He Can't Remember

Chapter 15

I ran after Niall, seeing his hair in the crowd of people.

"Niall!" He continued to walk away, speeding up a bit,

What the hell had I just done? I knew he liked me! But, I didn't like him back. Did I? And I thought he was at the signing. Why am I so confused by this. We're not dating. I saw him go out the front door, not ever paying attention to me.

I speed up trying to catch him when a bunch of doctors were rushing a man to the ER. They finally passed by and I rushed out. I lost him. Idiot! I sat sat sitting on a bench along the wall of the hospital looking at the crowd of people walking along the sidewalk, the cars that drove by I got up, realizing he isn't coming back, scanning the area once more.

My eyes stop on a black truck that looked very similar to the one Paul drives. I slowly walked closer and realized it was. I ran over to the truck, looking through the window. I couldn't see anyone however, because Paul got the windows tinted enough so the fans couldn't see the boys. I gently tugged at the passenger door handle to \find it unlocked.

I pull it open the rest of the way, seeing Louis and Niall. Louis had his arm around him, comforting him. Niall's head was down so I couldn't see his face. Louis looked up when I opened the door. He shifted Niall a bit, the blond looked up. His eyes were a bit red . He looked at me a minute pausing than reaching for the door handle, like he was gonna leave. Louis tugged his arm back and shook his head. Louis got out looking at Niall to keep him sitting there.

"Where is everyone?" I ask not wanting to look at Niall.

"The first thing you ask is where is everyone. Not how Niall is? He's broken by the way." Louis said crossing his arms.

"Why would I ask something like that when I can clearly see for myself" I say gesturing to Niall who was staring at his hands sniffling.

Louis sighs" Zayn and Harry went to find you and Paul to go see Liam"

"Harry and Zayn are terrible finders. I was sitting on the bench. How much did he tell you?"

"All he said was she kissed him and broke down.. Niall, stay where you are." Niall was trying to open the door and managed to crack it open before Louis caught him. He shut the door again, glaring at Louis. He looked at me and quickly looked away.

Louis sighs and shuts the door. Staring at me full on. " What happened exactly?"

" Me and Liam were sitting on the bed and he started to sing moments without my help... We started dancing and got caught up in the moment and he kissed me." I say a bit fast.

Louis sighed looking down" I should be happy but at the moment Niall's breaking down." He looks up at me." You need to talk to him"

"About what? I don't even know why he's freaking out" I lied. Louis misses it.

"He should probably tell you himself." Louis says opening the door. Niall had managed to move himself to the back seat. and was sitting moving his head against the window. Better than escaping I guess.

I look back at Louis not really wanting to talk to him but he nods his head towards the boys and I sigh, climbing in, sitting in the seat in front of him. Louis shuts the door and somehow manages to lock the door.

Even though Louis can't see me, he knows I can see him and mouths "Please talk to him" and he walks away toward the hospital. I turn back to Niall. He is staring out the window, closing his eyes even though I can see a few tears fall down. Goodness.. Why did he have to be so... Just the way he is. I climb over the seat and sit down on the opposite seat. Niall stiffens a little.

"Niall?"

"I don't want to talk."

"Ya... I know. But I need to know something."

He shifts so his face is facing the window completely.

"Niall. Why did you leave?"

"Why would I ruin a moment between you and your boyfriend." He says coldly.

"He's not my boyfriend... And I mean why did you freak out about a kiss?"

He sits quietly, not moving.

"Niall?"

" The problem with this entire thing is I fell hard for someone I knew wouldn't feel the same." He said shifting so he's looking at me. His eyes are still red and dried tears are on his cheeks." Why would I ever think I could compete with Harry? And now with Liam. I have no chance."

"Niall.... What do you mean?" Though I already knew what he was talking about.

"I'm talking about the fact Katalina that I think I'm in love with you. But I have no chance with Harry and Liam. There you happy to hear that?" He turns back toward the window, becoming quiet again.

It's the second time I heard him say this but this is the first time I heard him to say it to my face and not behind his back when he thought I was gone. What am I suppose to do? What am I suppose to say? I don't think I have feelings for him. Or Liam. And not Harry.

"Niall... Look. " I say sitting next to him. I set my hand under his chin so that he is facing me. He continues to look down at the floor." Niall.. I don't have feelings for Liam. At least I don't think I do. We were caught up int he moment. He had remembered the lyrics to a song and we just got lost."

Niall finally looked up at me. "Your not in love with him?"

"No I don't think I am. But, I' not sure if about you." And his heart fell again and looked away from me back at the window.

"Niall. I'm sorry."

"No. It's alright. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up again. Just go.. Please?"

"But, Niall"

"No I think it just be better f you left." His voice turned cold again and he shifted so not part of him was touching me. I sigh and touch his shoulder gently but he jerked away., I feel a tear fall down my cheek and get up climbing over the seat and opening the door. Climbing out I look back at Niall. He continued to look out the window.

"Im sorry Niall" I say closing the door gently. I walk back to the bench and see Louis sitting there.

"What are you doing here?" I say trying to keep my tears from falling. Louis looks up.

"I wanted to see how to worked out. Doesn't seem it went well."

I shake my head sitting next to him" It started going well.. And than i ruined it. He told me he loved me. Well, he thinks he loves me.I broke his heart Louis. What am I suppose to do?"

"I'm not sure. But you have to think of something. Niall doesn't take things like this well. " I put my head in hands. I look up at Louis after a minute.

"We should better check on Liam." I say getting up. Louis continued to sit.

"I'm gonna stay with Nialler. He needs it more than Liam" He said finally getting up. I nod my head and walk inside wiping my eyes as Louis walks toward the truck,
