46- The Truth and Some Texts

Jun 8, 2012

"I love you."

My heart stopped. I felt it. Three words, 8 letters, 10 characters. Three simple words that can have so much meaning. That can change a person's life when said. Words that everyone takes for granted and sometimes forget the meaning to. I know the meaning more than ever. I felt it once, it hit me hard and I loved it. Then it got taken away from me and flaunted in my face.

Don't fall for it. He'll only hurt you again. But what if he doesn't?
What about Harry? I like him more.

I pushed myself back away from Niall's grasp. Letting this entire thing sink in. I tried to talk. Nothing would come out. I looked into his eyes. They seemed hurt, his facial expression that of a kicked puppy.

"I believe you." I choked out in a faint whisper.

"What?"

"I believe you Niall."

"You do?" He took a step closer to me.

"Yes and I-" I couldn’t say it back. Not yet. I have to do one thing first. I need to know what he thinks of something, what his reaction would be before I accept my own feelings.

"You okay love?" That word. It makes my heart flutter when said from his lips.

"Niall, I haven't been truthful with you or anyone. I have been lying to the world."

"Livy what is it? It's probably not that bad. Tell me." I gulped.

I had noticed he intertwined our hands together. I liked that feeling.

"Niall, the baby's yours." I looked away from him to my now oh-so-interesting slippers. And then to the stars imagining me in that hurtles world.

"I should have told you when I found out. It's just that we had just broken up and the whole management thing and then Demi-I'm so sorry please forgive me. I understand though if you hate me, and never want to talk to me again. I mean I wouldn't want to talk to me ever aga-"

I was rambling. I knew that. But Niall, he shut me up. How? Plain and simple. He kissed me. I haven't done so in two months. I didn't reject it either. I really can't explain the kiss. It's just so perfect. I craved the feel of his lips with mine. The taste of them was perfect and the way he held me, made me feel loved. My arms were around his neck as his wrapped around my waist like a hug. I missed kissing him. It's always indescribable.

"Niall what was that for?"

"Mainly to shut you up so I could tell you that I don’t hate you. I'm excited! A baby! My baby! Our baby! We're going to be parents!"

We had let go of each other, I could see the joy oozing out of him. Then he just stopped being giddy and turned to me.

"Livy, you have been taking prenatal meds right? Eating healthy exercising and nothing to harm the fetus right? No alcohol, smoking strenuous things?"

I smiled at his concern. "Yes Niall, Harry has been keeping me safe.”  That’s when my face dropped. Harry…

"Niall I have to go. Harry will get worried and I don't want him coming up here. He never usually does but if he doesn't find you with Demi then-" He kissed me.

"You're rambling again." I gave him one last kiss before I grabbed my blanket and went back to our shared room. Harry was in the shower from what I could hear. So I changed into some pajamas, turned on the TV and laid on the bed. I felt my phone buzz again and saw that Niall had texted me. I smiled and replied.
