More Than This (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12

Thalia's POV

"I'm in love ... I am in love with ... someone else."

I felt like my heart literally fell down to my stomach as soon as I heard that statement escaped from Niall's lips. Fuck, it hurts. I stood still in front of him and acted like it doesn't hurt but when I could feel the tears forming at the corner of my eyes, I said goodbye to Niall.

I didn't even look back at him when I shut the door.

I ran to my room, stepped into the shower and took a bath.

And here I am right now, leaning by the window, crying.

"Why?! Why can't we be more than this? Why can't Niall and I be more than best friends?" I silently scream, angry and blaming somebody but myself.

I look outside, still crying, and I saw the light from Niall's room switched off which makes me cry even more for no exact reason. I clutch my heart, I feel my chest tightens and I began to cough. I think my asthma is attacking me. Shit.

"Mom!" I cough.

*****

"What have you done? What happened why did your visitor attack you again?" My mom asks me as soon as she walk me to my bed and help me lay down on it. By the way, the visitor she means is my asthma. That's how she calls it. I keep quiet and just smile at her. "You've been crying, are you?"

"I'm tired. I want to sleep now." That's all I could and wanted to say and she nods and walks away from my bed and walks out of my room.

"Are you still going to school tomorrow night?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Then she switches the lights off.

*****

The next morning, which is today, I feel better as I wake up until I remember what happened to me last night. I don't know but the next thing I remember is that I am walking across the street to the Horan's. I knock on the door and Greg opens it with a smile.

"Good morning, sleepyhead."

"Hi, Greg."

Greg let me sit to a bar stool in the kitchen. He's making pancakes. "Coffee? Hot chocolate?" He offers but I shake my head. "And oh, if you're looking for the idiot, he went to school early."

Oh! I almost forgot that today is our school's 56th birthday and there will be a celebration happening tonight.

"Oh?" I utter.

"Yep." Greg slides a plate of pancake in front of me.

"Thanks."

"He's being busy with your school's remaining extra-curricular activities for he told me just this morning that he will going to miss school because he will get through the X Factor audition and win it." Niall's brother chuckles and slightly shakes his head by Niall's confidence. "Take note that he was very confident when he told me about it."

"Well, I believe in him. And we can't blame him for being too confident and excited because his biggest and wildest dream is about to happen." I smile.

"I know. I'm already proud of him."

"Me too."

"Aren't you joining or something for the program tonight?"

"Hah, no!" I laugh.

"Good." Greg laughs and walks out and go to somewhere. "Brb."

Later, my phone beeps and I thought it's a message from Niall. But, no. It's from

Marc.

Hi!

Hi.

Are you coming with Niall to school tonight?

I don't know.

Okay? Just let me know then.

Sure.

Okay! x

-

"Greg?!" I stand up and call out for Greg.

"Yes?" I heard his voice from somewhere.

"I'm going back now! Thanks for feeding me!" I laugh a little.

"Okay!"

While crossing the streets, I try to call Niall but he's not picking it up. I feel so hurt, he never done this before to me. It hurts.

I texted Marc.

I'll be alone tonight.

Let's be alone tonight then. x

Lol, what?! :D

Never mind! XD Pick you up at 6:30. See you soonest! xx
