Chapter 1
*1 Week Later from prologue*
Niall's P.O.V.
Liam, Zayn, and I were all in the living room watching T.V. with little interest to the overused infomercials they play at 12am.
"Hey lads, where's Larry?" I asked
"I don't know. Maybe you should call them." Zayn said with a bored expression still watching the screen in front of him, not moving an inch from his position on the red couch.
"Oh Zayn you care so much for them!" Liam said noticing his motionless action. I smiled to myself when Liam defended me.
Stop it Niall. You shouldn't feel this way, not again!
But what if...
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard my name. "Niall, you alright mate?" Zayn asked.
"Huh? Uh yea lads...., just peachy." I replied, rubbing my hands over my face.
"Well I think Louis and Harry are fine. Besides its pretty late, they off to be in bed now. And we should too; I do believe we have a recording session tomorrow afternoon." Liam said checking his watch on his left arm. Slowly, I stood from the couch stretching. I thought I saw Liam's eyes on me when my shirt lifted slightly.
'No Niall stop it.'
I shook my head and walked in the direction to the bathroom.
As I left I heard hushed voices in the living room. I wonder......
Why am I suddenly feeling weird towards Liam? My best mate. This is not good. What would the fans think? What would the lads think? What am I talking about?! Liam doesn't like me that way. And I don't like him that way.
Walking to my room at the end of the dim hallway, I was pinned on my bedroom door. I shut my eyes, and shivered when I felt breathing on my neck.
"Hey Niall." I realized that it was Liam pinning me to my door. I slowly opened my eyes to see Liam very very close to my face.
"Hi Liam. I thought you would be in bed by now...." My voice trailed off. I stood there, back pressed against the wooden door behind us, looking into his brown eyes. I knew I should have told him to get off but I couldn't. His voice snapped me back into reality.
"I thought I would just you know check on you." He said lips brushing my ear.
"I'm fine, you know getting to bed. Which is inside my room, and I can't, because I'm pinned on it...." I trailed off again.
"Well then my little leprechaun, good night." He said kissing my nose and walked off the opposite direction. I just stood there, not sure if that just happened or not. He was so close to me that I bet he could hear my increasing heartbeat. I turned around and walked in my room still a little confused. Looking towards the clock I saw it was almost midnight, meaning that I won't get much sleep tonight.
Ehh whatever.
After checking Zayn's occupied bed, I climbed into my bed and closed my eyes.
Liam's POV
'I don't know where that came from. It was wrong, very wrong, but it felt right. I mean, if I ever did that with someone else, it would just seem horribly wrong. But with Niall, it seemed natural. This is getting sappy. I sound like a girl.' I shook the thoughts out and got to sleep.
Niall still hasn't figured it out even though I have sent him many hints.
This isn't right....
I know, but I have plan on how I'm going to tell him.
Crappy mind, disturbing me from a dreamful sleep.

Harry's POV
I tried to move in the middle of the night, but I couldn't because I felt two arms around me. I opened my eyes to see a beautiful face sleeping in front of me. 'Yes, I am very aware of how I said my best mate's face is beautiful.'
Don't judge me...
The moonlight highlighted the features I've noticed but haven't yet closely looked at.
He looked feminine, but in a Louis Tomlinson way. His light-brown feathery hair was a mess, but its something that only he could wear. His lips were slightly parted when he breathed. Moving upwards I looked at his shut eyes and saw how they slightly flickered when he slept.
You shouldn't be watching your band mate while he sleeps.
Said the little voice in my head. That voice is getting very annoying, telling me what to do, or not to. I just couldn't help but stare at his peaceful face while he slept.
"Haz, stop staring at me." I was ripped from my argument with myself by a sleepy voice. "Uh I ...Um wasn't..." I was lost for words. He caught me staring at him. Inside I was panicking, yet I somehow to make a very cheeky comment.
"I can't help but stare at beautiful people. I just couldn't resist." I said with confidence. I don't know where that came from. I saw a light color of pink on Louis face.
"Well then, the only beautiful person I see is in front of me." He playfully retorted. It was my turn to blush when he hinted that I was beautiful.
"I'm not beautiful." I said with a small frown. I felt two fingers under my chin making me in eye level with him.
"Now Haz, listen to me. You are one of the most beautiful people I know. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Okay?" Louis said with a serious tone.
"Okay." I said but I kept my eyes away from his skies of blue.
"Haz, I love you and you're my best mate forever, right?" he asked.
"Yea, best mates forever." I said finally looking at his eyes. I could drown in them.
I still feel sick, but Louis always made me better by sleeping and cuddling with me every night. I feel bad that he has to wait on me though. He should be having fun at a party or something. Instead he has been declining and canceling plans for me.
'At least he is with you and not with anybody else'
. There's that annoying voice again.
"Loueh!!! Why don't you go out tonight with Eleanor or Stan? I bet they miss you." I whined.
"No Harry, I told you I'm fine and that I'll see them soon anyways. Besides who would take care of you when I'm gone?" He questioned me.
"The lads could! You could just go tonight! Please for me?" I plead.
"I don't know.... I don't mind taking care of you. I just... I don't want anything to happen to you while I'm not with you." Louis said with worry clouding his blue eyes which I avoided.
"No Lou, you are going to leave this house and have a good time tonight, you hear me? I don't want you to be trapped here with me instead of having fun and being happy." I was starting to get frustrated.
Louis POV
I really didn't want to leave Harry's side but it looks like he is making me leave him. Apparently he doesn't want me to help him.
I decided to go and get my mind off him for a while. If he is trying to get rid of me, I will try to forget him, but just for a while. I told Harry to call Liam to come over. I made plans with Eleanor to meet at the park for a chat. I haven't really spent time with her. After Management forced her into "dating" me 3 weeks ago. We have been great friends trying to "keep up the act". I don't like her like that though. She is like my sister. We were friends before she was in this mess.
No don't think about that right now. Enjoy your day out.
I headed to the usual bench El and I sat when we go here. "Hey El, nice to see you. Been awhile huh?" I said to her as I sat down.
"It has. How you've been Lou? And how's Harry?" she asked with a big warm smile. "I've been good. Taking care of Harry. He's a bit sick." I replied.
"Oh no. Hope he gets better. If he's sick and you were taking care of him, who is taking care of him right now and why aren't you?" She asked with worry. She was a great girl; I just can't see her as my type.
"The lads should be coming over to our flat and taking care of him while I'm gone. I'm here because he made me get out of the house for a few hours since I haven't left his side since last week. I just worry about him you know." I said. She gave me a knowing smile. I told her about my special feelings of the younger boy.
"Yea, I do know. It's good to go out too, though. I've missed you. The exams and homework has been taking up my time. Anyways, have you spoken to your mum? She called me and asked about you." She said. I checked my phone and sure enough there were the missed calls and texts from her. I chucked and put my phone away.
"I'll call her soon, and catch up with her too. I'm glad she still worries over me." I said. "We better get going. It's getting late. And I got to get home before my roommate does." She said getting up and holding out her hand. Part of her "job" was to publicly be seen with me. I stood up and grabbed her hand while walking to the café we normally eat at. We sat down and chatted like old times. After an hour or so we said our goodbyes and left. When I got home I was shocked to see Liam and Niall making out in my living room.
AN: I am also posting the first chapter of the sequel. Please Don't Leave is completed but the sequel is not.
