My Sister's Boyfriend (A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Getting Closer (Ch 7)

One week left. The days were going by fast and then he would be gone. Well maybe not completely, but almost. They would start off in London, so that wasn't so bad. Him being in the U.K. is almost bearable. Of course as the tour got closer, so did Jess. She tried to spend every minute she had with him. I didn't really mind 'cause he still made time for me. Who am I kidding!?! Of course I minded! He was my best friend. I'd like to say things got better for me with dealing with their relationship, but I can't. I mean, come on, who can get over heartbreak in two weeks. I didn't realize how much time I had spent with Harry, until it got fewer every day. I really need to make more friends, 'cause all of mine were leaving soon. And I so did not want to spend all that time with Jess. AWKWARD. I couldn't be alone with her for more then ten minutes. She didn't once talk to me about her and Harry dating, which I was thankful for. I didn't need to hear every sickening, heartbreaking moment of their lovey-dovey relationship. But neither did she apologize for dating him behind my back. It wasn't like I could forgive her anyways. I felt like my home, wasn't home anymore. It was gone, and in its stead was a suffocating hellhole. It wasn't enough that I had to hear every conversation between them. Damn thin walls! But my mother was on my back about what I was doing with my life. Not even the comfort of my room could stop that woman and her nagging. I didn't know and wasn't ready to face the void that was my future. I had no clue what I wanted to do; was it really so bad that I didn't have my life completely planned out? I felt like I was going to burst, being in that house. My only solace was when I was at Louis'. It felt more like home these past weeks then my house. I needed to get out of the house and Louis was busy. And that is how I found myself here, at Starbucks, at a table in the back, alone. I sipped on my coffee, with my headphones in my ears, drowning out the world. Why must my life be like this? What did I ever do? What is life? Oo Cookies! A hand waved in front of my face, jarring me from my thoughts. I looked up to see a grinning blond-haired Irish boy. I pulled out my ear buds and smiled, "Hi Niall."

"Hey, mind if I join you?"

I shook my head and he took a seat. "Actually, I wouldn't mind if you got me a cookie."

He chuckled. "Sure" He went to the cashier and came back with three cookies. He handed one to me as he sat down and ate the others.

"Thank you" I said sweetly.

"No problem. So what are you doing here all alone?"

"I had to get out of the house."

"Family problems?"

"You could say that." I replied, indicating I didn't want to talk about it.

"Oh." He looked down and sipped his coffee. His head shot up, eyes shinning with an idea. He grinned, "Well since I'm not doing anything and you're not doing anything, why don't we do nothing together?"

"Hmm doing nothing together...I don't know. Isn't that doing something? I really don't want do anything."

" No it will be nothing. Come on it will be fun."

I laughed, "Doing nothing?"

"You haven't done nothing till you've done nothing with me." I laughed again. It felt good to laugh. "So whatcha say?"

I sighed, "Fine"

A huge grin broke across his face. He shot up, grabbing my hand, pulling me up with him. We left the shop, leaving our coffees behind. As we walked out some random girl shot out of her seat yelling, "You forgot your coffee, litterer!"

We looked at each other before bursting into laughter as we walked out of the shop. We went everywhere, goofing off and having fun wherever we went. It turned out that doing nothing was a blast. I forgot all my troubles being with Niall. Doing nothing with Niall was the most fun I'd had in a while. When the sun started to go down, Niall finally took me home.

"You do realize we didn't do nothing?"

"Darn, I didn't think you'd notice. Smarter than I thought and prettier too."

"Hey, that's insulting."

"Insulting! I thought it was a compliment. You can't compliment anyone these days without be accused of being rude or mean." He air quoted.

I laughed and thanked him for today.

"How about tomorrow? Want to do nothing again?"

I smiled, "I'd like that."

We said goodnight and I walked into my house. I closed the door feeling happy and excited about tomorrow. I wasn't depressed and it was all because of Niall. That day was the start of a new and wonderful friendship.
