Chapter 27

Carra's POV:

It's been forever since I've seen Niall face to face, actually only about 5 months. We Skype all the time and I always have my phone in my hands texting him but it's just not the same.

'I'm always with you, no matter what.' Niall would tell me, or text me. And I always believed him, until it started getting harder and harder to sleep at night. Started getting harder and harder to focus at school. My grades have dropped in the last few months. I go through the routine but I don't understand anything, I can't keep my mind off Niall. They are suppose to be in the US next week. Close to town in about three. But that seems like such a long time.

In the spare time I have not trying to study, I spend it at the gym or going on a run. Today, I decided to do both. I ran all the way to the school instead of driving. When I got there, I grabbed a basketball and began throwing free pointers. Making most of them, I would grab the ball, dribble a few times and shoot again.

After a while, I got tired and let the ball bounce away from me. I collapsed to the floor and rested there, with my head in my hands and my elbows on my knees.

Before long, I was crying like a baby and I couldn't stop. I sat in the middle of the gym floor and cried for hours. My phone finally started going off but I left it laying on the floor as I got up and ran a few laps around the gym. Finally starting to calm down, I went over and grabbed my phone.

Niall had tried to call twice, my mom 3 times. I sent mom a quick message, telling her I was busy and didn't hear my phone go off before I texted Niall.

I started heading home when the people from the Decoration Comity started showing up. We were having our Christmas Ball in a few days and they needed to start setting up.

The school's Christmas Ball was like Prom but during the winter and actual Prom wasn't as big of a deal as other's. Both the Christmas Ball and Prom at our school would probably equal the importance of one Prom at a different school, maybe just a bit more though.

I headed home and hopped through a shower. Val texted me while I was in so I replied afterwards.

Val

So excited for the ball Friday!

Carra

Me too I replied kind of untruthfully.

Val

Tell the truth, your bummed out

Carra

Yea, I miss Niall

Val

Feel better, you are coming to the ball with me and Cam even if I have to drag you with

Carra

Ok ok, don't hassle me, I knew you would say that so I already got a dress picked out

Val

REALLY? What color?

Carra

Blue

Val

Oh, pretty, I wanna see, I'm on my way over.

Carra

Ok, see you in a few

Val showed up minutes later, with food.

"I brought ice-cream." She said as she blasted into my room.

"Cool." I said, pulling out our ice-cream spoons that I kept in my room. We ate ice-cream so much lately, it became routine. Val comes over, we eat ice cream, raid the kitchen for other snacks, cleaning the spoons in the mean time, and then stay up late.
