Niall Horan Imagines

21 (Continuation of 18)

Three years had passed since Niall had broke up with you. College was pretty good. You had gone on a few dates with a few different guys, but none of them were Niall. You were in your third year of college, and you had been offered the opportuntiy to study abroad in the UK. You were excited considering the last time you were there was with Niall. You wanted to see it with a fresh pair of eyes. You sat in the airport waiting to board your plane. NBC's Good Morning America was one. They were doing a special in Orlando. "We are here with One Direction. They are going to perform their new song 18." You hadnt really kept up with the boys, but you did talk to them every once in a while. The song played making memories of you and Niall fly through your head. "We took a chance. God knows we tried. Yet all along I knew we'd be fine," Niall sang. You couldnt take any more so you decided to find some coffee. When you got back, the song was over, and they were interviewing the boys. "Some of your fans have a few questions for you guy," the man said, "first question: what is the song 18 about?" The boys looked at each other and then Harry spoke up, "I believe that Niall is in the best position to answer this question." The camera panned to Niall. "Yeah. I'll take this one. When I was 18, I was in love with a girl and I kind of screwed things up between us. I was really scared that we wouldnt work out so I ended it. So basically this song is what I wish would have happened. It is true that I still love her, but I a sure she has moved on. Plus I couldnt do that to her, because I have already caused enough trouble in her life." You couldnt believe what you were hearing. Before you could listen to anything else the boys had to say, you were called to board your plane. You downloaded the album on your phone, and listened to it closely wondering how many songs were about you. The flight landed in London in what seemed like no time. You were jet lagged so you headed straight to your hotel. You were being given to first week to explore London on your own, then you would move on to another part of the country. The next morning, you decided to go shopping. What was traveling without shopping. Several hours passed before you grew very hungry. You entered the first restaraunt you saw. You were seated and you took a look at the menu. "Nandos," it read. Of course, you would go to a resteraunt you had been to so many times before. It looked familiar. "(Y/N)," a voice called. There stood Liam in front of you. "Liam," you said before engulfing him in a tight hug. "What are you doing here, love?" "Oh. I was pretty hungry. Ive been shopping all day." "I meant what are you doing in London?" he laughed at your blonde moment. "Oh yeah uh I am on a study abroad trip with school. We get the first week to explore. I thought you were in Orlando?" "We finished up yesterday afternoon and headed back last night. You should come over for dinner. The boys would love to see you." "I would love that. I havent seen you guys in, what, three years?" "Sounds about right. Where are you staying? I'll have someone pick you up at 7." You gave him your address and phone number. "Well. I best be on my way. I'll see you tonight." "Bye Liam," you waved as he left you alone at your table. You quickly ate and headed back to your room to shower and find the perfect outfit to wear. You curled your hair and put on a royal blue dress that came to your knees and revealed your back. A driver pulled up promptly at 7. It only took about 5 minutes to get to your location. A beautful apartment buidling stood infront of you. The driver came and opened your door before leading you inside. "(Y/N)," Louis yelled as he ran to give you a hug. "You havent changed a bit," Harry smiled while hugging you. "Beatiful as always," Zayn winked. You felt partially complete again. All the boys were there except for Niall. Liam pulled you to the side. "I didnt invite Niall, because I didnt want thing to be awkward." "Thanks, Liam." You ate dinner and caught up with the boys. "How about we watch a movie or play a game?" Louis suggested. "That sounds great," you and Harry said in unison causing everyone to laugh. You guys always used to do that when you were together. In the middle of a game on Jenga, there was a knock on the door. I'll get it Zayn called out. Silence fell across the room as everyone listened to see who it was. "Oh no," Zayn whispered. You could hear the door slowly creak open. "What are ya doing, man? Is everyone here without me? And why isnt anyone answering their phone?" you heard the familiar Irish accent boom through the apartment. "Is he always like this?" you whispered to Liam. "Every since the breakup, he just hasnt been the same Niall," Liam frowned. "But he always looks so happy on tv." "(Y/N) . It is easy to put on a face to make the fans and management happy, but Niall was only truly ever happy when he was with you," Liam said continuing to whsiper. You could hear Niall getting angrier at Zayn. "Can I try calming him down?" You asked the boys. "Yeah," Harry said, "but if you need anything just yell." "Zayn come on dude. Leave Niall there and join us in here," Louis called out. You could tell Niall was fuming even though you hadnt seen him yet. You took a deep breath before turning the corner to see Niall. He stood with his head hung and his fists clinched. His eyes were closed and he was trembling. You did what your instincts told you and hugged him. His tense muscles began to relax, but his eyes were still closed. "(Y/N)?" he whispered. "Yeah Niall. It's me. You can open your eyes now." His eyes flew open, revealing them to be blood shot red. "What happened to you?" you were upset by his appearance. This was not the Niall you loved. "Im so sorry," sobs began to escape his mouth before he began to crash to the floor causing you to catch him. "I forgive you. I forgave you a long time ago, but that doesnt mean I have moved on," you said while running your fingers through his hair. "It's always been you," he continued to cry. "You are going to make me cry and mess up my makeup if you dont stop crying. His sobs quietened down. He tried his eyes with his sleeves. "I screwed up," he frowned. "We all make mistakes." "No that wasnt a mistake that was hell. I was so stupid, because I knew we could work out, but I was so scared that that..." "I already know what you felt." "How?" "Because I've got a heart. And I know where broken hearts go. And yes it does drive me crazy just  how fast the night changes." "You listened to it." "I hadnt plained on it, but I downloaded it on my way here and listened to it." He stood and and regained his composure. "I am really glad you are here." "I hadnt really plained this as part of my trip, but I am glad to be here." "Can we start this, us, all over again?" "Yes we can, because I am half a heart with out you," you said this knowing that it would make him laugh. He threw his head back cackling. "I cannot believe you just did that." "I know. I am so cheesy." So. How would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow at lunch?" "I would be honored," you smiled. "Gosh. I missed you," he said before placing his hand on the small of your back and pulling you close. "I also missed this," he grinned before kissing you. Whistles and hoots filled the hallway, causing your face to turn red. "I think maybe we should go back and join them,' you whsipered in his ear before making your way back to the living room.
