74. heartless

Ignore the terrible title I looked at the first word I liked and made it the title

A/N: my friend showed up to school high as hell the other day and it was the funniest thing I ever witnessed this dumb bitch got off his bus 5 stops to early and fell asleep at the bus stop then walked to school, then he punches a little boy and falls asleep for eight minutes before skipping his ass down the hallways and he got in trouble because he threw a basketball on the school roof and when the teachers were talking to him he just stared at them with his bloodshot eyes it fucking cracked me up so bad

And like I asked him if he remembered what happened and he literally thinks he stayed at home

This chapter isn't even fucking finished but my mom is about to whoop my ass and take away my everything so I'm updating

I'm probably going to die because my mom is going to kill me (quite literally) so when I'm gone for more then two weeks just assume I'm dead. Because I will be dead.

74 -

Probably.

What a bullshit answer.

"So you just...what? Got up and left her?"

"I had to. She called the police."

"You're kind of heartless at times, Niall." I murmur, hugging my knees to my chest as I stare at Niall from his spot across my bed.

"I'm not going to deny it... because it's true..." He replies.

"She's really nice." I mumble, pushing my hair out of my face, studying Niall's facial expressions to see what his reaction to me praising her is. "Liam told me the only reason you talked to me in the beginning was because my personality reminded you of her."

"Liam talks a lot of shit," Niall's face scrunches up. "That's obviously not true."

"I mean we are pretty similar in personalities--"

"It isn't true." Niall interrupts, "Don't listen to Liam."

"Liam is nice."

"And a gossiper!" Niall adds, "He will change anything to make it entertaining."

"But Belle had the exact same story as Liam, Niall." I frown, "You can just admit it, it's alright. I mean it isn't alright but at least you'll be telling the truth."

Niall bites his lip like he's debating over something.

"Niall--?"

"I lied," Niall blurts suddenly.

Niall lies so often when he admits to lying it doesn't even phase me anymore, as to before when it tore my heart apart. In the beginning I would think: "We're dating! Couples don't lie to each other!" But now I've realized we're all humans. Humans lie. You just have to build a bridge and get over it.

"What did you lie about?" I want to add "this time?" but I worry he'll get over offended and pick an unneeded fight.

"When we got into that fight about the whole if you stay alone or if you leave with me I got mad because I thought I was going to have to leave you," Niall bites his lip. I've noticed he tends to bite his lip when he's lying. "Like, I was worried about the police I killed but I just kept thinking I'd have to leave you and that really scared me."

I squint at him briefly before suddenly shaking my head, "Liar. You're lying. You barely make any sense anymore."

"I'm not." Niall raises both his hands.

"I'm not that dumb." I roll my eyes, "Just tell me the truth. Worst case scenario is you are cheating on me with Zayn which is impossible as hell because Zayn is Beyoncé and you're like... Michelle... the one nobody cares about...so it's all good."
