Chapter 4; Going Back Home


Sam's pov

After last nights events Niall wouldn't leave my side, we spent the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying each others company while Casey went back to her afternoon class.

Niall and me both caught up a little bit, just to put our feelings at bay before we have a proper heart to heart. It feels like it's been years since I talked to Niall about everything, and to be honest it has, which makes me sad however it just means that'll have a lot to discuss and catch up on once I go back home with him.

Talking about going back home, Niall told me I can leave uni today after my morning classes since they're my only classes for today and it's close to the end of the week, with it being Thursday, so we're going to travel back to London to his flat he shares with the rest of the boys. 

I'm walking back from my English lecture to the dorm so I can start packing for going to London for a couple months, me and Niall both thought it'd be best if I had a couple months off from uni so I could just relax and get my frame of mind right- so I'm just going to try and calm down, and hopefully find the steps to recovery with my brothers support. 

After gathering all my belongings and taking a couple photos of me, Casey and Daisy from the photo wall I start to pack, it doesn't take too long since I'd only half unpacked in the first place so in an hour and 30 minutes I was all packed and ready to go to my brothers house.

It's twelve thirty now and Niall said he'd pick me up at half one so I decide to call Greg since we haven't talked for awhile. I call Greg and he answers on the forth ring, we talk about the situation with me and Niall and how I'm missing more of uni but Greg said my mental health was more important however I'm still worried about catching up the time I'll lose to complete this degree. Me and Greg talked for around 30 minutes, saying goodbye because he had to get back to work.

Not long after I got off the phone with Greg, Niall texted me saying he was on his way up to my dorm. I texted Casey and Daisy letting them know I was leaving now and that I'd left them a letter by the fridge in mine and Casey's dorm. 

Me and Niall grabbed my bags, with one last look around the dorm, we left the uni and wouldn't be seeing it again for awhile. This was my time to start afresh, get rid of bad habits and finally find myself.

During the drive to the airport Niall told me that the boys would be staying back here, in Ireland, for a day  so I could get settled in to the house in London which I'm really grateful for since it allows me to talk to Niall and set things straight. It also allows me to get used to the house itself, which may sound a bit odd but I can become really anxious when at a new place with people I don't know but I guess it's just another draw back from my anxiety.

We are catching the plane at two and we should arrive in London at half three. The plane ride was short, considering its only an hour and thirty minutes, so I just read my book while Niall did whatever he was doing on his phone. After landing the airport staff gave us our luggage which I didn't really get because I thought we'd have to get it from the conveyer belt, I gave Niall a confused glance but he just shook his head so I shrugged it off and followed him into the airport.

Once in the airport I was met with  screams and bright flashes in every direction, I didn't know where to look and slowly felt myself becoming overwhelmed. This was not the time for me to have a freak out, I started to walk more slowly- distancing myself from Niall because I felt trapped and couldn't really catch my breath.  Niall soon noticed that I wasn't by his side and caught hold of my arm so he could pull me close, he whispered soothing words to me as he tucked me into his side shielding me from whatever was going on- I kept my eyes shut tight as the screams slowly got distant. "Sam, hey its alright, you're going to be okay, nothings going to hurt you I promise", I looked up as Niall spoke however my vision was burly. I guess I started to freak out back there and began to cry without realising, I wiped my eyes dry of tears and leant on Niall again- I felt so tired and just really wished this hadn't happened. "Ni could we please go home" I mumbled looking at my feet, I felt him nod as his grip on me tightened,  he led us to what I presume is the car taking us to the house.

We walked for a while longer but we were soon at the car which would take us to Niall and the rest of the boys house.  The journey was short and just consisted of the radio providing background noise while Niall and I just kept to ourselves during the 30 minute ride. The car arrived at this modern house which just looked so lovely and spacious- I was taken back for a minute since I was used to our little cottage back home in Ireland. The house was located away from the busy streets of London and a field was across from the house, the road where the lads lived didn't have many houses but on the other side the block of houses was much bigger and you're able to hear the light buzz of traffic- I spent a couple minutes just observing the surroundings. 

"Come on Sam, lets head inside" I heard Niall call from the driveway, I turned and began walking towards him once I reached him we both went inside. I guess you could describe the house as large but to me it had a comforting and cosy  feeling about nor did it feel as big as it looked from the outside.

Niall showed me around the house, he told me that the house consists of seven bedrooms, one being downstairs, with four of them having their own bathroom. He showed me the living room which connected to the kitchen-being separated by a wall.  The tour of the house finished off with the 'study' or as Niall called it the serious room, it was the room in which the boys could work in if they got an idea for a new single or something- it contained a small recording booth and had a work station with a load of paper and stationary on, Niall saw my gaze was focussed on it and explained that Zayn liked to come here to draw sometimes. "So this is basically a room for you and the boys to work or destress without getting in each others way" I said to Niall, "Yep" he responded giving me a big grin.

After Niall showed me the house, we ordered pizza and just relaxed watching tv for the rest of the night. 

We'd been sitting down for awhile now just watching tv when all of a sudden I felt really sleepy, I guess it due to the fact  so much has been happening this past week and that I didn't get much sleep so I snuggled further into Niall and he told me to just sleep- that it'd been a long day and we could talk about everything within time but that he also needed to talk to me about something in the morning, I simply nodded my head in response- too sleepy to do anything else while I felt myself slip into a deep sleep.
