The best friend (One Direction Fanfic) *completed*

Chapter 1

~Katy's POV~

"No! Please don't do that to me, Niall!" I screamed.

He looked at me with his beautiful ocean-blue eyes and a tear rolled down his cheek. I was crying too, but he wiped my tears away with his thumb, that made me cry even worse. We were sitting in my living room on the sofa, the TV was set on mute and was playing different scenarios of an human life, just without any sound. It's kinda sad to watch people cry without making any sound, seeing them yell but not hear anything. 

"I can't believe that you do that do me!"

My sadness turned now into anger and I was yelling at him. Tears still brimmed in my eyes, but I fought them back, not wanting to look weak infront of him. Niall had a look of pure pity and sadness in his eyes and it nearly broke my heart seeing him like that, but since my heart was already shattered in a million pieces, it couldn't get any worse.

"Niall, when you go to X-Factor, you won't have any time to call me or to come home. Then you will become famous and forget me! I don't know if I will be able to handle it." I put my head into my hands as I tried to catch what was even happening right now. I always knew that Niall would leave sooner or later to live his dream, but I didn't expect it to be this soon.

He seemed shocked, but also sad.

"Katy, I won't forget you! I will call you everyday and I will come home as often as possible! We will be best friends forever!"

I bursted out in tears and he hugged me tightly. He smelled of Armani eau de cologne for men and I just love his smell. It's so familiar and it always makes me feel more at home. God, what was I going to miss this boy! I was still in his arms when I heard the growling of his stomach. I giggled and broke away from our hug.

"Are you hungry?" I asked him in all seriousness even if I knew that this question wasn't really necessary. He smiled and and pecked me on the cheek.

"You know me only too well!"

He took my hand and dragged me out of the living room, out of the house and ran down the stairs that led up to my front door before jumping in his car. I came after him and sat on the passenger seat. My long, blonde hair hurtled in the wind, when Niall started driving. He turned the radio on and my favourite song started playing: the man who can't be moved by the Script. It was also Niall's favourite, so we both started singing along. I was singing very quietly, so I could hear Niall's voice. It was amazing and he really deserved going to the X-Factor. He'd noticed, that I was staring at him and that I had stopped singing.

"What's wrong?" He asked while he took his eyes momentarily off of the road to look me dead in the eye. It was only a mere second before he had to look back at where he was actually driving but it felt like so much more. I could see that he was still in pain from my reaction from earlier. I know that my reaction may have been wrong and that I should have been happy that my best friend was realising his dream, but I was under shock. It really got to me, thinking of him leaving.

"Nothing." I responded and gave him a half smile. I was very sad that he was leaving. I had a feeling that he would forget me when he became famous. I would love to believe him and not think of him ever doing something like that, but the more I thought of it, the more I realised that was most likely not going to happen. We had stopped at a Nando's Drive in and Niall ordered our meals.

Since we were kids we come to Nando's and there are so many beautiful reminders of our childhood, like when me and Niall were four and we both went into the ladies toilet and there was that old woman who yelled at Niall because he was in the wrong room. I smiled at the thought of it, but only soon after I felt tears coming back, cause I realised that it would never be like that again.

Niall handed me the food and saw my teary eyes. He smiled weakly and I could see that he was trying to be strong, for me. He gave me a light kiss on the nose and I shivered at the touch of his soft lips on my nose. He looked me straight in the eyes and hugged me tightly.

"Don't cry, you're too pretty for that!" He whispered and it was good that I was in Niall's arms and he wasn't able to see my face, ebcause he sure would've made fun of me for blushing at his simple compliment. I'd never admitted it to myself, but there was another feeling besides friendship I had for Niall.

Every time I saw him, I wanted to kiss him.

Every time I hugged him, I want the moment to last forever.

Every time he touched me, I shivered.

There definitely was another feeling. But I will never have the chance to figure out how strong these feelings exactly are and what I want to do about them, cause tomorrow he leaves for the X-Factor. We finished our meals while sitting in Niall's cabriolet before driving back to my house.

"So, do you wanna have some bro-time with me before I leave tomorrow?" He joked. I giggled and nodded. We entered in the cute white building where I lived with Niall's place right beside mine and started talking, but I couldn't concentrate me. I was too upset by my feelings for my best friend.

I sat on my bed, thinking, while Niall was telling me a story. I didn't really listened to him, lost in my thoughts. I couldn't get my mind off of my true feelings for Niall and how I was sure he would never feel the same.That was the reason he could never know anything about them. It was surely only a crush, and by the time he came back from the X-Factor, they would surely have disappeared. Well, at least that's what I hope. It wasn't long until he noticed I wasn't paying attention and stopped talking.

"And...you're not even listening!" He mocked fake hurt and I smirked.

I let myself fall back on the bed and thought about today, our last day together, and how I wanted to figure out my feelings for him. I closed my eyes, hoping that the growing ache in my chest would disappear.

"What are you thinking about?" Niall asked curiously, letting himself drop beside me on the bed.

"Our friendship and our last day together.." I shrugged and turned around to look at him. He took my hand and intertwined our fingers together. I smiled at this simple but beautiful gesture. Niall returned the smile and pecked lightly my cheek. I cuddled up to him, resting my head on his chest so I could feel his heartbeat. His chest raised and fell as he breathed in and out. We laid there like for some time before I became tired and snuggled up closer to him. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and his thumb rubbed small circles in my back. I relaxed and my eyelids became heavier. The last thing I heard was Niall's soft voice whispering in my ear "I love you.." I smiled, then I drifted off to sleep.

~Niall's POV~

I laid down beside her and we cuddled in her bed. She laid her head on my chest and my heart skipped a beat at the touch of her small fingers on my chest. I took her hand and intertwined our fingers together. Her small fingers fit perfectly with my big ones. I saw as her eyelids became heavier and I wrapped my arm around her tiny waist. I loved this position and I would never let go. Her breathing became regular and she fell asleep. I leaned over to her ear, caressing her beautiful hair and whispering an 'I love you' in her ear. A smile was clearly visible on her pink lips.

She was so beautiful...
