The Pretty One (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 19

Olivia's POV

The week had flown by pretty quickly and Sunday rolled around once again. It was a happy jolly week apart from Ella's apparent mood swings. She still hasn't accepted the fact that me and Louis are officially together, but to be honest, at the moment, I couldn't care less. She's my sister. If she wants to be happy for me then great, no more problems. If not, then so be it. I'm just taking things one step at a time right now.

Speaking of me and Louis, we had just had the best week of our lives. Everything was all mushy between us, gross, I know. But it was like the beginning of the honeymoon period. The time where even the smallest acts emerge the hugest butterflies in your stomach and every little word the two of you speak feels like the entire world has been forgotten. It's just you two in the room.

My ambition for this relationship is that everything stays like this for as long as it can. I don't want this relationship to come to an end. It's the first time I've ever felt feelings for someone this strongly and I wasn't just going to let that go. We may have only been together for the shortest amount of time but it feels like we've been dating for years. Maybe we were just meant to be. Heartbreak's always happen for a reason and to quote Theresa Russo, 'You're just one broken heart close to your happily ever after.'

Everything does happen for a reason, and I'm a firm believer in that. I don't really want to talk about Niall, but I'm going to for the sole reason of this. Whatever happened between me and Niall happened, it's gone. I don't regret anything between us and I'm sure that from the way he acted that night, he doesn't regret anything either. What happened in that relationship made me more stronger today and it made me realise that I'm not some girl who's going to cry over her love.

Sure I thought he was the love of my life and I felt like I was going to spend forever with him, but sometimes things don't work out. That doesn't mean that I would ever change anything. If I had to go back in time and do it all over again, I would. I would take all the pain and the hurt he caused me over something else. Why? Because it brought me closer to the person I am now.

The main reason I don't regret anything is because if Niall had never walked out on me, I never would have realised who I truly do love. Louis. And I know what you're thinking, if I was so sure Niall was the one for me, how can I be sure that the same thing won't happen. But the truth is, something in my gut is telling me that this relationship is going to be stronger. A lot stronger than the one before. There's something just itching in my brain that says that everything will be fine this time, that this is the one true love for me. And it's a feeling that I never got before.

I wouldn't change a thing from my past.

Anyway, like I said, it's Sunday today. The day before we all go back to dreaded Monday, school and work and in my case, they're the same thing. I love my job so I'm not complaining, I just can't be bothered getting up so early in the morning.

Gosh, I sound so lazy. But aren't we all?

Again, like I said, Ella was still hiding away in her room and only ever came down when we forced her to eat her dinner or she had to leave the house for something important. She was still grounded so she rarely left the house and she finally obeyed our rules this time.

However she did get into more trouble when Louis and I found out that she'd decided to tell Niall that our relationship was fake. She instantly apologised and I forgave her. Because in all honesty, it wasn't her fault, she didn't know. I'll admit I was angry at her at first because I thought she'd done more damage to Niall and I. But I rang him the other day and we spoke. Properly. No harsh words were exchanged in anger, and no tears had fallen from our eyes. That last one mainly directed at me.
