Zianourry: Ignored

Niall was laying on the couch eyes shut. He heard the others talk and thought they thought that Niall was asleep. The boys were apparently doing something funny together because they just laughed.

"Ugh, I don't feel like being here.. Should we go out?" Zayn suggested.

"That's a good idea! The weater is nice too", Liam said and Niall heard them getting up.

"Lou, Harry? You coming with us?" Liam asked. The two other boys hummed. Niall was still laying emotionless, none of them asked him to come so he wasn't going to go if they didn't want him.

This had been happening a lot lately. The boys just had been going out together, only four of them. They just always forgot to ask Niall and he blond boy was tired of their apologising.

He sat up after the boys had walked out and took his phone. They were in L.A and he knew one people who he could hang out with. Justin Bieber.

Hi, man. Wanna hang out? -Niall.

Ofc, come over! -Justin

Niall loved to hang out with Justin. He wasn't gay, he liked Justin just as friend. The boy was just so chill and relaxed that with him was so easy to talk. He always found something funny to do. He also could help everyone and didn't laugh if you had something weird to worry about, like Niall now. He wanted to talk with Justin.

Niall stood up and took his jacket. He wasn't going to text the boys where he was going, they didn't tell him either. He walked out of their hotel and put his hoodie up, he didn't want the fans to recognize him now. But there was a fans outside the hotel who instantly knew who Niall was. They started screaming and it took a while to Niall to get to the taxi, because Niall had to sign things and took photos with fans. Finally he got to the taxi and told the driver Justin's adress.

The whole ride he thought about Louis, Harry, Liam and Zayn. Why were they ignoring him all the time? Like, on the interviews when he was telling something always Louis or Liam or someone cut him off and it was like Niall never said anything. And when they were going out Niall was always in his hotel room and the boys didn't come to ask him to go out with them. On the concerts they acted like Niall wasn't there, at least Niall felt like they acted that way.

He felt alone and just wanted someone to be with him. It felt like the boys wanted him out of the band, that they didn't care about Niall anymore.

Niall paid to the driver and then quickly got out. He walked to Justin's door and rang the doorbell. Soon the door opened and Justin was standing there.

"Hi, bro. Wassup?" Justin said and they did a weird handshake/hug thingy.

"Nothing much.." Niall mumbled and followed Justin inside. They went to the living room, there was tv on but Niall had no idea what the program was.

"Why aren't you with your mates?" Justin asked and sat down looking at Niall.

"Nah.. I-I.. I just …" Niall tried to find something to say. Justin looked at him worriedly and put his arm around Niall's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Justin asked.

"I think they hate me.. They've been ignoring me a long time", Niall blurted. He almost started crying, he cared about the boys but it seemed like they don't care about him. Niall didn't cry though, he couldn't be so weak shit that he would cry because of this.

"Maybe you just feel like it, I'm sure they don't hate you", Justin said and hugged Niall.

Niall spent the whole day with Justin. They played guitars, sang, did a twitcam and cooked. Niall had really fun and maybe that's why he forgot they have an interview the next day.

He had fallen asleep on Justin's couch while Justin was sleeping on the floor. The both shot up when Niall's phone started ringing. The blond boy quickly searched it.

"'ello", he answered tiredly.

"Where are you, Niall?!" Liam shouted on the phone and Niall flinched.

"Nowhere.."

"It's not time to be funny, Niall! We have an interview in an hour so you better come!" Liam shouted.

"Oh shit, I'm coming", Niall said and hung up.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck.." Niall repeated when he searched for his jacket and wallet.

"What?" Justin asked and stood up.

"We have an interview, I have to go", Niall said and finally found his stuff. Justin just laughed as he watched Niall. They said goodbyes and Niall was out of the door.

* * *

The next week, which they were in L.A Niall spent every day with Justin. He thought that the boys didn't notice it because they never noticed him anymore. But really Louis, Liam, Zayn and Harry were jealous. Niall wanted rather spend time with Justin than them. But what they didn't know, yet, was that they had caused it themselves.

One day Niall was, once again, going to see Justin. The boys stopped him on the hallway out of their hotel rooms.

"Where are you goin'?" Liam asked and crossed his arms on his chest.

"Out", Niall said and tried to walk past them.

"Niall! Why aren't you with us anymore? We want to spend time with you!" Louis shouted.

"You just ignore us all the time!" Zayn shouted too. That was what stopped Niall and he turned around furiously.

"I'M ignoring YOU?! You don't get it, do you?! You were the ones who ignored me first, week ago you just went out together, you never asked me! In the interviews I never got a chance to talk because you cut me off all the time! And on the stage you just act like I'm not there! So don't you dare to say that I'm the one who ignores you! I'm spending time with Justin because you don't seem to be interested to spend time with me! I bet you just hate me!" Niall yelled tears in his eyes. He had cried once to Justin a couple of days to go how bad he felt, and now he was about to cry again.

The boys just stared at him and Harry was the first one to realize that it was true.

"Oh my gosh, Niall!" Harry gasped and went to the crying boy.

"We never meant to ignore you! I promise, we don't hate you at all! I'm so sorry!" Harry said and felt like crying himself too. He held the sobbing boy close and just hugged him. The other boys came to the hug soon too and were aplogising Niall. Some other people were sneaking their heads out of their rooms to see what had caused the yelling, when they just saw five hugging boys they went back to their rooms.

"We're so sorry, Niall! Next time we do something like that.. Just.. Just hit us or do whatever you want to!" Liam said.

"I just want you to care about me.." Niall hiccuped and curled to the couch where he had walked with the boys.

"We care about you, little leprechaun", Zayn said and brushed Niall's hair with his hand. They all cuddled on the couch together and Niall felt loved, again.
