In The Dark

Chapter 16

~ Niall's P.O.V. ~

Jocelyn has been asleep in my arms for a few hours now. Alyssa and Liam are both sleeping on the couch. Zayn is sleeping alone on the chair, and Louis and Harry went home together to sleep.

But I sit here awake. Something was bothering Jocelyn and I'm scared it's about her mom. And no matter how hard I try to stop thinking about it and sleep, I just can't.

She deserves to be happy. She will be happy, someday, I will make it happen. I will.

"Hey," I hear a whisper coming from the chair.

"Oh my God! You scared me!" I yelled at Zayn. "I wanna get out of here."

"I know you do. Do you wanna just leave?" he asks me. I laugh, thinking he's joking, only to see him staring at me with a serious look on his face.

"That's not funny. I can't just leave," I tell him.

"And why not? What are they gonna do? Sue you?" He laughs. I roll my eyes.

"They're letting me out tomorrow morning. That's good enough okay?" I say, hoping Zayn will agree.

"Fine," he huffs. I lay back down and cuddle up to Jocelyn.

"If you hate it here so much just leave," I say as I close my eyes.

"No. I can't leave," he says. I don't answer and just try to sleep. I hear his light snores minutes later, notifying me he has fallen asleep.

I finally drift off to sleep at the early hours of the morning.

I wake up to the bright sunlight with Jocelyn still in my arms. Liam and Alyssa aren't on the couch anymore, they must have gotten food or something.

Zayn is still asleep on the couch, I'm not surprised. I look towards the clock and it says it's 9a.m. I look out the window, watching the branches on the trees, sway from side to side.

"Morning," Jocelyn whispers to me. I look down to her and smile.

"Good morning," I whisper back to her. "I finally get out today."

"I'm excited," she says. "I can't wait to go home, knowing your coming with us."

We laugh together and she kisses my cheek as she begins to stand up.

"Want any breakfast?" She asked me.

"Yes please!!" I yell. She laughs and walks out of the room.

I grab my phone and go on Twitter. I check my mentions.

(Sorry if anyone had these twitter names, I'm not checking if they've been used or not)

"@niallismybae:Where are you Niall? Niall doesn't care about us guys.. #whereishe"

"@onedirectionloverrr: Niall seems to have disappeared. #whereisniall"

"@harrystagram: Did Niall leave us? #giveusniall"

I haven't tweeted in days. I finally decide to tweet:

"@Niallofficial: Guys, I'm still here, and I'm okay fyi. Feeling a lot better. Love you all!"

I turn off my phone and close my eyes. I hear the door open open.

"Who is it?" I asked. I heard footsteps coming closer to my bed.

"Its Alyssa and Liam," Alyssa says to me. She grabs my hand and says to me, "I hope you'll be out soon."

"I hope so too."
