🎶Your giving me such sweet nothing...🎶

Chapter 5: Hear Me Out

(CRYSTALS POV)

I sat there in my room. For nearly 4 days I just moped around my little cabin, drowning my sorrows in macaroni and cheese. The poster on the wall had all the names of every pop star in the camp, and I'd spent so much time staring at it I swear I'd memorized all the names. I was just scrolling along twitter for what had to be the 80th time today when a sharp knock sounded at my door. I froze, not in any mood to let anyone in.

"Crystal, I know your in there." Aww crap. I knew that voice.

"I'm not here Niall, go away." I retorted lamely, throwing my macaroni and cheese cup into my trash can.

"Crystal, I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to say anything and...yeah. If Whatever's making you upset had something to do with me, I'm sorry." Niall said though my door, his voice sounded regretful. Letting out a Short sigh, I hauled my lazy bum off the bed and trudged slowly towards the door, opening it with a soft thud.

"Hi." I said bluntly, hoping that my facial expression and obvious unclean attire would scare Niall away. My mind was so f*cked up right now...part of my mind wanted to hear Niall out. I really did care for him but...i wasnt sure how much. The other part was screaming, "oh my god Crystal, you just broke up with Nick! Go stuff your face in a pillow." Yeah...don't ask.

"Hey." Niall smiled.

"What do you want." I asked bluntly.

"I want a yacht and really that's not, a lot.." Niall sang, pulling a funny face.

"Really Niall? No, seriously..." I cracked a tiny smile.

"Seriously? Could you let me help you? I want to know why you've been moping around." Niall said firmly. I let out a soft sigh...I wasn't arguing.

"Come in." I shrugged, stepping aside so he could enter the room.

"So...why've you been moping around nearly all week?" I quizzed her, sitting down on the wood floor next to her. I felt an urge to wrap my arms around Crystal, because she just looked so small and fragile. She sat there, hugging her knees tight to her chest and she looked like she was about to cry. I know she had a boyfriend and definitely wasn't ready for me to love her like I do. So...I'm trying as hard as possible to keep it to a friendly mood. As hard as it is for me.

"I...I'm just so confused..." She confessed softly, biting her lip a little.

"Confused by what, Love?" I pressed...whatever it was, I wanted her to be able to tell me.

"I...my boyfriend, he...he broke up with me. And I just, I just don't know what's going on in my f*cked up mind right now." She said, a silent tear finding its way down her perfect face as she tried not to break into violent sobs. I felt an aching pressure in my heart; she looked so miserable it nearly broke me. Reaching over, I pulled her into a tight Horan Hug. She desperately needed one, clinging onto me as if onto life.

"Shhh...." I soothed her as her body began to shake with sobs, her tears staining into my shirt.

"It's gonna be alright...I'm here for you princess." I whispered to her, rubbing her back gently. As soon as the words slipped out of my mouth, I nearly froze. I'd called her princess. Was she really my princess? That one girl is been waiting for? Yes...I think she is. Crystal's my Princess, even if she doesn't know it yet.

"Calm down Crystal, calm down..." I hummed softly, before I began to softly sing to her.

"Lights will guide you home...and I will try...to fix you." I sang gently, rocking her back and forth as I felt her heartbeat against my chest. Slowly, she stopped crying, her nose red and eyes slightly puffy from tears. But despite all that, she still managed to look so perfectly beautiful.

"Thank you" she murmured, letting out a short breath.
