Stay. (A Niall Horan FanFiction)

Chapter 18

It's been almost over a week since Niall and Sarah last spoke to each other. It didn't end well. Sarah's heart was shattered. He just left. He didn't say anything but "I gotta go". She was pissed at him for just leaving things so unresolved like that. It was killing her that she hasn't to him since. She could never get it off her mind. He became a part of her life, and now he's gone. Not for sure though. Her subconscious added. She was hoping and praying that it would be true. She saw herself with Niall and didn't want it to end over something like this.

She was tired from not sleeping. She would just toss and turn all night long. Normally she would call Niall and they would talk until she was ready to conk out. Sarah barely ate. Whatever she did eat was small and she wouldn't even finish it. Her eyes were always swollen from her crying herself to sleep. She felt like a zombie. Sooner or later she would look like one too. Mikayla let her take some time off work to clear her mind. She also missed a few days of school. She was ahead on her work anyway.

She just couldn't take not having him around anymore. When is this feeling of feeling terrible going to end?

*Niall at work

For the past week Niall couldn't shake this feeling of being empty. He knew exactly why he felt that way, he also knew exactly how to get rid of the feeling too. Was he ready to though? He missed her. He missed her laugh, her smile, the way her hair smelt after she got out of the shower, her vanilla perfume she always wore, how she with her glasses on when she did homework. Basically everything. When Niall thought about it, they knew each other for a span of just over a month and yet he knew so much about her.

He wasn't ready to let her go. What was he doing? He was wasting time was what he was doing. He needed to talk to her and get over this mess. But he was at work now, he would have to wait until it was over in 2 hours. Those would be the longest 2 hours.

He started thinking about whether or not he should text her , when he saw a familiar face walk into the store.

His palms started to sweat and his heart sped up. He tried to think of where he'd seen that face, the almost buzzed hair, light green eyes, and lanky structure before. Then it hit him. He was the guy Sarah was talking about. It was the guy he'd wanted to smash into the ground several times. The fucker that broke Sarah.

Justin.

What was he doing here? More importantly why? Niall felt sick just looking at him. Knowing what he did to Sarah made him furious. He was a disgusting human being. How could he live with himself after what he did to her? Niall fought with everything he had not to walk right up to him and kick his ass right now.

"Are you ok, Niall?" Zack asked.

"Yeah just fine." He growled.

He lied. He knows he did. Niall just didn't want to tell Zack.

A line started to form at the cash and Niall had to calm down other wise he might get in trouble for being so grumpy and rude to costumers.

When Niall finished scanning the things the people in line had, he turned around to the put the receipts away.

He heard someone clear their throat and turned around to see who it was.

Just the person he wanted to see. Justin.

"Can I help you?" Niall practically said through his teeth.

"Yeah I'm just getting these." He put down a sweater and a tshirt. So Niall began to scan his things. He bit down on his cheek to avoid saying anything he might regret. Then Justin's phone rang.

"Hey! ... Yeah I know ... Do you know him? ... I'm glad Sarah finally moved on ... When you find out let me know, I wanna say hi to her ... Ok bye man!" Justin put his phone back in his pocket. Something about his tone made Niall uneasy. He tried his best to keep his anger to himself. Fighting this jack ass wouldn't solve anything. What he had to do was see Sarah and make sure she didn't talk to him. He would bolt there right after his shift.
