Insecure

And our paper houses reach the stars 'til we break and scatter worlds apart

Paper Houses - Niall Horan

AN- Last chapter before the epilogue folks!

"Where did he go Liam?"

"Sara just calm down, you look like you're about to pass out." Liam says as he kneel down and wraps his arms around me, I turn into his grasp and pound against his chest in anger and pain.

"Where did he fucking go?" I shrill before completely breaking down in his arms. Liam sits back and pulls me into his chest.

"Shhhh it's ok Sara, I've got you." He coos as he rocks me gently, Liam has always hand a calming effect on me. Kind of like an older brother I guess which is nice because it's something I've never had. "I'm so sorry." He whispers as I choke back sobs.

I can't believe he just left like that, especially after the weekend we just had. Why didn't he tell me and what else is he hiding from me? Was this his plan all along? One amazing weekend to make me fall head over heels in love with him all over again just before he leaves with Lottie and their kid?

"Sara?" Niall's voice sounds, he sighs when he see's me curled into Liam's lap. He sets a box down before sitting down across from us and holding a piece of paper, "We need to talk love." He says softly, I turn to face him but stay in the comfort of Liam's arms. 

"He had to leave Sara." He whispers, "You have 6 weeks of school left and he didn't want you destroyed by another controversy, what you and Harry have is special. He doesn't want people to talk and berate you about an affair with a staff member..... Again." Niall explains, he did this for me? To protect me from what others may say.

"But we would of gotten him through it together, we're strong enough."

"You are strong enough Sara, but Harry? It would absolutely gut him seeing you the target or others, he's not strong enough." Liam says softly as Niall nods in agreeance. 

"While he's helped you gain security in yourself, Lottie's been slowly stripping his away. You should see some of the text messages she's sent him." Niall mumbles as he takes out his phone, No, Harry's phone. "You may as well just sign over your rights now because you'll be a shittier father then your own." Niall reads, "You should just let Nathan have her. At least he knows how to please a woman. Or You may be book smart Harry but out here in the real world you're just another emotionally stupid hot guy with tattoos. She will see you for what you are soon enough but don't worry, you'll always have a place with me. This one's a real kicker, Why don't you just go jump off a bridge like your father, it would make everyone's lives so much better."

She was abusing Harry, Lottie was abusing my man. 

"Why do you have his phone?" I ask quietly and Niall sighs.

"Evidence, plus he doesn't want anyone to find him, not yet. You should of seen him Sara." Niall says softly, his eyes shine with emotion for his best friend. 

"He did this for you, please don't hate him." Liam whispers against my hair as Niall stands up and moves the box he had brought in front of me.

"Harry asked me to give this to you, take all the time you need." He says before excusing himself.

"Do you want me to stay?" Liam whispers and I shake my head.

"Thank you but I just want to be alone." I mumble as I crawl off his lap, he stands up and kisses my hair.

"Just let me know if you need anything Sara, ever." He says softly before leaving the room, my fingers trace the lid to the box before pulling the top off. On the top was a large scrap book, it was just like the photobook Harry had made for us but this one was handmade. By him.
