Chapter 2- Feelings

Nicky's POV

I laid down in my bed thinking about the conversation Niall and just had. It ran circles through my head.

"Hey, Nicky wait !" he had called from behind me as I walked up the stairs. "Yeah" I said turning around to see him. His eyes met mine and my heart fluttered. All of a sudden I had butterflies. "You're bunking with Zayn, are you sure you want to do that?" he asked. He looked concerned. But I preferred the idea of bunking with him to any of the other boys, well except Niall of course. "He's the only one besides you I know, I don't think it would be a problem" I said. I mean Zayn was great. "Well maybe we could work out a way for us to bunk since you don't know Zayn very well. Him and Samantha know each other a bit" he stated. Before I could respond I heard her speak.

"Babe, are you coming to bed?" Samantha asked peeking her head out of the door. You could tell she was wearing lingerie. Oh No. I almost vomited at the thought. "Be right there" he said smiling. The way he looked at her, he never looked at me. Maybe I was confused. If Niall didn't want me I should just move on. It wasn't that simple. My heart ached as he turned and walked into the room. He turned back to me but I couldn't meet mis eyes. I just walked into my room and shut the door.Just then Zayn walked in. "Hey" he said smiling. "Hello" I responded , still saddened by the thought of what Niall might be doing in that room. Zayn seemed to sense my sadness and walked over to the bed and hugged me hesitantly of course. He didn't feel like a Stranraer though. He was warm and smelt like a fresh breeze. I almost got lost in his arms.

I walked to the middle of the hallway and yelled goodnight to everyone.

I walked back into my room. Zayn had fallen asleep. I was then reminded how tired I was. I went to lay down, plugged my phone in and then pulled the cover over me. Zayn and I had to share a duvet because we ran out. I soon fell asleep.

****

Just then Niall walked in. His face in shock. He just stared at me. Then he stormed out. I had to follow him. I wiggled out of Zayn's arms and ran out the door. "Niall !" I yelled . I ran around the house looking for him. He wasn't here. Gosh. Why was he mad. It's not like I did anything. I knocked on his door. Samantha answered. "What do you want?" she asked coldly. "Where's Niall?" I asked just as bitterly. "Not here" she responded closing the door in my face. Where could he be? I asked myself . Of course. How could I forget. He had to be in the back yard. I ran downstairs grabbed a tub of Icecream and went through the back door. I ran towards the tree and looked up. He had to be in the tree house. See when we were 11 we decided we needed a secret spot. So whenever either of us was sad we could go. No one ever knew about the tree house except us. Or at least no one mentioned it. I climbed the tree and pulled the door down. *knock knock* I tapped on the wood. It could only be opened by a key and I had left mine inside. "Who is it?" I heard a soft voice unmistakenly had to be Niall. " Who else?" I asked. "Secret Word?" I almost forgot there was a secret word. It was our favorite restaurant. "Patty" I exclaimed, and the door swung open. I pulled my body up and went in. "Expecting someone else?" I asked wondering why he didn't open the door as soon as I knocked. "I've been gone for a while, figured you wouldn't showed this to someone by now" he responded. "It's our secret spot" I said grabbing the ice cream tub. I forgot the spoons. I looked at Niall who went into his back pocket and took one out. I stared at him wildly. " A spoon in your pocket, seriously?" I was shocked. I knew he liked food, who didn't but wow. "Always be prepared" he chuckled. I realised how much I missed his laugh. I laughed with him. And we began to speak.

"So why are you here?" I asked. Still confused about what happened

"Needed to think" he stated.

"About what? Food?" I said jokingly, hoping he would laugh.

"What happend with you and Zayn ?" he said abruptly. I was still confused. It was none of his business. And nothing happened.
