Chapter 28

This is a pretty long update i think! I don't really know what to classify this as... it's not sad but i don't know if it's happy. I don't know! Hope you enjoy it!

I stood there for a few minutes trying to collect myself. I needed to be strong for Niall, we don’t need to people who are all emotional.

“Kayls are you alright?” I heard someone ask and turned around to see Niall’s sad eyes staring back at me.

“Yeah I’m fine.” I said quickly wiping any other tears from my cheeks.

“You sure? You don’t look fine…” He persisted eyeing me.

“Niall I’m fine. Just some reoccurring memories, I don’t want to talk about it though.” I sighed leaning back against the car.

“Alright that’s fine… uh we’re going to head back to the house so everyone can say goodbye and what not and then we can go out tonight if you want too.” He said to me as we got into the car.

“No Niall, it’s fine. I’m sure you want to be home with your family tonight.” I smiled sympathetically at him as I started the car.

“Actually my mom is going to stay at my dad’s sisters for a few nights and my brother is going back to his house so it’s just me and you.” He smiled as he leaned back in his seat. I nodded and pulled out of the parking spot, just  me and him.

“We can go to the movies, or the pub, maybe down to the square, what do you think?” Niall shouted from the kitchen as I was sprawled out over the sofa.

“Uh doesn’t matter, wherever.” I called back laying my eyes on the tv screen. It was one of the boys old interviews when they were back here. I’ve seen it a good 10 times but it never gets old.

“Let’s go down to the pub, a few of my buddies will be there, want you to meet them!” I sat up and huffed, I hated meeting new people.

“How many of them…?” I asked quietly as I walked into the kitchen.

“About 3 or 4 don’t worry. It’ll be fine, they’re nice guys.” He chuckled sensing m nervousness. “Want something?”

“Uh no, I’m not hungry but thanks.” I smiled sitting down at the table across from him.

“We’ll leave after I’m done eating so if you want to go change you can.” He mumbled with a mouthful of food.

“Are you telling me this isn’t good enough?!” I said dramatically standing up and gesturing to my sweatpants and t-shirt.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” He winked and I just rolled my eyes as I little giggle bubbled over my lips. I skipped out of the kitchen and up to Niall’s room where my suitcase was wide open and my clothes were everything, I was a little messy.

I picked up a pair of dark blue jeans and a crème jumper and through them on before adding my light blue beanie and the same color scarf.

I found my converse and slipped them on before jogging back downstairs to see Niall just finishing up. “Ready?” I smiled and he nodded getting up and throwing away his dish.

“We’ll take my car, let me just grab my keys.” I followed after him as he took his keys off the hook and slipped on his coat. “It’s about 15 minutes away, not too long.” He shrugged as we walked down the path to his car.

I hopped in the passenger seat as he did the same with the drivers seat. As he started up the car the radio turned on and Ed Sheerans Lego House filled the car.

“I love this song!” I smiled beginning to sing along. Niall chuckled as he pulled out of the driveway.

“You really like him yeah?” Niall questioned after the song had finished.

“More like love him.” I laughed looking over at Niall. His lips held a playful smirk.

“I can take you to meet him one day.” He said quietly flickering his eyes over to meet him.

“Shut up!” I gasped hitting his arm playfully.

“Hey! Hey! Driving here!” He laughed as I rolled my eyes.

“That would be awesome, oh my gosh!” I squealed excitedly.

“Consider it done babe.” He winked and m stomach twisted, babe.

He called me babe. Why does that simple word make me feel so funny?

I don’t like him…

But I don’t hate him either…

Yes I do!

No I don’t.

Ye-

“Kaylee we’re here.” Niall laughed and I snapped out of my little inner mind argument. I nodded and hopped out of the car following close behind Niall.

Now by pub I thought he meant like a type of restaurant or something, no. This was a full out bar, guys everywhere already piss drunk. This is not like the pub I went to a few years ago.

As we walked in the smell of smoke was evident along the alcohol. It was nasty.

There was men playing pool and drinking at the bar. Niall walked me through to the back where it was a little quieter. There was a table and there was about 4 guys there. They all got up and greeted Niall with a huge bear hug.

“Nialler man we missed you!” One of the boys shouted ruffling Niall’s hair. They all looked a little tipsy if I say so myself.

“And who’s this cutie?” One of the other ones smirked at me making me feel a bit uncomfortable.

“This is Kaylee, a friend from America.” Niall grinned.

“Nice to meet you Kaylee.” They smiled at me and I smiled back slightly. “Have a seat love.”

Niall slid into the booth and I sat down next to him. “Want a drink Niall or Kaylee?” Leo, Niall had introduced them all, asked us.

“Yeah I’ll take a pint!” Niall answered.

“Uh no thank you, I don’t drink. I’m only 17 anyway.” I answered politely.

“Oh c’mon they don’t care here! We’ve been comin’ since we were 15.” Patrick laughed.

“I said I didn’t drink.” I replied trying to keep my cool.

“Aw come on! Have a little fun babe! It doesn’t matter how old you are, they don’t care!” Leo chuckled.

“I said I don’t drink and I’m not going to say it again.” I spat at him and he put his hands up and walked away.

“It’s alright Kayls, don’t mind them.” Niall whispered to me rubbing my back as I shoved my face into my hands.

“So Niall, Kaylee, how long have you been dating?” Sean asked us and my head shot up, my eyes wide.

“Uh n-no we’re just friends!” I laughed nervously. I looked over at Niall as he held the same expression as me.

“Oh… I see.” Sean chuckled winking at Niall whose face flushed red. “No worries.” 

Leo had returned minutes later with all the drinks and handed them out to us. “I got you a water, sorry about the whole thing before.” He said quietly to me as he set the drink in front of my place.

