Emma's POV

It was a week later. I week closer to homecoming. A week later we had been a "thing".

Today was Friday. Niall had called me up this morning telling me that he was staying home sick . I told him that if he wasn't comfortable at home, he could stay at my place. He really wasn't sure about that but i begged him too. I knew if he'd stay home he would get more hurt.

I was still having a really big problem with the whole abuse thing. I still hadn't told anybody, which Niall was pleased about, but he had to get help at somepoint. It was tearing his emotions apart. It was infuencing his life in such a negative way.

Even though today I had extra time since I wasn't picking up Niall, I drove up to the nearest coffee place and grabbed a bagel and a Mocha. The lady handed me my change and I was off. My car headed back into my neighborhood, past my house, and into Niall's driveway. I hopped out of the car and ran up to the front door. I placed the food on the front porch and ran off. I texted him

check your front door, there's a surprise ;)

I quickly backed out of the driveway with just enough time to see him standing in the doorway shirtless with a pair of red & black flannel pants. His hair shagged every which way, looking sexy as hell. He waved in the window holding his breakfast, smiling before I drove off to school.

"Hey girl!" Sarah said smiling as I waltsed into the school.

I smiled back "Heyyy"

"Where's that blonde kid? Or your boyfriend?" She said smirking. I blushed. I couldn't help it.

"He's home sick"

"Oh that's a shame, don't kiss him or you'll be dead!"

We both laughed "I can do what I please"

Both of us were silent for a couple seconds before Sarah started up the conversation again "Soo are you going to homecoming?"

"Hell yeah! Senior year I'm going."

"What I meant was are you going with him?"

I really hadn't thought about that. "Er-I don't think so.. we havn't talked much about it."

"Maybe you should ask him." She suggested.

I made a disgusted face "No. I am not doing that. I can't."

"Why not fag?"

"Pshh" I started "I just can't. I'm too shy. What if he says no? Maybe he doesn't wanna go.. Maybe his parents won't let him go. That would be terrible. But what if he's just as nerous as me? Then we'll just be stuck in a friend zone thing but its really not a friendzone thing i just said it was bec-"

"Dude." Sarah interupted.

I realized I had gotten a little to far into myself. "Sorry.." She giggled.

"You do like him a lot i know it. If you really do, just have the guts and do it. The worst thing he's gonna say is no, but that's not gonna change the way he thinks about YOU is it?"

I sighed "yeah I guess.."

"GOOD" She blurted smiling "I'm happy for you" i leaned in and gave her a big hug. Maybe I should ask him. I mean, it's not like he's gonna ask me right?

Niall's POV

After Emma left, I ran into my room and grabbed all my supplies. I threw on my shirt, some jeans, put on my glasses, fixed my hair, and I was out the door with my mocha.

I hurried to her house, making sure I had as much time as I could.

As I started up the driveway, I heard a car coming. I turned my head to see a familiar van, pulling into the driveway. Her parents were back. I was the only one here.

The garage door lifted up and I ran to the sidewalk leading up to her house, making sure I didn't get runover. My heart pounded against my chest. I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The car went into the garage and parked. The engine turned off and I heard the car doors slam shut. Heels clicked and a pair of shoes scruffed the ground as the sound got closer and closer. I looked down at the ground, afraid to look up.

"Ahem" I heard. My head tilted upward to see Emma's parents standing in front of me.

"Hello. My name is Niall. I live down there." I gesetured toward my house, finger shaking as i pointed "I am a friend of Emmas. I do not want to hurt her. I would never do that. I want to ask her a question a very special way so I come here to surprise her. I did not want to make you angry. I did not know you were coming here. I am from Ireland I just moved here. I am sorry I can leave now."

My heart race sped up with every breathe i had during that. I couldn't. I was shy. Couldnt speak. I turned and headed down the driveway

"W-wait" I heard behind me. I slowed down in my tracks, not turning around. I heard the clicking of her heals come up behind me.

"Why don't you stay. W-we can help you."

My frown turned into smile. This might work.
