The day I argued with Harry.

“Hey Brooke”, he said, hugging me.

“Hey Zayn”.

He parted from me and let me in; we sat on the sofa.

“Well, how was your tour?”

“Just great, what about yours?”

“Really great”, we both smiled.

“Glad to hear that”.

“You know what?”

“Tell me”.

“Even though Harry pretends not to care, he’s going through Hell”.

“Zayn, I’ve decided I’m going to forget about him”.

“You should give him another chance”.

“Don’t speak about him, it’s enough”.

“Who was the guy with the motorbike?”

“Derek, he’s a friend”.

“Do you like him?”

“I’ve just met him!”

“Whatever, I’m sure there’s something else”.

He got up and went to the kitchen. A few minutes later he came back with some food and drinks.

“Why did you call me?” I asked him.

“Well, you know Emma’s birthday is next week, right?” I nodded. “The thing is that I’m preparing a weekend kind of…”

“Romantic?”

“Kind of”.

“And what’s the problem with that?” I said.

“It’s a surprise, and she knows I’m hiding something, and we can’t stop fighting. She thinks I’m cheating on her or that I want to break up with her.”

“Zayn, she’ll forget about that when she learns the truth.”

“The thing is that we’ve been about to split up a couple times already.”

“Do you want me to say something to her?”

“What would you say?”

“I don’t know. I’ll just come up with something.”

We spent the rest of the afternoon speaking and eating. Zayn and I had to tell each other a lot of things. I had been missing the times with him, and without any doubt, I needed him. But other doubts were running through my mind, had Blair told Niall she’s moving to Glasgow? What would Harry think of me now? Would Zayn’s surprise go well? And the most important one… was I starting to fall for Derek?

Niall’s POV

The day Blair told me she was leaving London

I called Blair, I wanted to see her. She was coming to my place in half an hour. The truth is I was starting to love her, and well, I was also forgetting about Brooke. I believed that seeing her in Portsmouth would be different. I believed I’d feel the butterflies again, or that I’d get nervous at least. But I didn’t. However, my relationship with Blair had also changed, a lot. We weren’t best friends that kiss from time to time anymore; now I felt something more. Maybe I just got used to her and her personality. She was special, different from any other girl I’d met before. Yes, I was definitely falling for her. About Harry and Brooke, I knew nothing. The only thing Blair had told me is that she didn’t want to get back with him ever again. But we all knew that they were meant to be, sooner or later. I didn’t really care about that, to be honest. Blair rang the bell, so I went to the door and opened it. I saw in her eyes she’d been crying, but why? She gave me a tiny peck on my lips and came in. She went to the kitchen and took a couple of beers. That worried me, because she didn’t usually drink during the day. She opened them and gave me one. She drank it up, and so did I.

“Shall we go to the living room?” I asked her.

She nodded. She was acting very weird, what was wrong with her? She hadn’t even said a word to me. We sat on the couch and I decided to ask her what was going on, because whatever it was, it was killing me.

“What’s wrong Blair?”

“It’s over”, she whispered.

“What?”

“This, us, it’s over”.

I couldn’t believe it, what did I do wrong? I’d forgotten about Brooke, I was falling for Blair. And right now, when we’re on our best, it’s over.

“But why? What happened? What did I do?”

“You did nothing. It’s just… I’m moving away”.

“What? Where?”

“Glasgow, my dad got a new job there”

“You can’t do this to me, not now”

I got up and started to go round the room.

“This is it, Niall. I’m sorry”

“When are you leaving?”

“Next week”

“Next week?? And you tell me now?? You can’t do this, you can’t!”

I started crying, I was really mad. Just a week… I noticed she was also crying. She got up and stood in front of me.

“Niall, I’m sorry, but…”

“Why did it take you this long to tell me? Why now?”

“I didn’t know if it was a final decision”.

“Blair, no excuses, please. Do you want to end it like this?”

“What else can we do?”

“I’ll go see you as often as I can, but don’t let this be over, please…”

“It wouldn’t work. You’re busy, and you wouldn’t be able to go see me every time you’d like to”

“Let’s just try it!”

“No, Niall, I’m sorry…”

“This is just an excuse so you can break up with me, isn’t it?”

“No, you know I’m not like that…”

I stopped crying, but she didn’t. I sat on the couch with my head on my legs, touching my hair, I was nervous….

“Just a week… this can’t be true…”

Blair sat on the floor, in front of me. Now she wasn’t crying either, but a sad smile was on her face.

“Niall, I’m sorry, I couldn’t tell you earlier…”

“You couldn’t or you didn’t want to?”

“I couldn’t! Who do you think I am? Niall, I love you, you know that.”

I got up again, she followed me.

“You know what Blair? Maybe this is the best for us, to end this”

“Yes… I guess so”

“No! It’s not! It’s not what I want!”

“What do you want? A month ago you loved Brooke, and now you’re mad because I’m leaving, clear your mind, Niall!”

“I want you to stay! I want to love you!”

“What do you mean Niall?”

I came closer to her and took her by her hands.

“I want you to stay, I want this to go on; I want you to be mine. I want to see you every day. I want to kiss you for no reason. I want to cuddle up with you every night. I want to spend hours and hours doing nothing. I want to comfort you when you cry. I want to be the one that makes you smile. I want to be the one that gets you mad, I want to be the one you get angry with, and then you forgive. I want you, by my side.”

And then I kissed her. It was then when I realised I was in love with her. It was then when I realised I didn’t want to lose her. It was then when I realised it was the first time I said I truly loved somebody. And it was then when I knew she was the girl I’ve always been looking for.
