Forbidden Love

Everything's Wrong~5

Niall cleared his throat for the fiftieth time in the past two minutes. It was his lame attempt to get me to meet him in the kitchen. So not happening.

"Niall are you coming down with something," I asked sarcastically.

"Hmm, you know what! Maybe I am. Im sure theres something in the kitchen I can take."

"I don't think so." I glared at him from the other side of the couch, our parents between us, then focused back on the TV. It had been like this for the last past hour.

"Grace?"

"What Niall," I snapped back.

"Im kinda thirsty."

"You know where the fridge is," I said smiling bitterly. My mom nudged me.

"Grace don't be rude. Go with Niall to get him something," she said. Great.

I got up rushing to the kitchen hoping that by the time I got there and got Niall's water we wouldn't have time to talk. But I was wrong.

He grabbed my arm as soon as we were out of sight and spun me around.

I raised my eyebrows annoyed.

"What did you need to talk to me about so badly that you annoyed me for half an hour?" He sighed.

"Us." I rolled my eyes. He grabbed my shoulders until our eyes met. "I don't know what to make of you Grace. First we kiss. Then you act like you don't wanna go to the party with me. Then we kiss again and you cant stop staring at me. Then you don't wanna see me again. Then you're blushing and we're holding hands and now you don't wanna look at me." He dropped his hands at his side. "What do you want?"

I leaned my elbows on the counter putting my hands over my face. He was right.

"I don't know." Then I uncovered my face looking up at him. "Actually...I do know. I want you. And no matter what I say I want you. You make me feel so...good. Genuinely happy which I haven't felt in a long time," I explained trying to laugh through my tears. "But. Im scared to loose you." I grabbed his hand. "What if they do get married? And I let myself really fall in love with you?"

He hugged me. "Its gonna work out. I promise." I pushed him away.

"Don't say that. Don't you say that because you have just as much control over the situation as I do,"I argued. My voice got louder and it got harder to hold back my tears until I was practically yelling.

"And it isn't fair! Because I have no control over anything yet for some reason I cant let you go. And I don't wanna get hurt! So stop doing that. Quit acting like theres nothing wrong when everything is!"

Our parents burst in the kitchen confused and concerned.

"Whats wrong" his dad asked. A few tear stains were left on my red cheeks. I shook my head focused on Niall.

"Nothing. At least according to Niall." And with that, I ran upstairs, locked the door, and wanted to disappear.
