Rumor Has It (HIATUS)

Chapter 23

-Lauren's POV-

"So, what now," I asked. We were sitting on Niall's couch in his basement the next morning, having a lazy day. We were both in t-shirts and sweatpants, watching Doctor Who on Netflix, while sharing a big tub of ice cream.

"Well I've got a week to say my goodbyes and pack." 

I frowned at the word 'goodbye', and leaned on his shoulder.

"I don't want you to leave." I said dejectedly.

"I don't want to leave either, trust me, but this has been my dream forever and it's finally happening!" he said sounding excited, but sad at the same time.

"I know, and I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks babe."

Now was the time to come clean about what's been bothering me this whole time.

"Niall?" I whispered.

He scooted closer to me, and nuzzled his nose into my neck, which sent chills up my spine. "Hmm?"

"Promise me you won't ever forget about me. Yanno, when you're all famous and stuff...don't forget about me." I whispered.

"What?! How could I ever-" he began, but I cut him off.

"Just promise me...please." I looked down. 

He grabbed my hand with one hand, and tilted my chin up so that I was looking into his deep blue eyes, and so that he was looking into my hazel ones. "Lo, I could never forget about you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. How could I forget about the love of my life? I love you Lauren Michelle Miller."

"I love you too, Niall.'

We kissed, but it was interrupted by my alarm. I have to be at work at 12:45. It was now 11:45.

"I have to go now babe. I love you, bye!" I gave him a quick peck. I started to leave, only to realize that Niall was holding onto my leg. 

"Don't go! Please! Just skip for one day!" he begged.

"I have to! Plus, you have to get ready for your family dinner thing."

He pouted. "Fine, but don't forget we're spending all day together tomorrow." He replied, emphasizing the 'all'.

"I won't forget. Peace out pudgy!" I said, laughing.

"Hey!" he said, laughing along. He tried to chase me, but I was already out the door and in my car.

I drove home, and found a note on the counter when I got there.

'Hey sweetie! I'm going to be home late tonight. Dan and I are going out for our anniversary. There is dinner in the fridge, but if you don't want that, I left some money for pizza. Love you!

xxMom.'

I sighed. It seemed like all my mom had time for nowadays was Dan. She claims she wants to spend more time with me, but never does. Our time always gets cut short because Dan always wants to do something with her.

Whatever, I thought. I'm happy for her, I really am. Besides, she hasn't been in love like this since...

Since my dad.

I gulped, trying to hold back the tears and ran into my room.

I took a shower. When I was done, I dressed into my black collared Starbucks shirt, and attached my name tag. I threw on some jeans, and pulled my hair into a ponytail.

I had a few minutes to spare, so I decided to tidy up a bit. When I was done, I decided to send my mom a really sweet text telling her how much I love her, hoping that she'd reply.

She didn't.

I grabbed my jacket and headed out the door. I turned on the radio on and Fly me to the moon was playing. This was one of Niall's favorite songs! I found myself smiling and enjoying it.

When I got to a red light, I texted him and told him it was on, and told him that I missed him.

He texted back within seconds saying:

'I miss you too, hun (: 

When I looked at the time, I only had 2 minutes left. I quickly jumped out of my car, locking it and ran into the building.

I bumped into someone.

"Sorry." We both said at the same time.

I looked up to see a gorgeous guy, with amazing chocolate curls, and the most beautiful green eyes.
