6. Say Something...

🎶Would you let, me, see beneath your beautiful...🎶

Chapter 6: Say Something...

(CRYSTALS POV)

I felt completely, totally safe in his arms. Niall had just sang, so perfectly beautifully too. I felt my tears slowly decrease, until I discovered I had stopped crying completely and was just sitting there in his arms, hugging Niall.

"Feeling better?" Niall nearly whispered, staring me deep in the eyes. I couldnt help but notice how pretty his eyes were...a beautiful sparkling blue.

"I...um, a little." I shrugged. Truth was, I did. I felt so much better; Niall had completely wiped my worries away. That boy....he's got skills.

"Good." He grinned, kissing my forehead lightly. For some weird reason, the spot he had kissed tingled a little bit as he pulled away.

"Now, talk. Tell me every little detail about why your upset. I'll help you, I promise. Spill." He demanded, a weak smile playing at his lips. Letting out a small sigh, I gave in. I never would have agreed to telling Nick, but for some weird reason I really trusted Niall. I think he just has one of those auras around him. You know, that feeling around him that just makes him so trustworthy. Like, you really wouldnt mind telling them anything because they just seem so easygoing and trustworthy...I'm not making any sense Anymore. Moving on now...

"C'mon Crystal, I'm waiting." Niall smiled warmly at me, his smile giving me that one little push that I needed.

"I've kinda just...had a lot of rocky relationships before, I guess. Basically. Ive been a singer since I was 13, and so all my serious boyfriends had pretty much just used me for the fame. I really, really hoped Nick would be different, Niall. Truly, I thought maybe he would be sincere. you know, not just using me. Oh my god, I sound like a soup opera actress." I let out a soft, shaky laugh, but Niall's expression was dead serious. "Those guys are absolute idiots." He mumbled, barely audible. I looked up at him in surprise, but he just continued to shake his head and mumble.

"Why would anyone use you for fame? I dont think it'd be possible for them to date you and NOT fall hard for you." Niall said, his voice still barely above a whisper.

"Wait...what?" I asked, my eyes snapping to meet his. Did he just hint what I think he hinted...

"Crystal, im sorry to add my emotions to your problems. I know your busy getting over Nick...that d*ckhead." he said, muttering that last part angrily, his eyebrows scrunched tight together.

"But Crystal...I love you. I fell in love with you through your interviews, your music...and meeting you only sealed the deal. I know your confused, you dont feel the same...but I just..i just needed to tell you." Niall trailed off, his voice growing weaker and weaker.

You know that one feeling you get-when you feel frozen and your tongue wont let you speak a single word? Yeah...thats basically what I felt exactly at that moment. I know I like Niall. That much I know for certain. Hes sweet, kind, gentle, pretty much perfect. You know what they say...'if you truly love the first, you wouldnt fall for the second' and Nick was the first, whilst Niall was the second.

"Please....say something?" Niall pleaded, his bright crystal blue eyes gazing nervously into mine.

"I like you Niall, really. I like like you, a lot. But im just trying so hard to get over Nick...i dont know if im ready..." I mumbled softly...truthfully. Niall's face fell just a tiny bit, before he plastered a half-smile onto his face.

"i understand. Can I help you speed up the process, before I go?" he asked cautiously. I had barely nodded when I found him leaning in, his eyes closing gently. Oh my god. he was going to kiss me. oh my god. was i ready? no, i wasnt. i had to sort out my feelings first. straighten out my thoughts.

But despite myself, I began to lean in too...
