Chapter 6
Dacey's POV
So I decided today I won't try to completely ignore Niall, but I'm not going to go up and start a conversation either. If he wants to talk to me he can and this time I will at least listen to what he has to say with out ignoring him or making up an excuse that I have to go.
Niall hasn't tried to talk to me at all, which I guess isn't really surprising considering how I've acted towards him.
I walked in to anatomy and noticed he was already sitting at the table we shared. So I walked up beside him and took my seat, then got out my binder and pencil.
"Hey Dacey" Niall spoke softly looking up at me after I put my binder on the table.
"Hi" I said looking at him. He was clearly surprised I even responded and you could tell by the confused look that was on his face.
"Umm.." He stuttered still just staring at me. I think he froze...
"Yes.." I said trying to see if I can break him from this weird trance of confusion and surprise.
"Oh uhh.. How are you?" He barley got out.
"I'm good, what about you?" I asked casually, taking the advice from the boys that I should just talk to him or at least listen.
"Look um..I really need to talk to you.." He paused and looked around the class room "but not here"
"Okay.. Then where?"
"Do you have a 7th period?" He asked and I shook my head no. "We'll how about we meet at nandos then?" He asked obviously hoping I would say yes.
"Sure" I said and then the teacher began class. Niall smiled at me and then turned to the front to look at the teacher. A small smile formed on his lips. I wonder what he wants to talk about, and why can't he just tell me now. I guess we can't because the teacher is talking and we don't really have another class together. I guess I will just find out later when I meet him at nandos.

I pulled in to a parking spot at nandos and got out if my car. I walked in looking around the crowded place. Finally I spotted Niall's blonde hair over in the corner in a booth. So I walked over and slid in to the seat across from him. He was looking at him menu but looked up when he heard the squeaking of the seat beneath me.
"Hey" he said and a waiter walked up just then to take our orders.
"Are you ready to order now?" She said looking from Niall to me and then back to Niall. So we ordered our food and then went back to silence.
"So are you happy you moved back here?" He asked awkwardly trying to start a conversation to break the extremely awkward silence between us.
"Yeah I guess" I said shrugging my shoulders, because honestly I'm not really. Sure my friends are here, but it just reminds me more of my grandma and of course what Niall did.
The waitress walked back over to our table bringing our food and set it down in front of us before walking away to another table.
When she left we both began to eat and then Niall started to ask another question.
"Why did you move anyway?" He asked
"You still don't know?" I said a little shocked, it's been 5 years I would figure he would of heard it from somewhere or that Harry would of told him.
"No, I asked Dakota all the time but she would hardly talk to me after.." he said trailing off and not finishing the sentence then looking down at the table.
I sighed and then decided to tell him, maybe it would make him feel even worse about what he did, I know that sounds mean, but he should feel horrible about it. He should know how bad he hurt me.
"We moved because my grandma died.." I said feeling tears already beginning to form in my eyes.
"Dacey I..I'm so sorry, I know how much she meant to you" he said looking back up to me "why didn't you tell me" he asked
"I was going to, but then you told me we weren't friends and never had been. She died the day before that" I said with the tears about to roll down my face by this point and trying to restrain my self from yelling at him.
"I-I had no idea, I didn't mean for-" he stuttered before I cut him off.
"Of course you had no idea. You were to busy telling me we were never friends in front of the whole cafeteria. You don't know how hard it is to lose someone that you love and then have the person you thought you knew and though was your best friend completely throw it all away in a second. I needed you, you were my best friend, or at least you sure did a good job faking it" I said almost shouting but keeping my voice down because of where we are. I was shaking in anger and hurt, finally the tears started to roll down my heated cheeks before I whispered "I have to go" and quickly got out of the booth. I ran to my car and started it and drove off before he even had the chance to process what happened.
I drove to a familiar place from my childhood, the park where me and Niall met. I stayed in my car for a while just crying thinking about everything. I finally told him what I have wanted to for years. I wonder what he was thinking now, and I never got to find out why he wanted to talk because I went on a rampage about what he did to me. After about an hour I felt my phone go of in my pocket, I got it out to see a message from Harry.
"Are your alright? Niall said you left crying. He also told me what you said. He really is sorry Dace"
I just put my phone back in my pocket ignoring the message. I'm tired of them taking his side in all of this. I'm the one who got hurt in this, I'm the one who lost her best friend. Not him. This is what he wanted not me.
He was the one I needed the most in that moment, but he was the one causing the pain.