“It’s alright Leo.” I smiled sweetly holding the glass to my lips.

“Kaylee, I have to run home really quickly. My mum needs me to do something, are you okay staying here? I’ll be back in like a half hour.” Niall said to me.

“Uh yeah, go ahead!” I smiled getting out of the booth to let him out. I had gotten to know the guys a lot more and they were hilarious, I haven’t laughed this much in years.

“I’ll be back lads!” Niall called as he jogged out of the pub.

“Aye free shots!” A heavy set man shouted coming over to our table with a tray of shots. “One for each of ya! Go on!” All the guys took one but I just sat there with my hands folded.

“C’mon lil lady! Just one for good luck!” The man grinned and I looked around the table at everyone. I caught Leo’s eye and he just shrugged. It’s just a shot… a little tiny shot… one won’t hurt right?

I took it and the man counted down from three. I took it down, the alcohol burning my throat, but in a good way, a really good way. It was so good, my taste buds ached for another.

Niall’s P.O.V.

I parked back outside the pub a bit later and walked inside, the bar was buzzin with people. I walked back to the table and saw that no one was there. I sighed and looked around to see where they had gone.

I decided to check over by the bar considering there was much shouting and cheering going on. I pushed my way through and noticed the back of Kaylee’s head as it tilted back downing a shot. There was a few men sitting next to her as they had each about 10 or so small glasses in front of them.

All of Kaylee’s were nearly empty as she continued to drink and drink. What the hell happened after I left?

“Winner of round 6! Who’s up against her next?” The bartender shouted as he held a proud grin on his face.

I saw Sean standing off to the side and walked over to him. “What the hell happened?”

“Uh well Kaylee took one shot a bit after you left cause we were offered free shots. And she said she wanted another so we went to the bar and it resulted into her doing shot offs with other people… she’s had about a total of 60… she’s piss drunk mate.” Sean told me and I gritted m teeth.

“Why didn’t you stop her!?” I sneered at him.

“I tried to but she insisted that she was fine and wanted to keep going!” He hissed at me and I rolled my eyes. I ran over to Kaylee grabbing her wrist before she could take the shot.

“That’s enough Kaylee, we’re going home.” I told her and she pulled away from me.

“No! One more!” She slurred reaching for it.

“No, No more!” I shouted and pulled her off the stool. “Move.” I told then men crowded around. I started walking forward and looked back to see Kaylee  stumbling behind, she was smashed. “Let’s go.” I huffed throwing my arm around her shoulder as she leaned into me.

“Niall… you smell reeeaaallllyyyy nice.” She giggled burying her face into my side as we walked over to the car. I rolled my eyes and opened the passenger door. I literally had to lift her up like a small child and buckle her in, this was ridiculous.

On the way home the only thing she did was talk. Half the time I didn’t even know what the hell she was saying. “Niall let’s go home.” She whined leaning over so her face was almost in front of mine.

“We are going home, sit down in your seat, we’re practically here.” I told her and she sat back as I pulled into the driveway. She undid her buckle as did I. “Don’t move… just sit.”

I hopped out and jogged over to the other side opening the door. “C’mon love.” I reached my hand out and she took it hopping down with the help of me.

“I just really want a pizza, like I really want a pizza, like I really really really want a pizza.” She whispered as we walked inside.

“I think it’s time for bed Kayls.” I laughed as I carried her up the stairs.

“You’re going to go to bed too Niall?” She questioned scrunching up her nose.

“Yes Kaylee, you can stay in my room and I’ll sleep in gregs room.” I told her as I walked into my room. I set her down on my bed and she looked up at me for a second, her eyes blood shot and droopy.

“You sleep with me though.” She pouted hitting the spot beside her. “Yes?”

“Fine.” I sighed knowing I was never going to win an argument with a drunk person. I walked over to m dresser and pulled out a pair of sweats. I peeled of my shirt and quickly changed into m sweats. “Kaylee do you need to get changed?” I asked her and she nodded. “Well… you should probably do that…”

“ I don’t want to. You do it.” She giggled. “Change me!” She squealed and I gave her a weird look. “Get the blue pajama bottoms and m grey t-shirt!”

I did as told and recovered both of the items from her bag.

*

20 minutes later and Kaylee was completely dressed, I felt like a babysitter. It was ridiculous.

“Niall I want one more beer!” She whined as I slipped under the covers next to her.

“No Kaylee! Just shut up and got to bed!” I groaned frustrated with her childish behavior.

“D-Did you just tell me to s-shut up?” She whispered and I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath.

“I’m sorry, don’t get upset it’s just I’m very tired and well you’ve put me through hell and back with your drunkenness, just go to sleep love.” I told her sweetly and she squeezed her eyes shut.

“Sorry Ni… night.”

“Goodnight Kaylee.”

“Wait Niall… one more thing.” She mumbled and I turned back around to face her.

Before I had time to process what was going on her, lips were on mine and her hands were supping my cheeks. “I’m sorry….” She whispered pulling away. “Ever since that kiss… a few days ago I was kind of missing your lips and I don’t know…”

“It’s okay…” I trailed off staring at her lips again. I knew the feeling she was talking about. The feeling of longing to feel the lips that sent sparks through my body. I licked my lips and moved forward again connecting her lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her in closer to me.

She ran her tongue along my bottom lip and I parted mine letting her alcohol coated tongue slide into my mouth.

She flipped over so she was straddling me, our lips still firmly placed onto each other’s. She moved her hands down my bare chest as I placed mine on her hips.

I realized what was going on and pulled away. She was drunk, she didn’t want to do this, she didn’t know what she was doing. She wasn’t going to remember any of this tomorrow.

“Goodnight Kaylee.” I sighed rolling her off me and turning my back to her.

“Bu- Night Niall.” She replied softly.

What is going on.
