It's A Bumpy Ride. *Niall Horan Finished*

Chapter 7

 

-Niall

“Demi, what are you doing?” I sighed as she pulled me down the stairs. I just want to stay in my room all day but she won’t let me. I know it’s been weeks since the Courtney incident but I can’t I still love her with all my heart and it hurts to know she left and won’t even let me explain. But I know if I was her and I would have saw the picture of Demi and I then I wouldn’t want an explanation either.

“Niall you know we have to do this. I’m sorry I messed up your relationship but it’s our job.” She muttered as she started getting things to make dinner with.

“I know but I just miss her. She was my life Demi, I love her and management seriously had to fuck it up for me.”  I sat down on the bar stool and watched her get out a few cans of soup.  I didn’t really mind I haven’t really been my care free self lately.  Everyone knows why too but I no one really wants to talk about it. I never really noticed until this morning that it was actually pretty close.  I woke up thinking it was just a regular weekend but I realized what was coming up this Sunday.

Sunday, June twenty third, the day that would be Courtney and I’s one year anniversary, I defiantly thought she would still be with me. I hate the thought that she’s not beside me at night. Some nights I’ll reach out to grab her and cuddle but then I’ll have to remind myself she’s not here at all.

Demi had finished the soup and was putting most of it into a bowl for me. She handed me it with a spoon. “Well I guess that I’ll see you tomorrow?” I nodded my head. She gathered up her stuff before giving me a side hug and leaving.

The chicken noodle soup kind of made me miss home. Being with my mom and having my brother around. Hanging out and playing golf with my dad. I missed it. I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed my mom’s number. While it rang I finished eating my soup.

“Niall dear?” She questioned. I sighed and answered her.

“Yeah mom it’s me.”  I could almost hear the smile on her face.

“What has you calling?” Usually when I call I have to let some air out.  I have called and told her about Courtney and I. And I did tell her that everything was fake between Demi, and how I didn’t want to break things up with Courtney.

“I’m lost mom, lost without her.”  I sighed into the phone and rested my chin on my hand.

“I know baby, she’ll come around soon and you’ll get back together. You two are basically meant for each other. Love works in mysterious ways.”

“I know mom. I just miss her.”  She sighed this time and I heard some type of rumbling on the other side.

“Baby just give it some time and she’ll be back. But I have to go. Call me again if you need some help or need to talk.”  I nodded my head and mentally slapped myself, she couldn’t see me.

“Okay mom. I’ll talk to you later. Love you.”

“Love you too honey.” I ended the call and placed my phone back into my pocket. 

Since I finished the soup I sat it in the sink and walked back upstairs and into my room. I guess the only thing I have to do now is sleep. Maybe I can sleep this weekend away.

-Courtney

I sighed as I walked into the nearest place. It was a little café’.  Phil had me get up super early and go Job searching. Not that I minded because I have to make a living.  Just wish time would move on and I wouldn’t have to be here during this weekend.

Mine and Niall’s one year anniversary would have been this Sunday and I guess everything is just harder. I miss him so bad it hurts. I’ll lie awake at night and cry because he’s not there next to me. He was my world and it got thrown away. I still talk to Louis; he’s the only one I keep in contact with. We Skype and text but we don’t meet up.  We agreed that our talks are just between us.

But back to the café’. I walked inside and was greeted with a spacious area with a few chairs and tables sitting around it. There was a guy working behind the counter. When he saw me he smiled. I gave him a half-hearted smile back.

“Hello I’m Alex. What can I do for you?” I noticed his accent was more Aussie sounding than English. His hair was swept to the side and his bluish/green eyes made his facial features pop. Sure you could say he was cute but defiantly not my type.

“Uhm are you all hiring?” I asked nervously. He looked kind of happy by my question.

“Not at making food and stuff but we need someone that can sing.” He pointed to the little space that was in the corner of the little place. I nodded my head as I turned back towards him.

“I’ll take it.” I said with a smile on my face. On the inside though I was nervous, I’ve never sang in front of anyone but the boys and my family.

As if possible Alex’s smile widened. “Great! I guess you can start tomorrow if you want too? Oh and when singing you have to dress fancy, I don’t know why the boss just tells me to tell the people so.”  His voice sounded very confident and I think he tried to make his accent seems sexy? I mentally sighed but agreed and went back to Phil’s flat.  I parked my car and went inside to find him at the table with a whole bunch of books around him. His face lifted slightly as I made my way to the table and sat beside him.

“Find anything?” He asked as he started flipping through one book. “Yeah a singing job at a coffee house.” I smiled.  He seemed happy for me but was too engrossed in his school work. I wouldn’t blame him he has this year left before he graduates. He took some classes during his first few summers’ here so he gets to graduate early.

Since he was studying I went up to my room and changed before grabbing my laptop and looking for some music to sing. New job so I guess I will need some music to sing, right? I went straight to YouTube and typed in the first song that popped into my head.

Beautiful by Christina Aguilera.

I guess you could say it’s kind of been my theme song for the past few weeks.   I practiced the song a few times before I actually got it. I still need another five songs. I looked through my playlist this time, I find a few songs that might work but I wasn’t setting on anything just yet. I wrote all of them down and when I was done I went through and found the five others I wanted.

Beautiful by Christina Aguilera.

Mistake by Demi Lovato.

Small Bump by Ed Sheeran.

Not Over You by Gavin DeGraw.  

That Should Be Me by Justin Bieber.

Unwell by Matchbox Twenty.

Yeah I guess you could say I am venting a little but I absolutely love these songs even before Niall and I broke up. It’s kind of ironic that I choose a Demi Lovato song when he’s with her but I love her music and this song really is one of my favorites by her and just because he broke up with me for her doesn’t mean I have to hate her.

I put the songs up so I could have them tomorrow for when I go into work. I changed into some comfortable clothes and went to bed. Maybe life won’t be so bad.

~2014. Is is weird that those songs are still my favorite songs to this day?~
