Lost To You

~ Niall's POV ~

We all stayed quiet as Audrey took a call for the second time tonight. I feel awful that they forgot her birthday, and are making her stay here with Louis and I. She's clearly uncomfortable, and not over the break up yet...I don't think either of them wil be for a while.

Audrey's face paled and that once annoyed expression dissapeared. She whispered something into the phone and I looked at Ashton and Louis nervously.

"H-how?" She stuttered into the speaker.

"It's her dad." Joseph told us and me and Louis' mouth dropped open in disbelief.

"For her birthday?" Louis asked and Deborah kept her eyes on Audrey.

"I'll check the flights." Audrey said and a tear rolled down her cheek before hanging up the phone and turning her phone completely off.

"What did he want?" Deborah asked harshly and I couldn't help but feel for Audrey...she's been through so much.

"He wants me to go home." She said and Joseph scoffed.

"I thought we were already over this? You made it pretty clear you were staying here for the summer." He said and Audrey stared at her water.

"She's gone..." Audrey trailed off and we all looked at her in confusion.

"Who?" Deborah asked for clarification.

"My mother...she died just this morning. Fuck." She pushed the hair out of her face before standing up and leaving the booth.

"I'm going back to the hotel. It was nice meeting you, Ashton...and it was good to see you two." She attempted at a smiled but failed miserably. "Thank you for bringing me here...but I think I need to be alone right now. See you later." She said to Joseph and Deborah before exiting the restaurant.

"You really think she should be alone?" I asked them and left the booth to follow her.

"Audrey! Wait!" I called as she tried to wave down a cab.

"What? I have been through enough for one night. I just want to go back to that freaking hotel room and sleep off all of the events that occurred tonight." She pleaded and my heart broke for her.

"I know I'm not your favorite person, okay? I was apart of the conversation about you and if I could take back all of the things we had said, I would! But, Audrey you can't be alone right now...you just found out that your mother died, and if you go back to that hotel room you'll only end up worse than before. You need to talk to someone." I said and she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Who do you suggest I talk to? Deborah? Joseph? Deborah will only pity me, Joseph will convince me not to go to the funeral...what other choice do I have other than being alone?" I stepped closer to her and she sighed.

"Me? I know that you think you can't trust me...but honestly, you can. Just come to the condo, and talk to me or-or Liam! I know you're close with Liam." I said and she played with the ends of her hair.

"I don't think I can go back there...Harry will be there." She whispered and I sighed.

"You can talk to him too. Look, despite the fact you broke up with him...you love him. He loves you and you owe it to yourself to fix things with him." She took in a breath and let out a shaky one in return.

"I can't face him...not after I ended things like that. I'll talk to Liam, but he has to come to the hotel room." She gave in me I smiled softly.

"Okay, we'll meet you there?" I asked and she nodded.

~ Audrey's POV ~

After I changed into me grey sweats and Harry's sweatshirt I sat at the couch and hugged the hoodie closer to me. When Joseph went and picked up my clothes at the condo earlier this week Harry's sweatshirt had made it into my suitcase. It gave me a sense of comfort and I'm surprised it still fits over my baby bump.

There was a light knock at the door and I stood to answer it, knowing it would be Liam. He stood there with blue jeans and a black hoodie, similar to mine.

"Hey." Liam said and I smiled at him.

"Come in?" I said and let him into the hotel room. "Niall said I need to talk to someone." I said and he nodded.

"Niall told us what happened tonight...none of us think that you need to be alone in a situation like this." Liam said and I snapped my had up to make eye contact with him.

"That's not your desicion to make...if I want to be alone, then I should be able to. I have been alone in bad situations before, this time is no different." I said a bit too harshly and he frowned.

"Yes it is...because this time you have us. We aren't going to let you be alone." Liam responded and I sunk deeper into the couch.

"I never thought this is how my summer would be. I promised myself I wouldn't let anyone break down my walls again. I wasn't going to let anyone in...I was going to make sure no one hurt me ever again." I let out a breath.

"Audrey, how do you feel?" Liam asked and I shrugged.

"About what?" I questioned.

"Everything." He said and I rose my eyebrows.

"Is it bad that I can't cry over my mom?" I asked.

"No. I think you have other stuff going on and you don't have the energy to be sad about your mother." He said.

"I'm sad...just not as sad as I thought I would be." I said and he scooted closer to me on the couch.

"Can I be honest with you?" He asked, and I nodded. "I think you and Harry need to be together."

"I know. Liam, I fucked up real bad by ending things...but, I did it because he needs someone in his life that can do things that normal couples do." I said and looked at him.

"No. He needs you, trust me...he's isn't dealing with this as well as you think." That made me curious.

"How has he dealt with it?" I asked.

"Probably the same as you...last night was the first time he socialized all week." He said and I felt my heart leap. "You both need each other more than you think."
