A/N: Hey guys, I don't really know a casual way to mention this so... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! This chapter is weirdly sad for my birthday but I really like it! It's also a little short cuz I've been busy but I really wanted to give you guys something for my birthday so here ya go! I hope you like it!

"Gemma it was magical and amazing! He's amazing!" I say, grinning. Gemma and I are sitting with Gemma on my bedroom floor in my PJs.

"Wow," she says.

"Wow what?" I ask, confused.

"Wow, you're turning into Larry," she chuckles.

"Shut up!" I say, hitting her with a pillow and making her laugh.

"It's true!" she says through a laugh. "Seriously though you really like him huh?" she says.

"Yeah, I really really do," I say a huge smile on my face.

On Monday morning, when I'm just about ready to head out the door to go to school there's a knock on the door. When I open the door I'm met with my favorite bright smile and blue eyes.

"Niall! What are you doing here?" I ask, grinning.

"I thought I would give you a ride to school! If... that's ok?" he says.

"Yeah, that would be great! Thanks so much," I say and go to grab my backpack.

He drives me to school, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding mine. When we get to a traffic light he kisses the top of my hand lightly making me giggle. I'm just so happy all the way to school.

We are walking to class hand in hand laughing at some joke he made when as per usual we bump into Liam.

"Oh hey lovers," he says with a smirk, and I roll my eyes.

"You're just jealous because of how utterly single you are," I tease and Niall laughs.

"Ouch that hurt," he says, putting his hand over his heart. "Anyways, how was your weekend?" he asks.

"Really really good," Niall says turning and making eye contact with me.

"Okay..." Liam says, looking back and forth between us. "Well I gotta get to class," he says rushing off to class.

When we get to my classroom Niall kisses me quickly but passionately, just enough to make me want more of his touch, and then he turns and walks toward his class leaving me blushing, butterflies fluttering in my stomach like crazy.

"Hey! Niall Horan come back and kiss me right now!" I call after him but he just throws me a smirk over his shoulder. "I'll get you back for this!!" I call as he rounds the corner, grinning.

"You look happy," Gemma smirks at me as I sit down.

"That's because I am," I grin at her.

"Wow, I have to handle two pairs of love birds in my friend group now don't I?" she says and I just roll my eyes.

Niall and I get to our lunch table and sit down, Niall's arm around my shoulders. Louis and Harry are giggling and whispering to each other. Niall places a kiss on the top of my head and I rest my head on his shoulder with a smile.

"You know you guys make the rest of us feel very single right?" Zayn says looking between Harry and Louis and me and Niall.

"That's not our problem," I say rolling my eyes.

"How was your date?" Harry asks.

"Great," Niall and I say in unison. We make eye contact for a second and then laugh.

"Woww, you two are in sync," Liam chuckles.

Niall laughs but then he makes eye contact with a pretty girl with black hair and piercing blue eyes that I've never seen before and he looks like he's seen a ghost.

"I- uh I gotta go," he says, getting up and rushing out of the cafeteria.

"What's wrong?" I ask, worriedly.

"Katelynn's back," Harry says, looking worriedly toward the girl with black hair who I'm guessing is Katelynn.

"Who's Katelynn?" I ask.

"His ex," Liam sighs.

"Oh," I say and without another word, I practically run out of the cafeteria to go find Niall.

I find him pacing in the hall, running a hand through his hair, his eyes welling up with tears.

"I'm sorry," he says when he sees me, his voice shaky.

"Don't be sorry," I whisper pulling him into a hug.

"I- I just didn't know she was gonna be here," he says, as I rub his back.

"I know," I say hopefully comfortingly.

"I thought I was over her," he sobs, making my heart hurt.

"You were. But heartbreak is a tricky thing. It comes in waves and it sucks and it hits when you least expect it," I say.

"I'm sorry you shouldn't have to deal with this," he says pulling away from the hug with tears running down his face.

"Hey! No, I'm here for you no matter what," I say.

"But, you shouldn't have to-"

"I don't have to. I want to," I say cupping his face in my hands.

"You're the best you know that," he says, with a sad smile.

"I try," I say.

I then kiss him softly and hug him for as long as he needs. I care about him so much it hurts me to see him hurt like this.
