The Beat To My Drum - A Niall Horan Fanfic.

Chapter 3.- I Think I Love You.

Chapter 3. 

Alex's P.O.V.

"Alex.."

An all too familiar Irish accent said quietly.

"Come in." 

I said bluntly with absolutely no emotion. He opened the door and quietly shut it behind him. I put my book down and sat on the end of my bed giving him a stern look which said 'you can't sit there' he sat on some cushions as a sad look appeared on his face since he now knew I was upset with him since I had forbid him from sitting next to me. He leaned against the wall staring at the ground then looking up at me.

"So, are you going to tell me why you're not talking to me?"

He stated with a worried look on his face. He looked just so adorable I wanted to- You're in a mood with him Alex, shut up.

I didn't reply and we shared a short silence.

"What are we Niall?"

I asked confidently as I stared straight at him and we held stern eye contact.

"What?"

His eyes widened as he said it in dis-belief.

"What are we?"

I repeated, as he shifted his position slightly.

"Do I have to put a label on us?.."

He did have a good point.

"Well it would just be nice to know."

"IS it because of what I said in the interview?"

"Maybe.."

I said, he didn't reply but just looked to the ground.

"Well if you can't give me an answer then-"

I turned on my heel to walk out choking back the tears. I was getting way to upset over this. He had promised me nothing, I deserved nothing from him, just an answer was all I wanted. This was more my fault than his.

"Alex."

"What?"

I said, slightly annoyed now.

"You can't just walk away every time I say something you don't like otherwise we'll never sort things out."

I sighed waiting for him to continue. He was right, this was what I did when things got to much. Just walked away. It was the easy option out, the option I'd been taking for years and now I was opting ot of that so easily just because he told me to? He has something over me, which I can't quite put my finger on.

"Just listen to me."

Sighing but at the same time refusing to let tears fill my eyes I sat back on the bed still slightly annoyed but I had to force myself to be this annoyed though his worried face was just too cute.

"Are you upset because I said I was single?"

I bit my lip wondering if a lie wass what was needed here, he might not want a relationship.

"Well yeah because I thought we, I don't know, had something..But I guess I was just being a girl. Stupid."

I said trailing off at the end realizing that I probably sounded clingy and pathetic right now, ew I hated that.

"It's not like that." 

"What is it like then?"

He thought for a moment not saying anything.
