XXVIII. 19th

Well no one told me about her, though they all knew.

I knocked on Abilene's door, looking up at her room only to see that the light was on. My grip on the orchids became slightly harder. "Niall! Come in!" Salma said and opened the door for me.

"Thank you. These are for you." I handed her the orchids.

"You shouldn't have. Thank you." She set the orchids down and admired them. "They are lovely." she remarked.

"They reminded me of you."

She laughed. "Come come. Abilene will be down soon." Salma guided me to the kitchen where Brandon was sitting, chopping carrots and slid the salad to me. "Could you toss this?"

I took the serving spoon and fork and started to toss the salad. "How has the hiatus been treating you?" Salma asked

"It's been good. Better when I see Abilene. It's starting to get boring but I'm going to fly to Atlanta tomorrow night for the golf Masters." She nodded. "We aren't much of a golf family." 

"Abilene hates silence which means she hates golf." Brandon said.

I let out a small laugh. "Abilene has expressed that."

"About Abilene, I'm going to be throwing her a small party for her 18th birthday." Brandon said.

"19th right?" I was confused.

"18th birthday. Anyway..." Whatever he said beyond that was drowned out.

Abilene had been lying to me our whole entire relationship. Almost a year. I can't become mad now, her mom is here.

"Niall?" Abilene was now sitting next to me. She was wearing a summer dress. "Hi." I said and she hugged me and i hugged her back.

"Hello. Let's eat." she pulled her chair in.

"So Abilene honey, Brandon was just telling Niall about the small party he is throwing for your 18th birthday." she didn't flinch as her mom said these words.

"Wow, I cannot believe you are going to be 18." I said and watched her reaction. She fork going to her mouth stopped for a second and then she resumed. I watched as her face got red.

Salma's phone started ringing and she got up. "Excuse me."

"So, 18, huh." I said eating the salad.

"Niall not here."

Brandon nudged Abilene and whispered "He doesn't know you are 17?"

Before she could answer her mom came back and apologized. "I'm on call and I have to go." She kissed Abilene and put a hand on my shoulder. Brandon was looking down at his phone. "Ooo, I didn't tell my mom I was coming and I have to go. She's pissed. Bye guys." Brandon said and sprinted out the door.

"I was going to tell you."

"When? When Abilene? When maybe we would move in with each other? When we our relationship reached the 4 year milestone?"

I scoffed at the silence. "Tell me what you had in mind for the future. What are your plans?"

She stayed silent.

"I'll tell you my plans used to be, how about that?" I started. She still was silent.

"I saw you going to college and I would visit you where ever you would be. We would travel and you would find your passion and finish college. Then after you finished your college or colleges and One Direction ended, I saw us even getting married. I saw us having kids and living a dream life. But now all I see is my career."

I looked at her and she was crying. "I broke the f.ucking law for gods sake. You are a minor. You are under f.ucking 18. I could get arrested."

"So what are you saying?" she finally said. "Are you saying that there is no more us? That after all we've been through, I thought we loved each other."

"Oh no. You do not get to play that card with me. In a HONEST relationship, there would be no secrets. Especially about basic stuff, like favorite color, favorite animal, age. See if you truly loved me, not just the idea of me, you would have told me before I invested so much into this relationship only for it to be torn apart."

"I know your love was wasted, but who the hell was I?" she shouted.

The air was silent. "What are we going to do Niall?" she whispered. Only this time was I not going to comfort her. "It pains me to say this but--"

"No, please don't I love you."

I winced. "We are over."

"Please don't leave. I love you so much. I know you love me too."

"Once again Abilene, are you in love with the idea of me, or are you in love with me?"

She didn't answer.

"Maybe this wasn't meant to be. Maybe the universe has other plans." I whispered, a tear falling down my already wet face. 

"If I see you again, that means that it is the universe pulling us together and you have got to give me a chance."

I touched her face. "I love you. Don't try to find me."

And with that, I left Abilene and drove into the darkness.

The only real relationship I ever had was gone, and with that, the girl I loved.
