One Step Closer (Sequel to OSAAT)

Chapter Thirteen.

-Ali's POV-

"Oh my God! No, why? What?!" Niall yelled after I told him what he demanded to know.

"I told you! I said you didn't want to know!" I said and he just stared at me wide-eyed.

"But... oh." Niall said and I sighed. "I should go."

"Niall, you told me that you wanted to know." I said and he looked at me again.

"Well, I didn't. So, hooray! You were right. I'm glad you're smart." he said and walked out of the kitchen. I followed him and he turned around when we got to the end of the halllway. "I need to think about this, Ali." he said and walked past me.

"Niall..." I said and started to tear up.

"Hey, now Ali, no." he said, but it was too late. I had started crying and he hugged me. "Ali, don't cry. I just need some space, okay?"

"Fine, leave. You wanted the truth, I gave you the truth." I said and pushed him off of me. I started to walk into my room, but Niall grabbed my arm and I stopped in my place. I turned my head to look at him.

"Ali... you did this, not me." he said and let go of my arm. He started to walk away, but I jumped on his back. Surprisingly, he kept his balance and just made sure that I didn't fall.

"Don't leave. Please," I said and I slid off Niall's back. He turned around and put his hand on my cheek.

"I just need time for myself, okay?" he asked and I nodded. I looked down and he lifted my chin. "You did this to me..." he said and I quickly kissed him. Not caring how much those words hurt me. You did this to me... Niall kissed me back and rubbed his thumb against my cheek. He pulled away while sniffling.

"I don't want to lose you either, okay?" I said to him.

"I never want to lose you... but I feel like I already did." he said.

-Lauren's POV-

"What are you doing?" Louis asked me as he walked into the room. I was picking up the stuff that belonged to me.

"I'm going back to college, that place where I live." I said and unplugged my phone charger. I put it in my purse and I put my phone with it. I had already gotten dressed. It was just back into what I wore yesterday, but I washed it, so we're good.

"You can't leave me!" he said.

"Louis, you're leaving me tomorrow, for like a month and a half." I said and he looked down.

"Touché." he said and I walked out of the bedroom, my purse on my shoulder. "Wait, you're leaving now?" he asked me and I nod.

"I have class today." I said and he wrapped his arms around me.

"Can I come with you?" he asked me.

"Um, no." I said and he picked me up a little. "Fine, you can, but I'm just going to be kissing Ricky for like two hours."

"I can deal with that." he said and put me down. He spun me around and pecked my lips. "Let's go!"

"Okay." I said and we walked to the door.

"Where are you two going?" Harry asked us.

"On a date!" Louis said and I rolled my eyes.

"Where I get to kiss other guys." I said and opened the door.

"Well, have fun?" Harry said and we walked out. We walked down the hallway and Louis walked to the elevator.

"I'll take the stairs." I said and he looked at me and held my hand.

"I'm not letting you go alone." he said and smiled at me.

-Harry's POV-

After the lovebirds left, I decided to eat all of the junk food the hotel offered us. After about ten minutes into my junk food feast, Niall called me.

"Hollo?" I said, my mouth filled with Cheetos.

"Uh... hi, is Lauren there?" he asked me and I quickly swallowed.

"You just missed her." I said and I hear him sigh. "Call her."

"She won't answer."

"Call Louis."

"He won't answer."

"Well, lord. Why do you even need her?" I asked him.

"Because! Reasons!" Niall said.

"What did Ali do?" I asked him.

"Harry. Can you just tell her, when you see her, that I need her?"

"Er... Is it bad enough that you had to rhyme? I don't think it's ever that bad, mate."

"Harold. Can you tell her or not?"

"Yes, I will tell her, chill out." I said and ended the call. "Geesh, my elders are so annoying." I said and stuffed a cookie in my mouth.
