Chapter Four

Niall's POV:

I heard a car door slam from my bedroom the morning after my conversation with the boys. I knew it had to be Natalie. It just had to be. I quickly threw the covers off of me, and ran over to my closet. I wanted to wear something nice but not to fancy. Maybe a polo with jeans? I guess that will have to do for now.

I didn't even bother waking up my parents. I didn't even eat breakfast. You know your important to me when I skip a meal for you. And that person was Natalie. I know we haven't said a word to each other since the day she left, in the airport but she was my best friend. Hopefully, she still remembered me.

Her house was just down the street from mine. Any other girl would love to live so close to me,but the girls around me were the girls I grew up with so their used to me. I turned into her driveway, not knowing what to say. She was already in the house, but Mrs.Hansen was in their driveway.

"Hello Mrs.Hansen. I'm so glad your back!" I said, trying not to scare her.

"Oh, hello Niall. Nice to see you again. You got so big." She replied with a smile.

" Nice to see you too" I said with a smile.

" Natalie's inside" She said, as she turned back to getting her things out of the car.

"Okay" I replied.

I walked up the walk way to the familiar house. It hadn't changed a bit in five years. It still looked like the same house I would walk to after my football (soccer) games on Saturday mornings, the ones she couldn't come to. This is it. I'm about to see my friend I haven't seen in forever it seems like.

I knock on the door, loud enough for her to hear. I stand there patientally waiting for the door to open.Then it opens. Its Mr.Hansen.

"Hello Mr.Hansen. Its so nice your back. It feels like it has been forever since I saw you last" I tell him.

"Its nice to be back" He says.

"It must be weird with the time and all" I say after a few moments of scilence.

"Yeah, but it will just take some time getting used to it" He replied.

"Yeah"I say in agreement.

"Natalie, you have a visitor!" He calls. She must be upstairs.

After a few minutes, I start to hear footsteps coming down the stairs. They stop at the bottom and turn a corner. Then,walking in the foyer,Natalie appears. God, she was prettier then before. She had changed a lot. But she looked good.

"Hi Niall" She said.

She remembers me. "You remember?"I ask.

" Of course. Why wouldn't I?" She asks raising her eyebrow.

"I don't know, I mean its been five years" I say.

"Yeah, but I have a very good memory"She says looking at me.

I try to picture her as a kid and her now side by side. She looks nothing like she did as a kid. Except for her blue eyes and brown hair, everything changed. I think I like her better now.
