The Soldier (a n.h fanfic)

Chapter 15

Mia's POV

"I want to start school again. I applied for collage." he say looking at me straight dead in the eyes as if he has done something wrong when in reality he hasn't.

"That's great Niall but what about the navy?" I say, hoping that for once and for all he quits.

"Oh. I quit."

Why does he still look sad about this? There's nothing to get sad about.

"Why aren't you happy then?" I ask, he gets up walking from side to the other side of the room. He's making me feel nervous.

"When I met you I realized that you're the girl that I want to spend my life with." he began. "So I decided to apply for two collages and quit the navy after I get into one of them."

He stops for a minute still leaving me clueless why he is sad.

"and I applied for St.Andrews hoping that I would get in to be with you but I didn't I got into the other one instead which is in London."

Than it hits me. He's sad not because he's going back to school again but because one way or another we're still going to be thousands of miles away from each other.

"Why are you telling me this now, Niall?" I ask softly.

"Because I was scared" he replies.

"Scared of what?"

"Losing you. I didn't want to admit this to myself that we're going to be far away from each other again." he sits on the sofa but then he gets up again as if he doesn't know what to do.

I move closer to him putting my hands around his neck and lean my head against his.

"You won't lose me Niall. I promise."

Niall's POV

I felt scared and sick. I was shaking. I already lost her once and I don't want to lose her again. I know that deep in my heart this what she wants for me. For me to start school again and focus on my life but I can't stand being away from her.

As she rest her head with mine my head feels up with little voices telling me to tell her the L-word again. I told her that I love her back when she found out about me not telling her that I'm heading to war more early than she expected but that wasn't a good time.

Finding my true love was my 11:11 wish when I was ten and I'm sure it has come true.

Mia's POV

"That will be 4.00 euros please." I say as I hand a chocolate muffin and a milkshake to an old man.

Since it's summer, work has not been so easy. People are coming in and out of the shop every second and I can't do the work all by myself. Mrs.Hogwood need to fire Courtney and hire a responsible one. Courtney all she does is moan how much work she has to do or else when one of her friends come in she spend all of her time talking and leave me to do the work all by myself.

Like she's doing now.

"Do you know who is she dating?" I over hear Courtney laughing to one of her minions.

I walk a little closer to them as I see her friend looking at me. Are they talking about me?

Her friend starts cracking up as Courtney tells her but I didn't quite hear her very well. I pretend to wipe a table not very far from were they were.

"I can't believe he changed." her friend say and Courtney rolls her eyes and mumble something under her breath.

I'm not getting any clues here. All I know is that she's talking about me because I'm getting a lot of stares from her friend and secondly I'm pretty sure I heard my name a few times.

"Mia."

I turn around and see Liam waving as he sits on a table.

"Hi Liam." I smile. "What do you want to order?"

I jot down his order and head back to the counter. I check if Courtney and her minion are still talking about me. Thankfully I don't think they're. Plus how does Courtney know who Niall is. I never talk about him with her and when he was with me here they didn't look like they know each other.

"Here's your toast." I give Liam his plate.

Curiosity is killing me. I should ask Liam if he knows something. Niall is his best friend I'm sure he knows him inside and out.

"Can I ask you something?"

He nods.

"Do you know that girl over there? Her name is Courtney." I point to her. "I over heard her talking about me and Niall. Well at least that's what I think."

At first he looks like he's about to say something but for some reason he doesn't. He keeps looking at her for a while trying to get a clue what to say.

"uh. No Mia I I'm sorry. I don't know her." he apologies.  I don't know if I should believe him or not he doesn't seem that he's saying the truth.

I nod. "Enjoy your lunch."
