Niall looked up at his ceiling with a blank expression on his face. It's been a while since the boys had gone off to bed, But Niall just can't get to sleep. He's been lying there for an hour already just trying. He decided to go to one of the boy's rooms to sleep in. Maybe having a comfort from his members will help him fall asleep.
Niall tiptoes across the hall to Liam's room. For some reason, he felt the most comfortable with Liam. Maybe it was his fatherly figure he always showed while with the band, Niall isn't too sure. He opened the door and peaked in. Nothing. Apparently Liam wasn't inside.
Niall next went to Louis and Harry's room. He's sure they're in there, why wouldn't they be? He knocked on the door. Nothing. That's weird, he thought. He slowly opened the door and peaked in. No one was inside. How was this possible. He saw all of them go into their rooms. He even heard snoring from Louis and Harry's room! How could they all disappear like that? It's not like Liam, Louis, and Harry to just leave. Especially Liam.
Niall tiptoed to Zayn's room. Hoping he didn't disappear either like the rest of his band members. But considering the fact that everyone else was gone, it seemed quite likely. When he got to Zayn's door, he could hear muffled moaning coming from the other side. And there was a bunch of them. Not just Zayn. He put his ear closer, to listen to what they are saying.
"It's perfect here, all I'll ever need" Was that......Liam?
That was just one sentence Niall could make out. It seems like there was a bunch of phrases that were jumbled together, all coming from the four boys he knew: Liam, Louis, Zayn, and Harry.
Curious, Niall decided to peak in.
On Zayn's bed, was his 4 other members all jumbled together, and watching what seems like to be Finding Nemo. Niall smirked, leave it up to them to watch something as childish as Finding Nemo. It seems like they were deeply in into it too. He remebered again that he wasn't with them, and wave of hurt hit his body. They were only paying attention to each other so they didn't notice the hurt blond standing in the doorway, watching them.
Niall stepped out quickly, hurt by what he saw. His four best mates in there. Excluding him. He though back to the last few weeks, realizing lately he was always the extra. There was 5 in the band. Someone has to be the odd one out. Niall finds he's in that position only one too many times.
He walked back to his room. He went to his bed and lied down, on the verge on tears. So many things was going through his mind. Like why would they exclude him? Did he even mean anything to them? He thought about these questions over and over, still not able to find an answer. When he had too much, he felt the tears starting to fall. He cried the whole night, long after the boys finished what they were doing. Long after they went to bed. Long after they fell asleep. And even as they were doing that, they never seemed to notice their band mate weeping on his bed because of what he saw.
As the days went on, Niall seemed to notice how close the rest of the boys are. Like they snuggled up more. Spent more time together. Did everything close to each other. When they though Niall wasn't looking, they might have gave each other a peck on the lips. Niall finds himself more and more distant from them. He became more independent. He closed up a bit more. Instead of spending time with the lads, he stays in his room and just play songs on his guitar, like it would help him. And somehow it did.
They don't know that Niall is hurting though. They thought it was a bad day once. And all the other days...let's just say they didn't pay that much attention. They were too busy snuggling with each other, to notice anything. To notice that their best mate/ Band mate is just not himself. They never noticed how quiet he became when he's with them. How he shuts down more often. And how he looks at them, his eyes are filled with a mix of hurt and anger.
So now they are sitting in front of the couch, watching Toy Story (Liam's choice, of course) and all the 4 boys are sitting on the couch. Well not sitting exactly, more like cuddling, maybe Harry giving hidden love bites to Louis. And Liam and Zayn stealing occasional pecks on the lips. Niall was sitting on the floor, occasionally glancing up at the 4 boys on the couch. Frowning. Obviously he feels left out. But he tries not to show it. Only once, they caught Niall staring at them, looking upset.
"Hey Ni, you alright?" Liam asked, with concern in his voice.
"Huh, Oh yeah I'm fine." Niall lied.
"Are you sure?" Liam asked again, obviously not buying the lie.
"Yeah!" Niall practically shouted, getting stares from everyone.
"Well okay." Liam quickly said, trying not to make Niall get on his bad side.
They finished watching the movie, but the whole time, Niall can't seem to forget the little hurt that in deep in his chest. And the sight of the 4 boys cuddling in each other's arms, enjoying each other's comfort. They though of them always leaving Niall out of everything. So that's why, when Niall found out he was able to visit his family next week, he was excited than ever! It gave him a chance to just relax and forget about his problems. The problems consisting 4 other boys.
Little did he know that one small trip was about to change his life forever.
