Harry walked straight to Ali after sound check. His right hand grasped her lower back as he pulled her into his arms. They really did fit perfectly into each other.
"I think I need a nap, want to come with?" Harry asked as he kissed Ali gently.
"Nah I think Im going to go eat to something." Ali replied as she pulled away from Harry. He looked disappointed so Ali kissed him once more before walking away. With every rejection she gave Harry, Ali felt like Harry was one step closer to discovering her secret want for Niall.
Ali headed off towards the food. Surely she would find Niall there. He didn't see Ali walk up and slightly jumped at her presence. He still wasn't use to being in the same room as her. It had been a year since they "dated" or whatever, but the awkwardness could still fill a room.
"Is it bad that all I want to eat is chocolate?" Ali asked Niall in hopes of making firendly conversation.
"Is it bad that I always want to eat?" Niall replied. Ali laughed as butterflies flooded her stomach. His voice was crushing and amazing at the same time.
They were both laughing until Niall froze, realizing who he was talking to. His pale cheeks turned red and his eyes fell to the floor. Ali's heart dropped. She wanted to pull him close.
"Harry's probably looking for you..." Niall said, not making eye contact with Ali.
"Niall...." Niall looked up at Ali, his blue eyes distracted her from what she was about to say. She rebounded quickly though.
"Niall, I want to be frien-...I want...I-" Ali began to say as Niall interrupted her.
"I'm doing the best I can, Ali. Looking at you is difficult enough as it is." Niall said, looking at the ground again.
"I know."
"No you don't know. You think I hate you." Niall said with a little annoyance in his voice.
"Of course I think you hate me. It's been a year and nothing has gotten any better with us. What I did was horrible." Ali replied. She had so much she wanted to say. It had been so long since theyve spoken. She wanted to apologize and make up, but didn't know where to begin.
"Yeh it was. But I don't hate you. I just...I just don't know how to be around you when I feel...when I feel...it doesnt matter. I don't hate you." Niall said and then quickly walked away. Ali was left standing wishing he would never leave.
