Catch me if you can [NARRY AU]

Chapter forty-nine

First of all, thank you all for 4k votes! I had no idea you lot were reading this anymore, so thank you! I wanted to let you know that I dropped out of college, so I have a lot more time to write :) Also, this chapter isn't edited, and I have a new phone with no English autocorrect, so if I write something the wrong way, please tell me! 

I went back to the hotel, after I made sure Zayn had eaten. I got out of the cab and paid the driver. I sighed as I walked into the building, not wanting to talk to Liam, or my mum, but I knew I had to talk to at least one of them. I decided to  talk to Liam, hoping that was a bit easier now that he had time to cool off. I nodded at the receptionist and took the elevator up, too tired to walk the stairs. If it was physical or emotional tiredness, I didn't know, but it didn't matter.

I arrived at our shared floor and slowly walked to Liam's door, knocking softly in the hopes he didn't hear me, so I could tell my consious I at least had tried. But the door opened and I gasped because Liam's eyes were red and his cheeks blodgy. It was obvious he had been crying. He looked at me with this blank look, and I had no idea what could have gone through his mind. He just kept looking, not making an attempt to speak or to move so he could let me it. It freaked me out.

"Liam?" I asked, and he blinked, shook his head and stepped aside. As I walked into the room, I saw he had laid on the bed, one side perfectly made and the other side in dessary, making me winch. It was a painful reminder he was here with Zayn once, it all seemed so long ago. I carefully sat down in a chair after it was clear he wasn't going to yell at me to get out, at least not yet. Belive it or not but I knew what Liam was going through, eventhough I had no idea how to help him. I was as helpless as he felt, and all i wanted to say to him was that I understood. But I knew I shouldn´t, because that is not what people want to hear in this situation. I knew that too. 

Liam walked over to the bed and sat down, careful not to sit on Zayn´s spot, but grabbed the pillow instead and held it tight against his chest. It stung, seeing your best friend like this. I sighed, not knowing what to say to him, but figured I had to say sorry. 

"Liam, I am sorry. I know Zayn is important to you, and I won't bring him in danger. However, Niall is as important to me as Zayn is to you, so I won't break up with him. Iam sorry but that is my decision." I said, not letting my voice go weak. I looked at him and he just looked at the pillow, tears started forming in his eyes again. He looked up to me, and they began to flow.

"I know Haz, I know. It was stupid for me to ask that, and not at all what I wanted. I'm so sorry, I just got panicked, you know?" He said between sobs, and I walked over to him to wrap my arms around his shocking body. Of course I did understand, I did. I knew in the very beginning of Niall's disapperance I was unreasonable, so it was only normal for Liam to react the same way. 

"It's okay, it's okay. It's going to be okay." I whispered to him, rocking the mess that were our bodies. He sobbed some more, and I let him. He needed to let it all out and I needed to be there for him, I had left them on their own for too long, too busy with myself and my feelings, I had been so selfish. 

Liam's phone started to buzz on the nightstand, but he made no attempt to get it. Knowing it could be important, I leaned over to grab it to see it was an incoming call from Louis. Butterflies started to form in my stomach and I shoved the phone in Liam's face. He clamed down a bit and told me to answer it. I pressed on the speaker and answered.

"Took you long enough." Louis voice snorted, and I rolled my eyes but smiled. Under the circumstances he was still able to keep us cool and we really needed someone to stay calm in this mess of feelings and emotions.

"Shut up will you, and tell us what you've got." Liam said, and I gave him a soft smile. 

"wait, you're not driving, are you?" He then said, really concered. You could almost hear Louis roll his eyes.
