Weeks went by, Niall never said anything about that night; he never spoke to me often any more any ways. More and more people were stressing about graduation and the ball. My dress was hanging up at home, a light blue one, long and flowey. Rachel was still going with her date, sadly. Getting to school one day Niall was not there.
"Rachel, were is Niall?"
Rolling her eyes she replied shortly
"He is trying out for X-Factor in the UK. He will not be back for the ball, I knew you were going to ask. But he will be back for graduation."
A deep throbbing pain exploded inside my stomach, tears were threatening to come out. Instead I managed to choke out an "OK"
**************************************
School was even more slower. Secretly I missed seeing Niall between classes. Finally the last bell rang. Heading straight to my car I pulled out my cell phone.
Me: Congrats! Heard you were going to X-Factor, Good Luck!!
Niall: thanks! There are some really nice people!
Me: good! Will you back for graduation?
Niall: yes! But I will have to be back in the UK so I will miss the ball
Me: ok.....
Niall: I must go now, good bye Alex.
That was the last I heard from Niall Horan.
