Memories

Chapter 1

"Niall! How about this?" I asked my bestfriend holding up our favorite brand of gum.

He smiled, "Perfect Steph!" He took the pack of gum and stuffed it in the treasure chest.

Niall and I were burying a chest full of all our favorite stuff to remember when we get older, we saw this idea in a movie.

"This is the last thing." He told me holding up a picture of us with frosting on our faces, it was the day we first met and figured out we shared birthdays.

I smiled in agreement as he placed it gently in the chest. He closed it and locked it up. I helped putting it in the hole we dug up and threw dirt over it. After 5mins of covering it up with dirt we let out a sigh of accomplishment.

I grab Niall's hand, "Now, let's say our promise to remember these memories," I said looking up at him, he nodded and held my hand tighter.

"I promise that we will stay bestfriends for ever no matter what, even if we were are a pain in the butt, I love you and will remember these memories even if we are eachothers frenemies." We said together, we did our secret handshake.

"You think we will remember this?" Niall asked wiping dirt off his shirt.

I smiled, "Of course! Why wouldn't we?" I responded, he shrugged and we headed back inside his house.

*Eight Years Later*

"Thanks for the presents mom, no mom I'm not going out to drink. Bye love you!" I close the phone and walk down my steps and enter my living room to watch some tv.

Niall and his new band, One Direction, were suppose to have a live interview here in America. I haven't heard much of him, he's been so busy to even respond to a text.

I moved to New York since I got accepted to a great college here. I flip to the channel and hear screaming fans chant 'One Direction!' repeatedly.

Five boys pop up, each sitting on a chair, I notice Niall and couldn't help but smile.

I only got to see him once, and that was when the band won third place in the X Factor and they all got to see their friends and family.

"Hello! We have One Direction's Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik here in Florida, our favorite british boy band!" The interviewer announced, the boys laughed.

"Actually, it's a British-Irish boyband," Niall told him with a smirk, "I'm Irish," He added.

The interviewer awkwardly laughed. I smiled at Niall's statement. The interview was just half an hour, I couldn't help but look at Niall the whole time, I missed the kid. I see the boys wave as they say their goodbyes to the camera and the audience.

I take my iPhone out and decided to send him a belated Happy Birthday via text. I looked at the screen and see Niall touch his pocket where his phone was, he probably felt the vibration.

The interview came to an end, I awaited for a reply from Niall. After minutes pass, I got nothing.

Was he ignoring me?
