Chapter Twenty Seven

-Christine's POV-

It's been a day and I asked Niall if I could stay over Indie's. He said it was fine, me being old enough to make my own decisions.

"I'll be back to pick you up tomorrow?"

"Ok."

It had been awkward between us again. I'm trying to act normal and like nothing happened, but it's hard when you've swapped saliva with your so called friend.

"So tell me everything that happened." Indie sat opposite to me on her double, king sized bed as I sighed.

"Ok. So yesterday Niall and I..." Indie rose and expectant eyebrow as I groaned in embarrassment at how terrible it will sound. "We made out!"

Her eyes widened before a smirk took on her lips.

"Freaking finally!" She yelled throwing a small pillow at my face. "You guys a thing now?" I rolled my eyes and fell on my back.

"No! I don't know! We're supposed to be friends but this keeps happening!" Indie squealed and sat on my stomach.

"He fucking likes so! I knew he did!"

"H-he doesn't like me!"

"Oh come on!" Indie rolled her eyes, the large smile still on her face. "You and I both know that little Niall Horan has a thing for you."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes pushing her off gently and pulling my knees to my chest.

"Indie, he's Niall Horan. Why the fuck would he want me? He has a fucking child for god's sake! To some model I hear about. Whatever, I don't care." I growled as she pinched my cheek.

"Someone's a little jealous." I slapped Indie off lazily and shook my head. "And besides, people make mistakes. He has to know what he doesn't want before he knows what he does want."

"That is true." I shrugged. "But that doesn't mean this is the case!" She groaned letting her face fall into the bed in defeat.

"Fine." Indie lifted her head. "Anyway, I heard Lucas is holding a party tonight."

"Lucas Donavan?" She nodded as I chuckled. "Doesn't he always hold parties?"

"Of course! But when was the last time we've been to one?" She was right; it's been a while. "Exactly, so how about you text your little boyfriend saying to give you another night so we can party? I have spare clothes."

"Oh I know clothes aren't a problem." I laughed climbing over and sitting beside the bed, my phone in my hands as it charged against the wall.

Christine: hey :) theres a party on tonight im going to. pick me up tomorrow?

"Did you text him?"

"Just then." I smiled as she clapped her hands running to the wardobe to grab out our outfits no doubt. My phone buzzed long and loud to say I had an incoming call from Niall. "Hello?"

"Hey. Just got your text." He didn't sound overjoyed, but he didn't sound to upset either. "You going out tonight?"

"Yeah, to a friends party."

"Do I know them?"

"Probably not." I scrunched my eyebrows confused. "Why?"

"Just wondering." He seemed off; the fuck? "Will there be alcohol?"

"Niall, it's a party. Of course there's going to be alcohol." I rolled my eyes at his stupid moment.

"Fuck..." He mumbled. "Alright, I'll be there soon."

"What?" Did my tone sound like an invitation?

"I'm going with you." He spoke with a flat tone.

"Niall, no. What about William?"

"I'm giving her to Lou tonight. She can look after him. Now don't go anywhere for about an hour."

"W-what?! Hold on-"

"See you soon." He cut me off and interrupted.

"What the fuck?"

"What happened?" Indie asked placing a dreas down beside me.

"The idiot invited himself!" Indie could only smile and wink.

"Someone's a little protective of you!"

"Oh shut it." I groaned leaning my head back. Why was he doing this?

"Indie!" We heard her father called as she finished playing with my hair.

"Coming!" She called back and stood, giving me the look to stay here. With a nod, I watched as she disappeared out of her room as I took my phone into my hold.

I was all glammed up for tonight. Hair and make-up was done along with this dress Indie made me wear. I'm not a big fan of dresses but I am known to wear them time to time. I hope I don't look fat in it.

"Christine!" I looked up to see a side grin on Indie's face as she grabbed her phone and pulled me up. "Niall's here!" Her excited hushed tone made my eyes widen.

He actually came. Of course I knew he would but now he's really here.

"W-what?" Was all I managed to hear come out my mouth before being pulled downstairs. "Indie!" I hissed but it was too late.

We were mere meters away from the front door where we saw Indie's dad and Niall outside. Indie had to freaking giggle catching their attention.

The father was the first, giving an approving look over her long sleeved jacket that she would more than likely take off when out of sight.

Though when my eyes met Niall's, they were just purely wide. His eyes raking over my dress I wore.

"Shit." I saw him muttered to himself as I tire my gaze away.

"Be good ok? Don't get pregnant. Don't have sex. No drinking. No drugs and back by two the latest." Indie's father laid down the rules as I held back my smile.

Indie would do most those things, if not all of them. But her Dad didn't know that.

"Ok Daddy." She smiled that cute little innocent smile of hers and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you later."

"Bye sweetheart."

And we were off.
