Never forget me...
Chapter 22: I may be mad but that doesn't mean I don't care.
Sage’s POV
“Sage” Niall whispered from behind me. “Sage”
“Huh?” I mumbled curling into a ball.
“It’s time to get up.” He set his hand on my waist.
“Five more minutes?” I asked quietly.
“You said that 30 minutes ago.” He chuckled.
“Fine.” I complained uncovering myself.
Niall was still chuckling when I stood up and stretched. I looked around the room and noticed it was just us, Harry was gone.
“Where’s Harry?” I asked pointing to his empty bed.
“Getting coffee.” He yawned rolling onto his back.
“Oh, how’d you sleep?” I grabbed some clothes out of my bag.
“Great, that bed is super comfy.” He was right, that bed was amazing.
“Good.” I smiled walking back to the bed with my clothes. “Has anyone talked to Zayn after last night?” I knew it was a sensitive subject but I had to know.
“Not that I know of.” He shrugged looking at me. “Do you want me to leave so you can change?”
“Nah, I don’t really care.” I mumbled slipping my shirt off.
He laughed and looked at the ceiling as I put a tee shirt on over my bra. I threw my shirt at Niall when I noticed him looking at me.
“Stop watching me.” I giggled hearing the door open. “Good morning, Har-bear.”
“Good morning.” He smiled handing me a cup of hot coffee. “How’d you two sleep?” He raised an eye brow.
“Great.” We both answered with smiles.
“You guys are so weird.” He shook his head and handed Niall a cup before lying down on his bed while I slipped a pair of jeans on. “So, what are we doing today?”
“I don’t know.” Niall answered in a pained voice receiving weird looks from us. “I burned my tongue.”
“Good job genius.” Harry laughed.
“I’ll be right back.” I shoved my feet in slippers before walking to the door.
“Where’re you going?” Harry asked sitting up.
“To talk to the guys.” I answered quietly.
“Okay.” Harry looked satisfied by my lie when I turned around.
I walked out of the room and toward Zayn’s room. My mind was racing with questions about everything, all the time we’d ever spent time together and every other memory we’ve shared.
“Sage?” Louis’s voice asked making me jump.
“Yea?” I asked turning around.
“Where’re you going?” He asked protectively.
“I know you don’t get it but I need answers.” I looked at Zayn’s door that I was standing in front of. “Please don’t be mad.”
“No, I understand. Go talk to him, Liam and I will keep them busy.” He smiled weakly.
“Thanks Lou.” I mumbled looking at the door. “Here we go…” I mumbled to myself.
I reached up and knocked on the door. Hearing russling from the other side of the door made me nervous but I knew I needed to talk to him. He opened the door wearing a pair of pajama pants slung low on his hips and no shirt. My eyes wandered down his chest and shot up to his face where I saw his black eye.
“Hey” He said shyly.
“Can I come in?” I asked impatiently.
“Sure.” He moved aside and let me in. “I’m so sorry about last night, you know that I care abo-“
“I need to say something before I listen to you.” I cut him off and paced the room while he sat on the edge of his bed. “I know we’ve been through a lot, sometimes we don’t get along and other times we get along like no other and through it all I’ve realized that I love you. I don’t know how I mean that but I know that I cant live without you and last night killed me. You can call it whatever you want but I don’t really believe you after that. If you can lie to them, you can lie to me. That’s all I needed to say to you.” I turned to the door.
“I-I love you too.” He stuttered. “I have for a while and I lied because no matter what I said I knew I wasn’t going to leave uninjured. I cant live without you either, I don’t want to try.” He stood up and grabbed my hand making me look at him.
“Maybe you should have thought about that last night.” I snatched my hand away and continued to the door. “Liam is the only one who’s still mad I think.”
“Why are you helping me if you're still mad?” He asked in a hurt tone.
“I may be mad but that doesn’t mean I don’t care.” I mumbled opening the door.
I heard him sigh while I walked over to Louis and Liam’s room.
“Louis?” I asked through the door.
“Are you okay?” He asked opening the door.
“Not really.” I mumbled looking into his concerned eyes.
“Come here.” He pulled me into a hug, letting the door close. “I’m sorry sweetie, what happened?”
“I told him that I love him.” I whispered quietly.
“You love him?” He sounded so surprised. “I should’ve known.”
“I do and I have for a while.” I leaned back and noticed Liam sitting on the bed.
“I’m gonna go.” He stood up and headed toward us.
“If they ask, I’ve been in here with you guys for a few minutes please.” I pleaded with him. “You may not understand it but I had to talk to him.”
“I know.” He looked down at me. “Do what you need to do and I’ll be there for you, I don’t get what’s going on with you two but I get needing to talk to him.”
“Thanks Liam.” I mumbled feeling him kiss my temple.
“Do you still need to talk?” Louis asked once Liam was gone.
“No, I’m okay. Thanks for listening.” I grabbed the door handle.
“You’re welcome.” He smiled following me to my room.
“-anyone still mad at Zayn?” Harry asked as we walked in.
“No.” Everyone mumbled.
“Okay good. He’s going with us today, Niall fix your shit with him so everything can be normal again.” Harry was really serious and it was kind of scary. “Liam, say whatever you need to say to him and we’ll be over last night. We all know that he cares about her and last night was a lie.”
“Okay.” Liam and Niall both answered walking to the door.
“Sage” Niall whispered from behind me. “Sage”
“Huh?” I mumbled curling into a ball.
