Time After Time

Chapter 7:

We exited the theater, everyone chatting away as we walked to our respective cars.

"Who is going in what car?" Niall asked. I shrugged. 

"I'll go with Ivy and Niall because I live closer to them." Margo said. Zayn looked sad, but I don't know if she noticed. Margo then hugged Zayn, saying goodbye. "See you tomorrow, everyone!" She yelled, walking over to Niall and I as Zayn, Harry, Liam, and Danielle got into Zayn's car. 

"Hellooooo." She said happily as we all climbed into Niall's car.

"Hey, Margo. How's it going? I feel like I haven't talked to you much." Niall said, looking at Margo in the rearview mirror as he started the car. I turned on the radio and heard Catch My Breath playing. Margo sighed.

"I'm fantastic." She said, smiling lightly.  "Did you guys like the movie?" Niall and I nodded. "I loved the part when Hulk took Loki and was all like 'puny human' and then jumped out of the start tower or whatever." Margo said as Niall drove back towards town. Niall laughed and I smiled.

"That was so great." Niall said. "I liked the part when Thor was talking to Loki and then Iron man swooped in and Loki was like 'I'm waiting'. I laughed so hard!" That happened? Wow, I didn't pay any attention.

"What was your favorite part?" Margo asked me. Shit. 

"Um, I really liked it all. I don't have a favortie part really." I told her, staring out the window. It was quiet, my response obviously not leading to further conversation.

"Margo, you live on Shade Street right?" Niall asked as we crossed the boarder into town. 

"Indeed. 42." Margo said. Niall nodded and started down the roads towards her house. There was a comfortable silence that filled the car. Niall eventually pulled into her driveway as Fifteen came on.

"Oh, wow, great timeing, Niall. I hate her." Margo said, climbing out the car door and standing beside my window, which I rolled down for her. "Have a goodnight you two!" Margo said, leaning in and kissing my cheek. 

"Bye!" Niall and I shouted to her as she ran up her front steps. Niall started to pull out of her driveway as I rolled up the window.

"Alright, spit it out." Niall said. I looked at him, confused.

"Spit what out?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes.

"Something is obviously up. I've never seen you be that quiet around Margo." Niall explained. I shook my head.

"I'm just thinking." I told him, lamely. He scoffed.

"Oh, yeah? About what?" He asked. Shit.

"Um, what I want for my birthday." I lied. He smiled.

"Uh huh, and that is?" He pressed.

"I-I dunno, that's why I was thinking about it." I retorted. He laughed.

"You are a seriously terrible liar, Vy." Niall told me, turning onto my street. I sighed.

"Yeah, well." I mumbled.

"Will you just tell me?" He asked, driving down my street. I shook my head.

"It's nothing, Ni. Don't worry."

"Bullshit." He told me turning into my driveway. I rolled my eyes and was about to reach for the door handle when he looked the car. "You aren't leaving until you explain." He said. I shook my head as he turned the car off.

"Ni, I swear. I'm fine. But I'm tired and we have school. Can I get out, please?" I asked, trying to be polite, but I was slightly annoyed. He wanted me to tell him about something that completely revolved around him and would embarass me AND make me lose a friend. More than one actually.
