"The blonde one"

Chapter 3

"How did you meet Amy?" He asks, his mouth full of pizza.

He look really silly, his cheeks is light pink with cheese on them.

"We've been friends since we were little, how did you meet Ryan?" I respond.

He sighs before he lean back in his chair.

"A couple of years ago I was a dick, I treated people like shit. So one night, I got into a big fight, I got hurt, and then Ryan stepped forward and defended me. We became friends. Lovely story, isn't it?" He smiles.

"Why did you treat people like that?" I ask curiously.

"I donno, I guess it started when my father was put in jail. I was so mad it him, and then all just fucked up!"
He says, sadness in his voice.

That explains a part of it. Not all, but I can understand why he was such an ass before. I don't know what I would do if my father would be out in jail. I'd probably be very sad, and embarrassed. But still, I can't imagine how it would feels like. To not have him around. To not meet him and his warm smile when I came from school. And my mother, she'd be crushed. My parents love each other very much. When I grow up, I want to have a relationship just like theirs. They met each other in high school. One year later they were married with me inside my mothers belly. And here we are, 17 yeas later, and they still love each other just as much as in high school.
They're soul mates. They would never be able to live without the other.
So, I can't imagine how it would feel, how Niall feel.

"But your better now, how to treat people?"

"Yes, I guess. Ryan teached me. He's really nice!" Niall smiles.

It's true. Ryan is one of the kindest persons I know. I'm glad he's Amy's boyfriend. They're perfect to each other.

"Yeah he's really nice. So what did bring you here, to this party I mean?" I ask. Because if he knows that he didn't treat people well on those parties, why would he be here then?

"Ryan asked me to. I donno why." He says, taking the last piece of the pizza.

"Amy asked me to, you don't think they..?" I say, not saying the whole sentence.

"Oh no, I hate them!" He yell, a smile on his lips.

Of course they tried to fix us together.? They're always complaining on how single I am, I guess they're doing the same to Niall.

"Why would they care if we're single or not?" He ask, then taking a bite from the pizza. He look ridiculous.
I can't help but laugh. He look at me and makes a silly face.

"You like food, huh? I ask him.

"Are you kidding? Food is the best thing ever!" He says, his eyes light of excitement.

"How's that?"

"Well.." He begins, his hands now behind his head. "...it's there for you when you're sad, it's there for you when you're happy. Food is like your best friend!"

Niall lets out a laugh, and it's the cutest thing I've ever heard. It's different and I love it!

"Hey, where are you from? Cause your not American, right?"

"No." He says. "I'm from Mullingar, Ireland. Is it really that obvious that I'm not from America?"

It sounds like he's a shamed of being Irish. It's so stupid, why would he be a shamed of that?

I lay my hand on his before I speak.

"Well, I heard it on your accent! It's nothing wrong with being from another country, Niall! I think it's kinda cool actually!"

"Really?" He asks with a smirk before he turns serious again.
"Thank you Nic, it means a lot!"

The way he says "Nic" with his Irish accent make the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.

"Okay stop that cheesy mess! It's okay." I say, really meaning it.

"So.." He says grabbing my hand harder.
"..wanna dance again?"

"I would love to!"

***
Pretty short and boring chapter, I know, but I haven't updated in a long time so it's better than nothing, I guess. I know it's a lot of mistakes in this chapter.. but as I said, I'm Swedish so I'm that good at English.

* So what do you think about this book so far? I'd love to hear what you think!

It'll take some time before I update again because it takes more time when it's on English instead of Swedish!

Take care❤️
