Missing You (A Niall Horan story)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

"Hello?" I hear him say

"Lewis I got your text, come round to mine now and we'll sort this out face to face." I say

"Okay be there in ten. See ya."

-Lewis's POV-

"Hey Miley." I say as she opens the door

"Hey Lewis, come on in." she says taking my hand.

She leads me to her room and pats the spot beside her on the bed.

"What's wrong Lewis?" she asks

"I don't really know myself, I feel like you don't really like me the way I like you. See the thing is I have been trying to build up the nerve to tell you something." I explain

"What is it?" she asks concerned

"I-I love you." I say looking at the ground.

A loud silence follows. I can't read her reaction as she sits looking anywhere but me.

"Look I understand that we have only been dating for a few weeks but I really have fallen for you, you are an amazing girl and I understand if you don't feel the same." I say

She doesn't answer instead she leans in and kisses me. When we break apart she moves her lips to my ear.

"I love you too." She whispers. I let out a sigh of relief, my heart begins to beat normally again.

I grin and we continue to kiss, I am so relieved I thought she didn't like me back. But she does, she loves me back.

I leave a short time later feeling happier than I have ever felt in my life.

-Miley's POV-

I can't believe what Lewis has just told me, he loves me? Of all the things I thought he'd say this wasn't on of them, after all we've only been together for a short time and I made it clear I wanted to take things slowly. The thing that I can't believe the most is the fact that I told him I love him too. I've only ever been in love once and it wasn't with Lewis, I can't believe I've just been so stupid.

I think back to when I first met Lewis, I wasn't ready to see anyone new since breaking up with Niall yet somehow it just happened. Selfishly I wanted a distraction from the pain of losing Niall, but now it's just gotten too complicated and it's all my fault.
Feeling confused and upset I pull out my phone and ring Eleanor, the only person I could trust to tell me the truth.

"Hello?" I croak

"Miley? What's wrong, you sound upset?" Eleanor asks concerned.

"Ive fucked up big time El. Lewis told me he loves me and I told him I loved him even though I know I don't. Lewis is great and he's helped me out of my rut, I care for him but I'm still in love with Niall. I don't know what to do." I plead

"Well maybe You will start to fall for him soon? I mean you'll be seeing a lot more of Niall now that we are all friends again, maybe this is your chance to let yourself love someone new?" Eleanor suggests.

"Maybe it is, you're right El, I need to move on from Niall." I say even though I don't believe it. Maybe if I say it enough times it'll become true.

"Hey why don't you invite Lewis round to ours on Monday night to watch a film with us all, you can introduce him to everyone!" A film night, with everyone, including Niall. I could think of nothing worse.

"Um I don't know El, what about Niall? I don't want him to think I'm rubbing it in his face?"

"Don't worry Niall will see that you're finally moving on and hopefully he'll decide to try and move on too." Despite her saying the words I know she doesn't believe that either.

"Okay then I'll ask Lewis later and let you know how it goes. I don't know how I got on without you El, thank you."

"Miles you know I will always be here. Talk to you soon okay?"

I assure her she'll be the first to know what Lewis says and with that we hang up. What have I gotten myself into?
