Chapter 6
---
Maddy and I went back to my house to hang out after we finished our "date" with Niall and Della. Niall decided to show her around Mullingar.
"That. Was. Torturous." Maddy sighed.
I shook my head. "She was so rude."
Niall's- Niall's so nice, so sweet, so fun. Della is the complete opposite. Mean. Why did Niall fall for her? Why can't he fall for me? What does she have that I don't? Well sure she has a Prada Suede leather tote with a two leather handles and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap, metal lettering, two outside pockets with a zipper, and leather lining. I shit you not she explained it all to us about three times.
"I have to get my mind off Niall. He's obviously in love with Della. Did you see the way he looked at her? Did you Maddy?" I asked.
I didn't even realize I was crying until she came and hugged me.
"It's all going to be okay." She said. "Niall will come to his senses,"
"The thing is even if I didn't think I was in love with Niall, I wouldn't want him to be with her." I sobbed.
"I wouldn't want Niall to be with her of he was my worst enemy!" She said. "But we have to deal with it. For now anyways." She rolled her eyes. "I have to get home. My sisters boyfriend is coming over for dinner and I have to be there. Will you be okay here?" I nodded. She hugged me once more and left.
I went upstairs and changed into my sweats and long sleeve shirt from my volleyball days in high school.
I went back downstairs and laid down on the couch. I snuggled up in a blanket. I was very tired still from last night. I closed my eyes trying to fall asleep.
------------------------------------------
I woke up and stretched. It's weird how my body works. I want to get up, but I just don't have the strength in my legs. My mind wakes up before my body. I yawned and grabbed my phone.

Crap. I scrambled off of the couch almost falling onto the floor.
I have 12 minutes to go get Sammie.
I grabbed my keys and was out the door. It only takes about ten minutes to walk to the bus stop but I decided to play it safe and take my car.
Sammie has been gone for a month. There is some kind of trop that her school runs. "The Eight Grade Retreat". All of the eighth graders had to go around neighborhoods selling candy bars and such. I remember going with her from time to time. She'd always present herself as a innocent little girl to get more sales. Quite smart of her.
Sammie has never been gone from home for more than two day. It truly was a very tough decision for her whether to go or not. She asked me many times what I thought about her leaving for that long. Of corse I told her it would be one of the best experiences of her life. I remember when I went. Niall and I insisted on rooming together but the school refused. Their reason was "Because hormones,". Back then I thought it was silly.
I pulled into a car park of a nearby store and walked over to the other awaiting parents. I took out my phone and checked the messages. Two cute little ones from Jakob. One from Mom saying that they've settled into a hotel. One from Sammie.
Text From Sammie;
On my way back! I can't wait to see you sis! :)
Text to Sammie;
Waiting at the stop now. :)
I slipped my phone back into the pocket of the sweatpants.
"Abi?"
I turned around to see Niall.
"Hey." I noticed Della by his side chomping on some bubble gum. Gross. Maybe its because she's with the boy I love, but everything she does repulses me. She intertwined her fingers with his.
"What are you doing here?" Niall asked me.
"Uh, waiting for Sammie." I said smiling. For the first time today.
"Oh she comes back today?" He asked.
"No Niall. She comes back tomorrow. I'm just 24 hours early." I said. I shook my head at him and he laughed. I joined him until I seen Della roll her eyes. Come on now.
"Can I wait with you? I miss Sammie!" I swear I seen him jump a little in excitement. He always loved Sammie. I remember Maura picking us both up from school in the day my mother went into labor. We sat in the backseat excitedly betting on which color eyes she would have. Niall bet green and I bet purple. I was six may I remind you. We were both wrong seeing now she has brown eyes. Niall now says her eyes remind him of Liam. Which I think is funny because Sammie has a major crush on Liam. Pre-teens will be pre-teens crushing on boy bands.
Before I even could answer Della jumped in.
"But I want to see the city," she whined. The city? It's Mullingar. How exciting.
He sighed. "You go then. I'll catch up with you later." He said.
She quietly huffed, which Niall didn't notice, and turned away her heels clacking down the sidewalk.
He shook his head. "When does Sammie get here?" He asked clapping his hands together in excitement, changing the subject.
