Mine {Niall Horan sequel to Summer Love}

Chapter 26

--Chapter Twenty Six--

"Have you talked to Niall today?" Cameron asked looking over at me. "Yeah. He called this morning, he told me to call him after the funeral." I said laying my head back on the head rest. "You should probably call him then." Cameron suggested. I sighed quietly, pulling my phone out dialing his number. "Hello?" He answered. His familiar Irish accent rang through my ears. I smiled to myself, looking out the window, "Hi Nialler." "How was the funeral babe?" Niall asked. "It was a funeral...so horrible. But I somewhat kept myself under control." I said. I heard Cameron chuckle next to me, I glared at him hitting his chest. "Ow! Geez!" He said holding his chest. I put my phone on mute, "Can you shut up? Niall doesn't like you and he prefers me to not see you!" I yelled. Cameron nodded, focusing on the road. "Hello?" Niall asked. "What, sorry my phone line went dead for a minute. I couldn't hear you." I lied. "Oh? Um...so what are you doing?" He stuttered. "On my way home from the cemetery." I said moving in my seat a little. "Okay. I'm going to call you later." He said. "Okay...." I mumbled waiting for him to say something else. When he didn't I spoke "I love you..." but there was no response. I looked at my phone screen seeing he had hung up. I stared at my phone for a minute, in shock. I figured he was just tired or something since it was pretty late in Ireland. Cameron looked over at me, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." I muttered looking out the window.

Cameron pulled up into my driveway shutting my car off. He took the keys out throwing them in my lap. I looked over at him, then climbed out of the car. "Bye" Cameron said looking at me. I walked over to him, hugging him quickly "Thanks for coming." "Anytime." He nodded, turning to walk away to his house. I sighed, walking slowly up to my house unlocking the front door. I opened my front door to see someone laying on my couch. I sighed thinking it was probably Kelsey, I walked over ripping the blanket off to see Ryan. "Ryan?!" I screamed, excitement filling me. "Hey!" He winked. He got up embracing me in a hug, "Oh my god! When did you get here?" I asked pulling away to look at him. "Like 15 minutes ago...perfect timing!" He smiled. "How did you get in my house?" I asked giving him a weird look. "You left the back door unlocked smart one. You're lucky it was me!" He said tapping my nose and walking past me. I laughed, "Have you seen Kelsey?" "Nope, sure haven't." He said. "What?! Are you guys ok?" I asked worriedly following him into the kitchen. "Yeah. But I wanted to wait for you to get home and then you call her over." He smirked. "Fine. I'll call her." I giggled. "Tell her you're sick and need her to come over. Don't sound happy!" He said. I nodded putting the phone up to my ear, "Hello?" "Kelsey...I'm really sick. I just got home and I'm puking up blood again." I mumbled. "Again?! Ugh...I'm coming." She said hanging up. "She's coming." I smiled setting my phone on the counter. "So why are you dressed up?" He asked. "My mom's funeral was today..." I murmured looking down at the ground. I looked up to see all of the color washed out of Ryan's face, "I'm sorry Payton." "It's ok I guess." I said shrugging my shoulders. Ryan walked over to me wrapping me in his arms, I rested my head on his shoulder taking a deep breath. "Well why didn't Niall come? What's wrong with him?!" He said stepping back a little. "He was just here yesterday...he left to go back home. I didn't know about the funeral until after he left." I frowned. "He's probably bummed." Ryan sighed. I nodded my head, hearing a car door shut from outside. "Go! Go hide somewhere!" I whispered pushing on his chest. He took off running down the hallway. I grabbed a water out of the fridge opening it, and sitting down at the island. I heard my front door open and Kelsey walk in. "Hey girly. You ok?" She asked setting her stuff down on my counter. "Yeah I'm a little better." I mumbled. She turned around facing her back towards me, washing her hands. I saw Ryan poke his head around the corner, I nodded telling him to come in. "Hi baby." Ryan said smiling. Kelsey froze turning around quickly, her hands were dripping with water. She covered her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes, a couple escaped running down her cheeks, "Ryan..." She whispered. Ryan walked over to her slowly grabbing her hands, he placed his hand on her cheeks leaning forward kissing her gently. She kissed him back, placing her hand on his chest. I smiled and looked away wishing Niall was here. "Payton's not sick is she..." Kelsey laughed. I turned to look at her and smiled, "Nope." Kelsey hugged Ryan quickly and stepped away to dry her hands off and cheeks. I got up going to open the fridge when I saw a sticky note stuck to the fridge, 'Doctors appointment @ 11:20 9/29' I sighed opening the fridge, I grabbed a bag of carrots and ranch dressing. I set them on the counter checking the calendar...the 29th was tomorrow. I walked over to the cabinet getting a bowl, pouring ranch dressing into it. I grabbed a carrot dipping it in, taking a bite. I glanced at the clock seeing that it was already 9:45pm. I looked over at Kelsey and Ryan laughing together. I smiled weakly looking away. "Payton we are going back to my house. Bye chicka!" Kelsey called walking out of the kitchen. "Bye." Ryan whispered in my ear poking my sides. I flinched laughing, "Bye!" He walked out of my kitchen, I heard the front door shut. It was quiet now...I rolled my eyes putting the carrots back in the fridge running up the steps into my room.
