This Town

Chapter: 1 Back Home

A/N: Listen to Niall Horan's You and Me for a better environment :)

Paul: "Ok, Niall. Are you ready to go?"

Niall: "Yeah. Just let me say my goodbyes to the boys."

Paul: "Ok. Go ahead."

I walked into the living room to say my goodbyes to the boys. I was going back to my hometown after one year. We finally got our break, and the boys and I decided to visit our parents during it. I opened the door to the living room.

Niall: "Hey boys, I am going to leave for Ireland. Goodbye."

Zayn: "Why are you going so early?"

Niall: "'Cause I have got a flight to Ireland, and you just need to drive to your parents' house."

Louis: "Oh. Right. Sometimes we forget that you're Irish."

Niall: "Well, I am gonna leave now, or I'll miss my flight. So, goodbye, boys. I'll miss you."

Liam: "We'll miss you too, Niall. Have a safe journey."

Niall: "Thank You."

I closed the door and ran straight to the car. We quickly got to the airport, and I boarded my flight. I was waiting there for my flight to be called. After five minutes, my flight was called. I quickly got up and boarded the flight. An air hostess helped me find my seat. I finally sat in my seat and waited for the flight to take off. I am so excited to go back home. I miss everyone so much. Though I am excited to go back home, I am nervous to see Clare. I never talked to her or contacted her after I broke up with her back then. I got so busy with the audition. After that, I became a part of One Direction. I miss her so much. But what if she doesn't like me anymore? Did she find someone new? But whatever it is, I still want to be friends with her like we were before. I remember the day very well when I broke up with her. It's like it's pasted inside my mind. The sadness and hurt in her eyes always make me feel guilty.

(Flashback)

A/N: Listen to Shawn Mendes' Never be Alone while reading this for a better environment :)

Clare: "Hey, babe! How have you been this morning?"

Niall: "I am fine." I said coldly. I had to act like that after all what I am going to do right now. I looked towards her. It seems like she is having a very great day, she's really happy, but now I am going to be the reason to ruin her day, Oh I don't want to do this. Wait-what? No, Niall, you've to do it, it's for her benefit only! Suddenly Clare snapped me out of my thought.

Clare: "Hello? Earth to Niall."

Niall: "What are you doing?"

Clare: "Well, you asked me to come to your house because you wanted to talk to me. Right? Do you remember?"

Niall: "Yeah. I do."

Clare: "So, what is it now?"

Niall: "I actually wanted to talk about 'us'."

Clare: "What do you mean." She said worrying.

Niall: "I think, it's not working between us. It's better if we just stay friends."

Clare was now crying. I know she didn't think our relationship was not working. It was fine. I had to lie to her. It's just the audition and stuff. I don't want her to keep hanging. I want the best for her which I am not, and that is why I proposed to still be friends. I don't want her to leave my life.

Niall: "Clare, please stop crying. I know it's hard. But, please stop crying."

Clare: "Niall, it's just that I love you so much. It's hard to get over you. I don't want this to end. You know, we can try fixing our relationship together."

Niall: "Clare, you don't understand. I don't want to fix this relationship. I just don't want you to be my girlfriend anymore. I just want to be friends with you. Do you get it?" I said, almost yelling. It's so hard on both of us, and I want her to leave. I can't hold these stupid tears anymore.

Clare: "Fine. We're officially over now. And I don't even want to be friends with you." She said, angrily and left my room crying.

Just as she, closed the door. I fell on the bed and started crying. This was the hardest decision I've ever made, but it's for the best.

I heard my mum from downstairs talking to Clare.

Mum: "Dinner is ready. Clare, please stay for a while and have dinner with us."

Mum: "C-Clare? Why are you crying? Did Niall say anything to you? Niall!" She called me, but I didn't answer. I don't want to see Clare crying because of me or want Clare to see me crying.

Clare: "It's ok, Maura. We just broke up. I am going to go home. I'll have dinner next time maybe."

After that, she left the house. But, not only the house my life too. Now, I feel bad. Maybe, it wasn't a good decision. I fell to my bed and cried. I didn't know when I fell asleep. My mum didn't disturb me after all, Clare told her about our breakup. Good thing she let me have my space.

(Flashback Over)

Just as I was thinking this, a hostess snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up to face her.

Hostess: "Sir, we're about to take off. Please wear your seatbelts."

Niall: "Oh. Okay"

I wore my seatbelt, and after 1 minute, the plane started to take off. When we finally got in the air. I pulled out my earplugs and started listening to Justin Bieber. After a while, I fell asleep.

A/N: Hey Guys! So, here is my new fanfic. I loved writing my previous one and while I was listening to This Town, an idea popped up in my mind, and I decided to make a fanfic.
