Chapter Eight

Niall's POV:

We stayed in the hug for a while. I couldn't believe she was crying over a guy who cheated on her. He had some nerve cheating and lied to her. But I guess she couldn't handle the memories. I didn't blame her for it.

"You hungry?" I asked her.

"I guess" She said, letting go of me and wiping the tears away.

" Look, I know that you loved him but he obviously didn't love you back. So why are you crying?" I asked with confusion.

"Well, to be honest, he was my first love. And it turned out horriably wrong" She said, still wiping tears away.

"There's nothing wrong with him being your first boyfriend. You know why?" I asked.

"Why?" She said curiously.

"Cuz,I never had a girlfriend and I'm 19" I said, shaking my head in embarrassment.

"That's okay" She said, looking at me.

"No its not. All of my friends have had girlfriends except me" I said.

"Its good to be a leader not a follower. At least that's what my mom says" She says, giggling.

"Alright, instead of lecturing me, lets get some food before everything closes" I say, laughing.

"Okay" She says.

We get off the bench and start walking towards the park exits. Once we get out of the park, we start off down the street. We walk until we see the only open place there is. Its a little pub called "The Leprechaun" I've never been inside, but I heard its good.

We walk inside. There is only a few other people in there besides us. We find a booth and take a seat. Our waiter comes over with two menus. She leaves us alone to decide what we want to eat. She comes back ten minutes later and takes our order.

When we're done eating, it was around 7:30. We decided to stay out a little longer and walk around. I could tell by the look on Natalie's face, that she was exhausted. With all that crying, I couldn't see why she wouldn't be.

"So...." She started, trying to start a conversation.

"So...." I said back.

"Do your friends like me?" She asked, with a worried look on her face.

"Of course they do. Why wouldn't they? What's not to like?" I said.

"I don't know. Its just every time I meet new people, I just worry about if they like me or not" She replys.

"Oh, I never knew that before" I said.

"You learn something new everyday right?" She asked.

"Yeah, I guess so" I replied.

I loved spending time, catching up with Natalie. It was great I get to be alone with her. She's just so adorable, how could you not like her?
