I Will Always Love You - A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Twenty One

~Charlotte's POV continued~

"We're back!" I shouted, opening the door to Louis' and Harry's apartment.

Everyone stared at Stacey, Daniel, Katie and I for a second, befor Louis came up to me and hugged me, "CC!" he screamed.

How was he always the first to say hello?

"Hey Louis!" I hugged him.

I hugged the rest. It was kind of awkward hugging Niall, though.

"Boys, I would like you to meet my little brother, Daniel, who Niall already knows, and his girlfriend, Katie," I said, smiling.

They said their hello's and nice to meet you and things and sat down.

"So, I was thinking.." Harry started, as he sat with Stacey on his lap.

We looked at him.

"Well, my Great Aunt owns a house in Australia, and since we have a few months off, I thought we could all go and stay there."

"That's a great idea!" we all smiled.

I couldn't help but notcie something off about Zayn.

Before I let if bother me, I turned to Harry and asked, "So, when?"

"Well, we could go tomorrow? I know you just got back, but at least we won't be leaving each other this time. We will all fly together."

"I don't mind. I actually love flying. How many bedrooms?"

"Uhm, 8 I think? And it has 9 bathrooms, 2 rumpus rooms, a longe room, formal lounge room, a dining room, formal dining room and a kitchen as well as an attic--which is just filled with boxes--and a 6 car garage." he explained.

Our jaws dropped.

"Wow, you're Great Aunt is rich!" Niall said.

Harry chuckled, "I know. It's freaky. And the mansion is practically in the middle of nowhere."

"So, it's settled then!" Stacey shouted a little too loudly. "We are going to fly to Australia and stay in Harry's rich Great Aunt's mansion."

We all cheered.

"Oh, I have to tell you guys something." I said, a little useasy.

All eyes met mine.

And I explained everything about my mum.

"Wow, why did you come back then?" Zayn asked.

"Well, my mum practically forced Daniel and I out the door. She said she didn't want us to give up our lives for her."

"You're a strong girl, you know that?" Louis told me.

I smiled at him.

We hung out for a little longer, then headed off to our apartments to pack. Harry said he would book the flight tickets for early tomorrow morning.

While in my room packing, I decided to call my dad.

I had to talk to him about something, but I couldn't before because mum was there.

I sat on my bed, with my suticase still only half packed. Even though I already had my suitcase packed from my visit to Ireland, I wanted to refold everything and switch things.

Cause I'm weird like that.

I dialled my dads number in my phone and clicked call.

In two rings, he answered.

"Hello?" he said.

"Listen. dad. I have to talk to you. I was going to yesterday but mum was there, so I couldn't."

"What's up sweetie?"

"Look, you can't leave her."

"I won-" I cut him off.

"No, I'm serious. You can't zone out like you did with my sister. You have to be there for her. No matter what happens, promise me you won't leave her or hurt her." I said, sniffling a little.

"I promise you I won't. Zoning was the biggest mistake I have ever done, and I don't ever want to do it again."

I sighed in relief, "Good." Then I went on explaining our plan to go to Australia. He thoght it was great.

We talked for a bit longer, just some ridiculous father-daughter stuff.

"Ok, I have to finish packing now. We are leaving early tomorrow morning. I love you, dad."

"I love you too, sweetie."

I hunng up and finished packing, then decided to have an early night.

I wander if Rosaline was coming with us.

I mean she wasn't in Harry's and Louis' apartment earlier today, so I wander if Niall invited her along.

Probably.

Before I got changed and got into bed, I decided to go ask Niall.

I knocked three times and stepped away from the door.

Within a few seconds, Niall was in front of me.

His blonde hair fell perfectly over his forehead, with a few strands over his eyes. His blue eyes glistened under he light.

"H-hey," I started, but wasn't sure if I could finish.

"Hey," he side smiled.

God, I loved it when he did that.

"Well, um, I was wandering if Rosaline was coming with us Oz?" I asked.

"Why do you care?" he asked, not of hatred, but of curiousity.

Yeah, why did I care? I mean, Niall had moved on so why did I care so much?

"I dont know, I was just curious." I shrugged.

"Well, no she isn't," his eyes narrowed a little. "She's not allowed to. You hate her anyway."

"I never said that."

"Well, you have been implying it for quite some time now," he stuck his hands in pockets.

"So, you expect me to like her?"

"Kinda."

Instead of yelling at him, I just sighed, "So you don't love me anymore?"

"I never said that. I just didn't think I would fall for Rosaline. But I guess I did." He sighed as well, "I'm sorry, but I don't feel anything for you anymore."

Owch.

Now that really hurt.

Instead of going hysterical, I crushed my lips to his.

He didn't pull away.

After a few secs, I pulled away and said, "You can't tell me you didn't feel anything just then."
