The Kissing Booth (Niall Horan FanFic)

Chapter Nine

After constant begging, Fin agreed to join the three day trip, promising that none of the guys especially Matt wouldn't know about it. Not yet anyways.

The drive was a good ten hours and we literally left right after the last bell rang. It was seven a.m on this Saturday morning as Will and Niall took turns driving.

It wasn't as awkward as I was expecting though. We belted Ed Sheeran lyrics, pigged out on drive thru's, and just had fun. We played stupid car games and talked about how we didn't want college and wanted to stay forever young before singing Forever Young.

"Wakey eggs and-" "I'm awake." Fin cut me off, turning over to face me. The boys were already out the car, taking out luggage inside. She sat up, twiddling her thumbs together.

"I'll be there in a few, just give me some time." She mumbled, staring off into space. I nodded and hopped out the car. I had imagined this moment a million of times. First they were aggressive thoughts and I wanted to punch them in there faces, but now after the news of Gaby, I rather hug them.

Niall walked me into the big Victorian home, my heart beating faster each step. "Niall! And hey, you brought a lovely girl with you." A tall, super developed black haired girl smiled as she hugged him.

"I'm Vanessa, nice to meet you!" She smiled with a hand out for me to shake. Vanessa Jacobs was dirty blonde with nasty blue dipped dyed ends, stuffed push up bras, and so much makeup it was hard to comprehend.

But this girl, her hair was so black that it almost looked blue, her freckles showed on her clear skin making her calm gray eyes pop and her boobs were fricken huge! She could easily pass for twenty five.

"Oh my-. Es-. Esme...?" She whispered with her eyebrows furrowed. I nodded as though I was being cautious as tears ran down our cheeks almost simultaneously. I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist seeing that I was a total midget to her and she returned my hug.

"Oh my god Esme, you're so gorgeous!" She exclaimed with her hands clasped on my face, wiping my tears away. "HELL NAH, GET AWAY FROM HER!" Fin's voice hollered. I laughed at my protective best friend, seeing that the fact of her hands cupping my face could be taken wrong.

"Finely, you're here too! I could tell by that spunky attitude and long blonde hair it's you." She smiled. "Wait, who the hell are you?" Fin remarked, eyeing her up and down. "Oh yes, yes, I've changed quite a lot since ninth grade. I'm no longer some weird blonde color with blue ends that might I say, looked terrible now that I think about it. But yes, I went back to my natural hair color and toned down the over dramatic makeup. Mostly because after being expelled my parents sent me to my grandparents farm in Ohio for a year and there was no malls in sight!" She laughed a little and so did I.

"That must've sucked." I said, imagining my old bully in high heels on a farm. Ha!

"Before I even go on my day I have to say that I'm so sorry. And I know that sorry wont fix anything that I did to you but know that I regret it every single day. So I'm terribly sorry to the both of you, I ruined your lives for what? Pure stupidity, that's what. I just wanted to be top dog and I know of my mistakes now." She apologized.

"You're forgiven." Fin finally smiled. "On my part, but you caused hell for my best friend that I don't think I can forgive you for even if she says you are."

"And you are. I just wish I could tell Gaby that too." I mumbled. "She would've probably gone all out with a sign, a cake and probably being your butler for the rest of your life! But follow me, you've got to here another sappy apology from someone else!" She continued smiling, leading us through the house.

We entered a bright kitchen with a screen door where it seemed everyone else were. There was a girl with chocolate brown hair swung across her face with her legs up on the chair where the baby seat was as she fed the baby.
