"Does Niall ALWAYS eat this much?" I asked, after his 3rd bowl of chips.
"Usually more. I think he's being polite because you're here." Harry said.
"Oh my god. bạn guys are officially buying all the food." I said.
Suddenly, all the guys started singing.... And when they stopped to laugh at eachother I realized they were on te radio playing in Nando's.
"You guys are...? I mean...? What the....? Nevermind." I said.
"You have so much to learn." Eleanor said.
"How did I not know?" I asked as we walked out.
"Took bạn long enough." Louis đã đưa ý kiến patting my head.
"STOP MAKING FUN OF MY SHORTNESS LOUIS." I yelled.
Niall put his arm around me, "Get used to it. We are leperchauns to them. Are bạn Irish?"
"Yes." Louis said.
"Yup." I said.
"I'm tired." I said.
Louis bent over, I hopped on his back.
"Jealous?" I asked El. She laughed. "Don't be this is what we used to do in the halls until I hit my head on something."
"Oh Al! That time you-"
"Don't talk about it."
"Aw come on! We wanna know!" All the boys said.
"I fell off and hit a wall, and got a concussion, and threw up on some guy."
"It wasn't just any guy." Louis said.
"Louis...."
"It was that guy bạn like since bạn were like 12!"
"I don't like him anymore! I have a boyfriend Lou!"

Louis dropped me off his back into the car.
"I'm so tired." I đã đưa ý kiến and leaned against Liam's arm.
"Are bạn really that tall? I can't even lean against bạn shoulder?"
Liam smiled, "Apparentally not."
I leaned to the other side against Niall's shoulder.
"Leperchauns can be useful."
"Hey, you're one too." Niall replied.
"Thanks Niall. I appreciate it."
We got back to our apartment building and ran to the elevator. I pressed the button. Ha. We ran back to the flat and I went to sleep while the others did whatever they wanted.
The tiếp theo morning I was awoken bởi the wonderful sound of 5 boys trying to make breakfast. I put on some baggy sweats and a purple t-shirt and put my hair up in a messy bun.
"What is going on out here?"
"Vas Happenin'?" I hear Zayn say.
And then the counter was covered in smoothie.
"Oh god." I heard Louis say, holding the blender.
"Clean it up, and shut up." I đã đưa ý kiến and walked back to my room.

I heard a phone ring, but it wasnt any of us. I went over to the bàn and saw a bright purple blackberry. Must be Al's. Some guy named "Colin" was calling. I decided to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Um... Al?"
"No you're talking to Niall."
"Niall? Who are you? Why are bạn in my girlfriend's flat?"
"I live with her."
"Why?"
"Because me and-"
"Just forget it." he hung up.
I turned around, all the boys were staring at me.
"Niall... Who was that?" Liam asked and the rest of the bys went back to cleaning.
"Colin."
"Oh god." He ran over to the phone.
He looked at the contact name: Colin<3
"Niall!! That was her boyfriend, why would bạn even pick up???"
"I don't know... It was ringing...."

I walked out of my room, they had all cleaned up and were eating breakfast at the table.
"Hey." I đã đưa ý kiến and they all greeted me.
"Have bạn guys seen my phone?" I asked.
"Yeah it's over there." Harry pointed.
I picked up my phone.
I had 5 new messages from Colin. I layed on the couch.

TO: AL
FROM: COLIN<3

Who's Niall?

TO: AL
FROM: COLIN<3

I can't believe you'd cheat on me.

TO: AL
FROM: COLIN<3

Are bạn really serious with him? Why'd he di chuyển in with you?

TO: AL
FROM: COLIN<3

I loved you.

TO: AL
FROM: COLIN<3

bạn didn't even realize did you?

I stood up.
"Niall."
He looked up at me nervous.
"Did bạn talk to Colin this morning?"
"Um... I just- Your phone, it was ringing and-"
"Whatever." I said, struggling to hold back the tears, desperatley trying to stream down my face. I ran to my room and locked the door. I called Colin.
"What do bạn want, Al? I know bạn cheated on me."
"I didn't cheat on you! I left my phone on the bàn and he picked it up."
"Why is he living with you?
"Because there was no other căn hộ available and me and him and his 4 Những người bạn got booked with my flat somehow."
"Don't lie."
"Colin! I'm not lying, please."
"You are! It's obvious. How could that happen to anyone?"
"I don't know but it happened to me."
"How can I trust you?"
"I tình yêu you."
"And I used to." and then he hung up.
I layed in my giường crying all day. Around noon I heard a đàn ghi ta, guitar just strumming, I guess the rest of the guys went somewhere.
Then I heard him sing. I hadn't heard the song before, I'm guessing they wrote it. I just listened. I think it was called "More Than This. Once he started playing it, I think El played it for me once. I sighed. He has such a pretty voice. Then my phone buzzed. I read the message.
TO: AL
FROM: NIALLER

If he doesn't believe that bạn didn't cheat on him, he's stupid. I can tình yêu bạn thêm than this.

I walked out of my room.
"Hi" I said, my voice shaky from crying a lot.
"Are bạn okay?" he asks, in a worried tone.
"I'm fine." I said.
"Come sit with me." He says.
I walked over and sat tiếp theo to him, curling up near him, his arm wrapped around me.
"I thought he was cheating on me."
"What?"
"One day, I was walking trang chủ and I looked in a cafe and he was there with someone else, he told me it was his cousin, so I trusted him. I had no reason not to. And then I saw all these texts from the girl. And I only saw one of the texts. And it đã đưa ý kiến I tình yêu you. And he just begged me to forgive him and promised he'd break up with her, so I did. And then, now even when I wasn't actually cheating on him, he doesn't believe me."
"That's horrible." he hugs me, but doesnt let go. Just holds me and comforts me. We just sat there. Until this moment, when we looked eachother in the eyes, and he just kissed me. Colin is just a memory of the past. Because Niall lights up my world like nobody else.
