I'm not really sure who asked him, it probably was Liam or maybe it was Harry I don't really know. All I know is it made Niall mad really mad. He started screaming words but we couldn't understand them, all three of the lads rushing forward to him but I stayed back starring wide eyed; to scared to move. Never have I ever seen him so upset about being asked why he drinks so much. Why, why, why. He started crying chocked up sobs while saying "It's happiness straight from the bottle, when real life's to hard to swallow." And he just kept saying that over and over again saying when no one is listing he goes and drinks and swallows all his fears with cold liquir and beer till he can see straight.

Before I realized it I was crouched down in front of him cupping his face saying its okay, I listen, that I'm there for him. He only shakes his head and brings his arms around me so I'm flushed up against him, his head in my neck my body in his lap, limbs tightly wrapped around one another.

"I think you guys should leave us alone for a bit" I whispered Harry nodded patting Niall's back lightly before dragging Louis and Liam with him all of them giving nervous glances back to my bruised face like they had an idea of how I get them, where they come from.

I can feel my neck getting wet with sticky tears that spill out of Niall's eyes. "Ni, can you please stop crying, I promise you that you're not alone and you don't need to drink to get away from your problems"

Niall shook his head shoving me. "You don't fucking know what it's like to be me, so shut the hell up!"

I flinched slightly. "No I don't but I'm in the same boat as you and I don't drink all the live long day-" I paused for a second before continuing "I don't hurt the one I love"

Then Niall was looking at me with this look I haven't really seen that often.

Regret.

Then he walked away went straight up to the refrigerator and took out two beers one for each hand. He came back bent down to whisper in my ear "I love you" before spinning on his heals and going out the front door, vanishing like a ghost. Before I even got the chance to say I love you back, I love you so much that it hurts.

That was the first time in months he's said three little words that I say to him all the time and I don't really know why I started crying or when Harry shuffled back into the room scooping me up telling me it's okay Niall will be fine, that I'll be fine, but I still didn't believe him.
