If I'm Louder - Niall Horan Fanfic

Chapter 6 - What About The Ice Cream?

When I'm ready I leave the safety of my room and scamper down the hall in case Zayn pops up. I'm wearing a pair of dark, rippled skinny jeans with a gray scarf hanging over my half-sleeve, colorful 'Don't be trashy, recycle' shirt and my favorite pair of TOMS. Dark blue.

As I enter the room I find Niall in a gray hoodie and jeans with a pair of gray vans, Safaa on his back dressed in a little chocolate brown sweater and skinny jeans with a pair of Uggs. I smirk as I watch Safaa touch his hair. He laughs and tells her to stop. "C'mon. I want to explore!" I whine and they look at me.

"YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!" Safaa says and Niall nods blushing. I roll my eyes.

"But you're prettier than me!"

"Nu uh!"

"Hell yes!"

She and Niall burst into giggles. She attempts to touch his hair again and he groans.

"STAPH!" he whines and she slides off his back.

"You know in some places, thats considered pedophile." I sing as we walk out the front door.

"How?"

"You act like you're her boyfriend." I smirk. He blushes.

"Eh... shes quite cute... a bit young for my standards but... I fancy someone else."

"Who?!" I squeal. He blushes and smiles sheepishly.

"You probably don't know her."

"Do you think I care? Tell me about her or... IF it is a her." I joke and he glares at me.

"Its a girl." He says rolling his eyes. "Well she's funny and sweet... she's really pretty, beautiful actually. She has the funnest personality. She is very enthusiastic. She loves music... she's been through a lot... she loves food and she means good though it's so chaotic in the end." He licks his lips, "She has the most beautiful accent. The way her eyes sparkle... it just makes them so much more prettier. She is younger than me. She is really smart but she doesn't always show it. She probably doesn't fancy me though."

"Oh c'mon Niall. You need more self confidence. I'm sure she loves you a lot. She's very lucky." I say despite the small shock of jealousy that flows through me. But why?

"Yeah... but I doubt she even notices me half the time. She'd probably just fall for Harry. Like the rest of course."

"Well incase that happens you'll always have me. I'll pick you up when you're down." I pat his back. He smirks at me.

"Are you quoting Drake and Josh?"

"Maybe." I grin innocently making him chuckle.

"Niall!" Safaa squeals.

"Yes love?"

"Let's take Katie over there!" She points to a big Toys R Us.

"Hell yeah! C'mon." I shout making people stare. I drag Niall in by the arm while Safaa is pushing his back.

"I can walk!" He complains.

"Not fast enough!" I whine. As soon as we step inside I stop on my heels.

"This. Is. Awesome!" I breathe. Thousands of toys as far the eyes can see.

"I'll pay for everything." Niall tells me.

"You kinda have to, I don't have any money. Lets face it I don't have shit!" I say scoping the area out. "To be honest, all I have is $1.15."
