Chapter 16

I sat there listening to the loud sobs that slipped out from under the door of Niall and Liam’s room. I looked over at Harry as he paced back and forth clearly worried about his best mate.

“Lou… what time is it?” I asked looking over at Louis who was lying down on the couch, hands folded on top of his stomach.

“It’s ten after eight love.” He sighed turning his gaze back up to the blank ceiling.

I have to go.

Now.

I waited too long; I should have been at the hospital an hour ago to see him. How could I let myself get too distracted! I quickly got up and walked into the bedroom running over to one of the dressers.

Wait, this isn’t my house I have no clothes. I sobbed and fell back onto the bed running my hands through my long brown hair. “Kayls you alright?” I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Zayn walking in. I sat up and sighed.

“Not really…”

“What’s wrong babe?” He questioned, concern laced in his voice as he stared at me intently.

“I… I’m supposed to be somewhere right now… but I have no way to get there and no clothes and…” I didn’t finish. I just simply fell back and closed my eyes. “I just really have to go.”

“Well… it’s down pouring right now… It’s a pretty bad storm. It’s supposed to be really bad… I mean they cancelled our concert tonight. Uh I think they called it hurricane Sandy on the news?”

I sat up quickly my mouth agape. “Are you kidding me?” I hopped off the bed and ran over to the window. It was raining hard and fast… I couldn’t even see five feet from the window. “No… no… not two days… not two days.” I mumbled to myself pacing as I pulled at the ends of my hair.

“Kayls what’s wrong? Why do you keep saying you have to go or not two days…? What do you mean?” I stopped to look over at Zayn his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

“I… I can’t tell you. I’m sorry Zayn.” I frowned sitting down on the nearby chair.

“Well… if you ever want to talk I’m here. People say I’m a good listener… and I keep a pretty good secret to.” He offered me a small smile and I smiled weakly at him.

“Thanks Zayn… I may have to take you up on that offer.” I giggled. “Do you know what’s wrong with Niall by any chance?”

“Uh… something with his parents. We’re not entirely sure… he can’t bring himself to say it. He gets so close and then he just breaks down and cries. Harry is on the phone with his brother Greg now trying to figure out what’s wrong… poor kid is destroyed.” Zayn looked down at his hands and twiddled his fingers.

These boys really do care for each other. You can see it. The way they talk, act, even look at each other is amazing. You’d think that they knew each other their entire lives!

“Uh Kayls your phone is buzzing.” Zayn told me throwing my cell phone over. I looked down at the caller ID and sighed.

“Hello Kaylee, are you alright?” I heard one of the nurses act.

“I’m fine… I… I don’t think I can make it again today…” My voice cracked at the end. I got all choked up just thinking about not being there to visit him for two days.

“It’s alright. I actually was calling to talk to you about that. It’s bad out there and I don’t want you getting hurt. He will be fine, I promise you. We have all the generators ready to go in case we lose power… you have nothing to worry about.” She reassured me.

“Thank you so much. Please call me if anything happens… let me know. Give him a hug for me and tell him Kaylee says Hi…”

“I will, have a nice day and stay safe please.”

“I will, and you too goodbye.” I hung up the phone and rubbed the bridge of my nose. “He’s going to be okay… he’s going to be okay…” I whispered over and over to myself.

“Kaylee…” I looked up and saw Zayn. I completely forgot he was even in here. “Who’s going to be okay?”

“I-I told you I can’t tell you…” I muttered biting at my already too short finger nails.

“Okay… okay…” He laughed standing up. “But remember… if you need me I’m here for you Kayls.” He smiled pointing at me.

“I know Zayn.” I giggled winking at him. “Hey I’m hungry.”

“Then let’s look for something to munch on, let’s go!” I hopped off the couch and rolled over the bed only to also roll off the bed. “What are we going to do with you Kaylee!” Zayn chuckled helping me up.

We walked into the living room and Harry was just about to hang up the phone. His eyes were brimmed red and his face flushed, didn’t look good at all.

“Alright… yeah… I’m real sorry Greg… hang in there mate… yeah… alright…. Bye.” Harry said into the phone before hanging up.

“So what’s wrong?” Louis asked eagerly sitting up.

“Niall’s… Niall’s dad and mum were on their way over here to surprise them. They were in the car and uh they go in an accident.  Bobby… he was uh killed on impact and his mum had a few injuries… she’s in the hospital now.” Harry sighed sitting down and placing his hands over his face.

“Wait Bobby… is his dad?” I asked not really sure. Harry nodded and proceeded to tell me that his parents were divorced but they were still coming over together to surprise him.

“Niall… I need to talk to him.” Zayn said breaking the silence. He walked over to the door and was about to knock on it when Liam  had opened it. I noticed Niall standing slightly behind him, his face was all red and his eyes were completely bloodshot, cheeks tear stained. His hair was all over the place and his chest was moving up and down fast as if he couldn’t seem to catch his breath.

“Niall… I’m so sorry man.” Zayn pulled Niall into a hug and there they stood wrapped tightly in a comforting hug.

That’s why Niall was so angry. It all makes sense why he would get so upset over a bag of crisps!

“Niall…” I said quietly and he looked up at me.

“Kaylee I’m so sorry for… for almost…”

“Niall shut up, it’s fine… I’m sorry for your loss.” I walked over to him and pulled him into a big bear hug letting his tears stain my shoulder. “It’s hard I know how you feel…”

“No you don’t Kaylee… no one does.” He said his voice rough.

“Niall yes I do… I know what it-“

“No you don’t!” He shouted making me jump back. “No one knows what it’s like to just have a parent ripped out of their lives like that!” He yelled louder. “That was my father and now he’s gone! I didn’t even get to say goodbye! Nothing!” He screamed tears falling freely from his eyes. “How would you feel if your father died!? You don’t know what I’m going through none of you do!” He screamed looking around the room. “You probably never will! So don’t tell me you know how I feel!” He shouted in my face.

“To bad I do you douchebag! How about asking before you assume! My dad died when I was five years old, FIVE NIALL. I was a little kid and I grew up without a dad! So next time think before you say something because that’s how you hurt people’s feelings! Asshole…” I cried and watched as his face fell.

“Oh my gosh Kaylee… I’m sor-“

“Save it.” I spat at him through gritted teeth. I turned on my heel and ran for my bedroom.

“Wait Kaylee!” I heard Niall yell. I stopped for a split second debating whether or not to talk to him… No Kaylee, remember what he did… what he said… remember,

You hated him.
