Two days later, Niall stepped inside the studio in a really bad mood.

Nick had traveled out of the country the a few days previous and that meant no ride that morning.

And since Nick wasn't around, Niall had no one to wake him up that morning. And just by luck, he had slept through the alarm.

When he finally managed to wake up, it was already time to leave if he didn't want to be late, so he quickly showered and grabbed a cup of strawberries from the fridge that he'd put there the previous night. Then quickly called a taxi and as he wasn't feeling awake enough to drive himself.

The fact that Niall didn't have proper breakfast was a bummer because he was craving pancakes, chocolate chip to be specific.

He couldn't even pass by his favourite breakfast place to buy some because he was running late.

So he just hoped no one would get on his nerves because he was in an awful mood.

Niall found Brendan seated in the studio with Harry and his three friends. He couldn't be arsed about acknowledging them so he walked to the other side of the room and put his things away. Then he sat on the small black leather sofa and finished up his strawberries.

He was still hungry but he couldn't go out to the canteen especially because he was a few minutes late and he and Brendan had some stuff to work on. Although, Simon had given him the permission to take as much time from work as he needed because he was pregnant, he still didn't wanna feel like he was taking advantage of Simon so he stayed put.

Brendan smiled at Niall from across the room and threw a greeting his way.

"Morning, Ni. How are you?"

Niall rolled his eyes. For some reason he felt irritated to no end. He wasn't really okay but he didn't wanna tell Brendan that. Also he couldn't lie and say he was fine so he opted to stay quiet.

"Niall, I said how are you? Didn't you hear me?" Niall heard Brendan say again and he snapped.

"I fucking heard you the first bloody time. And if someone keeps quiet when you talk to them, it means they don't wanna speak to you. So fucking leave me the hell alone." Niall said through gritted teeth, surprising both Brendan and himself.

He felt horrible for saying that, but as he opened his mouth to apologize, the lads stood up and told Brendan and they would all be leaving.

Harry was the last one out the door and before he left, he looked back at Niall and smiled at him while Niall just rolled his eyes growing even more irritated.

He however, softened up immediately when he saw the apprehensive look on Brendan's face.

"I'm sorry Bren, I just, I'm having a really horrible morning and my back is killing me and I'm fucking hungry." Niall ranted, not even realizing that Brendan had moved was now infront of him.

"It's okay Ni, I understand. I know how hard pregnancy is." Brendan said and opened his arms for Niall who immediately stepped into the embrace.

When they broke the hug, Niall felt better and looked at his friend.

"I feel so much better, let's now get to work."

Lunch rolled around quite fast and Niall was still hungry. Brendan had tried getting him snacks from the vending machine on their floor but he was still craving pancakes.
