BONUS CHAPTER - Niall's POV

A/N So pretty much I said way earlier that I'd do one, then I didn't because I forgot about it, and now here's an inside look into Niall's POV

It's been rough the past six to five months. Not only have I been scarred for life, mentally and physically, but Liam wouldn't help me through it. He did at first and he was really good about it, but when I had my breakdown that's when he decided he couldn't care for me anymore. So I moved back to Ireland. I was quite thankful my parents decided they wanted to move back, it made things easier and better for me to get my head around things.

I'm still not my old self, I don't think I'll ever be, that man was the scariest man I've ever been in contact with. But with therapy I've pulled through and made a huge turn around. Since Liam and I didn't speak; I couldn't bring myself to do so, I depended on Louis and Harry to fill me in. They weren't very helpful in that area, but they told me the same thing nearly everyday. Miserable. He was miserable. Until Louis's dick of an ex showed up to win him back and ends up sleeping around with Liam.

That hurt me more than him leaving me. We were each others firsts, and only's, now Liam's been off with some other guy and I'm this loser who hasn't slept with anyone besides Liam. 

But now, now things are better, and I'm feeling better, I can stand to talk and laugh and have a good time. I haven't been past any cafes that look remotely close to the one I worked at, and I plan on never doing that. 

Things aren't just better with me, they're great with Harry and Louis as well. I knew there was an engagement coming up, I could sense it with the two. They're so in love I knew it was bound to happen despite the five year seperation. And now, here I am, preparing to propose to Liam. There's of course the dread of him declining, but I'd perfer to think he'll say yes straight away.

Louis had now gone to work, and he knew of my plans. Harry was on the couch eating something healthy and Liam and I were in the kitchen eating our toast and cereal. I sat on Liam's lap and fed him spoonfuls of fruit loops. 

"Mmm. This is nice" he hummed. "Imagine what else we could do when they leave" Liam continued. 

It sounded rude, but I couldn't care less if I were honest. They were planning on leaving and starting their own family and that meant more space for Liam and I. 

"Mmm, we could do so much..." I turned so I straddled him. "Maybe have sex everywhere and anywhere we can?" I suggested. Liam rose an eyebrow, but then still leant in to kiss me.

"Just because I'm in the living room doesn't mean I can't hear you" Harry called out to us. I rolled my eyes and kissed Liam once more. 

"Let's go for a walk. I hate being stuck in this house all day" 

"Great! I'm up for it" Harry cheered from the living room and came into the kitchen to speak properly. "Hey, when are you guys heading back to work?" I froze I hadn't even thought about that.

"I go back next week, they were kind enough to give my job back after I went a bit... Weird" 

"You never told me that" I pouted. Liam apologised and kissed me. "I don't think I'll be getting any work soon" 

"You will baby" Liam told me kindly. He wrapped his arms around me then up to my face, where he cupped my cheeks and kissed me oh so passionately.

"You guys are gross" Harry teased then walked out of the kitchen. 

"You and Lou are worse!" I called back hoping for a reaction, but I got nothing. "Alright lets go!" I changed the topic and made my way to the door. 

It was nice to go for a walk, even if Harry complained he felt the third wheel. I haven't walked around Holmes much lately, despite the fact that I haven't been around in the past months.
