Falling For My Teacher

12: Mistakes

Please COMMENT!!! 

I ran. I don't know for how long but I just kept running. By the time I got to my destination, I had completely frozen up. What was I even going to say? But I did it. I knocked on the door, knees wobbling as I heard footsteps. Once he opened the door, I felt myself freeze. "Ryan. What are you doing here?"

"Umm..." I but my lip nervously.

"Ryan?" He said snapping his fingers in my face. "Want to come inside?"

"No," I said standing my ground. "No. I.. I came here for a reason." His face looked both shocked and confused. "Look Niall. I like you. I really do. But I want to go out. I want to do things in public. Go to the movies, dinner. Play arcade games with people thinking the couple is cute. I want to be kissed before you leave to go home. I want to hold hands in public to show people we like each other. I want an actual relationship. And secretly dating you while fake dating Louis is hard. I can't do it."

"I understand..." His face dropped completely. "I'm.. Sorry Ryan."

"I.. I really want to be with you. I really like you. Actually love you, dare I say it, but I'm sorry." I finally looked up from the floor seeing he was on the verge of tears. I had to get out of here before I started to cry. "I'm sorry Niall."

"Ryan wait!" But I was already leaving. I skipped the last couple steps to the ones that led up to his floor. I picked up speed once again, booking it for home. But my feet weren't leading me home. They led me to the soccer stadium. Where Louis would be.

I walked into the huge stadium seeing that Louis was the only one there. He was juggling a soccer ball with his feet as he concentrated on the ball. I cleared my throat making him drop it. "Ryan."

"Hi," I said walking over towards him. I felt the tears finally coming to my eyes.

"Ryan what's wrong?" Louis dropped his ball, running over towards me. "Babe are you okay?"

"I broke up with Niall," I said hesitantly. Louis' face dropped as I said that. He pulled me into a small hug, shushing me.

"Shh Ryan," he said in a hushed tone. "It's okay. May I ask why you did it?"

"I was tired of hiding I guess," I replied. "Tired of keeping it a secret. All I wanted was a boy to treat me right. Is that to much to ask for?" I buried my head into my hands and I set my elbows on my knees. I could feel Louis rubbing small circles on my back as I weeped.

"Ryan," he said softly. "That's not the only reason. You're afraid. Afraid you will lose him. And also.. You have feelings for another." He was practically reading my mind. I lifted my head to see his quirky smile. He leaned in, placing a small kiss on my cheek. "When someone loves another person, their eyes seem to change around the thought of that person. I know you love Niall. But this other kid seems to have you wrapped around his finger. He must be someone just as special." He rubbed my back before standing up. "Run to him. Don't be an idiot." I was a little confused. Louis picked up my arm, kicking me in the butt as I stumbled. "He's not doing to be there forever Ryan."

I nodded, walking slowly out of the arena. "RUN YOU ARSE!" I smiled to myself as I picked up the pace again. This time I was aiming for my house. And I wasn't planning on stopping for anyone.

~HARRY'S POV~

I waite, and I waited, and I waited. She never came back. It's pouring rain and she probably ran off with her boyfriend. How could I have been so stupid as to think I would have a chance? She's perfect and I'm the freak kid with the messed up family and a dark side. 

All I ever really wanted was to be loved. To be wanted by someone who wasn't my mom. To be the one that people would envy. The one with the perfect relationship. But that was hard with a past like mine. 

I wanted a girl who would want me for me. And that girl had to be Ryan. The moment I laid eyes on her when she walked into school that day. The way my heart fluttered when she walked into the class room. When she sat in front of me. When she turned her head to look at me, I was taken back by her beauty. The way she didn't run when I told her about my father and what happened. The way she is always there for me. 

And now I've screwed up. Big time. 

I began to walk back to my car when I heard the faint name calling of a famine voice. I turned my head, having Ryan fling herself on me. She wrapped her arms around my neck as I, in reaction, wrapped my arms around her waist. She pulled away cupping my cheeks saying "I love you." Before smashing her lips to mine. My arms guided around her waist as she tangled her hands in my wet curls.

~RYAN'S POV~

It felt so right. Him kissing me back. Not caring if anyone was watching. It felt like it was just us two. The only two in the world.

He pulled away, breathless. "Wow." He pressed his forehead to mine, smiling wildly. My face probably mirrored his has he stood there intertwined. "What about Louis?"

"Don't you get it?" I asked. "It's you Harry." He smiled, kissing me again as he leaned himself against his car.

"So we're official?" He asked making me raise an eyebrow. "You're mine?"

"I'm yours." He smiled as I kissed him once more as he breathed the words "finally" to himself.

I had been so blind this whole time. It has always been Harry. I had been blinded by secrets and worrying about what people would think to actually realize that it was Harry. He had been standing a few feet away from me and I was to dumb to see that. 

I was falling for my best friend.
