You Don't Understand

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen

 My alarm clock went off at 6:30 a.m. Waking up early on a Sunday morning. That's not normal for a hormonal seventeen year old girl, is it? Well, it's normal for a morning, jogging girl like me. Yup, it's finally time for a jog. Slipping on a sweater and a pair of shorts, I headed down to the kitchen. Quickly, grabbing a water bottle, I wrote a note, telling my mom where I was before leaving. Then, I was out the door.

I haven't been on much jogs, since I came to London. I was new and didn't feel comfortable to run. Lots of people hate running, sometimes because of the physical movement, sometimes waking up too early. To me, I love running morning jogs because it gives you a chance to think. Just like eating cereal and looking at the stars in the night. I love the feel of the fresh air. It's breath taking. I'm weird, I know.

I started off just watching nature. It's one of the things that isn't caked in makeup. It's one of the things that will always stay natural. Natural is its own beauty. Grass was turning green, while flowers were blooming. Animals coming out of hibernation to enjoy this lovely world.The start of spring is striking.

Then I thought of Niall. Five months. Almost six. I gave that boy five months of my whacked up life and I plan to give him more. I can't believe we lasted that long. At first, I thought it was just a game. A one-time thing. But no. He means too much to me to let an amazing guy like that go. There's no doubt that I love this boy anymore. At first, the feeling scared the crap out of me. Yet, every day I was craving for his voice, his touch, his kiss, his love. He made me feel like I was the only girl in the world. Cheesy, I know, but it's true. Every time I was around him, I felt special - wanted. Every time we kissed, I got those tingles, that made me as nervous as a sweating pig. I still couldn't believe that he was mine. Never in my life have I imagined that I would be dating the Niall Horan.

 Every day I worry that he might find someone new - someone better. Yet, he always seems to come back. And now that the big tour is coming soon, my worries only grow. I want to spend every living moment with him, but I can't. My mom has been on my case lately. Always asking where I've been or where I'm going. I was going to have to lay low if my parents would let me stay in the house alone over spring break, while they go visit my grandparents back in India. Still, Killian would still be there, but he wouldn't care. A whole week with no nagging parents, no school and time to do whatever I want.

For months Niall and I have been careful about avoiding any paparazzi. If a picture of us together gets out, then we're over, I know it. Though, I've been having a feeling that we were being watched. But, every time I turn around no one's there. Maybe, I'm just being paranoid. Thinking there was no chance that we lasted this long without anyone knowing. Yup, I'm being paranoid.

I can't say the same thing for Megan and Harry. After a couple of dates, they were official and everyone in the world knew about their love. I've never seen Megan so happy since I met her. And it has never been this clear that these two were in love. I have no clue how those two handle the paparazzi, but somehow they don't let it interrupt their everyday lives. Sure, on occasion I see the flashing lights of cameras when I'm with Megan but it doesn't bother me. I'm just a friend. No one knows who I'm dating or not. I swear, every time Megan talks about Harry, she gets this little dazed fog in her eyes. Who knew? A fan girl of One Direction to a the girlfriend of Harry Styles. They were just the cutest couple ever. Styles better not break her heart, because then he should watch his back. I can't just watch the broken Megan I found in the girl's washroom return. I would do everything in my power to avoid that. 

Niall's POV

I unlocked the door with the pair of keys Jessa left at my place the last time she was there. I haven't seen her in a week, but it feels as if a lifetime. I'm sure as not going to not see her before I leave. Peeking through the door, I checked if anyone was near. Concluding, that the coast was clear, I snuck upstairs. Being quiet was hard. The floor board would creak sometimes and others, I would walk straight into a table. They have a lot of furniture. Or I'm just really blind.

Now, which room was Jessa's room? What if I enter the wrong room? That would be bad. Just as I placed my hand on a doorknob, I heard a deep voice say in a thick Indian accent, " I'll be down in a minute!"

Shit! That must be her dad. Footsteps were coming nearer. Not thinking I threw the door open and went inside. Turns out I was in the washroom. I have really bad memory. Where the heck was her room? Hmmm, maybe it was the one on the left. Or maybe, it was the one on the right. This girl has been my girlfriend for almost six months and I don't know where her room is. I don't seem like the best boyfriend, do I? I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Any sign of aggravation in my body left as the door started creaking open, and panic surged through me. Vigorously looking around, I knew I had no choice but to jump into the shower.

I watched as a man in his late forties entered the washroom. He had graying black hair and the same brown eyes I see in Jessa. No doubt that this man was Jessa's father. This is not how I imagined, meeting my girlfriend's father for the first time: spying on him in the shower, praying that he doesn't move toward the toilet. Man, that would be gross. To my luck, he just turned on the tap. His eyes were slightly puffy, and the yawn that vibrated through the man's throat made it clear that he had just woken up. After, brushing his teeth and combing through his hair, Mr. Surtha, exited the bathroom. Sighing in relief, I waited a few minutes before trying to find her bedroom once again.

But before I could make a move, in walked the most beautiful girl I laid eyed on. The girl I fell in love with.
