I'm Yours, Be Mine.

Chapter 5

Niall's POV

"Hey Ashley do you mind having pizza f- oh I see you've met Greg, my older brother. Why are you staring at each other like that?"

"How's Tahlia? Is she okay?" Who's Tahlia?

"Oh um. She died."

"She what?! NO! SHE CAN'T BE!"

Greg ran up the stairs. What the fuck.

"You know each other?"

Ashley nodded. Not saying anything

"How? And why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know he was your brother" She sqeaked "He dated my sister, Tahlia."

Wow

"Oh. My. God."

"I've been saying the same thing over and over in my head for the past couple of minutes."

"Greg said he was dating a girl named Tahlia, but we never got to meet her because she moved to New York. Oh my God."

"Niall honey? What pizza do you and your friend want?"

That's my mum.

"What pizza do you want?" I asked. Not looking at her. I am just so fucking confused.

"Oh um... Hawaiian please."

"Hawaiian please mom"

It was silent for a while.

"I'm sorry Niall, I shouldn't have come. I've just made everything so awkward."

"Hey it's ok. None of us could have predicted it."

It was silent again.

I just want to go for a walk to clear my head.

"Want to go for a walk?" I blurted out

"Sure."

We walked in silence, watching the sunset.

I got my ticket for the long way round

Two bottles of whisky for the way

And I sure would like some sweet company

and I'm leaving tomorrow what do you say

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me by my hair you're gonna miss me everywhere oh

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Where's that coming from?

"Uh I better take this hang on a sec." oh her phone

"Hello?"

"Ashley, we need to talk. You have to come home right now, it's very important."

Ashley walked back over.

"Hey Niall? I'm really sorry but I have to go home. Mum said we needed to talk and it was very important."

"Oh. Okay well I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah bye!" She said and ran off

I walked home, ran into my room and collapsed on my bed.

I heard a knock on the door.

"Niall honey dinner's ready. Are you and your friend coming down?"

"No."

"Oh okay. Want me to bring you two some slices?"
