Never Knew I Needed (A Niall Horan love story... or is it?) (finally finished)

CHAPTER 9

~CHAPTER 9~

Malory's POV

I was in the bathroom taking a shower, when I heard someone playing the guitar, and singing. I couldn't tell if it was Liam, Louis, or Niall. I turned off the water and dried off. I then realized it was Niall. I got dressed and that, and quickly combed my hair. I snuck upstairs and Niall's bedroom door was opened a crack. I peeked in and listened to him playing a Micheal Buble song.

Call me crazy but it sounded actually, very good! He stopped playing and looked right at me I quickly walked into my room and closed the door. I pulled out my keyboard and turned it on. Niall walked into my room. "Oh hey there... Niall!" I said smiling.

"Were you just peeking in my room?" He asked me sounding strange.

"what me?" I snickered. "Psh, I was just here about to start playing my keyboard!" I said turning up the volume.

"Do you know how to play?" Niall asked me as he sat down next to me.

"Psh!!! Yes!" I said.

"Hmmmm then play!" He said with a smirk on his face.

"Oh, I don't really play in front of other people!" I said feeling weird.

"Then I guess you don't know how!" Niall said getting up.

"Wait!" I said staring at the keyboard. Niall stood there and stared at me. I sighed "I guess I will play one song." I said as I laid it on my bed and got the stand out. I placed my keyboard on the stand, got out some sheet music and began playing Haven't Met you yet by Michael Buble.

As I was playing, I saw Niall's face light up! "So you were peeking in my room!" He snickered.

"What?" I said as I finished. "Just because that was the song you were playing in your room doesn't mean..."

"See!" Niall shouted as he chuckled. "Plus I saw you peeking in my room."

"What! Why I never!" I said sitting there. "I just heard some guitar playing and thought I'd find out where it was coming from."

"What ever, you proved you could play piano." Niall said as he got up.

I coughed. "Did I mention I also play alto saxophone, clarinet, flute, piccolo, trumpet, snare drums, bells, organ, soprano ukulele, bass guitar, electric guitar, and acoustic guitar. And I sing from a range of alto and soprano, and between you and me, tenor." I said feeling pretty impressive right now.

"Really?" Niall asked.

"Yeah, I guess you could call me a music prodigy!" I said.

"What's your favorite instrument?" Niall asked me.

"Well that's hard, that would be like asking a mother which child was her favorite."

"So you don't have one?" Niall asked.

"What are you crazy? Of coarse I have a favorite instrument!" I said making it sound like he was stupid.

"Then what is it?"

"Piano and guitar." I said putting my keyboard away.

"Well then, I better go then." Niall said getting up.

"Yeah, good bye." I said putting my keyboard away as Niall closed my bedroom door. I then realized something I never knew before. "No way..." I said getting up and sitting on my bed. I snapped my fingers and smiled. "We both play guitar!!!"

Niall's POV

As I left Malory's room I went into the kitchen. Louis was sitting by the island and began talking to me.

"Oh hey Niall!" He said in his cheery voice.

"Morning Lou!" I said as I waved and began to rummage through the fridge.

"So... About last night-"

"What about it?" I said as I took out a water bottle.

"What was up with you and Malory?" He asked me as he took a bite out of a carrot.

"Look it's not what you think. Funny story actually!" I chuckled. "She thought I was you!"

"Well we always do that while watching a movie! She's like my little sister!" Louis said. "But why didn't you like cough and make it obvious that it was you?"

"She looked comfortable and I didn't want to bother her, plus I was too lazy." I said taking a sip of my water.

"Well... Did you... Like it?" Louis asked me sounding strange.

"Um... I don't know." I said messing around with the bottle. "It felt strange, and I just don't know. It just didn't seem... Normal." I said.

"So you hated it..." Louis said.

"Well I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it either." I said.

"I see." Louis said. "So you like Malory?"

"I don't like Malory ok!!!" I shouted as I slammed my water bottle on the island. I was mad that everyone thought I liked her. Louis looked at me with a frown.

"With that attitude, looks like we won't go on tour... All those disappointed fans." Louis said trying to make me apologize.

"Look, I will act to like her so we can go on tour but I never liked her and never will." I said looking into Louis's eyes.

"Ok." Louis said getting up. "I see you mean it, and I can't control your feelings.' I could tell he wasn't too happy.

"I'm sorry Lou but it's the way it is." I said watching him.

"I understand..." He said as he walked away.

As I watched him I felt bad. "Sorry..." I whispered as I sat there all alone.
