Being Told You're Beautiful

bad news EEP

It was actually while Niall was at mine that it happened.

It was so nice to be reunited, and just have time alone in some privacy. We were just about to go for a walk in the nearby hills because all the leaves were turning orange and crunchy and I JUST LOVE AUTUMN OKAY.

Then the phone rang. My phone to be exact.

And it was Harry. Now he knew that it was Hane and Niall time, and I was a bit annoyed at him for holding us up. I mean, I had my wellies on and everything, all ready to go out into the clear, crisp air.

I answered with a sigh and a face at Niall showing my annoyance at taking the call. "What?"

"Uh, Hane, something's come up" he sounded anxious, but I ignored it. I was too frustrated at him wasting my time with Niall.

"Can't it wait? It can't be that important.." Niall passed me a curious look, confused at my half of the conversation.

"No, Hane, seriously, I-someone's-someone's found out about you and Niall."

I always used to laugh at the cheesy line of "I froze". I never thought I'd be able to say it having actually done it though.

But I did. I froze. Like when Edward finds out Bella is pregnant in Twilight (or Breaking Dawn to be exact) ((not that I've read the books or anything)) and he like becomes a statue, yeah, that.

Harry kept talking, but I didn't hear him. Niall, worried, took the phone from my hand and started speaking to Harry, his eyes widening at the news.

I couldn't believe it, we'd gone to all that trouble and been so careful and we'd missed out on so much coupley stuff we COULD have done and now ..

It was all for nothing.

I was brought back to reality when Niall gently led me towards a seat.

We just sort of sat there, hugging each other in silence.

Niall was the first to break it, "There's an article on SugarScape"

"Oh" I said. I didn't really know what else to say. I mean, what would YOU say? Exactly. Point made.

"Harry's checking it out, him and the others are furious and Paul's calling up SugarScape now, we're on it. Apparently it was from an 'insider'... It will be ok, trust me"

I think we both knew he was lying. It wasn't going to be ok. We were just hoping it would.

I was still wearing my wellies, but I didn't much feel like going on a walk anymore.
