More Than Expected-A One Direction Fan Fiction {Completed}

Chapter Twenty-Three xCate

"Niall?"I asked sleepily, as I switched windows on my computer. It was around three in the morning and I hadn't been able to fall asleep so I had been on the computer.

"Hey Liah! What's up?"he asked grinning. His s's were slurred, and his accent had thickened, probably meaning he was slightly drunk.

"The celing. Now tell me, Niall are you drunk?"I asked him anyway.

"Uhm....yeah a little bit..."he said shrugging. I saw him jerk forward and he yelled,"Bitch! Stay in your lane!"

"Niall are you driving!?" If he was, he shouldn't be driving.

"I'm not. Josh is. Say hi Josh." I heard Josh mumble something like a hello.

"So why are you drunk and in a car?" I asked crossing my arms and leaning back in my desk chair.

"Well we had a smashing concert earlier and me and the lads went out for a few drinks to celebrate. Then Lou got into a fight and I decided that it was time for me to go, but I had had a few drinks...maybe more...not sure... anyway, I called Josh and he came and picked me up." He looked out the car window for a split second then said,"Josh you missed a turn."

"Well it's early in the morning, and I'm tired!"Josh exclaimed from the background. I rolled my eyes.

"Wait, Lou got into a fight?" I raised an eyebrow. I could see it happening if he was prevoked.

"Yeah, he punched the guy and then the other guy broke Louis' nose! Blood everywhere. Not sure what happened after that though." He gazed at me through the screen, looking tired, the light gone from his eyes.

"Wow....so where are the others?"I asked trying to keep a conversation going. It had been a while since we had talked. We'd both been busy, him with the concerts and such and me with school and volleyball.

"Not sure....Josh you missed it again."Niall stated. I laughed once then covered my mouth.

"Shut up Niall! Let me drive!"

"Fine then moody." Niall made a face, rolled his eyes and grinned at me.

"Gosh Niall.....how've things been going?"

"Pretty good.....still wierd not having you here. We haven't talked much either. So that sucks. Ehm...."he scratched his head thinking,"We're all tired and starting to miss home but it's fun being out on tour. Getting to see all the fans is great. Not getting to see you isn't though." I smield sadly.

"Yeah it's wierd not having you around either. I've been getting crap from kids at school. It takes everything not to go off on them. Sometimes Alex has to physically hold me back from a person. Dalton hasn't really made any appearances lately...note sure what's up with that....definately makes it less stressful." I yawned and ran a hand through my hair.

"What do you mean you've been getting crap?"he asked watching me.

"Well, they're saying how I don't deserve you, or that I'm a slut or a whore. That they deserve you. That I'm not pretty enough. Some have even said that you don't love me. Or care about me. That it's just an act. It just pisses me off." I rested my chin in my hand.

"What?!Don't listen to them. They're jealous and mean."His cheeks began to redden and he clenched his jaw. "And with the whole 'I don't love you' thing, Liah promise me you won't ever believe them. I love you, I really honestly do. Okay? You believe me right?" his voice had lowered and he studied my face through the camera. "I hope you believe me."

"I believe you Niall. I really do. And that's why it makes me so mad is because they don't know that you do love me! God they're daft!" I sighed and rolled my eyes. This conversation had taken a turn. My phone vibrated making me jump a little. I looked down and saw I was recieving a multi-media message from Alex. What in the world was she doing up this late? Probably doing the same thing as me. She was probably talking to Louis, discussing random things.
