The Boy From Tumblr.

chapter 6

Madison's POV

I eat 6 of my wings and wipe my mouth with my napkin after taking a sip of my drink.

In front of me I see Niall finishing up his burger.

not one bone in my body believes that this is real. nothing inside me is telling me that this can be happening to me. did I really meet Niall Horan over the Internet...? was he the boy that left me to be just another broken heart for months? a boy i never even imagined to know of my existence is having lunch with me in a small empty coffee shop.

I can't help but continue to wonder where he went, or why he left, or why he's back..

"all done?" he asks, interrupting the never ending questions I keep asking myself.

I nod with a smile "all done. it was really good."

he nodded smiling that big bright smile that could make even the darkest things in this world bright "the burger was great, I'm glad you liked it."

I smile, I can't help but smile.
he could be cursing me out but his voice and his accent make everything he says so mesmerizing.

now is your chance, ask him! where did he go? why is he back? why did he leave you without any explanation? ask him! ask him!

I close my eyes trying to rid my head of the annoying voice belonging to my subconscious.

"you alright, love?" Niall asked an I immediately open my eyes.
he looks worried...concerned.

ask him!

"w-where did you go?" I blurt out the words before having time to think about it.

he looks confused now, as he rubs the back of his neck.

"what do you mean..? I never went anywhere?" her raises an eyebrow looking at me.

I swallow hard before speaking again. "one month ago. when you stopped responding to my messages on tumblr...after I asked to meet you, and then you deleted your account....where did you go..?" I can barley make out the words when I feel my hands trembling in my lap. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to know.

Niall's face looks relieved? maybe..I can't tell.

he sighs.

oh no.

"it's kind of a long story...but you have a right to know." he sits up running his fingers through his hair.

"when I stopped responding after you had asked if we could meet it wasn't because of that. I wanted to meet you, I've always wanted to meet you, so when the opportunity came I was ready to take it. I knew that in order to meet you I would have to tell management about the tumblr account, and about you. so that's what i did. I told them. they weren't too
happy about it, they didn't support the idea. they said that if anyone found out I was faking to be someone online I could get into a lot of trouble with the public. even though I was doing it for the fans.. so they said no, they deleted the tumblr and they had me on lock down for weeks. I re-downloaded tumblr and made a new account. I was going to message you after i had followed you because all I wanted was to talk to you again but I didn't know what to say, or how to approach it. so I went through your account for a while until I found out that you lived near where our next show was gonna be. so I pulled strings, I got your number and after typing out your number then erasing it about 15 times..." he laughed a little and seemed to wonder off but continued speaking "i called you. and then I called  you again, and again, until you answered. and when you did I couldn't help but be so relieved to hear your voice. and now we're here." he smiles lightly moving his hands to his knees.
