Let Me Love You More Than This (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter Eight

Two more after this!! Just thought I'd throw in Lia's point of view. :) ~Blah

     I woke up the next morning in Niall's arms. He was snoring quietly next to me. I smiled and gently touched his bleach-blonde hair. I leaned my head back down and stayed there. I heard a door open and slowly turned my head to see Lia coming out of her room. I smiled at her blushed face. She looked over at me.

     "What're you laughing at?" she whispered. I continued to stare at her, afraid to wake Niall up if I moved or talked. "It took me a good ten minutes to unwrap myself from Harry's cage-like arms!"

     I laughed a little, but stopped when Niall moved a bit. Lia shook her head at meand went in the kitchen. While I shh-ed Niall back asleep, the elevator doors opened. In stepped Louis and Zayn. Louis grinned at Niall and me. He put a finger to his lips as if to tell me not to talk. I slowly lifted myself from Niall and moved behind Louis. He leaned down close to Niall's ear and yelled, "BOO!"

     Niall jumped up, shouting. Zayn, Louis and I were laughing hysterically. Lia came in the room with a bowl of cereal. She looked at Niall's face, then at us laughing. She put the bowl of cereal down and began laughing with us.

     Harry came out of Lia's room, but he was only wearing boxers. I looked over at Lia with my eyebrows raised. She understood what I meant and said, "I'm just glad he was wearing clothes last night." I laughed a little and hugged Niall as Liam arrived in the elevator.

     "I'm going to hurt Louis later." Niall said wrapping his arms around my waist.

     "We were just having a little fun." I said. I smiled and kissed him lightly. We separated as people started getting situated on the couches. Lia started going through her cellphone, and Harry sat down next to her and put his arm around her waist. She leaned into his chest.

     I sat down with Niall as we all started to watch the news and mingle a bit. I noticed from across the room as Lia froze and her eyes widened. I told Niall that he should go get some breakfast, then moved onto the other side of Lia. I told Harry to go put a shirt on, which he reluctantly did, and turned to Lia. "What's wrong?"

     She looked up at me. "My parents saw pictures of me on the plane and at the beach. They was me back home, or else they'll call the police." We both didn't speak. "What if your parents found out you lied to them?"

     I shrugged. "I haven't checked my phone." I got up and grabbed my phone from my room. I realized I had twenty-one missed calls and twenty-eight texts, most from my parents. I read a few of the texts, and they were about the same thing as Lia's problem. They wanted me home immediately, or else they'd burn my stuff and disown me. "Yup." I said sitting down next to Niall as Harry sat back down with Lia. "Same thing. Our parents want us back home." The whole room stopped and looked at either Lia or me. Only the TV could be heard for a couple seconds.

     "What?" Niall said to me.

     "No! Don't leave!" Harry said to Lia, his grip on her waist tightening.

     "I have to." she said. "They'll call the police if I don't."

     "What about you?" Zayn asked me. "You're eighteen."

     "They said they'd burn my stuff and disown me if I don't."

     "What?" Niall exclaimed again. I nodded and stood up like everyone else was.

     "I guess." Lia said sadly. "We should get packing." We dejectedly walked to our rooms and dug our suitcases out of our closets.

     "Maybe we can go back with you?" Louis suggested.
