Chapter 21

His arms wrapped around me as I dug my head deeper into his warm chest. His gentle fingers ran through my hair, comforting me as I fiddled with the hem of his jumper. He kissed the top of my head, tightening his arms around me. I looked up, meeting his perfect blue orbs as his lips left delicate kisses on my face. My fingers brushed softly over his cheek as he observed my actions. I rested my chin on his shoulder as I wrapped my arms around his waist. I closed my eyes, his warmth comforting me as he softly hummed, stroking my back. He slowly leant away, his hand lifting up my hand, leaving a delicate kiss to the back of it. His crystal blue orbs stared into me as I looked back in awe. He slowly leant in, his breath hitching as he left a kiss on my cheek. He left trails of kisses up my jawline, coming closer to my lips. He kissed the corner of my lips before leaning out and pressing our foreheads together.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

"Tabitha" the tired sound of Sydnee's voice groaned.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

"Tabitha" she repeated.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

"TABITHA!"

"Alright, alright, alright" I said annoyed, patting beside my pillow in search for my ringing phone. I finally grabbed it, lifting it up to my face. I clicked on the button, unlocking it, the brightness from the screen practically blinding me. I turned the alarm off and rested back onto my bed.

I slowly began to fall asleep again until I felt a pillow pelt into my face. "Wake up loser" my best friend said, a smirk on her face. Thank you Sydnee, I'm sure everyone loves to wake up to a pillow in the face. I hesitantly sat up as she unsteadily walked over to the blinds and opened them.

I looked over to our digital clock on top of the TV and groaned, "6:30?"

"Yes, we have early class today, remember? It's Thursday" Sydnee replied, grabbing her phone, to text Harry probably.

"Oh yeah" I grunted, falling onto my back again, "I hate school"

"And they thought thirteen years of schooling wasn't enough..."

"Yep, so they add three more fucking years to it..." I said, stretching out my arms.

"Well, at least we don't have lecture from 1pm to 4pm, I guess that's good"

"Eh, still hate it"

"Well, apparently we're gonna miss it when we graduate so get your ass up!" she said, whipping me with her towel.

"Ok, ok" I laughed as she walked out of the room to go brush her teeth.

I stared up at the empty white ceiling. I replayed the dream in my head, it was so weird... Why did I dream about Niall? Why were we doing what we were doing? If only it could be real... Ha, I wish.



"How was lecture?" Liam asked as he sipped on his latte.

"BORINGGGG!" Sydnee groaned as we laughed.

"Complete utter boring" I said as Niall nodded.

"You should hear the professor's voice, sounds like you're at a dead guy's funeral" he said, earning a few chuckles. I nodded in agreement as Sydnee pulled a big fake frown.

"I'm gonna order myself a tea" Louis announced, standing up. "Someone come with me?"

Harry nodded, "I wi--"

"Tabitha, come!" Louis cut the curly haired boy off. I nodded, standing up and followed him to the counter where we stood in line. I stared off into the distance as he grabbed money out of his wallet. He looked at me in confusion as I stood blankly.

"So" Louis started, "what happened?"

"What do you mean?" I played dumb, although I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"The other night" he hinted, "with Niall"

"Oh..."

"Yeah, what happened... Like I know what happened, but what's going on between you two?"

I sighed, "it's complicated"

It's really not that complicated... I love Niall but he doesn't feel the same, there, that's all there is to it.

"Tell me" he raised an eye brow.

I thought for a moment. Should I tell him? I know Louis doesn't seem like the caring kind of person because of the way he acts, but he really is. You can talk to him about anything. He's so supportive, caring, sensitive and kind. It's a part of him that he brings out when his friends are in a not so uplift mood. You can really trust him and he's a good person to talk to, he always knows how to make you feel better.

"I love Niall and it's all fucked up because he doesn't feel the same. We've had awkward encounters before like that but we never actually kissed. He would always look at me with those gorgeous eyes and it would just drive me mad. I want to kiss him, but I dunno..." I admitted.

Louis processed it for a moment, "so, how do you know he doesn't like you back?"

"I don't know, I just know" I said.

He chuckled, "you don't know Tab"

"Yeah, but it's obvious he doesn't"

"You never know"

"But, we've known each other for years, just cause my feeling changed doesn't mean his has" I sighed.

"Tab, you can't say that cause you don't know" he started, "you're a beautiful girl, he knows you are. You have an amazing bond together and I personally think he feels the same way towards you"

"If he did, then why'd he push me away?"

"Fear? Confusion? Or maybe he didn't know what was going on"

My eyes widened, "didn't know what was going on? It was pretty obvious what was going on"

"But still, it could've been fear"

"Fear of what? I'm not gonna eat him"

He laughed at my comment, "maybe there's another reason"

"Like what? Maybe that he doesn't like me back?"

"Tabitha" he rolled his eyes, "maybe he loves you but doesn't want to ruin your friendship"

"I don't want to either, but... But..."

"But what?"

"But... I just want him to be mine..."

"I know, but things take time. You can try talking to him about it"

"Oh yeah" I nodded, "just gonna walk up and be like 'hey, I love you, will you marry me?'"

He rolled his eyes jokingly with a smile, "just give it some time, but I know things will work out, I know Niall and I know how he is when he likes someone. Be patient, the best things take the longest" he said, before turning around and ordering.

Scared? Sacred of what? I'm not gonna hurt him. I love him, I really do. It's so weird, I've never felt this way towards a guy before, especially not Niall... Why did he push me away? Oh, maybe because he just doesn't like you... Ouch, that hurt...

He's continuinally acting weird and it's annoying. Where's the old Niall? I miss the Horan hugs, now it just the mate hug. I liked his hugs, he would dig his head into the crook of your neck and it would just make you melt. He hasn't been talking to me much lately either and when we do talk he's awkward about it. It's so confusing and hard... Why do I have to like him?

I just wish he was mine...
