Right Next To You (Narry)

Chapter 13- Digging a Deeper Hole

Niall:

I should just stop talking, literally everything that comes out of my mouth I regret. Why can't I just tell him? Everything would be so much easier...that is if I wanted more than half of the worlds population to hate me. No thank you. I don't think I have ever been this confused in my entire life, not with Alison, not with anyone. Why was Harry so....complicated?

I groaned and rubbed my eyes with the back of my hands.

"You alright lad?" Liam asked rubbing my shoulder gently.

"Perfect." I grumbled as my eyes met Harry's. I knew it wasn't his fault but I couldn't help but be angry at him for making me confused. Life would be so much easier if he didn't exist I thought. But without Harry what would I be? Nothing. After all the times he comforted me, cared for me, told me what to do when I needed help, he was always there.

It was 3 days later and we were back in the states getting ready for our first interview since vacation.

"Boys, you're on in 5." A lady with a headset and bright red lips said holding a clipboard in her left hand and 5 fingers in the air with her right.

"Thanks." Louis said as he sat down on the arm rest of Harry's chair. I felt my chest tighten at the sight of them laughing together at something Louis had said. Was I jealous? Yes.

But that could've been me if I hadn't said something that I shouldn't have. And back to my main point, I should just stop talking. Forever. And I should probably stop lying, I knew that soon enough they were all going to come back and bite me in the butt.

"We should get out there." Liam said.

I nodded and followed the rest of the boys out on stage to get placed for the interview.

"Niall and Harry if you could sit together for publicity purposes that would be much appreciated." One of the hosts said smiling at us. I inwardly groaned as I plopped down beside Harry. I had to scoot closer so that all 5 of us could fit on the small red couch.

"It's so nice to meet you all, I'm Katie by the way." The hostess said.

We all greeted her and exchanged looks. She was rather beautiful. She had long curly brown hair, just like Harry's and bright blue eyes. If I wasn't .....confused....with Harry, I'd probably would've tried flirting with her.

"In 3...2...1...ACTION!" The directer called off from behind the cameras. Luckily this was a private interview without a live audience. Believe me, I loved our fans but this way if any of us messed up we could just edit it out and not many people would have to know. And by the way I was feeling today I was sure I would say something that I shouldn't.

"Good Morning America. I'm Katie and yes girls I'm sitting here with your favorite boy band One Direction." Katie said smiling into the camera. The camera panned over us and I tried my best to look charming and happy.

"Well boys, you've had a great year, best selling single, over a hundred million copies of your album sold, and a sold out tour. Tell us, what's next?" She asked.

I let one of the other boys take that one.

"Well, we have a new album on the way, Niall's been working really hard, already written what is it, 6 songs?" Louis asked turning to me.

I hate you Lou. I thought.

"Yeah." I choked out.

"He's really great, he really is." Louis said leaning back against the back of the couch with his arms behind his head.

I couldn't help but blush.

"So what's the craziest thing a fan has ever done for you?" She asked Harry.
