Drift (Sequel to Louis' Little Sister) *Complete*

The Break

We ended at the studio after we sang that song. Just as I was packing up my stuff to go home, Camden ran up to me.

"What happened?" she asked me. "You seemed like you were going to cry when we were singing."

I looked at her quickly. "Niall and I got into a fight." I stated simply. Her mouth dropped to for an 'o' shape and her features immediately softened.

"Oh, Jamie! Come here!" She opened up her arms and I walked straight into them, trying to hold back my tears. "It was about him drifting away, wasn't it?"

I could only nod as the tears fell down my face.

"What's up?" Oh great. Mike and Carston are here.

I could hear Camden quietly explaining what happened to them and I heard both the boys gasp. Two more sets of arms wrapped around me.

"Jamie sandwich!" Mike yelled, earning a laugh from me. They all smiled at me and we let go of the death-trap of a hug.

"I'm...going to go...home." I said quietly. They all nodded and I walked out of the studio and to my car.

I turned on the radio and 'Kiss You' was on. I quickly changed the station to a different pop station.

"And here is One Direction's, 'What Makes You Beautiful!'" The talk show guy announced. I groaned in frustration. The radio is making it hard to forget about the fight that I was trying to drive away from my mind.

   I turned the radio off and drove in silence for the last 5 minutes ride to my house.

   I walked in to my house to see Niall sitting on one of the bar stools at the counter. His head snapped up when he heard the door slam closed.

   His eyes were puffy and red and he had tear stains down his cheeks. His hair was flying everywhere around his head in every direction.

   "Hey," he croaked. Even his voice sounded horrible.

    "Hi..."

    He shifted in his seat uncomfortably. "Thanks for bringing me in."
  
    I shrugged my shoulders. "I wasn't going to make you stay out there, to be honest, I thought you had gone home last night."

   He stood up and walked towards me slowly. "I couldn't leave knowing you hated me."

   I shook my head violently. "I don't hate you. Yes, I am so mad at you, I can't put it into words, but I can never hate you." His face spread into a smile at my words.

    He came over and wrapped me into a tight hug. "I love you, baby girl." My breathing hitched as he said this.

   "Niall..." I pulled back from the hug. "I think I need some time. I don't hate you, but this is going to take time, Niall..."

   His face dropped as soon as the words excepted from my mouth. His smile turned into a frown and tears formed in his eyes.

   "You-You're breaking up with me?" A tear escaped his eye and I wanted nothing more than to wrap him into a hug.

   "No, no no no! Well.." I trailed off. "There's a difference..." He looked at me confused. "Taking a break means that we just put the relationship on hold, nothing more. We distance each other from the other and see if we both still love each other once one of us ends it."

   "I'll never stop loving you, Jamie! Can't you see that?" he exclaimed.

   "I'll never stop loving you either! But Ni, what you said...it hurts..." His face softened and he came towards me.

   "I know, and I am so, so sorry for what I said. I know that what I say won't help it. But please," he pleaded. "Don't make us break up. I love you."

   I walked up to him and put my hand to his cheek. "You'd still be my boyfriend, but we would just be apart for a while. It'll be hard, I get that, but I think we need this." Tears spilled from his eyes. He lifted his hand to mine and held it there, leaning into my touch.

   "Please...please don't make me leave you..." he let more tears go down his face. I wiped them away quickly.

   "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it was meant to be, if it doesn't return, it was never yours in the first place."

   He looked at me again, still crying. "I will always come back to you. Always and forever."

   I let a few of my own tears go down my face now. He wiped them awAy as I had. He leaned forward and planted a small kiss on my forehead.

   "I love you." He turned around and went to the door. He pulled it open before turning and giving me a small wave and a sad smile.

   The door closed behind him.

    "I love you, too." I whispered to the quiet house.

   Then I fell to my knees and sobbed, crying myself to sleep.
