Summer Love (a Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Summer Love - Chpt. 14

Rumors hurt. A lot.

I hate it when people spread rumors.

Niall has found someone, a girl. She's tall, thin, blonde and, guess what? Yes, it's Tara. This whole 'new relationship' is all over the internet, newspapars and magazines, and it's really killing me. But why? I shouldn't care. Niall isn't mine after all. Although, that would be nice. Just to have someone to cuddle, to call your own.

"Jessie, have you seen thi-"

"Yes." I cut Lola off. I've just arrived home from work, and I violently chuck my bag on the couch and stomp upstairs. I'm not angry.

"Are yout alright Jess-"

"Yes." I bark, walking into the bathroom and slamming the door behind me. I can feel how tense my face is, so I strip off my clothes and step into the shower and blast the hot water right into it. Just what I need. A slap in the face.

Why on earth am I so bugged about this? It's probably not true, Jessie. Just keep telling yourself that. But it is. I know it.

I step out of the shower and wrap myself in my towel. I dry and brush my hair and it looks really dark. It's reflecting how I feel.

"LOLA I WANT CHOCOLATE!" I shout down stairs, making my way to my bedroom, where I am going to get into some pyjamas.

"OK JESS!" I hear Lola shout from behind me, reffering to my need for chocolate.

I slip into Niall's stolen track pants, which I really should give back. I also get on my black bra and cheetah print tank top. I look like a hobo. Oh well.

"Babe, rocking the hobo look." Lola giggles, walking to the couch with like 10 blocks of chocolates. Caramel, dark, nutty. Basically any flavour you can think of.

"Do we like, breed chocolate or something?" I joke, plonking myself on the couch next to her. We munch on chocolate until Lola breaks the silence.

"I saw Niall and that chick Tara." Lola mumbles with her mouth full of chocolate.

"I did too." I say, feeling like one of those over dramatic American girls in movies, where if they get sad, they just eat away their worries.

"Niall should never have done that to you, when it's only been a few weeks since you guys. Well... had something." She says. She's right. But, I don't have any say in Nialls life anymore.

"I don't care." I lie.

"You're so bad at lieing Jess." Lola says, turning on the TV. My mouth drops open.

"I-I'm not lieing." I lie again, shoving chocolate into my face. Lola just laughs. I roll my eyes and watch TV, trying to get my mind off Niall. It never happens.

"I think I gained a ton in 2 hours." Lola giggles, patting her belly. Well, we did just eat like 10 whole blocks of chocolate, so I wouldn't be surprised if we did.

"Have you and Harry talked lately?" I ask Lola, changing the subject.

"Yeah we talk every day." She says. That's so sweet. Harry is so sweet. They're adorable. I feel like hugging them both, if I could.

"So when's the wedding?" I giggle. Lola rolls her eyes and shakes her head in disbelief.

"You may be 19, but you act like a 5 year old." She says. It's the truth. On the outside I look like any ordinary 19 year old girl, but on the inside, I'm a playful, silly kid who's never fully grown up.

"You used to be a kid with me Lola, but then you found love." I say. Lola nods and pouts.

"I can still be fun." Lola tells me. It's very true, Lola is one of the funnest people I know. She never let's you stop laughing. She just has one of those personalities. It's quite late at night now, but it doesn't really matter because we have no work tomorrow.
