Our Summer of Direction

Emilea's POV

Emilea’s POV

I send a text out to all of the girls saying that I was really pissed off and needed to talk to the girls. Then I frown and I sit in the car sulking and feel Niall’s confused gaze. He reaches his hand over and lays it caringly on mine.

“Don’t fucking touch me, you ass.” I growl smacking his hand away from mine. Niall looks at me incredibly wounded and insulted and I glare viciously at him. He withers under my stare and goes back to driving. I stare out the windshield and catch him looking at me every once in a while.

“Stop staring at me.” I snap after a few minutes. Niall sighs and looks over at me again. He sighs another heavy sigh and I try not to copy him. My heart feels just as heavy as his sighs.

“Do you want me to take you home?” He asks making sure he doesn’t look over at me again.

“Well no shit.” I snarl. As we sit in silence my anger starts to dissipate. I realize that I was probably acting irrational. I take a few deep breaths and see him pull into my neighborhood. I’m about to lean over and apologize and even give him a kiss when I see his phone light up with twitter notifications. I snatch it up before Niall can reach for it and see retweet after retweet of those two pictures with the redheaded girl. Finally my heart breaks as I read the most tweeted thing ‘Oh good, you finally got rid of that no good Emilea.’ I throw his phone at him and jump out of the car feeling the tears already. I see Niall fumble with his seatbelt and then jump out to chase after me. I crumple against the door just after I get in the house. Niall manages to squeeze in and he looks sadly down at me. He sits down beside me and opens his arms. I look at him for a few seconds before crawling over and leaning against him.

“Why don’t they like me?? Last week they were all ‘Team Niem’ and now they hate me and want you to date the redhead. Why?” I wail as he clutches me to his chest. I mewl pathetically and Niall holds me as the tears roll down my face. Niall tries to wipe them all away and eventually gives up and just rubs the pads of his thumbs against my cheeks.

“Please don’t cry over stupid girls.” Niall pleads staring imploringly into my eyes.

“Why do they hate me?” I ask again scrunching up my nose to hold back the tears.

“Because they’re jealous.” He says simply. I frown at hum and he nods seriously.

“I mean it! They’re just jealous that you’re so beautiful.”  Niall nods seriously again and then picks me up and lifts me over to my bedroom and as we pass by my window I frown sadly missing Katie more than ever.

“She will be back soon.” He says reading my mind effectively. He sets me down on my bed and lies down with me. Niall wipes the remaining tears off of my face and I think how lucky I am to have him with me. I close my eyes sleepily and smile slowly when I hear Niall start to snore.

“Goodnight sweet Leprechaun.” I trail off kissing his forehead lovingly.
