~ Niall's P.O.V. ~
"Niall," she paused, "we can't be together."
Five words. Five words that crushed my heart all over again. I poured my heart out to her and Juli didn't feel the same way. She never has, she never will.
"Juli, I love you." I whispered. "I can't go on living without you."
She looked away before more tears formed in her eyes. "Niall, meeting you was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. But I realized that being a mother is more important than anything right now." Her hand pulled away from mine. "This baby girl is the world to me, and I need to put all my focus on her."
I tried to hold my tears in. I opened my mouty to say something, anything, but I went mute.
"Hey," she said, in a some-what cheery voice, "I never said I wanted you out of my life. I still want to be friends. I'm not ready for anything more than that right now." She pulled me into a hug.
I hesitated slightly before hugging her back. "Just as long as I don't lose you." I whispered.
"You won't." she whispered back.
~ Juli P.O.V. ~
"Just as long as I don't lose you." Niall whispered.
All I could think was that If I did lose him, I'd be lost. He'd been there for me before, and he had been there since I found him again.
"You won't." I whispered.
"Juli?" He said, not leaving the hug. "Is there ever a chance that we could leave this place and go get some food? I'm a little hungry."
I laughed at his question and stood up. "Perfectly fine with me! I was thinking you'd never ask!"
He looked at me with those amazing sky blue eyes as he stood up behind me. "Where do you want to eat? There's a few restaurants in walking distance from here."
We started walking down the concrete path. "Doesn't matter to me, you can choose!" I said, pointing up at hin. Niall is atleast five inches taller than me.
"Jules, if you let me choose, I think we both know what we're going to end up eating." He looked down at me, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh and what's that? Nando's?" He looked at me with a fake surprised look on his face and gasped.
"How did you know?" He said and I bursted out laughing.
"Just a guess." I said in between giggles.
The rest of the walk to Nando's, Niall told me all about what it's like being on tour, being around the lads, and just the popstar life in general. The one thing that confused me is how Niall has millions of girls fawning over him, and he still goes after me. Juli Coachmen, the college girl who messed up big-time and is now pregnant.
"Niall?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Why do you like me? Even after this happened?" I motioned to my stomach.
He sighed and put his hands in his pockets. "Juli, you don't realize how amazing you are. After everything that has happened to you these past few months, you still stand strong. You're so beautiful, and I don't think you are told that enough. Carter has no idea what kind of girl he threw away." He looked up at the sky, then back down at me. "I'm almost glad he did, it would have never brought me back to you."
I could feel my cheeks turning crimson red at his statement. "Stop saying that. I'm fat, and it's only going to get worse these next few months."
"Juli," he put his arm around my shoulder. "You're not fat, not even close. The baby bump will only add to your beauty."
