A Happily Never After (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

That Was Easy

I lifted myself up and looked around, I was laying on the boys' long couch. It was awfully dark, but after my eyes adjusted, I could make out what looked to be Harry sleeping on the other side. I started to lay myself back down when I heard quiet voices, the voices of Liam and Niall.

I quietly leaned on the back of the couch and listened intently.

"But how are you going to know if she likes you?" Liam asked, quietly.

Were they talking about me?

"I don't know," Niall whispered, quite sadly.

"Is there any way that you can absolutely be positive she likes you? Anything you can remember from a few years ago?"

"Well, there is something," Niall said after a long pause.

My ears perked up a bit. What was he going to say?

All of the sudden, Harry coughed loudly, causing me to jump. Liam's eyes darted towards me. I tried to play it like Harry had woken me up but I don't think that Liam was falling for it. Niall followed Liam's gaze and looked straight at me. Even in the dark, I could tell that he was blushing as he scratched the top of his head awkwardly.

I quickly fake-yawned and put my head on my pillow, closing my eyes. What was Niall about to say? Did he know how I felt about him? Stupid Harry.

----------

I woke up to the smell of bacon, the best smell in the world. A smile made its way onto my face as I slowly got up. Did I just spend the night again? Nice. I looked down at my familiar red tee and leggings, lovely. I trudged into the kitchen and sat down at the table, across from Zayn.

"Hey Zayn."

"Hey Lennon, how are you?"

"Quite alright, and you?"

"I'm fine other than the fact that I am extremely hungry," Zayn said, eyeing up the frying pan full of bacon that Harry was standing next to.

I heard footsteps entering the kitchen as I swung my head around.

"Morning Niall."

"Lennon, Zayn," he said looking at us, then walking straight for the pantry.

"Any plans for today, lads?" Harry said as he put the last piece of bacon on a plate.

"Let's go to play laser tag," Louis yelled, appearing out of the hallway from what appeared to be where the bedrooms were.

Harry placed the plate of bacon on the table and Zayn and I dove for it. By the time Niall was done pouring his cereal, there was only one piece left for him.

"That sounds fun!" I exclaimed. "I don't believe I have any plans for today," I said, thinking over my schedule.

"Lasertag it is," Zayn yelled, shoving his last piece of bacon into his mouth.

------------

I sat in the back of Zayn's car next to Louis and Liam. Niall was in the front seat and Harry decided to drive himself, no one wanting to be in his car because of his awful driving skills.

I glanced down at my outfit, I felt so messy. I was wearing the same leggings from yesterday and one of Liam's sweatshirts. He kindly offered even though I was hoping that Niall would.

Besides the hi this morning, Niall had been completely avoiding me. It really hurt my feelings and I wanted to just talk to him. Was this all because of me overhearing their conversation last night? I just wanted to hug him again. Wow, do you hear yourself, Lennon?
