Midnights.

Chapter 93 - Shocked.

CHAPTER 93

His words immediately make me realize that staying in a hotel will be much better than staying with him. They leave me silent, my lips not being able to produce words at all. So he takes this as a great opportunity, then? To use the shit out of me, to spend a God damn day with me when Harry’s not around? If it’s ought to be for ‘just-friends’ sake, I will directly say yes. Look, I don’t wanna sound too confident but I insist that I swear that eye gaze is the same one Harry shared to me when we first met.

I guess he recognizes the immediate frozen state of me. It’s proven by the sound of him laughing, I can bet you three million dollars that he’s trying his best to fake the freaking laugh.

‘’I was just joking!’’ Oh, really?

‘’You should just see your.. frozen expression.’’ He still tries to laugh. Really, his effort is so noticeable. I really want to slip away and not interact with Niall anymore, I swear this all is awkward.

‘’Yeah, I should.’’ I eventually reply with an awkward smile. God.

‘’Look, I’m sorry. You can go to sleep now. See you next morning, perhaps?’’ He offers me another smile.

‘’Yeah.. Well, um.. goodnight.’’ I say and directly go to ‘my’ bedroom. I can still feel Niall eyeing on me as I walk towards the room, and I mentally smack myself for directly accepting Niall’s offer to stay in his damn house whilst in the airplane.

I close the door behind me and inhale some air, for some moment I decide to enjoy the deep silence of midnight. There is no more sounds produced by Niall, no more thoughts scattered about my problems with Harry, and no more headache kicking the ass of my head. Just silence. This is all I genuinely need, but why do I just realize it?

But actually I can’t enjoy this silence for too long though, as I have to wrap the presents for Niall and Liam.

Niall’s P.O.V

‘’Niall, who are you gonna sit with? You know, in the plane.’’ Louis nudges me. I stop paying attention to Twitter and look up, ‘’Hmm, I don’t know. I can just sit with anyone, though.’’

‘’Liam wants to sit with me, he said he wants to do some heart-pouring.’’

‘’Isn’t he supposed to sit with me? You know, to arrange our party at September the 14th.’’ I say, scrolling through Twitter again. I’m doing a little followspree for I haven’t done it for quite long.

‘’I don’t know,’’ Louis shrugs. ‘’I thought the same but he insisted.’’

‘’Well, I can just sit alone. Or with Zayn,’’ I say. ‘’Luna is going to sit with Harry huh?’’ I can’t help but feel my heart slightly being stabbed by my own words. The thought of Luna and Harry sitting together, being literally together 24/7, aches my heart.

‘’I don’t think they’re gonna sit together.’’ Louis cooly says, as he doesn’t know that I’m very happe by that statement. Of course he doesn’t. No one does know my secret feelings to Luna, except for myself and God.

‘’Why?’’ I try not to sound so happy.

‘’I think they’re having a fight, I mean this is just my perspective but last night Luna showed up in a nightclub I was in alone. Harry did call me, though, to find her. I don’t know too,’’ Louis explains whilst playing with the stumble on his chin. He seriously needs to shave it off, for goodness’ sake.

‘’Be careful with your perspective,’’ I laugh.

‘’I know. I just can’t help it.’’ He shrugs.
