The New Kid

Ch.14 Together

Chapter 14

"What do you mean we can't be together?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

"It's Liz. She told me.." He said looking down.

"I stood up for us. How could you not? I thought you liked me. I love you Niall. I don't think I could go a day without your beautiful face, adorable smile and wonderful Irish accent. It would tear me apart. But if you don't feel the same I guess it won't work." I started crying. My face was wet from the tears and I saw tears falling down his face too.

Niall looked up.

"You love me?" He said quietly.

"I do." I felt my cheeks get red and a smile formed on my lips. I wiped always the tears and sighed.

He turned around and ran upstairs.

"Em..." Liam said grabbing my shoulder.

"No." I said moving to avoid his grip. I walked to the couch and sat down. Liam, Harry, and Nick crowded around me. I heard the door open and looked up. I wanted it to be Niall. It wasn't.

"What's going on with Niall?" Natalie asked looking very concerned.

"A woman from management found out about us being here and she saw Niall kiss Emily. She flipped and then found Harry and I. Then she started saying that she would kick us out of the band if Niall was with Emily." Liam said, eyes getting teary.

"That's horrible." Natalie said looking at me. Then she saw Nick.

"You. Where have you been?!" She yelled, .going at him.

"He's been helping us!" Louis yelled at Natalie as he grabbed her arm.

"Whatever." She looked seriously pissed!

"I can't believe this bitch would do this. You two are so cute together and so happy together." She said sitting next to me. She wrapped her arm around my shoulder and rubbed my back.

"Where's this bitch? Nobody makes my best friend cry. No. I'm gunna beat this bitch. Nobody messes witchu." She said standing back up.

"Relax Nat!" Harry said.

"No! You may not care about this but I do. Emily deserves to be happy!"

"I do care about this. I care about her and I care about Niall!"

"Then you should help me with this." She said pointing upstairs.

"Fine. Let's go." He said slowly.

They both headed upstairs as I sat on the couch still crying. Liam sat next to me and looked as upset as I was.

"I'm sorry about all this." He said putting his head in his hands. Nick kneeled down in front of me and put his hands on my knees.

"It's ok Em. It will all work out." He reassured me.

*** NIALLS POV ***

I went upstairs to try and find Liz and tell her how I really felt about all this. If Emily said she loved me then I loved her too. She was perfect for me and not even Liz can deny that.

I walked by the pool but couldn't find her anywhere. Maybe she left? Just then I looked inside and saw her talking to Chase. What could he have anything to do with this? I sighed and walked up to the door. I pulled it open and walked to them.

"Niall. We already talked about this. You can't be with her. I don't care how much you argue." I pushed Chase out of the way and looked her in the eyes.

"I love her. I can't go a day without her. I will be with her and if I'm out of the band that's fine with me. I don't care. I can't go anymore minutes without seeing her smile." I said confidently. She looked at me surprised. I stood up to her. I felt like I was going to cry but I held it in.

"Niall, management will not be happy about this." Liz said quietly.

"Tough shit." I yelled.

"I'll talk to management about this but you will have to look like you're dating your new girlfriend we hired a few days ago. No matter what this..." She paused, forgetting Em's name.

"Emily!" I yelled.

"Emily... thinks. She can't stop you from doing what's right. Don't take her out in public. Don't do anything where the paparazzi will see you." She said before leaving the room.

"But..." I tried to say but couldn't. "What are we supposed to do together?" I whispered.

"Sucks for you." Chase said and laughed.

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up." I said not looking at him.

"Make me Horan. If I was banging Emily at least I'd be able to take her out."

This pissed me off. He does NOT talk about her like that. I looked at his smug face. He looked so happy about what he said. I was ready to smack that smirk right off his face, but didn't. He wasn't worth my time. I turned and walked away.

"Wow Horan. What a whimp." Chase said from behind me. I walked back to the basement. I can't stand that guy.

*** EMILY'S POV ***

The door opened again. My sleeves were soaked in tears and spotted with mascara. Nick was still sitting by me. Everyone looked over to who was walking down the stairs. That's when I saw him.

"Emily." Niall whispered.

"Niall." I said standing up.

"I love you."
