Meeting One Direction

Chapter 17

Previously:

I take a deep breath and look up at Niall. His jaw has fallen to the ground in shock. Louis looks like he's about to congratulate me, Zayn looks confused, Liam looks disappointed, Harry is biting his lip, trying not to laugh.

Niall:

I cannot believe that Indieana just did that. She bends down and whispers something in that girl Tamara's face and pulls back up. I look at the girl's face and she looks terrified. She stands up, covering her nose and walks off, humiliated. "Why'd you do that Indieana?"

"Lets just say it was a gradual thing waiting to happen." she murmurs. She bends down, picks her stuff up, and walks away from the crowd that has circled us. Harry and I exchange looks with each other and follow her.

The crowd unfreezes and starts screaming all over again. Cameras start flashing and phones are going off. The body guards push them away and we try to find Indieana.

Harry:

I can't hold it in any longer and I start laughing. "What are you laughing at.." I look over and see Niall glaring at me.
"You don't even know what she's feeling and you decide to laugh? She's torn up about this!"

"Mate the look on her face when she punched her was amazing. She looked so happy to finally do something about her." I start to get out of my happy buzz, thanks to this guy.

-To: Indie

12:30 pm

where are you babe?

I get a text back immediately.

-From Indie

12:30 pm

what's Nialls number? I wanna talk to him...

Why would she want Niall's number?
I text her the number and watch Niall to see what he does. We're walking which makes it harder to see, but I notice Niall smile when he looks at his phone. No doubt because Indie texted him. He responds back quickly and asks some girl where the bathroom by the nurse's room is. The girl stutters, which kinda annoys me, and Niall quickly walks away without a thank you.

What's going on? Is Indie ok?

Niall:

I get a text from Indieana which first makes me happy but when I read it, it makes my heart break.

-From Unknown

12:34 pm

hey niall, it Indieana. I need to talk to you-it's about tamara. I'm in the bathroom by the nurse's room.

I reply with a quick ok. I ask some fan next to me where the bathroom by the nurses office is at. She stutters and tells me then I'm off. I knew she would be troubled by this! Harry laughing really pissed me off. Does he not know that she's torn up about this?

I speed up and finally find the restroom with a girl design on it. I knock softly, letting her know I'm out here. I hear nothing at first but slowly I hear the door unlock and a tear stricken face behind it. "Indieana," I say, at a loss of what to do. She grabs my hand and pulls me in locking the door behind her.

She stares at the ground for a few seconds and then she looks up, asking me a question through her eyes. Even when she cries, she's so beautiful.
I nod my head and she walks into my arms. She folds herself into me, leaning her head on my shoulder. I stroke her hair and let her calm down.

We stay like this for awhile until she pulls back, her face looking less red.
I wait for her to speak and after a few minutes, she starts talking, quite fast I may add.

"I don't really know why I did that it wasn't very smart and I know when you leave she's just gonna bully me more and I-" she states, leaving no pause to breathe. "I know that we've only known each other for less than a day but I feel like I can talk to you and I know that's cra-"

"She bullies you?" I ask, getting a little angry. "Yeah. All the time." she mumbles, looking down ashamed. I walk to her, grasp her chin and make her look at me. "You don't have to be ashamed Indie," I tell her. She looks at me, then tries to smile. She grabs my hand and kisses my knuckle before picking her stuff up.

"You're very sweet, thank you, but you don't understand." I try to concentrate on what she's saying but my knuckle is on fire. Her touch has me electrified, my thoughts not forming one solid thing. She's about to walk out the door but I grab her and spin her around.

"I think I do understand Indieana. I was bullied when I was younger and even today, I still get bullied. It may not be the same for you, but it does happen. Don't say I understand when you don't know." She doesn't say anything. She looks at the ground and I grasp her chin again.

"Indieana, I love that you stood up to her but what I'm saying is, punching her wasn't the best thing to do. Look at yourself! You're crying and I bet you feel like shit." I don't wait for her to acknowledge it because I can see it on her face. "I don't like seeing you sad so do what you have to so you don't feel bad alright?"

She has her eyes closed and this is a moment where I can just enjoy looking at her. Seeing her up close, you can see all these little things that make her cuter, if that's possible.

She's got long eyelashes that frame her lovely grey eyes. Her top lip is smaller than her bottom lip, making her lips look ultra kissable. Her eyebrows are shaped in a way that makes her seem like she could raise one eyebrow. She opens her eyes and my heart skips a beat. She stares intensely at me and before I know it, I'm leaning into her.

Indieana:

Niall is leaning into me, about to kiss me. He's an inch away but pulls away.
"Sorry Indieana...I...I don't know what got into me."

"I-I-It's okay Niall. M-Maybe we should go now?" crap now I'm stuttering.

(I like this chapter!! enjoy it!)
