Stop The World

Chapter 6

¨You left school!?¨ My mom yelled at me.
     

  ¨I..well..it's not...yeah.¨ I said putting my head down.  
     

  ¨Why would you do that?¨
     

  ¨Um...I don't know.¨ 
So me and Niall got lunch detention once again and instead of sitting in his car and talking he took me out to lunch. The plan was to come back before lunch was over but we completely lost track of time. We drove around the city after we ate and then he took me to this abandoned building and sat on the roof talking. I imagined Niall having some secret place he liked to go too to clear his mind. I imagined Niall finding thses places to be adventurous. It was easy being with Niall. Everything felt so natural between us. Nothing was forced. Nothing was ever awkward. By the time I noticed what time it was school was already over. And when I got home the school had called my mom to inform her I was missing form my last three classes. I couldn't blame her for being mad at me. I was upset too. I needed these classes. But I liked being with Niall. It was fun. It was almost as if he was bringing out another side of me.  
       

¨I get you're growing up and want to be a little rebellious at times but skipping school is completely wrong.¨ 
     

  ¨I know and I'm sorry mom. Won't happen again, I promise. I don't know what got into me¨ 
     

  ¨I trust you. I have to go run some errands before your father comes home from work. I'm picking up something to eat what do you want?¨ 
       

¨Chicken please.¨
     

  ¨Okay see you in a couple of hours. Love you.¨
   

    ¨Love you too.¨ 
Since I was alone maybe I should have Liam come over. I had barely saw him today. I heard my phone buzz. It was a text from Harry. Crap. I completely forgot I was supposed to hang out with him after school today. I'll just have him come over then. I kept thinking about Niall. Maybe having him in my life and changing things up a little bit wasn't so bad after all. I always so uptight about anything and everything. Maybe letting loose was a god idea. I couldn't always be so uptight about every single detail in my life. I needed to learn I couldn't always be in control no matter how hard I tried to be. But of course routine wasn't bad either. Maybe somewhere there would be a good balance of it all. I leaned back on my couch. I should defiantly introduce Niall to the group because he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. He would be a great addition and I knew he'd fi in perfectly. There was something about him that you just couldn't hate. Between those eyes and that laugh he was perfect. Well, at least in my eyes he was. I heard the doorbell and I got up to answer the door.
       

¨There's my beautiful girlfriend who stood me up today.¨ Harry said pulling me into a tight hug. 
       

¨I did not stand you up. My mom wanted me to come home.¨
       

¨So we have the house to ourselves?¨ Harry smirked as he walked in. 
     

  ¨Alone but not for long.¨
 I wasn't technically Harry's girlfriend at the moment. We had been on and off for the last year. We've dated since we were freshman and up until last year. I broke up with him after he lied to me about going to parties and hanging out with girls. We never stayed broken up for long. But this time I wanted it to be different. I wanted to take things slow again with him. I wasn't his girlfriend but yet he told everyone I was. No one talked about our relationship. No one even dared to have that conversation with us. They just kind of left it as it was. Whatever it was. We had been broken up for a couple of months now. We still hung out and he still made sure to take me out on dates sometimes. But I didn't want to be tied down right now and I don't think he wanted to be either. It was our senior year. He wanted to have fun and I wanted to focus on school. 
       

¨What do you wanna do?¨ Harry asked flopping onto my couch.
   

    ¨Knowing you, you're probably hungry. Am I right?¨ 
   

    ¨You know me so well.¨ 
       

¨Only because I've known you for three years.¨
       

¨You mean dated.¨
        ¨Do we have to talk about this?¨ 
Harry always wanted to talk about our relationship and when he was going to get me back. Sometimes it just got plain annoying. If I wanted to be with him right now I would be. Of course Harry was a big part of my life and always would be but right now I just needed to focus on senior year. I felt his hand tug my down to him. I fell onto his lap lazily and wrapped my arms around his neck. 
       

¨You're always my girlfriend even if you don't want to be.¨ he said sweetly. 
     

  ¨You're always my boyfriend.¨ 
Harry's lips connected with mine. I had to admit I coudn't resist Harry. I took one look at his face and melted. He was just so adorable I couldn't take it. I pulled away from him and he smiled at me. 
       

¨I take it you're giving into me.¨ 
       

¨Maybe, maybe not.¨ 
        ¨I think so.¨ 
The doorbell rang interrupting us. I got up after fighting Harry away and answered it. It was Niall. What was he doing here? We didn't have plans to hang out or none that I knew of.
       

¨Hey Niall.¨ I said. 
     

  ¨Hey are you busy right now?¨ he asked biting his lip. 
       

¨Um..¨ 
       

¨Who's this?¨ Harry asked walking up to me. 
       

¨This is Niall.¨ I said. 
Harry's arm slung over me and he pulled me to him. He clearly didn't like the fact that Niall was here right now even though it wasn't a big deal.
     

  ¨Niall this is Harry.¨ I said introducing them. 
     

  ¨I'm her boyfriend.¨ 
     

  ¨That's cool. I just wanted to stop by and ask if you could help me with some homework tomorrow during free period. I was just on my way home and I figured I would stop and ask.¨ Niall said running his fingers through his hair. 
       

¨Uh..yeah I'll help you.¨ 
       

¨Thanks. See you tomorrow.¨ 
He walked away and Harry shut the door. I defiantly wasn't expecting Niall to show up at my doorstep.
