Eccentric (Niall Horan)

Chapter 36

Nialls figure becomes more distant the more Louis drives. Soon enough he's gone, and my neck begins to hurt by the way I turned my head. I look down at my hands knowing that Louis will stay quiet for most of the drive. The car is full of tension, caused by the anger radiating off of Louis.

I clear my throat, annoyed by the silence and decide that I need some answers. Especially since Niall and arent on good terms right now.

"Louis" He glances at me. Barely a second. But I can tell he is cooling down. "Can I ask you something?" He doesnt say anything. He keeps his hand tightly gripping the wheel, and the other on his leg. Im not even sure he was aware of what I had said.

"Louis"

Nothing. Nada.

I try not to push him. He's already angry, he might drop me off like Niall did with Vanessa if I piss him off even more.

"What was it that you wanted to ask?" Louis coughs, clearing his throat. I turn to look at him. It was like he was being mesmerized by something he didnt even know I was talking to him in the first place. Now he's attentive and  straightened out.

"Im not even sure about it now" I wave him off. He sighs in relief but what I had thought wasnt important, now comes back in mind the more I think about it.

"Actually" Louis lightly chuckles knowing that I had a quesiton. "What did you mean on what you said?"

"What?" He glances at me again, furrowing his eyebrows.

"What you said" I repeat. "Same, you know, mistake. What did you mean about that? I cant help but think that it has to do something with Niall. I mean yeah its obviously about him, but you said it so..." Louis clears his throat indicating that he is going to speak. And finally im going to get some answers.

"Uhm well" He doesnt know what to say. Or better yet he is debating whether or not he should even tell me or not. 

"Are you allowed to tell?" If I recall, I remember Daniel/Danny telling me, he keeps a lot of secrets. Or who was it that had told me?

"Actually im not" He says so I nod understanding. I look back out the window looking at the trees. Beginning to count them. I always liked the sweater weather. 

"But Im going to tell you anyway" He says snapping my attention towards him. "I just need to tell you that, Niall keeps alot of secrets. And I really hate that he treats you like that. Its different, way different this time. So it makes me wonder and nervous about his odd behaviour" He really does look nervous though.

There's a long pause before he speaks. Giving himself more thoughts to think about.

"I have seen things, seen him do things that are just..." He doesnt go on with his sentence so instead he continues with something else. "Do you know how we all know each other? Do you know how we know Vanessa's mother?" He looks at me for the longest time before he focuses back to the road.

Ive never actually thought about it. I just simply thought they were all friends, the way like every other kind of friend meets.

"Daniel did mention that he recently was put into a foster home, which was the only reason why he moved here to Green Bay" None of them really mention their past.

"We all were put into the same foster home" Thats all he says. I have no comment to that whatsoever. I never even thought of them like that. They've been together all this time. Since when? So then that means that not all of them have parents? I was so upset about having Niall not understand that making fun of my mother got me really mad, when for all I know he might have not had one either.
