Second Kiss (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 17

*Niall’s P.O.V.*

My lips touched Alexis’ soft cheek, crushing my hopes as it did. I pulled back, embarrassed with my actions. ‘Why did you kiss her?!’ someone screamed in my head. I’m not sure why I tried to, it just felt…right. You know when you meet someone for the first time and you automatically know you like them, that feeling you get. The feeling of love at first sight. Well that’s what I was feeling, like I was meeting Alexis for the first time. Love at first sight…

I was sure she had felt it to, but when she turned her head to the side letting my lips hit her cheek, I knew she hadn’t.

“Uh…” was all that escaped her lips, those lips that I was aiming for. Ugh! I couldn’t believe this was happening! I had been dissed twice from Alexis, the first time being 3 years ago in a janitor’s closet.

I honestly didn’t know what to say to Alexis and I could tell she had no idea what to say to me. We just sort of stood in the middle of my room, staring awkwardly at each other.

As if someone had sent down an angel to get me out of this awkward situation, I heard a knock on my bedroom door. Louis peeked his head through the slightly cracked door, “Hey guys!” he said obviously having no idea what was going on. “Want to come play football (soccer) with me and the boys? Oh and Emma!” Louis said. Alexis head popped up at the sound of Emma’s head, “Emma’s here?” she said. Louis nodded his head yes, “so do you guys want to play? Or were you…busy?” Louis said with a devilish smile on his face, trying to imply that Alexis and I were doing something…naughty. “No!” Alexis and I said quickly together, making us both blush at our unison. “Let’s go then!” Louis smiled and waved his hand for us to follow.

We walked out my front door and to the big field across the street from my house. In the field, there was Liam, Zayn, Emma, Liam’s friend Andy, and…Harry! My face darkened when I saw Harry. He was the reason why Alexis didn’t like me! Because of his stupid flirting! It’s all his fault!

A voice in my mind said “Now Niall, don’t be like that. Harry’s one of your best mates!” Ugh, Stupid conscience! But I knew it was right, why be mad at Harry? I guess it wasn’t his fault, every girl had a thing for him.

My mind stayed in a trance until I heard a deep raspy voice say, “Alexis come join our team!” My eyes darted right towards Harry and Alexis, who was walking up to him. He gave her a tight hug and then wrapped his arm around her shoulder. What the fuck was this?!?! No this was not happening! I was not going to let Harry have Alexis on his team, he was NOT going to get her!

Without even thinking, the words “No, Alexis should be on our team! They’re gonna lose anyway!” came out of my mouth. I automatically regretted it, especially when I saw the look on Alexis’ face. She looked…mad. “No way! You guys have 4 people, we only have 3! So she has to be on our team, we need her!” Harry smiled down at Alexis, cheeky bastard! No girl could resist that perfect smile of his.

But he was right on the team thing; my team had 4 people, who included Liam, Emma (who seemed to always be around Liam now a days…), Andy and me. Harry’s team only had him, Zayn, and Louis. So it would be a good idea if she joined Harry’s team.

But quite frankly, I didn’t want to do the good thing. I wanted Alexis on my team and that was that! Not Harry’s, not Louis, Not Zayns, Not Liams, Nobodys! And I probably would be quite embarrassed if I had said that out loud since it sounded so selfish but I didn’t care!

Then four words came out of Alexis’ mouth that I definitely wasn’t expecting! “I pick Harry’s Team”

When she said that, I literally felt like she had taken a knife and jabbed it right into my heart. And then took it out and stabbed me again! Because when she said that I knew what her decision was, she had picked Harry. Not just his team, but HIM. She picked Harry over me, the guy who had loved her since we were little tikes. She picked the curly haired boy who had barely known her for three months. The boy that knew nothing – and I mean NOTHING- about her!

My angry eyes darted back and forth from Harry and Alexis. I noticed his hand wrap back around her shoulder, and that was it! I was about to blow up! “Okay fine!” I said, dropping the soccer ball that was in my hand, “I don’t feel like playing anymore…”

And then I walked off, ignoring the boys calling me. Ignoring Emma calling me. I even ignored the one voice that could make me do anything. Cause honestly, I was over this.

Over this heartbreak.
