Eventually, we were leaving the hospital to go back to her house...

We went out into the hallway, leaving her mom's room, and a male nurse hurried over to us. Melody immediately smiled when she seen him.

"Austin!" She gasped and hugged him. He lifted her off the ground as he hugged her. 

"Hi, baby! How are you?" He asked as he set her down and looked into her eyes

"I've been good! I missed you!" She tells him

He nods and moves a bit of hair behind her ear. "I've been off these past few days.. I'm sorry"

"It's okay, I get it... still missed you, though" 

He smiles and hugs her again. 

"How's your ma?" He asks

"She's doing better. Was really excited to see Niall again... Oh, shit! Niall" Oh, so now she remembers me? Great.

"This is Niall." She motions to me

The guy, Austin, nods to me then holds his hand out for me to shake

I glare and take it, giving him a bone crushing squeeze before letting go.

He winces and tucks his hand back into his pocket, giving me a hurt and confused look before Melody starts talking to him again.

"Anyways-" She goes on... forgetting about me again completely

They talk for 5 minutes with me just standing, waiting, watching...

I finally sigh and look around, just wanting to focus on anything but them...

another 3 minutes pass and he gives her a hug goodbye. 

I grumpily walk a bit ahead, getting through the push doors first and stepping to the car park first, and I can hear her panting as she tries to keep up with my fast footsteps.


He called her babe.

She was so excited to see him.

She missed him.

She stood there, forgetting all about me, just talking to him like he was the only damn thing on this planet.

As if I'm nothing to her

I want to be something to her!

I want so badly to love her

I want her to want me


"Niall!" Her voice breaks me out of my thoughts and I plant my feet, stopping myself immediately

"Niall, why are you walking so damn fast?!" She pants as she catches up

I don't respond. I keep walking when she's next to me, this time only staying about a pace ahead of her. After another minute or two, I see her car... but I don't hear her beside me anymore.

I stop and turn. I see her standing, arms crossed, just watching me, probably 6 feet away.

"What're you doing?" I ask, completely serious

She sticks her hand in her pocket and pulls out the car keys.

I stare at them then at her.

She crosses her arms once more.

What does she want me to do? She's got the keys! What the fuck?

"What is your problem?" She asks

Oh hell no. I can't tell her, and I've got no time to make up a lie.

I start walking slowly over to her.

"Let me have the keys. Let's go through the drive through at McDonald's and grab a drink. Let's go home." I try to persuade her, but she holds the keys behind her back when I get 3ft from her.

"No. We're not leaving this car park until I know why you've got an attitude." She says sternly

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

this is why I love her

she has to know everything

she takes charge

she's confident


and she doesn't love me back


"Just... please, please let me have the keys." I beg


Finally, she tosses the keys to me. I catch them one handed and turn, wanting to go to the car, but she doesn't move.

"Melody" I groan

"I'll walk." She says

"You won't." I say as I toss the keys back. She catches them and looks at them in her palm for a moment.

"I... look, I don't know what I did to piss you off... but you're obviously pissed off. And I'm sorry. And you've just gotten back, and I want you just to tell me what I possibly did in the last 10 minutes that made you so -ugh" She tossed the keys on the ground and turned her back to me. Her hands rose to her face, and I sighed through my nose.

"I'm not pissed, okay? I just want to go home" I tell her

"Home? Where's that, Niall? Because I don't want you at my house tonight if you're going to continue to lie to me" she says, still with her back to me and her hands on her face, making her vice slightly muffled

She pushes her hair out of the way and crosses her arms over her stomach.

"I'm not lying... just..." I sigh, knowing this is no use.

"Just, what?" She asks, getting mad again

I don't respond and she shouts, "Just what Niall?!"
