5-Breaking Promises

•Erin Krei•

He did it again. He cheated on his test with mine. He promised he wouldn't do it again, but he did. As he pleaded for my forgiveness, my eyes were directed to my hands, pretending not to listen. I was listening, though.

"Erin, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself." He said again. "I won't do it again, I promise."

I turned to him. "That's what you said the last time, Niall! You broke your promise. My trust for you, it's gone."

Niall shook his head frantically. "No, Erin, I'm sorry. I swear on my life that I won't do it again."

I rolled my eyes. "What if you break that promise, too?"

He put his hand on my forearm, as if keeping me from leaving. "I won't."

I nudged his hand off my arm. "I don't know if I can believe you." I started to walk away but Niall grabbed my wrist.

"Let me make it up to you." He pleaded, his voice cracking.

My eyes diverted from his face, tears threatening to fall. "How?"

"I'll take you on a date, a really good and romantic one." He sputtered out quickly, desperate to make me stay.

I looked around and took site of Harry coming out of the boys bathroom. Every junior had a free period after their third class, right before lunch. He gave me a concerned look, his eyes flicking between me and Niall. I gave him a light smile and a shrug. He knew what that meant. I looked back to Niall. "I don't know, Niall."

"Please, Erin. I know I hurt you, but I wanna make you feel better."

I crossed my arms in front of my chest. I heard him mutter something along the lines of, 'In more than one way.' My cheeks lit up. He wanted to...? "I'll give you one chance, Niall. If you blow it, I'm done with you. If you don't, maybe I'll let you make me feel better."

He cleared his throat, clearly taken a back by my crass comment. I smirked. Even when I was mad, I still got my dirty mind. "Yeah," He croaked. "I'll pick you up tomorrow at six."

"Okay, see you there, Niall." I turned to walk to Harry, who was resting against a stone pillar.

"You guys okay?" Harry asked, his eyebrows raising.

I nodded. "Yeah, we just had a little argument. No big deal." That was a lie. Harry didn't need to know my business. Besides, if I did tell Harry, he'd get really over protective of me. That's how he is, it doesn't bother me.

"You sure? You looked like you were about to cry. I wouldn't say that's no big deal. Erin Krei does not cry."

I cracked a smile. "No, I'm fine, I swear."

"Okay," Harry said, swinging his arm over my shoulder. "Let's go get something to eat."

We walked towards the cafeteria together, with Harry pressing light kisses to the top of my head.

•Niall Horan•

"Maybe I'll let you make me feel better."

Erin's words rang through my head. I had to figure out something to do that would let me make it up to her. What did Erin like? Hmmm. Oh, there's a thing called Facebook.

I grabbed my laptop and logged into Facebook. I clicked on Erin's profile page and looked at her likes.

Ice cream, Hey Violet, alcohol, playing the Sims 4, being Erin Krei

I know exactly what I'm going to do. I clicked out of Facebook and typed into Google, Hey Violet concert dates.

A bunch of links came up so I clicked the first one. It led me to their official site. There were dates here, on Friday, tomorrow, at eight thirty. Perfect. The tickets were eighty each, which wasn't bad for decent seats. Erin was going to love me. I kept scrolling down, there were backstage passes. Only $120 for one pass. I had $240.

I went ahead and bought the tickets along with the backstage passes, leaving me with a grand total of $400. I didn't mind, it was for Erin.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Erin's number. I was going to surprise her, but since she's a girl and since she's Erin, I'm guessing she'd need time to get ready.

"Hey, Nialler, what's up?"

"You said you like Hey Violet, right?"

"Oh, yes, more than like. Their like a lifestyle. I swear to God."

"Have you ever been to see them live?"

"It's my dream." She paused. "Niall, what did you do?"

"Looks like we're going to see Hey Violet tomorrow!"

She let out a loud shriek, making me cringe. Wow, she really did like them. I was happy, that was the reaction I wanted to hear. "Oh my gosh, thank you Niall. I don't know what to say."

"You're welcome. I'll do anything to make it up to you Erin."

She was silent for a while, then she answered. "I think I'm in love with you, Niall. I know it may be to soon, but I don't care."

My heart stopped in my chest. Did I hear her right? Did she say she was in love with me, or was I dreaming? I pinched my arm, this was a dream. Nope, it hurt. This is real. Oh, shit.

"You know what Erin, I think I fell in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you."
