"The One" A Niall Horan Fanfiction

Keep Driving

Niall's POV

I make reservations at a fancy restaurant at 8:25, it's about 34 miles away, but I hear the food is "to die for." I give the person on the phone a few instructions for when we arrive. I get in the shower to start to get ready. I'm glad Sammie said something. I was thinking that she wasn't responding because I kissed her, which I know sounds ridiculous. I take a 30 minute shower to make sure I'm as clean as I can be. When I get out I see a dumbass on the couch. "Where are you going?" Lou asks. "I'm going out with Sammie." I tell him. "You're joking right?" He laughs turning his head slightly towards me. "No I'm not dipshit. So can you shut the fuck up? I'd like to be happy when I pick her up." I raise my voice. He looks at me a bit shocked then looks away. I head to my room to get dressed. I pick out my black pants and blazer and grab my purple tie out of my drawer. I stare at the outfit. "This looks great." I say aloud to myself. I get dressed completely and look at myself in the mirror. I admire how I look when I hear a knock on the door.

"Don't you look dashing!" Lou exclaims with slight sarcasm. "Do I need to change?" I ask genuinely concerned. "No. You look great." He says with sincerity. "Niall, I'm sorry." I turn towards him slightly shocked. "What?" "I'm sorry I've been treating you horribly for the past few days. I'm sorry for everything I said about Sammie." He apologizes getting quieter. "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?" I ask him readjusting my tie. "Seeing Izzie and having her tell us that her friendship is over made me realize that I don't want to lose my friend. I don't know what I would do if we stopped being friends." I walk over to him and punch him in the arm. "Ow! What the fuck was that for?!" Lou yells grabbing his red arm. "That was for thinking we would stop being friends." I laugh which causes him to laugh too. We give each other a hug and pull away. "Thanks Niall. Love you mate." "Love you too asshole." We laugh again and I proceed to finish getting ready.

At about 7:10 I get in the car. I know it's early but I want to make sure we get to the restaurant on time. I head off listening to my music thinking about how this night could go, and I pray that nothing goes wrong.
I get to Sammie's place at about 7:15, it's not too far from mine and head upstairs to her flat. I don't bother knocking on the door, I was thinking she might still be getting ready so I can let myself in. The handle turned to my surprise and I slowly opened the door. I look around and see Sammie on the couch dressed in a beautiful, one strap, purple dress reading to her hearts delight. "Knock knock" I say pretending I knocked. She looks up and smiles, "Come on in. I just have to finish this chapter." She then returned to her book. I took a peek and noticed she only had about a page left. And I sit down next to her. She puts the book down in no time and turns to me, "I'm sorry. I always have to finish the chapter I'm on before putting the book down." "No it's ok," I say reassuring her,"What is the book about?" She smiles staring at the cover. "It called His Twin, and it's about this girl, Brielle, who meets twins and starts to like one of them. Tristan, the guy she likes, is good and sensible...his twin Brennan, is devious and unmanageable. The book is unpredictable, so you don't know what happens next. Apparently the author, Brook Dew, herself never knew how her story was going to play out. It's a wonderful read." She finishes staring at me with head on her fist. "Sounds like a good book," I say smiling to her, "Are you by any chance ready to go? You look like you are." She looks around and spots her shoes, and goes over to pick them up. "I am now."

We get in my car and sit quietly. I wasn't sure what to say. 10 minutes pass and it seems like an eternity. "Sorry, I've had some things going on in my life." Sammie says finally opening up. "Yeah I know." I say without realisation. "What do you mean you know?" She says in concern. I nearly choked after remembering what I said. "Sammie, we uh, we ran into Izzie." I pause, "she told us everything." She stared at me for a while, then looked away without saying a word. More time passes when she finally says something, "I-I can't believe I lost her." And she breaks down, her head falls into her hands. I reach over to grab her arm and I miss. She continues crying for some time, but I don't really know what to do. I keep driving for a minute thinking of a plan, when I finally come to a conclusion. "I'm going to turn around." I say softly. "No! Don't!" She says immediately bringing her head up. "I want to go to dinner and forget about everything. Please, let's keep driving." I turn to my left and gaze into her beady eyes for only a second. "If that's what you want to do Love." And I keep driving.
