The Childhood Memory

Chapter Four: Niall

I'm so screwed up, how could I get to go on London? Im thinking so hard and deep that I did'nt even notice that I bumped onto someone. I accidentally dropped my bag and everything inside it. Sht. How stupid of you, Chloe? I bend down, trying to get my things until someone helped me.

"Im so sorry, Im in a hurry" His thick Irish accent flooding through my ears. I can feel the hurriness in his voice. Until I realized who it might be.

"You are a certified clumsy boy, Nialler" I chuckled, while watching him gather all my things with nervousness. Until he looked up. His blue, beautiful eyes meeting mine. I noticed he got his braces off when he smiled at me widely. Before saying a word

"Chloe!? Oh gosh Chloe, you scared the life out of me!" While handing me my brown, hand bag.

"I did'nt know you got your braces off!" I told him while I gave him a light punch on his stomach. Where I can feel his abs. Oh, why Chloe!?

"I got em off yesterday! My dentist told me I can get rid of them. But I miss it already!" He laughed. Oh, how I love it when he laughs. I am a one lucky person to hear his laugh. Okay, did I just said I love it? No, no definitely no.

"Well, are you gonna go home? I came here to get you. We can walk home."  He told me. Well, we always do this thing, ever since high school. Well, if your wondering.. Niall is my best bud since high school.

I met him when I was in freshman high school. Back in high school Niall and Sabrina were both popular, Sabrina is popular because she's a cheerleader and she's beautiful. While Niall, he's popular because he's smart I mean all his grades were always marked with A+. That's why girls are always freaking out when he walks in our school hallway. I am really different with my friends way back in high school, they are all popular and well known in our school.

. Unlike me a like stupid junk wandering the school and the classrooms. I was always bullied when I was in high school, the "in-crowd" always make fun of me like throwing my things, splattering their soda's on me and everything. These people will hurt you and hurt you until you die. Because they are weak that's why they bully.

But in college we went to different schools. He studied in London leaving me and Sabrina here. And after graduating with a degree he came back in New York. I don't know why he decided to come back here, I mean London is a wonderful place wherein you can find a wonderful job with a high salary.

He lives at the fourth block and me at the sixth block. So we both decided to go home together, and until now it's our daily routine. It's not normal when a guy walks you home, I mean people around us use to tease us, but we always don't mind it cause we are just best friends and will always be. The breeze was so cold as if like it's winter, the weather's kind of weird today. I mean it's summer but it's cold, it's really unusual. I want to talk with him but I can't think of a good topic. Talking about work is stressful, and talking about our family is painful. Niall is also a children of a broken family, his mom and dad separated when he was young. Until his mother got a new husband. But he somtimes use to tell me that he still misses his true father.

"So, what happened this earlier morning?" He asked, finally cutting off the silence

"What do you mean?" I asked. Why would he ask me? I mean, he never asked those stupid questions. But atleast I'm glad cause the silence was cut off

"What happened to you this morning? Anything new besides going to work or something?" He said, with his famous Irish accent. When we were young, and until now. I always try to imitate his accent. But he would just laugh at me and comment "Live in Ireland, love. You need more teachers for your accent"
