You're still the one (Niall Horan fanfiction)

chapter 2

It was the most quiet car ride I had ever experience with the boys… Normally they are singing and dancing, laughing and making fun of one another but this car ride was the complete opposite. The radio wasn’t on. No one spoke. The only noise that was made was the one time Niall sneezed and Liam whispered ‘Bless You.’ I stayed quiet the whole time, trying not to think about that night and my feelings for Niall. How could he have done this to me? I know he was drunk, but how could he honestly treat someone like that? Have sex with them and then leave them? Not to mention go and tell all his mates, calling me a slut...’ Those words brought tears to my eyes and I tried my hardest not to begin crying but I couldn’t help it, I finally let my tears come crashing down and I sat there silently sobbing. The car ride was about 20-30 minutes because Louis’ house was on the other side of London to where my apartment was. The crying didn’t really help the fact I had a cut on my head so I ended up with a huge head ache as well, which made time go even slower.

We finally turned up a long driveway that was completed with huge trees on both sides and a huge water fountain in the middle as the drive was split into two going around it. Eventually came to a stop but I was too busy looking at the rain on the window to notice. It wasn’t until Liam’s car door slammed shut that I snapped back into reality. I unclipped my seatbelt and slowly opened to car door noticing that Liam was already walking towards the house. I noticed that Niall was still sitting stiffly in the car and I hesitated stopping and talking to him but I didn’t bother. I reached over the other side of the backseat and grabbed my handbag and stepped out the car. When I slammed the door shut, Liam turned around to see who got out the car. I tried my best to smile at him and he returned the smile, but it slowly faded when he saw that Niall was still sitting stubbornly in the car. I looked at the ground and took two steps towards Luke but hesitated again, wondering whether I probably should talk to Niall. What was it about that boy that made me go completely weak in the knees? I shrugged it off and went to talk another step towards Liam but yet again my feet didn't wanna work properly and I stumbled again.

   Get yourself together Jamie, shit. I thought to myself as supported myself on the bonnet of the car. I attempted to take another step but I soon felt myself crashing towards the ground. Just before I hit the ground I felt two strong hands on my hips followed by two solid arms supporting me. I blinked quickly about 5 times to focus them. When they did focused and I saw Niall standing above me, holding me about half a meter from the ground. He had obviously seen my struggling to walk and jumped out the car to catch me. Uh, of course, my hero… He was staring right into my eyes, just like he had been that night on the beach. We were staring into one another’s eyes for what felt like forever but I didn’t even care. It felt so right. His eyes were glistening like diamonds, his hair was messy and he cheeks were a perfect shade of rosy red. I could feel him doing small circles on the side of my hips with his thumbs that instantly made my mouth turn into a half smile. His eyes flicked down towards my mouth and nervously I bit my lip. He licked his and slowly I felt myself being drawn closer towards him. But I froze. I hesitated. The moment was there and I completely rejected it. I opened my mouth to speak but that’s when I heard a massive shriek coming from the direction of the house. “JAMIE!” someone called out at me. This broke the moment with Niall and to be honest I was kind of glad. I turn my head away from Niall, looking down the driveway doing and awkward cough. He loosened his grip on me and his eyes fall towards the ground. I did a 180 spin, now facing the house. Only to see a tall boy with a mop of brown curly hair and green sparkly eyes standing about 20 meters away.

“HAARRRY!” I begin to squeal with joy. I turn back for a second to face Niall whose arms had now dropped off me completely and he wouldn’t make eye contact. I decided I would talk to him later about what almost just happened, before I got up and began making a quick dart towards Harry. When I was about a meter away I jumped and he caught me, wrapping my legs around him. He started laughing and cuddled me tightly.
