Torn (One Direction)

Secrets don't make friends. Chapter 6

Still Niall's POV

"Jake, please, listen to me." She said her voice quiet and evident with exhaustion.

"Fine, I'll go. I hate you Jake!" She rolled over and didn't say anything for a few minutes. We were about to leave when she said something.

"Niall." She whispered quietly. We all turned quickly towards her. I stepped closer but she was still asleep.

"Niall, I need to tell you something." She whispered again and the boys turned to look at me. We looked back at Chloe and saw her shaking her head.

"Never mind." She muttered and rolled onto her other side. We stayed there for a few more minutes. She didn't say anything else, so we went back downstairs.

"Weird." Liam said and we all looked around.

"Very." Louis agreed and I shook my head.

"You okay buddy?" Harry asked and I nodded.

"Yeah. Just earlier me and Chloe almost..kissed." I said and they all grinned.

"Niall, she has a crush on you!" Harry said grinning.

"Guys, what's going on?" Chloe asked and we all turned towards her.

"Nothing." Harry said trying not to laugh.

"You guys are dufuses." She said and walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen.

"Hey, Chloe, did you know you talk in your sleep?" Zayn asked and we shot him glares.

"Yeah I know. It's a terrible habit and it's usually only when I have something on my conscience." She said grabbing an apple and biting into it.

"Well, anything you wanna tell one of us?" Harry asked grinning. She shot him a look like 'Wtf?'

"No." She said confused.

"Okay." He said laughing.

"You guys are idiots." She said and walked upstairs again.

"Niall, go talk to her!" Harry said pushing me towards the stairs.

"No. If she needs to talk to me, she'll come get me." I said and they shook their heads.

"Guys, I'm going for a run. Any of you want to come?" Chloe asked walking to the door.

"Sure." Liam said grabbing his tennis shoes.

Chloe's POV

"I didn't know you liked running." Liam said as we started jogging.

"There's a lot you don't know about me." I said and he laughed.

"I'm sure that's true." He said chuckling.

"So, earlier when Zayn asked me if I knew that I talked in my sleep, did y'all listen to me talking, or did you  just hear mumbling?" I asked looking at him.

"We sorta heard you mumbling something about you needing to tell Niall something but you didn't say what." He said and I gaped at him.

"You actually listened? How dare you!" I said sort of angrily.

"I'm sorry but it wasn't my idea!" He said and I pouted.

"You could've at least tried to stop them." I said and he chuckled.

"I could've." He said and I pouted again.

"I'm leaving you, Liam. Try and catch me!" I yelled starting to run away from him.

He was fast. No wonder they wanted him for the Olympics.

"Aaah!" I yelled as he tackled me.

"You're really fast." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm thankful for track, now could you get your fat butt off me?" I asked and he stood up.

"Thank you!" I laughed and sat up.

"So, you mentioned someone named Jake while you were sleeping. Who's he?" Liam asked and I gulped.

"He used to be my best friend." I said looking down at my feet.

"Oh. What happened?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I don't wanna talk about it." I said and he nodded.

"Okay, well, I'm here if you do." He said and I nodded

"I want ice cream." I said randomly and Liam laughed.

"Well come on I know a good ice cream shop that's not too far from here." Liam said helping me up.

"Let's go!" I said running around Liam.

"Okay!" He said laughing and running towards the shop.

"This place is awesome!" I said looking all around me.

"Go order." He said putting his hand on the small of my back and gently pushing me towards the counter.

"Hmm I'll have double chocolate fudge with gummybears, and sprinkles." I said smiling.

Liam ordered his ice cream and off we went.

**20 minutes later**

"Leeeeyyyuuuummm hurry up and finish your ice cream!" I whined. I had finished mine not too long after we got it..Liam on the other hand was very slow at eating ice cream.

"Okay." He said not hurrying up.

"Ugh your so annoying." I said walking backwards.

"Ugh your so weird." He mocked me and I shook my head.

"You know, I'm surprised I haven't bumped into anyone or fallen down yet." I said and he looked at me, confused.

"I'm very clumsy." I explained and he nodded.

"Hey, Chloe, watch your-"

" Holy crap! Ow! Liam, why didn't you warn me?"  I asked and he laughed.

"I was trying to." He said laughing

"Your mean." I said standing up and walking into the house.

"Hey guys, did you know Chloe's clumsy?" Liam asked walking in behind me.

"No, what happened?" Zayn asked and I glared at Liam.

"Don't you dare." I said still glaring at him.

"Well, Chloe was walking backwards and tripped. She looked like she was about to use her colorful vocabulary." He said and I glared. If looks could kill, I'd have no friends and the world would be deprived of One Direction.

They all raised their eyebrows at me. I shot them all death glares.

"I'm going upstairs." I said and walked over to the stairs.

I got up to the top of the stairs and started feeling woozy. I looked over and saw my dad sitting on my bed. I screamed and fell backwards. The last thing I remember was Niall yelling "Chloe!" And running to me.
