over to me and helps me up. It was Liam, and with is concerning voice he asked, “Are you alright, love?”

“Yeah. My ass just hurts,” I said regaining my balance, “A lot.”

He laughed at my comment and said, “Why are you up? It’s nearly two in the morning.” Wow. I did not realize it was two. Niall and I stopped jumping at ten thirty-ish and the movie ended at eleven thirty-ish, I really couldn’t sleep.

“I can’t sleep. So I decided to get some water and it lead to a mess.” I said pointing to the floor.

“I’ll help you.” He said giving me another smile.  We both start soaking up the water with paper towels and are done fairly quickly. I got two water bottles and handed one to Liam, “Why are you up? I don’t think my accident was that loud to wake anyone up.”

“I couldn’t sleep either. Harry and Zayn are both snoring and Lou is taking up most of our bed.” He replied smiling and drinking some of his water. He was always so sweet to me, like the older brother I always wanted. He cared about all of the boys and too care of me too. Once the boys all decided to go out drinking while I was there, he stayed back with me so I wouldn’t be alone.

“We can switch rooms if you want, I can just take down mine and Niall’s barrier and bring it to Lou’s bed.” The moment that came out I knew that our cover would be over. I quickly slap my mouth as if it would magically make the words come back. Liam had the most confused look I have ever seen on anyone’s face before.

“Barrier?” He asked.

I replied with a shrug and Liam said, “I think you have some explaining to do.” He took my wrist and led me over to the couch and waited for me to start talking.

I explained everything from me still wanting Harry to my idea to make him jealous with Niall. Every emotion possible was coming out during our talk. And he was a great listener. If he didn’t understand something he would ask for clarification and ask me questions that made me think about my actions. No wonder he was the fatherly figure of the band.

“You know, flirting with Niall could just make Harry made and him not wanting you back, right?” Liam asked.

“I know…but I just wanted him to realize that this could have happened, you know?” I replied.
