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

(A/N) So instead of finding a song that goes along with each chapter, I'm just gonna add whatever song I was listening to when posting it :)

Riley turned and looked at the Irish boy. He made his way over to her slowly, as if he were scared of what she might do. Once he reached her, they stood and looked at each other. It seemed like forever before he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. She was surprised at first, but after a moment or two, she broke down crying and hugged him back.

Louis instantly walked over and joined the hug, followed by Liam and Zayn. Then there was Harry, who just sat and watched. I didn’t want to join cause this was their bonding moment I guess. I had already had mine. But what was Harry’s problem? He seemed to be acting like he didn’t know who Riley was.

I looked at the group. Each one of them had tears in their eyes and I couldn’t help but start to cry myself. “I should go. Jason will be wondering where I am.” Riley mumbled. The boys let go of her and stepped back. “Who’s Jason?” Zayn asked me once Riley walked out the front door. “Probably her boyfriend.” Niall said, wiggling his eyebrows. I laughed quietly and shook my head. “No, he’s her best friend. Besides me of course.” I replied.

“What!?” Louis screamed in my ear. I flinched and covered my ears. “What’s the matter boo bear?” Harry asked. God, they were such homos sometimes. “My little sweet cheeks has replaced me…” Louis said, just above a whisper. What did he expect? She wasn’t going to sit around and wait for him. Riley was the type of girl who needed to have a guy best friend.

“Well did you expect her to wait for you or something? We pretty much forgot them.” Liam confessed. He always knew what to say. “Well, I feel like a shitty best friend.” Niall said. Harry glared at him. We all knew he didn’t like swearing, so we tried not to when he was around. But Niall was so care free, he could care less.

I still couldn’t believe that the five of them were sitting in my living room. It felt like a dream to me. I had missed them like crazy and had wished they would come back. And here they were. I just hoped that they were here to stay and wouldn’t forget us again.

“Paul just texted me, he said that the hotel’s booked and he can’t get us in.” Liam said. “Great. I need my sleep.” Zayn mumbled. I had the perfect idea for us to catch up. “I have an extra room, we could double up.” I suggested. Suddenly, the boys started yelling.

“I’ll room with Pay!” Niall screamed.

“I’ll take the couch.” Liam said.

“Liam! Share with me!” Zayn whined.

“What about me?” Harry asked. “I want to room with Louis!”

“But I want to be with Riley!” Louis pouted.

“Liam, you can’t sleep on the couch.” Niall said.

“Boys!” I yelled, getting their attention. “You don’t have to room with the same people every night.” I looked at each one of them and saw Liam shaking his head. “Yes we do!” He said. “Okay then, Niall can sleep in my room with me, Zayn and Liam can share the guest room, and Riley’s room is big enough for her, Louis and Harry.” I explained.

“Everybody wins!” Louis grinned. We all agreed on where everybody would sleep and the boys were going to go and grab their things from God knows where. “Here’s an extra key.” I said, handing it to Liam. “I’m just going to go out and grab a few groceries.” I slipped on my TOMS, jacket, and grabbed my purse.

I followed them out of my apartment and down the front steps. Riley had just pulled into the driveway and was getting out of her car. “Well that was quick.” I said to her. She shrugged and leaned against her car. “Jason had to get to the hospital. Something happened to Jessica.” She replied.

Jessica was Jason’s girlfriend. They were really cute but she was always really jealous. She would do what ever it took to keep Jason away from Riley. I rolled my eyes and walked over to my car. “I’m just going to get some groceries.” I called over my shoulder. “Don’t forget my cereal!”

Of course.

 Now that the boys were staying with us, I had to buy a lot more food. Especially with Niall. I grabbed everything I needed and grabbed Riley’s Special K. She was always eating this stuff and I wasn’t sure why. “Maybe I should grab another box.” I said, placing them in my cart.

Once I as finished, the bill was about two hundred and fifty dollars. I have never spent that much on groceries in my life! I guess Riley was paying rent this month. I got home and started grabbing the grocery bags from the car and putting them inside. I was out grabbing the last three bags when a van pulled up and the boys piled out with their suitcases behind them.

“Thanks again for letting us stay here.” Liam said while grabbing the groceries from my hand. I tried to protest and take them back, but he was already walking away. That boy is way to sweet sometimes, who ever ends up with him will be one lucky girl.

I walked in the door just in time to see Louis running up the stairs screaming, “I’m coming roomy!” I rolled my eyes but laughed at him. He was special. It wasn’t long before Riley came downstairs with Louis clinging onto her. When the doorbell rang, Louis finally let go of her. “I’ll get it!” he sang.

I watched him skip to the door with a big grin on his face. “Lou-bear, don’t be so silly!” Riley laughed. I think it was the first time I had heard her laugh since we saw Niall in our kitchen this morning. Louis grinned at her before opening the door. “Who are you?” A voice said. “I’m superman. Who are you?”

Jesus Louis…

“Jason?” Riley was now beside Louis at the door. Jason scratched the back of his head and looked at the ground. “What are you doing here?”

“She lied. Again.” Jason said. It looked like he was about to cry so Riley pulled him in for a hug. After the two had their moment, Riley and Jason walked into the living room where all the boys were. The two started talking about what happened, not caring we were all there. I stood in the doorway and watched them.

“She wasn’t even at the hospital. She was at home. I stopped by to grab some things for her and she answered the door. She said she didn’t want me handing around you anymore. So I realized something and broke up with her.” Jason explained.

“What did you realize?”

(A/N) maybe I'll post another chapter tonight :)
