More Than Friends. (AU Niam)

Chapter 4

Liam's POV

I wake up to the smell of pancakes. I get up and groggily walk to the bathroom to realize what had happened. I sigh and walk back into my room and my mom has came up with my breakfast. I try to hid the bruises, but it's too late. Once she turned around from setting the breakfast down, she immediately saw it .

"What happened?!?"

"Niall and I got into a fight last night. He just forgot to take his pills." I decided to add that in in an attempt  to make her feel better. She has seen it happen before and knows he doesn't have much control.

"Alright. Are you going back over today?"

"Yeah. Just let me eat and take a shower and stuff." She nodded worrily and walked out leaving me alone.

I walk up to Niall's door and knock. I usually just walk in, but I don't want to make him even more upset. He opens the door just so his head is peeking out at me. His face is expressionless, emotionless.

"Can I come in?" He walks backward, opening the door for me. Still says nothing. I walk in and he closes it behind me and walks over to the couch and turns on the TV, acting as if I'm not here. I walk over to him and grab the remote and turn the TV off

"So you're not going I say anything? Are you mad or what? Just say it." I say angrily. Just want him to say something. Anything!

"I'm mad"

"I didn't kiss her-" I try to explain once again, but this time annoyed.

"I'm not mad at you." He trys to avoid me again by getting up and walking to the kitchen, but i grab his arm before he can pass me.

"Then why are you mad? Who are you mad at? Don't get mad at Aly. It wasn't-" 

"It's not her either! Okay!" He pulls back his arm and darts up the stairs

"Stop running away! What's wrong?!" He may be stronger than me, but I'm faster. I catch him before he's all the way up the stairs and pull him so he'll turn around. When he turns around there's a tear running down his cheek.

"Me! I'm what's wrong. I purposely didn't take the pills because I hate them! I hate being control by them but I get so angry when I don't. When I'm on them, I'm unhappy. When I'm not, I make other people unhappy! There's just no winning, Liam." he cries. By the end of his rant, there are tears pouring down his face. I pull him down a few steps and pull him into a hug. We just stand there in silence hugging for a few moments.

"You should have told me you were trying to get off them and control your anger." I mumbled into his shoulder, "I would have helped you."

"Well, I had only started yesterday. I was going to tell you, but then everthing happened. And I really wanted to try to get off of it on my own."  Niall has always wanted to be independent so this is no surprise.

I pulled out of the hug. "Did you take your pills today?"

"Yeah."

"Why?" I asked shocked. 

"I didn't want to get mad at you again so when you rang the bell, I popped them into my mouth before I answered the door."

"How about we start tomorrow?" He is my best friend and no matter what it takes, I will be there and help him through this.

"Yeah." He replied finally smiling  Want to get something to eat?"

"Sure," I wasn't really hungry but I know he feels better when he eats. "but what about my face?" I didn't want anyone to see me like this. A big purple bruise on my jaw.

"Alanna!" Niall yells up stairs for her. She walks down and she looks totally different. Instead of sweatpants and messy hair, she has skinny jeans and straight hair.

"Aly, can you help Liam with his bruise?"

"Will you take me to the mall?"

"Look who's happy today" Niall teased her. 

"I decided to not let him get me down." For 14 she sounded really mature.

"Well good for you." I smiled at her. "We will take you to the mall, but you have to fix this first." I say pointing to my face. 

"Alright." After about 10 minutes she says she's finally finished. We get into the car and drive to the mall. On the way there Aly kept insisting we change the station but since she was in the back seat, she didn't have much of a choice.

Once we get into the mall she goes off and Niall and I head to the food court. Niall got Chinese and I got Moe's.

"So do you want to go to any stores?" I ask after a few bits.

"Let's go to Vans. I need a new pair." We finish our food and head in the direction of the store. While Niall was looking at shoe's, and something  must have caught his eye because his whole mood changes. He puts the shoe back on the self and bolts out the store. I set the sweatshirt I was looking at down and walked out of the store. Once I walked out, I finally saw it. Ben.

Ben was Aly's Ex-Boyfriend. Not only that, but he was with the other girl. Thank god Niall did take his pills today. Thankfull Niall didn't run so I caught him easily.

"Ni, you don't want to do that," I warned, "Remember, you're trying to get off your pills and this won't help." He looks at me and huffs. Out of another direction comes Aly and she calmly walks up to them. After a minute or two of talking, the other girl drops Ben's hand and walks away. He trys to chase her and Aly walks over to us smiling.

"Ready to go?"

Little bit emotional. I now this is short and that's because i'm only editing it and I \'m not adding a lot of thing inbetween because it will ruin my plan. xx
