This Town

Chapter: 7 Wish I was There with You

I woke up in the morning as the sky started getting bright. I opened my eyes and found myself in the same position. "I must have slept over here on the roof." I thought as I made my way downstairs. I went inside my room, and the scent was still there. I took out my phone to check the time, but I forgot to check when I saw 10 missed calls from Clare.

I called her back, and it didn't take much time for her to pick up. "Good morning, Clare," I said when I heard the phone beep that meant she had picked up. "Niall." she sounded crying. "Clare, Wha-Whats wrong?" I asked worriedly. "God, I hope she's fine. I don't want her to get hurt." I thought.

"Niall, I found out that my boyfriend, Nick, was cheating on me this whole time," she said and started crying again. By this moment, I had my wrist clenched. I am so angry. At this moment, I just want to punch that mother fucker and get the shit out of him. How dare he hurt, Clare.

"Where are you, Clare?" "At my home." "Please, wait for me, love. I am coming there, and stop crying for that mother fucker." I told her and hung up. I went downstairs, and while I was walking towards the door, I heard my mum. "Where are you going so early, Niall?" she asked. "Mom, Clare needs me right now. I'll be back soon." I told her. "What's wrong? Is she fine?" she said worriedly. "Nothing, mom. She's fine. She is just feeling down and wants me to be there." "Ok. Take care of yourself, love."

I got inside my car and drove to Clare's house.

I pulled up at Clare's house and rang her doorbell. The door opened after a few minutes, and there stood Clare herself. She opened the door wide open, and as she saw me, she ran up to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back. I heard her weeping in my neck. "It's ok, love," I whispered in her ear, and she pulled away. I got inside her house, and we both went to her room.

(Clare's POV)

"Babe, I am home," I said when I opened the door to my house. I saw my mum standing in the kitchen. "He's in the living room." she mouthed. I opened the door to the living room and saw Nick sitting on one of the couches with his phone in his hands. "Hey." "Hi," he said. "What brought you here?" I asked because it was out of the blue that Nick was at my home, and I didn't know about it. Whenever we hang out, or should I say 'I want to hang out.' he used to check his schedule and then confirms if he could hang out.

"I thought you were busy today." "I was. But, I wanted to spend some time with my beautiful girlfriend." "Aww. Thanks. So, what do you want to do?" I asked but got interrupted by his phone ringing. He saw the caller ID and declined. I was first confused but, I think it was just a call from his office. I waited for his answer but got interrupted again by his phone ringing. He declined the phone again, and this happened six more times. "I swear if this happens one more time, I am going to lose it. Can't the goddamn person understand that Nick doesn't want to talk right now?" The phone rang again, and at that right moment, I lost it.

"Oh, for God's sake, just pick up the phone and answer it. It's getting annoying, or just switch off your phone." "It's from my office. I guess I'll just leave," he said and started moving towards the door. "Then why the hell would you call me to get home when I was hanging out with my friend." I thought. But, the way he was acting around, getting nervous whenever the phone rang, was suspicious. "Should I just let it be or follow him?" I thought but, I'd confirm my trust in him than get blinded by his love.

He left my house, and I waited five minutes for him to leave. I had his current location on my phone and tracked his every move. I went outside and started driving towards his location that seemed to be a restaurant.

I pulled up at the place called 'Oscar's Restaurant.' I went inside only to see Nick's arms around a random girl with bright blonde hair. She had blue eyes. I was on the verge of crying, but the tears broke down when I saw both of them kissing and almost making out. "He cheated on me! He betrayed me." I thought as I wiped away my tears to act strong and confront him.

I went towards their table and stood there to get them to stop. Nick stopped, and as he saw me, he stood up and wanted to say something, but I cut him " Stop. There's nothing you can say about all of this. I saw it all happen, and-and-and It's over. We are over." I said and made my way back to the door " Clare, stop!" Nick said from behind me. I stopped and looked behind me to give false hope to him. I took a last glance at him and saw as his eyes shined. I smirked and went back to the door, ran to my car. I was crying, but I am glad I acted strong around him. I didn't want a cheater like him to see my weak part.

On my way home, I called Niall. But every time went on voicemail. "For God's sake, can you just pick up? I really need someone right now. You promised me you'd be the shoulder I could cry on. It wasn't a while ago." "Let's try one last time." I said, calling him once again, and I heard the phone " Hey! Its Niall. You can leave a voicemail, and I'll give you a call back later." "Whatever." I turned off my phone, pulled up at my house, and went inside.

I opened my bedroom door and jumped on my bed, and layed lazily as I started bawling. 

A/N: I hope you enjoyed reading part 7. It's hard for me to take out time to write and post. I am doing my best, and where I live, the class I will be in this year is considered one of the hardest. So, before I graduate from this class, I want to finish this series. So from now on, I'll update twice a week or maybe thrice. Make sure to vote, comment, and maybe follow.
