The Brunette

Coke and icecream

Chapter 19(Bella's pov): "Niall," I say as calmly as I can. "What was that?" He runs his hand through his hair. "Let me explain." He says quickly. "Please." I say, crossing my arms. "I was dreaming about my crush." I can't tell if he's lying or not.

"I swear," he continues. "I would never disrespect you like that. It was an honest mistake." He looked like he was telling the truth. I think about what to say. "Im sorry, Bella, I really am." He sounded upset. He sits on the ground and runs both hands through his hair. I sit next to him and lean on his shoulder. He looks at me.

"Im sorry." He says sadly. I smile and hold him. "Do you forgive me?" He asked. I nod. He smiles gratefully. I get up and check my phone. Its 6 in the morning. I have twenty more messages. Zayn. I look back at Niall. He's asleep. I unplug my phone from the charger and slide down the wall. I started reading all of Zayn's messages from the beginning.

"Hey I just woke up, where are you x."

"Im sorry about what I said last night"

"Please forgive me"

"I love you x."

"Please answer"

"Where are you?"

"Im so sorry Kay please forgive me"

"I love you please answer me x."

"I miss you so much"

"Where are you?"

"Your friends are worried about you"

"Im worried about you"

"I love you x."

"Im sorry"

I can't read anymore of this. I put the phone down. I wanted to text him so bad, but something was holding me back. I don't know what it was. I sat there thinking until the sun fully came up. I moved to sit in front of Niall. I poked his face. "Niall." I said quietly. He frowned slightly.

I poked him again. "Niall wake up." I say, a little impatient. He said something but his accent was so thick I couldn't make out anything. I think for a minute about what happened a while ago.

He kissed me.

I didn't know if I liked it. He was my friend. Its not like we could start dating. Date. My date. I had a date with Harry tomorrow. I totally forgot. I thought about harry. He was gorgeous. His eyes were extraordinary. I think about what Im going to wear to our date tomorrow.

I got bored. I poke Niall again. His eyes fluttered open for a second, then they closed again. "Fine then," I say, standing up. "I'll have breakfast by myself then." Niall groans then slowly starts getting up. I laugh. Only food will wake him. I remember we didn't get any breakfast foods.

I take the carton of ice cream out of the otherwise empty freezer and take out two spoons. Its strawberry, my favorite. I take a can of coke out of the refrigerator and pop it open. I sit back down next to Niall who was stretching while yawning. When he finishes I give him a spoon. Im already eating. He sits back down beside me and starts eating too.

"Ice cream and coke?" He asks after a while. "Try it." I respond. He grudgingly gets up to get a can. He sits back down. I pause to watch him try. He takes a sip of the drink then eats a spoonful of the ice cream. "This is brilliant." He exclaims. "I know." I smile.

While we eat, we plan out what we're going to do today. First, we're going to pick up Louis from the airport. Then we're going to the real estate agent's office to drop off the money so I can live in my apartment. Last we're going back to Starbucks to leave my job application with my new address on it so that I could work there.

"Im taking the first shower this time." Niall says, grinning. I smile back. I put away the leftover ice cream and throw away the empty coke cans. I look through my suitcase for something to wear. When I finally find something I like, Niall's finished showering.

I take a shower after him and pull on todays outfit. Im wearing black skinny jeans and a bright orangeish-pinkish T-shirt that says "Let music take hold" I pair it with a black beanie with white stripes and a necklace with a bird pendant that goes down past my chest. I curl my hair from the middle down. My makeup is a little heavier than yesterday with a little bit of black eyeshadow and longer cat eyes. I use dark pink lip gloss to complete the look.

I go out side and see Zayn's bracelet on the counter. I hesitate before putting it on. I didn't know why I did, but I decide not to think about it.

Niall is on his phone. He's wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, red snapback and the same dog tag from yesterday. I realize that his dog tag was probably his brother's.

"Hey, we need to go, Louis is probably waiting for us." He says while pocketing his phone. "Yeah, just a minute." I say while going around the house looking for stuff I needed. I put my money I might use today around the city plus the money for the apartment in a little black purse.

I remember the last day I was in home and getting ready to leave. I took every cent I had and a little of Zayn's money. It came up to a few thousand. He was sleeping on the couch that day, like he did every time we were in a fight. I had snuck out past him, not even looking back at his sleeping form. I didn't have a car so I took a cab. I went to Walmart and bought brown hair dye. I went to the airport and changed my hair color there and took the first flight to London.

Zayn was originally from Bradford, in the UK. He occasionally went there on vacation. He's told me everything about the UK. He said the best part is London. So that's where I went.

That's where I am.

That's where Im staying.
