Secrets

Chapter 38

I got home and I didn't see anyone here. I'm kind of glad that no one is. I don't want to deal with my parents asking questions. I just kind of want to be alone. I do want to talk to Niall though. I feel bad that I haven't been around him lately. I know he'll help be get over this. He's helped me get over things before. I walked inside, locking the front door behind me. I walked up to my room, setting my bag down. I pulled out my phone, calling Niall. He answered after a couple rings, "Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing. Can you come over and talk?"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"I'll tell you when you get here."

"Alright. I'll be there in about 10 or 15 minutes."

"Thank you."

"You know it's no problem."

We got off the phone and I smiled a little bit. I'm happy he's my best friend. I feel like if anyone else was they wouldn't be there for me as much as he has. He's been around for so much. I grabbed a blanket, walking downstairs. I know I haven't ate today. I need to. I mean when Niall gets here I'm sure he'll be hungry. I walked into the kitchen and found the number for the pizza place, ordering one. I walked back into the living room, turning on my TV. I put on my favorite show. I hope that Niall gets here soon. I'm sure that he will. He normally gets here pretty fast. I curled up under the blanket, watching my favorite show. Not long after that I heard a knock on my front door. I mean normally he just walks in. I wouldn't be mad if he did. I got up, opening the door. I forgot that I locked it. He gave me a small smile, walking in. I closed the door behind him. He looked kind of concerned. He hugged me, "Is everything alright?"

"Honestly I'm not really sure. I'm guessing not really."

"I'm so sorry, Allison. Do you want to talk about it now?"

"Can we talk after we eat? I ordered us a pizza."

He nodded, "Yeah, that's fine."

We walked back into the living room, sitting down. I got back under the blanket. I felt Niall put his hand on my back and started to rub in circles. I kind of smiled to myself. He used to do this all the time when I was upset. It normally makes me feel better. This time it's not really working. I've never loved someone like I love Louis and he lied to me. Not only did he lie to me but Lauren knows about us now. I mean she can't really show the school anything. She can't prove to them that we're together or were. I honestly don't even know. I saw my phone start vibrating on the coffee table. I know who it is. I don't want to hear what he has to say right now. I noticed that Niall decided to ignore it too. About 15 minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I'm guessing that it's the pizza guy. Niall got up, "I'll get it."

I heard some talking at the door then I heard it close. I saw him walk into the living room with the pizza box. He set the box down on the table, "Lets just eat in here."

I nodded as I sat up. I grabbed a slice of pizza and started eating it. I started to get nauseous while I was eating. I guess it's from me being upset. I could barely finish eating it before I laid back down. I felt Niall put his hand back on my back, "Are you already done eating?"

"Yeah. I started getting sick to my stomach."

"I'm guessing what happened really hurt you."

"It did."

I went back to watching TV while he was eating. When he was done he started rubbing circles on my back again. He mumbled, "What happened?"

"He lied."

I sat up, looking at him. He looked kind of confused and surprised, "He lied to you?"

I nodded, "Yeah, he did."
