(7) Tension

Niall's POV
I came home to find only Savannah on the couch.
"Uhh, Savannah?" I said confused.
"Yeah Niall?" She answered looking back at me.
"Where's Ava at?"
She stood up and started walking up towards the door.
"She went to go sit up on the roof. Could you tell her I said bye? I have to go, Dylan's locked out of the house...again." She said with a giggle and sigh.
I nodded and headed up to the roof.
Ava's POV
The roof was the place I always came to think, and boy was there a lot on my mind.
'Am I going crazy?'
'Should I tell Niall?'
'Should I tell anyone?'
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the creaking of the window. Without looking I already knew who it was and my suspicions were confirmed when I heard his cute Irish accent say
"Hi love."
I turned around and said to him
"Hey babe."
He came and sat down next to me. Wrapping his arms around me, he kissed my temple.
I know I came up here to be alone, but Niall always had a way of comforting me. I nuzzled my head into his shoulder.
The night sky looked so perfect in this moment. No clouds at all, the stars were shining and the moon looked like, what I think looks like, a toe nail.
We were both silent and I was fine with that, but Niall was giving off like a nervous vibe. I ignored it but I was still curious.
"I'd love to know what you're thinkin' about right now." Niall said looking at me.
"Nothing much." I lied. He looked at me as if he knew I was lying.
"Ava, I know something has been up with ya lately. Ya can tell me about it, I won't judge." He said sweetly.
"There is nothing wrong but if there was, you would be the first person I would tell. You know that." I said playfully shoving him but he looked somewhat disappointed.
"I just came here because I've been feeling really... out of ut lately. That's all." I told him.
"Well you're in luck. I know a great stress relief." He said suddenly cheerful.
I looked at him confused.
He continued.
"Okay, here. Close your eyes and think about your favorite moment ever. Any moment at all."
I thought for a second.
"Now what?" I asked.
"Now imagine you're reliving it. Instead of being here, you're in your favorite moment." He said calm.
"It is actually helping a little." I said opening my eyes.
"What's your favorite moment?" He said with a grin.
"The day we first met. I don't want to be corny, but that's probably my favorite day ever." I admitted and he had a huge smile on his face.
"Well to be honest, mine is probably even more corny." Niall laughed.
I rose my eyebrows.
"Well enlighten me." I smirked.
"It's actually the day when ya came back." He said in a shy tone.
I looked at him in disbelief "Really?" I asked blushing. He always found a way to make me blush, it was ridiculous.
"Really." He confirmed.
I smiled to myself and snuggled back into his shoulder.
"Eww. Since when did we become so cheesy?" I joked and he laughed.
"I think it started when we said 'I do'". He joked.
"Ava, ya know if there is ever something wrong, ya can tell me." He said kindly.
And for and instant, I considered telling him but the thought of him thinking less of me came to mind.
"Niall, you should know by now you are and will always be the first person I go to." I smiled and he returned with the fakest smile I had ever seen.
Savannah's POV
I drove up to mine and Dylan's house and saw him sitting one the front steps. I swear sometimes he forgets his keys just so I have a reason to come home.
I walked up the drive way and stood in front of him.
"Locked out again I see." I smirked and walked past him to the door. He chuckled. "You say that with your judgey voice. I can't help that I'm forgetful." He said.
I had to admit, lately there has been something different about us. Like there has been a sort of tension, not bad tension but different.
It's a good different. I think I might like it. I think I might like him.
Did I just admit it? Because once I admit it, it's real and I will have feelings for my best friend.
"So, I was thinkin, we can spend the rest of the night watching movies, eating popcorn, having a beer OR we can be losers and go to bed right now." He said and I gulped at the thought of us going to bed together but I know he didn't dare to mean it that way.
"M-movie is good." And this is one of the main reasons I don't want feelings for him. I don't want this to change our friendship. I guess that's one of the many sacrifices of catching feelings.
And they are definitely caught.
