I would die for you, but I won't live for you -Niall Horan au

The night was going pretty well. I haven’t had to deal with any pervs yet. “Pay, I’ve got someone for you to drive home.” Nick said. I sighed and grabbed keys out of my pocket. “Here, put them in my car.” I said, throwing the keys at Nick.

“I just have one more order.” He nodded and disappeared. My shift was pretty much over so this was the last thing for me to do tonight. I quickly grabbed the drinks and brought them to the table that ordered them.

“Hey! Boss wants me to work another hour, so I’ll be home later.” Riley said, following me to the exit. I nodded at her and left. Once I got into my car, I found a boy sitting in the passenger seat with his head against the window.

“Where am I taking you?” I asked. He stayed quiet and didn’t stir at the sound of my voice. “Excuse me.” I said, trying to get his attention. I leaned over to look at him but couldn’t since his hat was pulled over his face. I could see some hair sticking out though, it looked like a reddish colour.

“Home.” He mumbled. I had no idea where his ‘home’ was but I couldn’t just leave him here. He needed to sleep this off. I started my car and drove off. I don’t know why I was doing this, but I had no other option.

Once I pulled into the driveway of the building, I made my way over to the passenger side and opened the door. I had already undone his seatbelt and was pulling him through the sliding doors. “Still can’t believe I’m doing this.” I mumbled.

I pulled out a set of keys and unlocked the door. I pulled the boys body through my apartment and set him down on the couch. Before I had time to look at him, he turned over and buried his face into the pillow.

“Whatever.” I mumbled, making my way upstairs to get a quick shower. I don’t know why I wanted to see his face so badly, or why I even brought him here. I’d usually just grab their phone and call somebody for them.

Maybe it was because he was sleeping and I didn’t want to wake him? Yeah, that was probably it. As soon as I jumped out of the shower, my stomach rumbled, letting me know it was time to eat.

“There’s a rumbly in my tumbly.” I giggled, quoting Winnie The Pooh. I threw on my superman pajama shorts and white t-shirt. I put my hair up into a messy ponytail and walked back downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge door. There weren’t many options that I could choose from. I quickly decided on a peanut butter sandwich and thought that I should write out a grocery list and go shopping tomorrow.

I went to the cupboard to grab a plate and there was none. I looked over at the sink and saw them piling up. Great, another thing I would have to do tomorrow. I heard the front door open and close as I thought of food we might need.

“Hey slut.” Riley said, walking past the kitchen. “Hey.” I said, mouth full. I expected her to make a comment about the guys she was talking to earlier but she didn’t. “Um, Pay?” She called.

I poked my head around the corner to look at her. “Yeah?” I replied. She was in the living room, standing over the couch. “What,” she pointed at the body. “Is that?” I let out a laugh, walked over to where she was, and explained what happened.

After I finished, she rolled her eyes and reached into the boys’ pocket and pulled out his phone. “Just go with the procedure.” She said, mimicking our boss. She went through the contacts, but a look of confusion came across her face. “What?”

“Every single number is long distance.” She said. I shrugged and started walking back to the kitchen. “Guess we’ll have to wait till he wakes up then.” I called over my shoulder.

I woke up to some loud noise coming from the kitchen. I groaned and turned to look at the time. Five-Thirty a.m.! I swear if Riley was doing this on purpose I was going to slap her.

I got out of my bed and made my way downstairs. I was ready to give her a piece of my mind. I walked into the kitchen but stopped dead in my tracks. There was a person with blonde hair standing over the sink washing the dishes. Only, it wasn’t Riley.

“Niall?”
