One (Niall Horan FanFiction)

Chapter 5: Going Home

Niall Horan 

I am now sitting in my couch watching the replay of Derby's game that I missed last night when she came from the bathroom.

"I'm sorry, I used your soap and shampoo. Er, its kinda uncomfortable, but yeah, I have no other choice." she said as she entered.

"Which one there? The one on the white bottle or the blue one?" I asked

"The white one?"

I can't help but laugh. God, she used the body scrub for her hair. Didn't she read the label?

"Why are you laughing?" She demanded.

"You used the body scrub on your hair? Haven't ya read the label?" I said in the middle of my laughing.

"Seriously? Oh god, I'm so stupid! Ugh, now I know why its so sticky. Gross." she said as she tries to comb her hair but it keeps on strangling with each strand.

I am still laughing. I thought girls know all these bathroom stuff but it turns out that this one is still innocent about that. Well, at least based on what happened today.

"Can I ask a favor?" she interrupted in my laughing session.

"What?"

"May I use the telephone? I need to phone home, aunt Nancy, she might be worrying about me the whole night."

"Sure. Over there." I said and I pointed to the phone next to the couch.

"Thanks" she said then she smiled. She walked to the couch and sit next to the phone and me. I stared at her.

I can't help but notice how beautiful her eyes are. It's so brown and the morning sunlight that reflects it makes it more beautiful, like it is so relaxing staring at them.

"Hey, aunt Nans, it's me, Maggie" she said then she paused. "I know, I know, I'm sorry, it's just, something happened last night, and yeah, I wasn't able to go home because of that, but don't worry, I'm fine" then silence "no no no, uhm, I'm... in a friend's house, yeah, I'm in a friend's house, I slept here last night." Another silence "yes, I'm going home now, I just called to say that you don't have to worry" another longer silence. "Yes, yes, I know, I'm fine I swear. I gotta go now, see you later aunt Nans, bye!"

As she put the phone down and looked at me, I just realized that I'm staring at her for a long time now.

I diverted my eyes on the tv screen pretending that I'm watching the game. Shit, yes, I am watching the game awhile ago, and it is now 2-0 and I missed again how the opponent scored.

"Uhm, so yeah, thanks for bringing me here" she said shyly "for the breakfast and for the shower, and for the body scrub" she chuckled "and uhm, I want to apologize for the mess I made, for seeing me very drunk, I know its so disgusting, and for my puke in your car. I'm really sorry." She shook her head.

"Yeah, sure, It's fine. The casualties are not that severe though. As I said if something happened to you, my conscience will never know how to deal with it."

She smiled. I noticed again that her lips are thin, one thing that makes that smile perfect. She should always smile, she looks more beautiful in that way, even her hair is a total mess.

"Uhm, so yeah, I guess I need to say my goodbyes now." She said as she stand from the couch.

"Yeah, sure. I know. You need to go now." I said as I also stand up from the couch.  "Never do that again next time okay? I mean, you can drink your problems out but make sure you're not doing it alone okay? Sometimes we need to just talk things through with a friend." Whoa, did I just say that? Where did it came from?

She smiled again. "So you're suggesting that what I really need is a drunk friend and not a boyfriend?" she asked jokingly.

"Yeah yeah, and in that case they will never break your heart if they leave you cause you can find lots of them even in streets." I laughed at my own lame joke but then she laughed with me. Did she seriously find it funny?

"So, thanks again for everything, I really owe you a lot. Hope I can pay you back someday. Oh, bye the way, you still don't know me. Margarette Morgan, Maggie by my friends." she said as she offered her hand out for a handshake. So, Maggie.

"Nice meeting you Maggie, probably you already knew me but let me introduce myself, I'm Niall, Niall Horan." I said as I take her hand and shakes it with her.

"How sure are you that I already know you? Huh?" she said teasingly.

"I'm from One Direction."

She laughed. "No, just kidding, I know right. Well, so yeah, thats it, massive thanks, and... er, yeah, bye. See you around." then she turns to the door.

I walked with her, opening the door for her.

"Yeah, bye. Nice meeting you. And... see you around." I said unsure if we will see each other again.

"Yeah, thanks, bye."

"Are you sure you don't want an autograph?" I asked before she step out the door and she looked at me like I said the most stupid joke ever. "No, just kidding." I said scratching the back of my neck.

"Don't be offended but I'm not one of your crazy fangirls." Well that's a total burn Niall, you should know that not all girls are getting crazy with your band.

I shrugged. "Wow, that's surprising to know. Take care then, have a safe trip home."

"I will, thanks."

Then she walks down the steps, out into my front yard, and into the street. She made a glance back at me then waved, and I wave back, then smiled. A cab stopped in front of her, she get in, and the cab drive away.

And I am alone now.

Now my mind goes back to the events in my life for the past 12 hours and I keep on recalling all the happenings until I realize that I am already sitting here in my front porch smiling all by myself. I get lost with the memories until I heard a loud cheer from the inside.

Shit, the Derby game! I forgot! I missed it again this time!

I run as fast as I could towards the couch.
