39. His birthday.

Niall's POV.

I went inside the bus as I hung up my phone. She never failed to make me laugh, I really miss her, I really miss my mum. I wanted to celebrate my birthday with her, with my whole family but Theo is currently in the hospital and no one will look after him.

I wanted to fly in Ireland right now but I have no choice. We have a concert tonight, during my birthday. I am busy with my career while my nephew is in the hospital. I have nothing to do. What kind of uncle am I?

Sighed, I notice Caity was sitting on the couch, looking from afar, miserably thinking, so I sat next to her. Why is she so lonely? It's because our kiss earlier cut off?

"Hey." I manage to say, trying to start up a conversation.

Her head slowly turn towards me, she smiled, "Hey." Well, not a genuine smile, I should say.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She took a deep breath, nodding her head repeatedly before answering, "Yes."

"Looks like you're-"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" I was cut off by the three boys, their hands were up in the air, requesting for a hug. C'mon, they ruin my moment here and barged in like a mushroom.

"I-I'll just take a shower," Caity said to me, before standing up. She just smiled with the other boys as she past through them.

"What's up, lad?" Liam asked in confusion, eyebrows rose.

I shrugged my shoulders, I don't exactly know what's her problem. All I know was, I did nothing.

"She heard you, I guess." Zayn came out from somewhere and sat on the couch, eyes slowly blinking.

"Heard what?" I asked, my mind was totally out of the topic. It's like a puzzle, it's hard for me to understand. I was there with my phone, outside, talking to my mum, for only two minutes and I came back to this?

"She heard you say, 'I love you so much' in the phone." He shrugged his shoulder.

"And how did you heard it?"

"I woke up due to your uncontrollable laugh so I slightly pulled my curtain, I was searching for you to say 'shut the fuck up' but then my eyes went to Caitlyn. She was looking outside, clearly listening to you and when the time you finally shut your mouth up, her face fell." He explained further.

"I was talking to my mum." I said, sounded like a question while lightly shrugging my shoulder. What's the problem if I talk to my mum? What's the problem if I told her I love her? What's the prob-what the fuck.

Misunderstanding.

Caitlyn's POV.

After I took a shower, I sat on my bunk while combing my wet tangled hair. I reached up for my phone once I heard it rang.

"Hello?" I said as I swipe the green button on my screen.

"Caity! Goshhh," It's been a long time since the last time I heard her squeaky voice, it's El.

"Hey, what's up girl?" I said.

"Want to come over? I am stayin at a hotel right now and it is not that far from the Stadium, it's just a 5 minute ride." She quickly replied.

"Oh, okay?"

"I'll just text you my address, okay?"

"Okay."

She hang - up the phone call and afterwards, I received her message.

I don't know why exactly she wanted me to go there but I guess this is the right time to go somewhere and refresh up my mind.
