It's Always Been You

Chapter 2

Before we know it, we are back at the hotel. Louis, Liam and Zayn went back to their rooms to get some rest but Harry invited Hayley and I over to his room for a bit to just hang out. Niall came soon after we got there.

"Man, I always get a rush of adrenaline after playing shows like this! I love doing this," Niall says as he plops down on the couch next to me.

"You guys did amazing tonight, like always," Hayley said with a smile.

Harry scoffs, "Oh please, we are just that good."

As he says this he leans back in his chair and nearly falls off because the back cushion wasn't strong enough to hold him up.

"Oh yeah, so great," I say with a wink.

Harry just rolls his eyes and gets up to get a water from the mini fridge.

"You guys want anything?" he asks.

"Nope, I'm good," I say.

"Nah," Hayley says.

"Yeah man, get me some water," Niall replies.

Harry grabs him a water and just throws it in the general direction of where Niall is. Which is near my face. Niall reaches his hand in front of me before it hits me and winks at me when I look at him.

"I got ya, J." he says with a smirk.

"Thanks, Niall." I say with a small smile.

He chuckles and turns to Harry.

"Mate ya gotta work on your aim. You almost nailed the pretty lady in the face!"

Harry smirks at me and I start blushing.

"Sorry bout that, J. Won't happen again."

I look at Hayley who is glaring at Harry. He just shrugs it off and laughs.

"Hey, Hayley can you help me with something? I need to grab ice but I need more than one tub of it. Let's go," he says as he grabs Hayley and yanks her out the door. Now it's just Niall and I.

Thanks a lot, Harry.

"He is something else isn't he?" Niall laughs.

I just smile and nod, "Oh he's something alright."

Niall smiles and turns to look at me.

"How have you been, love? I haven't really talked to you in a while."

"I've been alright. Just kinda been missing home a little bit. Not gonna lie I'm still not used to being on the road for a long time like this," I admit.

Niall smiles, "Believe me, I'm still not used to it either. I miss hanging out with Greg and my parents and all my other friends back home. Sometimes when I'm on stage, I just look around in the crowd and think 'Is this really my life?' because it's so unreal. But I love it."

"You all deserve all the success you have. You've worked your asses off for this. Hayley and I always stand backstage and talk about how proud we are of you boys. It's crazy how far you guys have come in the past 4 years," I say with a smile.

Niall grins and takes a sip of his water. He opens his mouth to speak again but he's cut off  by Harry flying through the door with Hayley close behind carrying in 2 containers of ice. She sets them down on the counter and looks at him.

"Ya know, you could've helped me with that," she says.

Harry goes over to her and kisses her forehead.

"But you looked so cute carrying it, I didn't want to disturb the cuteness."

I roll my eyes and Niall bursts out laughing.

Hayley fights her way out of his grasp and giggles.

"Well we should be heading back to our room. Goodnight guys, great show tonight," Hayley says as she kisses Harry on the cheek and goes to Niall for a hug.

"Night, guys," I say.

Harry hugs me and whispers, "I can talk to him if you want."

I just shake my head, "If you want to drop some hints the go ahead. Just don't come out and tell him."

Harry nods and smiles. I go over to Niall and he gives me a kiss on the head as he hugs me.

"Goodnight, J," he says.

I smile, "Goodnight, Niall."

He smiles at me and I follow Hayley out the door.

We get back to our room and I plop myself down onto my bed and sigh.

"You alright?" Hayley asks.

"Yeah I'm fine," I reply with a yawn.

"Sorry about curly. He was trying to help you."

I laugh, "Yeah I got that. We didn't really talk about much. We just talked about tour life and missing home and stuff like that. But I'm exhausted I'll tell you more tomorrow. Goodnight, hun."

"Goodnight, lovely," she replies as she gets settled.

I'm just about to put my phone on the charger when I get a text. I look at the screen and it says:

NEW MESSAGE: Niall Horan(:

It was nice talking to you tonight, even though it was just for a couple minutes. Wanna talk more over breakfast tomorrow? (:

I instantly smile and reply:

I'd love to (:

My phone buzzes again:

NEW MESSAGE: Niall Horan(:

Great! Meet me in the lobby around 9. I'm paying so don't you even think about bringing money! I know how you are (;

I reply again:

Gotcha! Hey, what's the supposed to mean Horan? (;

Buzz:

NEW MESSAGE: Niall Horan(:

Oh nothing(; Just get to sleep! See you in the morning, love! Sweet dreams (:

Once again, I reply:

Goodnight, Niall (:

I shut my phone off and put it on the charger for the night. I then just layed there for a minute or two and smiled to myself.

Tomorrow is going to be great.
