"Hello?" I pick up my phone confused by the no caller ID. It's probably just someone from Modest! though
"Liam?" A distressed voice comes on the phone
"Who is this?" I pull my eyebrows together. Harry and Louis look up from they're breakfast at me in confusion too
"It's Annie-"
"Annie?" This gets a lifeless Nialls attention. He lifts his head slowly as if it's painful to do, but is now looking up at me also "why are you calling me? Are you okay? Is everything alright?"
"I don't know! I've been calling Niall for the past three days straight and he hasn't answered! What's going on? I'm so scared Liam. Is he okay? He alwa-ys answers my calls..." Her voice cracks and my heart sinks. She sounds so hurt. I wish I could just tell her! She loves him so much I don't know why Niall won't just tell her
"He's okay, I promise, just hold on." I put my hand over the speaker
"Niall," I sigh "Annie Said she's been calling you for the past three days and you haven't answered. She's so worried about you, mate. Can't you just tell her what's going on?" I beg him
He closes his eyes a look of pain flashes a tossed his face. "No" he whispers
"Why not?" Louis asks him
He just shakes his head looking down at his untouched breakfast.
"Why can't you tell her? She deserves to know." Harry adds
"BECAUSE I LOVE HER!" He suddenly shouts shocking us all. "I LOVE HER SO FUCKING MUCH IT HURTS! BUT WHATS IT MATTER!? BECAUSE ONCE SHE FI-NDS O-OUT IM dyi-ng it w-on't ma-tter...ca-use she-e'll leav-e me" he gets up limping up the stairs
We all sit there in shock for a moment. This is the same guy I had to bathe yesterday because he couldn't do it himself?
"Um sorry." I pick the phone back up "yeah like I said he's alright. We've just been really busy lately. I'm sure he'll call you back soon."
I hear her sigh "oh okay. Could you just tell him to at least text me next time you see him?"
"Of course" I assure her "oh by the way how'd you get my number?" I ask her
"Oh Niall gave it to me, said it was just incase of an emergency. I don't know, I told him I'm sure nothing would ever happen but he just said 'you never know'"
"Oh alright..." I say awkwardly knowing exactly why he did that
"Well thanks Liam sorry to bother."
"No it's alright call whenever" I tell her
"Okay thanks, bye"
"Bye" I hang up looking across the table at Harry and Louis sighing
"I hate this" I shake my head "I hate lying to her and I hate seeing Niall like this" I choke on held back tears
