Chapter 12

~Niall~

"Harry Edward Styles, wasn't it clear that I said, 'Strictly no alcohol'!"Paul shouted at him, at the lobby.

God, there are 3 things that are absolutely embarrassing me. Harry's drunk attitude, Paul showing his wrath, and lastly, the intrigued stares of the guests and staff memberswho are also at the lobby.

Paul could've gone to Harry's room and ranted at him there! But no, he decided to share his wrath with everyone!

"Paul, can't you just shout at him at his room? People are starting to freak out." I whispered to him. "So?" Paul replied with a loud range. I gave him a stare but it he ignored it. "Sorry, it's just that, thislad, doesn't know when to stop with his drinking! Every time, you guys perform at some party or club, he drinks! Even if you tell on him just one glass, he ends up drinking 5 or more!" Paul said in a low voice, yet his range was still on the red level.

That level was the scariest one ever. I don't even know if there isn't a level when his rants are just chill. All levels have one thing in common: Shouting.

"Paul, Niall's righht." Harry's voice was still slightly slurred. He slept on our way hereso he was half drunk."Oh yeah? How would you know you litte drunk bas-" Paul was about to punch Harry when I stopped him from making a scene."Paul, don't even think about it!" I shouted at him. More people started staring. I was starting to get scared.

"Mate, I know I'm not myself right now, butif could at least pay attention to mee, thenthe less trouble there will be. Look around you.It's almost as ifyou're interrogating me!" Harrysaid softly.Paul softened andlooked around.He walked away but walked back to usand askedHarry, "Did you know, it was beer? Or, did some girl give it to you and you thought you could spend some time with her by drinking? Don't make the same mistake with Harriet." Paul whispered to Harry.

Harry's eyes widened when Paul mentioned his ex-girlfriend, Harriet. It's a long story.

"Charlotte gave me, she said it was Iced Tea so I thought it would be safe. Then, I realized that it wasn't. I, got tempted. Sorry." Harry's head was facing down. "I'll have a word with her later. For now," Paul pushed Harry's head, to face him. "Take a bath, get some sleep and make sure, this never happens again. Ever. Niall, take him to his room." I helped Harry walk and went to the elevator.

While waiting, I asked him, "What were you telling Charlotte before I saved both your butts?" "Huh? What the hell are you talking about?" Harry fixed his curls. "You were whispering something." "Well, it's none of your business." "Maybe, I can help." "Maybe, you should just shut up." He said, sounding a bit angry. Soften, a bit, god. I get it if you're drunk, but calm down. Did Paul teach you some of his ranting skills? The elevator door opened and 4 guests went out. We got inside and I pressed the button to our floor.

The door closed and we were both quiet. Suddenly, Harry spoke, "I was gonna confess to her." My mind went nuts. I became confused, a little weirded out and also a bit nervous. Harry's like a little brother to me, I wouldn't want him to get hurt again and I don't want him to experience the same thing that happened to me with her.

"You were gonna confess to her?" I asked.

"Look, I get it if you wanna scream at my face and say I'm an idiot," "No, I don't." "Yes you do. Stop denying it." "Fine. I do." "She really makes me happy, mate. She makes me feel good about myself, she helps me change into a better person and most of all, she's not like those girls whom you meet the first time and judge. She's a girl whom makes you feel ..."

Special.

"Special." Harry was grinning like a mad man."Aren't you afraid she might,turn youdown or something?" "I'm moreafraid of loosing her to someone else who can't make her happy." Hetold me.

That's some deep crap, Harry. Almost as deep as what I told her.

The elevator door opened and I led Harry to his room, which was at therightside of thefloor.He got in and I reminded him all of Paul's reminders, especially about the "no-drinking-alcohol" rule. I walked to my room which was the third room at the left side of the floor. While walking, I bumped into Louis, Zayn, Liam,Paul and the rest of the band went out of the elevator.

Paul was dragging Louis and Zayn to their rooms. "Thank God, I came back. Otherwise, my rant would go on for ages." Paul mumbled.

Liam was helping Sandy and Dan, they weren't too drunk but they were clumsy. "They fell like 3 times and didn't feel a thing. What in the world is happening?" Liam led them to their rooms.

Then, I heard two voices. One sober and another, drunk as hell.

"Come on, Josh. You don't wanna sleep her all night, do you lad?" I heard Charlotte's voice by the elevator. "But Charlotteee, I want somee moreee drinkssss." Josh begged her. I walked to them and saw Josh, lying on the floor. He's crazy drunk.

"You can drink tomorrow. A cup of coffee." I ducked and told him. "Non-decaf." Charlotte added. "Would you like some cream too?" We both asked him. We looked at each other for few seconds. "You guyssss, succckkk." Josh whined.

"Come on, lad. It's bed time! You can continue drinking... in your dreams." I pulled him up and wrapped his arm around my neck. "Stay on the other side." I told Charlotte. She went to Josh's right side and did the same thing I did.

"Look, a shooting star! Make a wish, guyssss. What did you wish for? I wishedor a fuggin' drinkkk." Josh pointed at the ceiling light. "I wished for you to keep quiet." I told him. "I wished for you to quit asking for a drink."

"Where's your room, by the way?" "Give mee a drink firsstttt." Josh begged. "His room is far from here. It's by the end of the right side. I was thinking if he could stay at mine and I'll just stay at his. I have hiscard anyway." Charlotte told me.

"Sure, where's your room?" "Over here, by the left side." Well, at least I won't be seeing her early in the morning. I found out her room was 2 rooms away from mine. She opened the door with her other hand and dropped him on the soft bed. "Wheere's my drinkk?" Josh whined. "Fine, I'll get you a drink if you shut up and close your eyes. Don't worry, I'm not gonna bring you a cup of coffee." I was.

"I'm gonna give you a real drink, lad." "That's what I'm talking about!" Josh excitedly said. "Well, wait here and we'll be right back." I signaled Charlotte for us to go and we quietly left. "Well, thank God that's over. I should probably go to his room at around 9 or 10." "No, I'll be the one to, uh, do that." She said. "Okay, sure. If you want to."

We walked until I saw my room and she suddenly said something absolutely surprising.

"Sorry."

"For what?"

"For tonight. I didn't... I didn't know, that it wasn't Iced Tea I gave him. I thought it was!" She explained.

First of all, why was she apologizing to me? She should be apologizing to Harry or to Paul.

"Tell that to Paul, he'll listen to you." I told her. I got my card and tried to unlock my door.

No luck, fudge.

"I did... He said it's okay and I should be careful next time."

I tried again. Nothing. What is up with this stupid card?

"Need a hand?"

"You know, just cause we had a few minutes of reconnecting there, doesn't mean we're automatically fine. We aren't Charlotte. We have things to fix. Face it." I shouted to her.I don't want to hear a dumb apology from her even if I wanted one or I didn't. I'm doing my best to avoid her.

When Harry told me that he was gonna confess to her, it came to my mind that my plan of forgetting her would come true. I don't wanna be a distraction to them. And most of all, I don't want Harry to turn against me or worse, think of me as his problem cause I can't let go of Charlotte.

"I know that we have tons of things to fix Niall. I do, I really do. But in those few minutes, I actually thought those things didn't exist. And someday, I hope they won't."

She left after that.

I tried my card one more time. It worked.

Maybe I'm not the distraction, but she is. And she's one of those distractions that are very unforgettable.
