Destroyed

Just Friends

Previously on Destroyed:

" I did it! I did it! I finally faced my fear!" I squeal in excitement and astonishment, suffocating him with a gigantic hug. I feel him chuckle as he says,

"Anytime." I pull back as he places a stray piece hair behind my ear and find myself just a few inches away from him. We stare at each other. And after a few minutes I find him starting to lean in.

What was now a few inches away from my face was now just a few centimeters. I feel paralyzed as I just continue to stay still. He switches from looking at my lips up to my eyes as he continues to move closer. "Niall," I whisper looking down. "W-we can't." I say putting my hand on his chest in a friendly way.

"Yea, your right. I'm sorry." he says instantly backing away. "I-I'm just going to get more wood for the fire tonight." He says scratching the back of his head and turning away.

"N-" I start to say but decide it's best to let him be alone for a while. Why did I have to hurt him?!?! I never meant to hurt him. I always screw everything up! I decide to walk a while myself to clear my head. Was I really about to let him kiss me? I can't do that! I'm with Harry and I could never betray him like that.

Niall's P.O.V.

Stupid! I'm such an idiot! Everything was fine before I had to go and screw everything up! Why? I actually thought, for one moment that she'd might actually kiss me back. I run my hand through my hair in frustration as I punch a tree. I can already feel my knuckles bleeding, but at the moment I honestly could care less. I repeatedly punch the tree in front of me as I hear a sweet voice stop me in my tracks.

Rose's P.O.V.

"Niall?" I say in disbelief and shock. He stills his movements as he slowly turns around.

"Rose. What are you doing here?" He asks breathing heavily as he scratches the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Y-You've been gone for hours, I-I was worried so I went looking for you, but now I see You obviously didn't want to be found." I respond lowering my voice toward the end.

"I.....just needed some air." He replies moving his hand to be visible to my eyes. I gasp as I see his busted knuckles.

"Niall what happened?!?! Why did you do that?!?" I ask quickly moving toward him as I take his hand in mine slowly and carefully examining it. I run my fingers across them softly and look up at him just to find him starring down at me. "Why would you hurt yourself?" I whisper.

Niall raises his other hand up to my cheek and strokes it. "Please don't be upset with me." he whispers back. I part my lips to respond as he cups my face in his hand. "I just want you, I just want to know if we can at least continue to be best friends because if we can't, if I ruined what we had, I don't think I could live knowing I'm not apart of your life some way or some how. " Speechless I contemplate what to say, but no words I thought of seemed to be the right ones. So instead I decided to do what part of my heart was telling me too. I kissed him.

Clara's P.O.V.

I giggle as he continues to mysteriously lead me to my hidden destination blindfolded. "Nick where are we?!?" I ask for the hundredth time since I was took from my house for our "date".

"Were almost there." he responds gently. I just groan and a few minutes later we come to a stop. "Okay you can look now." He whispers next to my ear as he slowly takes my blindfold off. I gasp as I look at the mesmerizing scene in front of me. In front of me was the city lights scattered around the city, and we were at the best view of it all.

"It's beautiful." I finally choke out as he walks in front of me sitting on the edge of the high mountain that was in front of us. I soon find myself sitting beside him. "Thank you for this, it's truly amazing." I say leaning my head on Nicks shoulder.

"Your welcome." He says. After a while he asks, "So where's Rose been?"

I look up at him and furrow my eyebrows. "I think she went camping with....Niall?" I reply unsure. I feel him stiffen, but then quickly relaxes.

"Why?" He continues to ask.

"I honestly don't really know. But enough of talking about her. Did you hear about Tiffany?" I gush starting my rant of the day as he listens.

Niall's P.O.V.

She kissed me. Her lips were so soft and perfect. Better than I imagined they could be. They felt so right against my cheek. So soft and delicate, like an angel. But as quickly as she did she slowly pulled away and left me standing there as she turned around and walked back toward the campfire.
