(Your P.O.V.)
After Niall dropped me off, I went inside and plopped myself on the couch. Loraine was coming down the stairs. I guess she didn’t expect me to be home, so she looked a little surprised. She gave me a sly look then came over and sat in front of me and took my hands in hers. “Soooo.” she says all awkwardly.
"So, what?" I ask. What was she up to??
"Aren’t you going to tell me how the date went, or are you gonna have me beg for details?" she said annoyed.
"What is there to say?" I ask. "Niall and I are dating now so I guess that’s something." I shrug. She rolls her eyes.
"Ugh. Didn’t you have boyfriends in America?" she asks me. I had two boyfriends in my life. Ryan; who used to be my best friend. We broke up after he started to like my other best friend Jullie. And then there was Will; he was my longest boyfriend and we loved eachother a lot. But sadly, he had to move because his mom got a job in Arizona.
"Not really." I sigh. "I don’t wanna push things, ya know? I guess I don’t fangirl over things like this." I shrug and she smiles.
"Well, at least you two like eachother right?" I nod. "And you have all summer to get to know eachother." she says. "Now that you have a boyfriend, go get some friends. I hear there’s a cool music store in town."
"I’ll go check it out." I stand up. "Can I have some money first? I only have American money." she nods and gives me some cash. At least I think they call it cash. I grabbed my bag walked into town. It wasn’t a big town. It’s cool in it’s own way none the less. Finally, I found the music store!
When I walked in the room, it was like FLOODED with music of all kinds! There were CD’s, tapes, records and all the equipment. I just had to touch! I was like a kid in a candy store. After walking around the place, I became quite aware of where everything was. I was checking out some Michael Buble CD’s, when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and a man in his forties was waiting for me. “Can I help you?” I asked, as polite I could be.
"Yes," he said. "Do you know where the showtune records are?" I thought for moment.
"Ummm." I said. "Let me see. I think they’re over here." I lead him down a few aisles. and to some cassettes and records and junk. "Here we are."
"Thanks." he said with a smile.
"Any time." I chirp. I felt someone tap my shoulder again. I turn around to see a short chubby man with Manager name tag. "Yes?"
"You don’t work here do you?" he asked. "How do you know where everything was?"
"I just walked around and familiarized myself." I shrug.
"Would you like to work here?" he asked. "You get discount on all music."
"Deal!" I say. "I get started tomorrow!" We shake hands, I buy a Buble CD, and I go home.
ON MY WAY HOME……..
I was walking out of cafe or something minding my own business. I was just walking and some barbie looking girl with three followers started walking towards me. ( http://www.polyvore.com/small_town_girl/set?id=96074353 ) Just ignore them. Maybe they’re not even walking to talk to you. Oh no, they’re stopping right in front of me. I stop myself. “So, you’re New Girl. I’m Lucy.” the leader says.
"My name is (Y/N), not New Girl." I retort.
"I don’t care what your name is Newbie!" she spits. "Just stay away from my boyfriend, my girls, and me in general and we won’t have any problems. Got it?"
"Who’s the sorry soul?" I ask with a smirk.
She pops her gum. “Niall Horan.” she says. Whoa. What the heck was she smoking? Niall and I are dating! “He lives next door to you, so stay away! Clear?”
"Crystal." I growl. I push past them and as soon as I turn the corner, I take off sprinting. How could he do this to me? I trusted him!! Do you know how hard that was to do? Actually, it was easy cause I like him alot, but still! I thought he was different, but I guess I’m too dumb for Irishmen! I swing open my front door and run straight to my room. I jumped onto my bed, kick off my shoes, and cried. How could I be so stupid to say yes to dating him? Ugh! I want him out of my life and out of my life for good!! Apparently I dozed off, cause someone woke me up with their knocking. "Come in." I groan. Niall opens the door with a smile.
"Hey princess!" he sees my red eyes and looks concerned. "What’s wrong?"
"What’s wrong Niall?" I growl. "Why don’t you tell me. And I’m not your princess anymore." I sob.
"I don’t know what you mean." he says to me,
"I can’t take this anymore Niall!" I yell. "Why don’t you ask Lucy?!"
"What are you talking about?" he asks.
"You heard me!" I yelled. "Now get out!"
"But-"
"Out!" I yelled and threw a pillow at him. He dodged it and left the house. I threw myself back down on the bed and cried. I cried for missing my parents. I cried for leaving the safety of the United States. And, I cried for the fact that I just lost Niall.
