Chapter 28

                                    

                                          
"Foods here," Louis stuck his head into Niall's room.
                          
"Be down in a sec," I answered . He nodded and left. I stood up and extended my arm for Niall to grab. I easily pulled him up and steadied him from swaying. 
                          
"Good?" I asked.
                          
"Yup," he nodded. It's been a few days since the whole accident and luckily, he was getting better. 
                          
"I can walk, babe. Just trust me," he smiled and reached over to kiss my cheek. 
                          
"Okay," I said, still unsure but let him try anyway. What he didn't know, was that Harry came back yesterday and since Niall stayed in bed all day yesterday, he didn't know that. We slowly made our way downstairs and once we got there he looked at me as if to say 'told you so'. I smirked at him and kissed his forehead. He smiled widely at me and turned his head and glanced at our couch, where Harry was sitting nonchalantly. Niall let go of my hand and walked over to Harry and sat down in his lap. I sighed and walked into the kitchen where Louis and Zayn were standing around, eating our food. I rolled my eyes at them and leaned against the counter. 
                          
"Hows he doing?" Zayn asked. 
                          
"Better than before," I answered. 
                          
"We're not going to be touring for another month until he heals a bit more," Louis informed me. I nodded and turned around to look at Harry and Niall. They were laughing about something while Niall was still in his lap and Harry was holding him a little too close. Okay, maybe I'm a little jealous. That was a lie, I'm more than a little jealous. I sighed and turned back around. 
                          
"Can we eat now?" Zayn asked, looking hungrier by the second. 
                          
"Yeah, let's go over there and eat," Louis nodded and took the pizzas to the living room while Zayn took drinks. I slowly made my way to our living room and sat down across from Niall silently. Everyone was talking about random stuff that didn't interest me. I eyed Harry and Niall discreetly, and sipped my drink. I haven't been getting much sleep lately either. Niall's nightmares usually wake me up then keep me up. He never even tells me what they're about, which frustrates me.
                          
"Liam, you haven't even touched your food. Are you alright?" Zayn asked, shaking me a bit. Everyones attention turned on me and I shook my head. 
                          
"Just not hungry," I mumbled and stood up. I walked towards the stairs and made my way up them. Getting into my room, I shut my door and got into my bed. I let out a sigh of frustration and stared at the ceiling. It was just too much pressure for me; all the guys expect way too much out of me, which is extremely stressful. Then I got the whole fake dating Sophia mess going on. Everything just piles up and gets me in such bad moods. I just need time to myself, which I rarely get anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love being there for Niall but with everything combined, its so stressful. Deciding on getting fresh air, I grabbed a sweatshirt and threw it on. I slipped in some shoes and put my wallet and phone in my pocket. I put on a hat and got my keys. Taking a deep breath, a walked out of my room and downstairs, silently. I kept my eyes trained on the ground and ignored their looks. 
                          
"Liam?" Harry spoke up.
                          
"Yeah?" I asked, glancing at him nonchalantly. 
                          
"Where are you going?" He asked, eyeing me carefully. 
                          
"Out," I shrugged and walked out of the flat. Getting into my car, I took off. I still had no idea where I was planning to go but I just kept driving. I ended up on this deserted road, with woods all around me. There was no one around and it was absolutely perfect. I kept driving for hours until I came across an empty parking lot and pulled into it. Stopping my car, I sat back and took a deep breath. It was relaxing to sit in silence without getting bothered for once. Except for my phone constantly buzzing and ringing. I ignored it seeing it was they guys calling and knowing they'd either yell at me or ask where I was constantly. I also knew it would be hell when I came back. It made me feel guilty, because Niall's probably thinking he did something.
