*Niall's POV*
I sat at the island in my kitchen. Occasionally I would take a swig from my beer.
I messed up. I messed up bad. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
*flashback*
"What the hell Niall? You promised you'd be back in time to celebrate Valentine's day! What happened to you having a dinner planned!?"
"W-what are you talking about?" I slurred.
"You! You fucking promised you would stop going out with the guys for just this on fucking night! I waited all afternoon and night for you! it's now 2 fucking am and you barge in through that door piss drunk" She yelled
"I didn't promise shit to you! You shouldn't care whether I go out and drink with the guys or not!" I snapped.
"Oh I shouldn't? Niall I just care about your health! I love you! Maybe that's why I care so much! But I guess you wouldn't know what love is since the only thing that's ever come close to being your love is your stupid pints!" She hissed.
"YOU KNOW WHAT!? YEAH! YOU'RE RIGHT! I DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS! WHY? BECAUSE I NEVER LOVED YOU! GUESS WHAT SYDNEY? YOU WERE JUST A GOOD FUCK!" I yelled.
Her jaw dropped.
"W-what?" She whispered.
"You heard me."
"Fine. If that's the way you want it Niall. I'll just leave."
*end of flashback*
She wasn't lying. She left. She left and never came back.
Clearly she's been doing better than me.
I heard she met a new guy about three month after we broke up.
She's engaged.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her, but could he ever make her as happy as I could?
Could he make her laugh like I did.
Fuck her like i did?
I smirked at that.
Over all, could he love her like i did?
"Shit Niall. You fucked up bad, mate." I said to myself.
"I know. And worst of all, I know I can't win her back." I whispered.
I looked at the beer in my hand.
"All your fucking fault!" I snapped.
I threw the bottle against the island.
"Fuck!" I yelled.
I slid down the island counter and brought my knees up to my chest.
I wept silently.
I don't know for how long I stayed like that.
Seconds? Minutes? Hours?
I came back to reality when I heard a familiar, angelic voice.
"Hello?" Came the voice.
"I-in here." I croaked.
I heard the soft patter of feet and heels.
"Where?"
Said the voice
"K-kitchen." I stuttered
I heard a gasp.
"Niall?" I heard her say.
I looked up and came in contact with those eyes that i knew all too well.
"Sydney?" I croaked.
"Niall! Lord! What's happened to you?" She asked.
Worry clearly written all over her beautiful face.
"Nothing."
She sighed and grabbed my arms.
"Get up." She whispered.
My body automatically complied.
I sighed and say on the chair by the island.
"Talk to me Niall." She pleaded.
"What's there to talk about? You left me. My life became hell. You moved on. You're gonna be getting married. I wish ya'll the best." I sniffled.
I heard her laugh.
"What?" I spat.
"Married? Oh Niall James Horan! What crack have you been smoking?" She asked.
"Apparently the wrong one."
She went serious.
"Kidding." I said.
She smiled.
I smiled too. The first genuine smile in over a year!
"Ni? I'm not even engaged! Luke and I broke it off about 2 months after we dated! He's engaged to someone else."
"What? Why? He was a great guy!" I said.
"Yes but I told him I didn't think it would work out. I told him it was because I was still deeply in love with someone else. And I was pregnant." She muttered.
"He got you pregnant and left?" I shouted.
She bit her lip and shook her head.
"Hang on." She smiled.
She left and a few seconds reappeared with a beautiful baby girl.
"Niall? Meet Natalie. Natalie Horan." She whispered.
My jaw drooped.
I pointed at myself and mouthed 'me'?"
She nodded.
Natalie? Meet daddy." She whispered to the beautiful baby in her arms.
She handed Natalie to me.
"Hey Natalie." I whispered.
My vision became blurry.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I whispered.
"You changed your number. I lost contact with you and when ever I reached out to the boys, they would tell me you didn't want anything to do with me." She said
"Sydney. I've regretted what I told you a year ago every day of my life! None of it was true! I loved you! Er, well I still do." I admitted.
"I-I do too, Niall." She whispered back.
"can i have you back, Princess?" I asked.
"Under one condition?"
"Anything!" I blurted.
"Minimize your drinking?" She asked.
"I'll quit it completely!" I said.
She smiled.
I opened my arms out and pulled her in.
Reunited with my family.
"I love you Sydney" I whispered against her hair.
"I love you too, Niall." She whispered before kissing my lips.
