From Fame to Failure? (A 1D FanFic)

Chapter 4

RECAP:

He kissed my forehead, “It’s ok, love! You got hurt and have every right to ask for things you need!” I softly smiled at him. I stared at his lips longingly. I wanted to kiss him so bad. I looked back up at his eyes and followed his gaze to my lips. I looked back at his lips. His lips were a soft pink and slightly parted. Was I really falling for him? I couldn’t be! We were best friends! He leaned down towards me. I pushed myself slightly up trying to meet his lips. I closed my eyes and waited for his lips.

“LIZ, I FOUND THE PILL- Oh,” Louis saw us. I rolled my eyes and sat back up.

Niall seductively whispered into my ear, “Sorry, love.”

I smiled softly, “Thanks Lou,” I said genuinely with a hint of sarcasm. I guess he heard the sarcastic part.

“I'm so sorry Ellie! I didn’t mean to… You guys can go back to it,” he looked down.

I laughed, “Thanks but we won’t even if you left the room!”

Liam and Harry got back in and Harry heard that last part, “Won’t do what? What did I miss?”

Louis grinned and yelled, “HAZZA!!!  ELLIE AND NIALL WERE ABOUT TO MAKE BABIES BUT I STOPPED THEM! ELLIE NEEDED HER PILLOW!”

I rolled my eyes and Harry laughed, “Niall what did we tell you about making babies on the couch?” Niall stared at Harry as though he was going to kill him, and I had no doubt he was going to get back at him. I laughed really hard at Harry’s comment and accidently rolled off the couch. Louis just stared and laughed at me, I glared at him.

Zayn who I guess had gone to the kitchen earlier ran to my side, “Beth, you okay?” I nodded. I got back on the couch and propped my ankle up. The boys sat either around me or on the other couch. We sat there silently for a bit and then someone spoke up.

Harry cleared his throat, “Anyone want to watch a movie?” We all nodded, “Eliza you pick!”

“Yeah, E, why don’t you pick! I’ll go make some popcorn!” Niall hopped up and headed to the kitchen. I frowned slightly when he moved, his body next to mine felt so nice. I looked through their Netflix and settled on Paranormal Activity. I sat up a bit more and tried to place my ankle on the ground until someone coughed and four of the boys were staring at me. Niall walked back in and I shifted so my foot rested across the couch to the chair leaving Niall a place to sit. When he sat down I scooted back a bit so my head lay in his lap. Half way through I was shaking and jumping at every noise. I turned my head towards Niall and he rubbed my arm. After a while the movie was over and Harry was asleep on top of Louis on the floor and Zayn was sprawled out on the other couch asleep. Liam had the chair and he was curled up in a ball peacefully. Niall and I were the only ones awake.

“Hey E, want to head up to bed now?” he whispered softly, I nodded. I stood up and he shook his head next thing I knew he was carrying me bridal style up the stairs. I gripped onto his neck. I was still shaking somewhat from the movie. He opened a door and set me on a bed. He shut the door and for a second the room was dark. Suddenly a light in the corner came on and I saw Niall standing there realizing he brought me to his room.

“Do you want a pair of my shorts and one of my shirts or do you want me to get pajamas from your room?” he whispered softly.

I shrugged, “Your stuffs fine. Why am I in your room though?”

He smiled at me, “I'm not letting you sleep alone when you're so incredibly scared,” he threw me some clothes and headed to his bathroom, “change there so you don’t have to get up. I’m going to hop in the shower so you have time.” I nodded and he walked into his bathroom. I got changed and noticed he had handed me a pair of plain boxers and a white Jack Willis shirt. I changed and folded my clothes and set them on the floor next to the bed. I flipped up the covers and crawled under them. They smelled like Niall, I smelled like Niall. And I felt warm and safe. I closed my eyes and must have doze off, I startled when I felt the bed shift. I opened my eyes and noticed a shirtless boy in front of me. He scooted closer to me and I closed the gap between us snuggling up to his bare chest. He laid an arm over my waist. I smiled into his chest and he softly started to sing a song I vaguely recognized but I couldn’t remember the name.
