Chapter 153

Kelsey POV

"Where are you going? Is everything alright?" No. Absolutely. Nothing. Is. Alright. 

"Kelsey?" Philip says again and brings me out of thoughts. 

"Yes? Ehm yeah everything is alright." Lie. It’s a big fat lie. Maybe, it would be the best if I just run out of the house. He wouldn’t be able to ask me anymore questions.

"You're lying don't tell me otherwise or why are you looking to the ground?" Damn it. Why do I always have to make it so obvious?

"I just want to go home. I'm not in a great mood today and I'd probably ruin your evening anyway." I look up and our eyes lock. Wow. I haven't noticed his deep blue eyes on Thursday. How could I miss them? 

"No you wouldn't ruin our evening. C'mon, let's go back to the others." He puts his arm around my shoulders and nods towards the back garden. I guess I have no other option than to stay a bit longer and have to listen to Jack mocking me and the others talking about One Direction. 

"Only if you can hand me a glass of wine right away." Alcohol can sometimes be the best solution, in situation like the one I'm in right now.

"Sure, that's something I can do." Philip smirks and walks into the kitchen. A few seconds later I hear him taking a glass out of the cupboard. I don't want to go back to the garden all by myself so I decide to join Philip and help him with my drink, not that he needs any help with opening a bottle of wine and then pouring the liquid into the glass.

"You need any help?" I ask Philip and lean against the door frame. 

"Not really. So will you now tell me why you wanted to run out of the house or are you still going to pretend that it's because you're in a bad mood?" Philip eventually hands me the wine and I talk a huge sip. The last time I was drunk was at Niall's party in London. It feels like years ago when I was trying to make him jealous and failed miserably by ending up in his bed, he on top of me. Everything felt so good so real and he made me feel things I've never imagined I could feel.

"Sorry but I have to go." I burst out and press the empty glass into Philip's hands. His place is not the place I should be now. I should be somewhere else. How could I not go? 

Niall POV

It's past two in the morning when I eventually walk into my bedroom and close the door behind me. Everyone already went to bed apart from me since I didn't feel like going to sleep. I was still too emotionally invested in our performance from earlier. But after the movie was finished I decided I should go upstairs and might go on twitter or watch another movie on my laptop. 

I quickly turn on the light and kick my shoes off my feet. It’s unbearable hot inside my room so I decide to open both windows to get some fresh air. I definitely won't sleep with a shirt on tonight, just my boxers that is. 

I hurry over to the windows and open both of them.  The wind is blowing outside and inside room and it's cooling down right away. I peel myself out of my vest and pull the shirt over my head before I inhale and exhale deeply. Somehow I feel good and calm. I haven't thought about Kelsey in hours simple because I told myself to stop and get my "shit" together.
