Summer Love (Ali McGinley and One Direction)

Chapter 17: I pinky promise

Niall's P.O.V

It's been almost 5 days since the last time I saw Ali and to be honest I miss her, a lot. I miss her long brown hair, her gorgeous blue eyes, perfect smile, her laugh, her smell, and mostly I just miss her. I know I made a big mistake asking her that question but I didn't know what came over me. I fancy her more than I ever did with another bird. She's just different, but after what she did with Harry I didn't know what to say or do to her. I can't compete with Harry. He's Harry fucking Styles, those curls attract birds to his way. I was pacing around my flat for about 30 minutes before I decided to finally go to Louis and Harry's flat to see if Ali ever came around or Harry has spoke to her since that day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk up to their door and knock about 3 times till someone opens the door, but it wasn't Louis or Harry. It was Hannah.

"Hey Hannah! I haven't seen you in forever!" I said giving her a giant Horan hug.

"Nialler! What are you doing here? I missed you!" Hugging me back.

"I came to visits the boys, and am good but is Harry or Louis around?" I said walking into the flat and closing the door.

"He's upstairs, here let me go get him" she said running up the steps yelling "Louis!" Which made me laugh.

"Hey mate what's up" Louis said walking down.

"I was wondering if Ali ever came by or you seen her?" I asked

"You mean you don't know" he said to me.

"Know what" I asked confused.

"Harry's staying with Ali for 1 more week. I'm sorry mate I thought he told all of us." He said putting a hand on my shoulder.

I was mad, confused, angry, surprised, sad, hurt. I didn't know what to do but all I did is leave the flat get in my car and head towards Ali. I had no idea what I was doing or going to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock*

I started to bang on the door so many times, which for some reason it got me more mad.

"Niall?" Ali said opening the door.

I rushed past her and walked into the living room. No Harry. I went to the kitchen. No Harry.

"Niall what are you looking for?!" She yelled.

I ran upstairs and looked in her room. No Harry. I went to 4 different rooms and there was no sign of Harry. I went downstairs and looked Ali straight in her eyes, only 1 inch between us.

"Where's Harry?" I whispered hoping what Louis told me was a lie.

"What's going on out here!?"

I turned around and see Harry. Just with a towel on, half naked. I looked back at Ali and I can see she is about to cry but she holds it back.

"Niall it's not what you think" she said about to grab my arm while I was about to walk out.

"No Ali I get it! Okay just leave me alone!" I yelled walking and slamming the door.

I was walking to my car when I hear the door open. I didn't bother to look back I just kept walking. I finally reached my car when a hand grabbed mine.

"Niall please hear me out!" Ali pleaded.

"Ali I don't want to talk about it, not here, just go back to Harry!" I said getting my keys out of my pocket.

"Then lets go to your flat! Please Niall just hear me out." She said with a tear falling down.

I didn't say anything, I just got in the car and she went around and came with. We drove to my flat in full silence. Not one word. Not one sound. Just silence.

We arrived at my flat and we got out of the car. We walked to the front door without a peep. We went inside and sat on the sofa.

"Niall how did you know Harry was there?" She whispered

"Why was Harry there?" I asked back.

"I don't know. It's just..... When we got into that argument, afterwards Harry came over and saved my life and he comfort me, and asked if he could stay since my brother is gone, so I just said yes because I was lonely." She said looking down.

"What do you mean he saved your life? I asked confused reaching out to her hands.

She pulled her arms away and looked down to take a deep breath. She started to pull her sleeve up and I saw a wrap around her arm.

"May I" I said pointing to her wrap for I can unwrap it. She nodded. I started to unwrap it slowly and I when I finished I saw scars that were still red from the blood.

"Gosh Ali, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, this is my fault, I'm so sorry!" I said starting to cry.

Ali also started to cry. She grabbed a hold of my hands and looked me straight in my eyes.

"It's not your fault, I did this to myself, I cut myself before I met you not after I did. I didn't just start. I'm sorry that I did this to myself" she said wiping my tears.

"Please don't do it again Ali. They don't help. You think it helps but it doesn't. Why would you want more pain? And anyways scars just give you memories of what you did and what you regret doing. So just promise me that you won't hurt yourself again. Promise me. Your beautiful, your perfect and don't let anyone tell you wrong. Please just promise me." I said look in her beautiful blue eyes.

"I promise" she said wiping her tears.

"Pinky promise" I said putting my pinky finger up

She wrapped her little finger around mine.

"I pinky promise"
