Wrong Number [N.H.]

Chapter 21

Niall's P.O.V

I ran after her.

Out of the pub, across an intersection, into what seemed like our flat, I ran. I wasn't loosing her, not again. I'd worked too hard to get so close to her and then drop away so easily.

After a few turns, I had gotten close to her, and I used my chance and grabbed her arm.

I jerked her backwards. The sudden contact seemed to shock her, as she yelped when her whole body turned around.

When she was facing me I could see the damage I had done- fresh tears fell from her eyes, staining the hem of her dress and running down her cheeks. Her knuckles were clenched tightly, as if she was about ready to hit me, but she didn't. She hardly even moved.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. Anything I did, anything I said, I didn't mean." I murmured, looking down at her with the most sympathetic look I could give. "I love you, don't you know?"

"You're drunk, Niall." Mariah spat. "You don't mean a fucking word!"

"Even drunk I'm sane enough to know that you're the most beautiful, sweetest, funniest girl I could ever meet." I said with a slight smile, hoping that it would cheer her up, and it did. A grin lit her face and she looked down slightly.

"That's sweet, Niall," Her smile suddenly faded. "But we can't be together, you know that, right?"

I frowned. "Whatcha mean we can't be together? I love you, that's enough."

"No, Niall. You're famous, you're beautiful, everybody loves you, and there are so many other girls that mean something to this world." Mariah blinked tears away, her head still down low and her gaze settled on her feet. "I'm nothing, compared to them."

I couldn't think of much to say. What could I say? She would deny it, anyway.

The most I could do was lift her face slightly with my fore-finger and smile down at her. "But you're everything to me." I whispered.

Before I could say much more, Mariah had stood up taller and pressed her lips to mine.

The next day was amazing, besides the fact that I had a severe hangover all morning. I could hardly remember yesterday, yet I could remember Mariah running from me, and us kissing.

I sat in bed with a bright smile, going over and over those moments until I was disturbed by my phone dinging.

I switched my phone on and clicked on the text- by Liam.

Liam: Mariah is asleep on my couch ;) you want her back?

Me: uh yeah i wont share her you shit

Me: you havent done nothing to her?

Liam: Of course not! She's yours, mate!! Wouldn't do anything.

Me: ya would tell me if you did right?

Liam: Course I wouldn't tell you

Me: hey!

Liam: Just kidding, not keeping anything from you. ;) come get her

Me: comin down, dont you think about touchin her!

Liam: I won't!! Chill mate cmon

Me: headed down see you in a bit

Liam: Alright :)

"Where's my girlfriend?" Was the first thing I said when I walked into Liam's flat.

He stood up beside the couch with a small chuckle. "On the couch. You need help getting her back to your flat?"

I shook my head and walked towards the couch and glanced down at her. She was curled up in a ball, with her hands under her head and her knees touched to her chest, and honestly, I found it quite cute.

I wrapped an arm around her leg and then used the spare arm to hold her up with, and picked her up bridal style.

As I was headed out the door with Mariah I heard my name being called. I turned.

"Yeah?"

"For Mariah's sake.. Use protection."

"Hush up!"

"Hey, a cheers for the heads up?"

"Cheers, mate! Though I was already planning on using protection."

"Oh? What else you planning on doing?"

"Leave me alone!"

"Fine. Bye!"

"Bye!" I rolled my eyes and shut his door.
