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

Chapter Twenty-Five xCate

"Wait what?"I asked bewildered.

"The lads are going to be on channel 27 tonight."Alex repeated. I had heard her the first time, it just suprised me for some reason.

"Okay,"I said shrugging, trying to play it off like I didn't care. But honestly, I was curious to watch.

"We should watch it."She said sitting down next to me. Did I really need to watch it? No. Did I need to stress about the interview? About what they were going to ask? No. But I might as well watch.

"Alright,"I said looking down at my hands, debating wether or not I should tell Alex about what had been going on when she wasn't around. Dalton kept coming back, asking for another chance, and when I would say no, he would hit me. Just on my arms, but he would still hit me.

"You okay?" She could always tell when something was bugging me.

"No actually, I'm not." I rubbed my wrists absently.

"What's up. I know you're still upset about Niall and-"

"That's not it. Dalton. He's been hitting me again. Just yesterday even. Came up to me, and asked me for another chance with me. One more! Please! he pleaded. I told him no and he hit me." I remembered when Dalton had hit me in the resturant and then how Niall punched Dalton, telling him to leave me alone. A lump grew in my throat. I quickly cleared it and looked at Alex.

"So he hit you. Again?"

"Yeah. Not incredibly hard but..."

"That's unexceptable!"

"Isn't it?"I grabbed the remote and turned on the telly to channel 27, trying to change the conversation, sorry that I had even brought it up.

"And next up...One Direction!"the host exclaimed. The crowd roared and it cut to commercials.

"I'll go make some popcorn."I said getting up. We always had popcorn when we watched interviews. I had put the bag in the microwave when Alex shouted,"Hurry up! They're on!"

I smiled. She sounded excited. Even if it was just to see Louis. My heart ached when I heard them introduce themselves. What happened? I thought Niall was perfect. That we were going to be together forever. How niave of me. The microwave beeped and I grabbed the bag and sat back down my Alex. I opened the bag and burned my fingers.

"Ouch."I muttered sucking on my index finger.

"Burn?"Alex asked, her eyes trained on the T.V.

"Yep."

The interview began with them talking about their recent tour and answered twitter questions and joke around.

"Chatty Man interviews are better." I muttered throwing a piece of popcorn into the air and catching it in my mouth. Ten. I thought, counting how many pieces I caught. Maybe something interesting would happen. Eleven. You never know. Twelve. The interviews can turn funny and perverted in a split second. Thirteen.

"Woah! Woah woah woah."Alex said shaking my shoulder.

"What? Did someone get murdered?"I hadn't been paying any attention, actually, I hadn't been watching and just vaugely listening.

"No but look at Niall! He looks horrible!"

I raised my eyes to the screen wairily and was shocked. My heart skipped a beat. He had dark dark circles under his eyes. His darkening hair stuck up everywhere in small tufts. His skin was pale and his cheeks were a little sunken in. A 19 year old should not look like that.
