"Getting- a - wha.. What?" I stuttered.

"A tattoo," Niall said a little less confidently this time.

"Why would you do that!?"

"I want one. And Harry knows this guy who does tattoos for like almost no money! I thought you'd be excited,"

This idea is crazy. I know I should be happy for him but it's just... Not him? I feel like I'm the responsible one who has to keep him in order. Just imagining his body inked and ruined. Suddenly my mind drifted towards his body when he's old and inked. I cringe at the thought.

"What would you get?" I ask almost afraid of his answer.

"Um, I honestly don't know. I haven't thought it through. Probably something religious," he shrugged.

"Please don't do this," I sighed.

"If it means that much to you, I guess I won't," he said a little disappointed.

"Thanks," I said.

"In fact, I'll call Harry right now and tell him I'm not coming!" He said a little proud of himself for making the right decision. As he dialled Harry's number I heard it start to ring.

"What's up?" Harry says through the phone. I don't want to seem too snoopy. But his volume is pretty high.

"Hey, I'm Harry I'm not going to come over tonight..."

"Why not?" His voice low and slow, like always.

"I'll explain later, ok?"

"Fine. Bye," he says before hanging up.

"Okay, lets go," I simply say while smiling at Niall to lighten the mood.

"What are you going to do about your car?" The curiosity starts to take over me again.

"I told my mum before we left, she probably fixed it,"

"Yeah, your right. Well that's good," I smile to reassure him it will be good for tomorrow.

When we walk up to his door step I tell him goodbye an kiss him. He kisses back as usual and smiles at me before shutting the door.

"Mum! Dad! I'm home!" I yell to them as I unlock the door. I walked down the familiar hallways that leads to the stairs. Almost halfway up the stairs I hear my parents talking almost in a hushed yell.

"What do we do? Do we tell her?"

"I don't think we should, Niall may not trust us, and that can ruin her relationship with him!" My mum whispers and yells. My dad holds the bridge of his nose like he's frustrated.

"Suzanne, listen, I know we have been great friends with the Horan family for years. You know that they've been fighting and having family issues. How were we suppose to know they were going to divorce at such an unexpected time?" My dad explains.

Wait... What? Niall didn't tell me his family has been having issues. At least his mom fixed his car. But I can't believe his parents are divorcing, I've known them for so long! Niall and I used to be best friends since we were eight. Around the age of 16 he asked me to be his girlfriend. We are now 17, turning 18 this year. Our anniversary is coming up. I'll make sure to comfort Niall. I don't know what it's like to have divorcing parents, but it must be hard.

Maybe that's why he wanted to get a tattoo. Some kids change like that when things bad happen like this. Especially behavior wise. Before I know it I'm scrolling through my contacts for his name. The phone rings for awhile but then I hear him pick up.

"Hey babe," he says.

"Hey, um, I'm not mad I'm just sad... I mean I feel bad... For you. I might have over heard my parents talking, saying that your parents are getting a divorce. Is that true?"

It's silent for a while before he responds. I can hear him sigh through the phone.

"Yeah. Listen, I was going to tell you but I just didn't have the heart to do it," he says. I can hear his voice shaking and I can almost feel his throat tightening. Probably because mine was too.

"No. Baby, don't cry!" I comfort him. I start to hear him quietly sob.

"Baby, no. It's ok! Don't cry! I'm here for you!"

"It's just so hard living with this!" He manages to say.

"I know Niall, I know,"
