One (Niall Horan FanFiction)

Chapter 7: Rumors

Niall Horan

The game is over with a final score of 2-1. And I missed some action in it. Fuck.

Now what am I going to do? It's our day off and I have nothing to do. I absolutely have no plans for this day except to watch Derby.

I turned the tv off because of my disappointment. I looked around the house. I am used to always being alone here but today it feels different, it feels empty, like there's something missing here.

Nah, Nialler, you're stomach is the one that is empty. You're just hungry that's why you are saying things like that.

I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. I found some left over pizza and heated it. While waiting for it, my sight fell on dining table. I remember the breakfast I had this morning with Maggie.

I can't help but feel more lonely now. I realized that it is more fun if I am not eating alone. I have everything I want, but how come I don't have someone with me now?

The phone rings and I was brought back to my senses. The ring of my telephone is one of the things on earth that I rarely hear. It's because of the existence of smartphones nowadays and the fact that I don't always stay here in my own house.

I went back to the living room to pick it up.

"Ello--"

"Hey you Irish boy explain yourself!" he cuts me off. "Who's this girl that you took home last night?" Liam said hastily over the next line. It took me some seconds before getting what he said.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"It's all over the news and social media now. Someone saw you at Funky Buddha last night drinking with a girl, and they even saw you brought her to your car! Did you take her home? Who is she?"

Fuck. Rumors again. When will these paps get tired of dealing with my life?

"Maggie. I just met her last night there at pub. She's so drunk that I can't left her all alone there so I decided to take her home."

"Is she still there?" he asked.

"No. She already left an hour ago."

"What have you done Niall!" I can hear him screaming right into my ears. I put the phone a few inches away from my face. "Everybody is buzzing about it now! Date someone in public? No big deal, but take her home? They will make everything out of it!"

"I know!" I exclaimed back at him."I'm sorry, I'm acting stupid again. Next time I saw someone who needs help, I'll ignore them cause those fucking paps might do another rumor about me again."

"I'm sorry mate, I didn't meant that. I really don't know what happened but I think everyone is losing their shit now. You know what I mean." He said the last sentence like he's giving me a warning.

"No shit." I cuss to myself out loud.

"Yeah, this is really a big shit! Do you know her? I mean, her work or where she lives? People are really into her now."

"Uhm. No. She just told me her name."

"Good. Pray for her that she won't be troubled by media because of this mess." He said sarcastically. "Look, Nialler, you need to fix this as soon as possible. I am worried about you, you already know how things work here, right? And about that girl that this may be hard for her. Enjoy the day. Bye." Then the phone hangs up.

Okay. So another rumor to deal with again huh? What a lame world. People really want to make something out of everything.

I turned the tv on and switched channels to find something to make me cheer up. A comedy tv series maybe.

"And we have a hot issue going around social media right now. Someone spotted One Direction's Niall Horan in Funky Buddha last night drinking with a girl. Oh my gosh, has Niall already found himself a girlfriend?  The source also said that he saw Niall bring the girl in his car! Uh huh, so that's the thing. Well, must say Niall is getting a bit of careful now because the lucky bitch is a non showbiz person. Anyway let us not jump into conclusions yet and let Niall explain himself. Let's see if he's going to deny it again or be honest this time."

And there goes the paparazzi precious work of art. Photos of me and Maggie last night.

Whoa. Cool. No pressure at all. What would I deny if there's really nothing between me and Maggie? I just met her yesterday, what I did was out of kindness only. They want me to be honest, fine, I'll tell them the whole story, even the part where she ranted about her ex boyfriend.

I grab my phone and went to my twitter account.

#NiallHasAGirlfriend is now trending worldwide.

Okay, I know my fans are now freaking out about this thing and I need to clarify things now.

I typed the most honest explanation I can give to the whole world.

Rumors ! I met that girl last night and I only helped her out coz shes drunk. Can't leave her alone so I took her to my car

Seriously, who am I kidding. I know that people will never buy that.

But I need to.

Tweet sent!

Now lets see what will be the response of my fans.

Aww Niall thats so sweet of you, she's lucky you helped her

Now that's a true gentleman

Life goals: Get drunk and helped get home by Niall Horan

You're an angel baby, you're so sweet

Then you took her home and fucked her.

And blah blah blah. I know they might not believe me this time but I already said what is true. I don't care if they will hate me for denying things again, but I need to do this, to get her away from this whole showbiz thing.

My attention to my twitter account was disturbed when I smell something that looks like being burned.

My precious pizza! Bloody hell, why I forgot about that!
