I stood in my frozen state for a minute before reality hit me like a truck. I take the key from under the mat and shove it in the key hole. I unlock it and step inside, taking the key out of the key hole. I shut the door with a sigh. Why did Derek have to ruin everything? I walk up into my room and slam my door shut out of frustration. I flop onto my bed and scream into my pillow. Why am I so stupid? My phone starts ringing and I groan.

"Hello." I annoyingly said when I answered my phone, not bothering to look at the caller ID.

"How did it go?" I recognized Harry's voice immediately.

"Um about that..." I start.

"What happened?" Harry questioned. I told him everything from the minute Niall picked me up to his hug goodbye. After I told him everything, Harry sighed through the phone.

"Samantha, I'm going to be really honest with you. I love you, but you were over dramatic. I'm so sorry that your ex almost raped you and mentally abused you. I am very sorry, but you need to get over that. Niall really likes you! Don't loose him! He could be your one and only and you are stuck in the past. Niall is one way you're going to get over Derek. He's going to cross paths with you again, you and I both know that. But you need to woman up and deal with him because Derek won't leave you alone and it's your choice if you're going to ignore him and move on with your life or if you're going to let him soak up all if your time and waste your life. So, in the nicest way I can, get your head out of your ass. Love you, goodbye." And with that, he hung up.

I lay on my back and soak in what Harry said. Was he right? I was being a bitch after Derek ruined our date. It wasn't Niall's fault that Derek came. Being the bitch I am, I just had to take it out on him. Does Niall like me that much? I can tell that he likes me, but I didn't realize that he likes me a lot.

I decide to text Niall and ask him if he wants to talk on Monday. After 20 minutes of no reply, I gave up. He must be really mad at me. I sigh in defeat. I change into my pink pajama shorts and white tank top. After plugging my phone into my charger, I hop into bed and drift off to sleep with Harry's speech still lingering in my mind.

Niall's POV

"Thanks for the ride Greg." I thank him as I open the car door.

"No problem Niall. Let her cool off before you argue with her okay?" He pleaded.

"No promises." I sighed.

"Niall." Greg warned. I turn around, giving him a bitch face.

"You have to control your anger." He scolded me. I rolled my eyes.

"Good night Greg." I said, closing the car door before he could say good night back to me. I walk towards the door and look back at Greg, finding a disappointed look on his face. I couldn't help but get angry that Derek showed up. I told him to stay away from her the night he tried the night when he tried to rape her. He's too stupid to follow simple instructions. I walk through the door to find my mom in front of the T.V., watching Star Wars: A New Hope with a beer. She finally notices me and her face lights up.

"Niall! How was it?" my mom excitedly said, patting the seat next to her. i sit down next to her and sigh.

"It started off awesome, then fucking Derek came." my mom doesn't care if I cuss in front of her, just as long its not in front of my little sister, Taelor.

"And Derek is?" Mom questions.

"The ex that tried to rape her and abused her." I answered.

"Oh. Continue." She said, following with a swig of her beer.
