Chapter 19

Edited: 8/26/14

Niall P.O.V

Regaining my trust for Elle is hard. She is so stubborn, but its worth it to get her back. It has been a month since the incident.

Elle P.O.V

Niall doing all these things to regain my trust is quite adorable, but I'm like trying to play hard to get. I really want to just forgive him and be in his arms, but I haven't quite decided that yet.

"Hey Elle.''

"Ya?" I turn around and Niall was leaning against the door frame.

"I want to take you out on a date."

He is killing me.

Say yes.

Say no.

Say yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No. You're playing hard to get, remember? My conscious told me.

Oh, right.

"No thanks, Niall. Sorry." I crack a small smile.

He nodded his head in defeat and walk away.

I feel so bad, like really bad.

A few days later, Niall was acting strange, like weird strange, if you know what I mean. Maybe you don't, so I'll just say he's acting like a gorilla.

"Mate, what are you doing?" Harry asked with surprise in his voice.

"Eating a banana and scratching my head. Why?"

"Nothing." Harry stalk off.

Niall have been acting like this after I rejected him for the 3rd time. Yeah, like 3 freaking times. I mean I'm flatter that he is doing this but...there is no but in this sentence. Oh wait, maybe there is. He's making it hard to play hard to get!

"Hey Niall." I crouch down beside him.

He look somewhere else and ignore me like I wasn't there."

"Are you okay?"

He still didn't talk.

"Fine." I raised my hands up, like I was in defeat. I stood up and looked at him. I mean yeah, I feel really bad about rejecting but this is his fault in the beginning.

"I just wanted a simple answer. What is up with you?" I don't know why but I felt like my anger was about to burst any second.

He still didn't move nor talked to me.

"I'm asking you a question. So you better speak up or I'll-"

"You will what, hm? You'll not talk to me again? You'll go find someone else to love?

"Oh, so now you're talking."

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"Yes! I asked if you were okay, but you ignored me. I said hello, and you did the same as the second."

"Well yeah, that's what you get for rejecting me."

Now, my anger was going to burst.

"I hate you!" I blurted and ran out the door. By the time I reached outside and closed the door, I ran to the backyard.

I heard the front door open and close shortly afterward. The car engine began to roar, and Niall was driving off to god knows where.

Man, was I dramatic.

I snuck back up to my bedroom and fell asleep in 5 seconds. The bed was so comfy and cold.

Niall's POV

After Elle had ran out the door, I had a feeling she was running away, getting lost, and I would get up this very floor and find her.

I screw up so bad.

I got up from the floor and rushed to the door. Jogging down the steps, I quickly got into the car and drove off.

5 hours later

I couldn't find her anywhere. I went to all her favorite places but she was not there. By the time I reached home, it was 8 at night.

Inside, Liam asked where I was, and I answered.

"Finding Elle."

"For what?"

"I screw up, big time."

"Well, you know she was home, right?"

"What?"

"You wasted 5 hours finding her."

"Where is she now?"

"Sleeping upstairs."

I ran up the flight up stairs and waited in front of her door. The door open, and Elle was yawning and when she saw me, she looked surprise.

"Uh. Hi."

"Hey."

Awkward Silence.

I should just tell her my feelings for her and how bad I screw up. If you still want me or not, I think I'll be okay. Hopefully.

"Okay, I have a feeling you still like me."

"I never said that."

"Hear me out."

"I like you a lot, and I'm sorry about the whole Cassie's thing. I should've believed you. I known you my whole life. This will be my last time. Will. You go out with me again? "

She stayed quiet for a few seconds and replied, "Sure.''

"Really? I mean, great. I'll pick you up at 7."

She look at the clock and its 6.

"You're only giving me an hour to get ready?!"

Elle's POV

I'm finish. I was wearing dark blue skinny jeans, a white ruffle shirt with a blue hobo style cardigan, and white Toms. I braided my hair to the side. I put money, phone, and lipstick in my white purse.

It was 6:59. I skip down the stairs and open the door.

Niall: "Hey."

Me: "Hi."

Niall: "Are you ready?"

Me: "Yup."

_________

This whole night was fun. We went to eat Nandos. Typical. After that we went to the beach and walk barefooted. We laugh and talk about random things.

__________

Niall stop walking, pulling me back.

We made eye contact.

Niall: "Can I ask you something?"

Me: "And what would that be?"

Niall: "Would...wouldyoubemygirlfriendagain?" He said really fast.

I made a thinking face.

I still like. Love him too, so why not?

I pull him in a hug.

"I would love to, again."

"Yes!" He fist pump in the air. I let out a giggle.
