Letting Go {A Niall Horan Fan Fiction}

Chapter 3

Niall's POV

Harry and I lead the new girl Zellia to a local hamburger shack.

"I hope you like burgers!" I excitedly told her.

"I love them!" She expressed Harry held the door open as we walked inside the small hole in the wall we knew so well.

"Hey Max! This is Zellia, our new neighbor" Harry introduced.

We had come here so often that we knew the owners and workers by name and came every Thursday night. It was always the same meal.

"A pleasure to meet you" Max said so graciously taking her hand and kissing the top. I couldn't help the twang of jealousy roll through me. I knew she didn't feel for me like that so I tried to hide my obvious jealousy.

"And the same to you" replied Zellia

"American? You're the first one I've met"

"Really?" Max lead us to our usual seats in the back and brought us our drinks.

"What kind of music do you listen to?" I asked Zellia

"Mostly alternative, I listen to pop every once in a while but I find my place in alternative. It just speaks to me, does that make sense?" She laughed.

"Yea of course it does" Harry answered "what artists?"

"That's a hard one let me name off my top ten? That's hard enough as it is. One is 'Hey Rosetta', two 'Civil Wars', three 'Birdy'. Four 'Ed Sheeran, he's a musical genius, five 'Modest Mouse', six 'Gabrielle Aplin', seven ohhh this is getting hard. Seven, 'Lulu and the Lampshades', eight 'She and Him', nine 'The Smiths' and ten 'Cake'."

"Yea, I don't think either of us have heard any of them." I replied

"They are my life"

Our conversation carried on and I just found myself starring into her beautiful hazel eyes. She looked absolutely dazzling.

After we finished our food Harry pointed out of she loves food almost as much as I do. That put a grin on everyone's face. We walked up the street back to Zellia's apartment to watch a movie and enjoy a nice big bowl of ice cream. Harry took over the whole red coach leaving Zellia and I on the large bean bag. Coming back with three bowls of ice cream Zellia sat next to me cris-cross-apple-sauce. I dished in finding it full of three different flavors, Oreo, Peppermint, and Cake Batter? Zel put in a movie she chose. After the previews ended and the movie began I recognized it as 'The Vow'. Hearing the door open we all three turn around ready to pounce on the intruder.

Looking to see who it was a very pretty girl with short red hair, who looked a lot like Scarlett Johansson with her hair and everything.

"Hello I'm Jenna..." She said slowly

"Hey! I'm Zelena your roomate!" Zellia jumped up and said

"Yea, I was supposed to get back in town in a few days, but my parents left on a trip so I thought I would come back to the city earlier." She explained

"I'm Niall" I introduced myself first giving her a hug as Harry came up behind me

"Hello! I'm Harry"

"Hello Harry, I'm Jenna"

Jenna set her things down and took a spot on the coach with Harry as we continued to watch the movie. A big bowl of popcorn was placed in everyone's hands chewing as silently as possible. We were all getting sleepy so Harry and I thought it best if we headed back to our flat for the night.

"Goodbye girls" we said walking out giving a hug to them both.

"Don't make any plans for tomorrow!" I told Zellia and turned around to catch up with Harry.

As soon as we heard the door shut behind us we both started going on about how beautiful and fit those two girls were.

Zellia's POV

"Soooo how did you end up meeting one direction and scoring a date with Niall tomorrow!?" Jenna squealed when the door closed.

"Well, first of all it's not a date, Niall found out that my birthday is tomorrow," and after clearing up that mess I started telling her about my day from beginning to end.

We stayed up late talking about anything you could imagine, boys, home, and even music. When we both went our rooms I went upstairs to my room, in the 'attic' but it was really quite big. While Jenna took off to her room just down the hall from the living area. Slowly drifting off to dream land I fell asleep and woke up in my dream.

"No!" I screamed His body fell as I rushed forward tears streaming down my face.

Holding his body, blood in my hands. The thief got away and so did David...
