Wrong Number [N.H.]

Chapter 26

After a while I had gone back to my flat. Nothing much had happened at Mariah's house that I hadn't mentioned, besides me saying sorry to Jay for thinking that he was dating Mariah.

When I stepped into my flat, immediately my phone vibrated. I looked down and opened it.

Mariah: applied for xfactor,hope it all wrks out

Me: wait what???? You did??

Mariah: 6 yrs since!!

Me: what??

Mariah: 6 yrs since you tweeted "applied for xfactor,hope it all wrks out"!!!! You forget did ya?

Me: Oh yeh! Haha thought you applied for x factor for a second!

Mariah: no. have i got any talents? No.

Me: mm.. you've got one. :)

Mariah: what?

Me: You have the talent/ability to make everybody fall in love with you and the way you walk and the way you talk, and the way you laugh and smile, and I could literally go on forever. You're so sweet, Mariah. You're so beautiful, Mariah. You're so.. Everything, Mariah. And I love ya x:)

Mariah's P.O.V.

A few days passed and nothing had really happened. Niall had so many interviews that all we could really do was text. He was always somewhere, and to be honest, I hated it.

He was never with me. He was always away, doing stuff with singing and interviews and he never had time to talk to me and sit down with me for at least an hour. It was really annoying, because I thought he had actually taken the time off of his schedule to come down to my place and spend time with me, but apparently not. That's just what he had said.

Honestly, it hurt a lot more than it should have.

Why did I think dating Niall- or no, even being close to Niall would be a good thing? It wasn't. All he did was interviews, rehearsals, and just.. Not be with me. It hurt.

I guess I should still be glad I actually got the privilege to talk to him- at least every once in a while. Not many people get to experience that.

Right in the middle of my thoughts my phone vibrated. I looked down and saw that Niall had requested a FaceTime. I quickly accepted, seeing that it would be the first time I'd seen his face in days.

"Hey, princess." Niall smiled as he saw my face pop up.

Even as mad as I was at him, I couldn't hide the fact that right now he was fucking adorable. He looked a little tired (no wonder why, he was always going places), his eyes wandering around the screen as if he was focusing on trying to stay awake and his head tilted slightly. His hair was pretty fluffy at moment, looking soft and wavy and going a little bit of everywhere. I could see that Lou had tried to put it up today but it was slowly falling, causing a small curl in it.

"How are you?" I asked, setting my chin on my hand, watching him carefully as he yawned before replying.

"I would like to say I'm good, but I'm not." Niall's smile faded. "I hate being away from you. I hate knowing that I told you I was going to stick around for at least a week, if not one fucking day but my schedule-"

I cut him off because I could see he was getting mad at himself. "It's fine, babe."

"It's not, I should be spending time with you-"

"I told you, it's fine." I forced a somewhat, believable, smile. "You're in the biggest band of boys in the world. You've got a big schedule. I don't expect you to be with me every second."

"Band of boys?" Niall raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. You're all guys, right?"

"Yeah, you just couldn't say boy band?"

"No. You're not a boy band. You're a band of boys, I will not call you a boy band because you're not. It's a bad word I will not use to describe you."

Niall rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Whatever, weirdo."

I could hear somebody yelling in the background and Niall turned his head, yelling back, "Gimme a minute! Mind ya, I'm talking to Mariah!"

The person yelled back something.

"Fine! I'm coming! Let me say a bye first!"

Niall turned to me, a slightly annoyed look on his face. "Princess, I've gotta-"

"It's fine." I smiled. "I'll talk to you later."

"Later, yeah. I love you!" Niall smiled.

"I love you too."

"Bye."

The screen went blank and Niall's face disappeared for another time, and again my heart ached as if I hadn't just talked to him then.

I needed him. I didn't want to be without him, it was breaking me. I couldn't handle it.

I just want him, but of course he's famous. Of course he's got girls running after him. Of course he's gotta busy schedule. Of course- he's got a life he doesn't need me in. At least, that's how I felt.
