My One and Only (Diall/Zemi)

Chapter 13

Demi’s P.O.V

Why is Elaine here? This is the first thought that appeared in my head. I looked as they unpacking their things out of boxes. They didn’t realise that I was here just yet. My dad saw me as he carried one of the boxes into the house. He smiled at me, then he turned around and made eye contact with Elaine and the other lady. Elaine looked at me frowning in surprised.

My dad walked into the room signalled me upstairs and into his room. We sat on the bedside and my dad spoke. “Demi, I need to tell you something very important, please stay quiet while I talk.” He paused for a moment, I nodded. I think I have an idea of what he’s going to say.

“You have seen the two ladies outside right?” I nodded. He continued. “They will be living with us, and you – are not going back to the city.”

“What?” I can’t help but gasped. “But why?” I frowned.

 “Because… Demi, we will talk about this later.”  He said and walked out of the room, leaving me there blank headed.

“Wait! Dad!” I said chased up to him. “what about school?” I asked.

“You’ll be going to the old one.” He said and walked down stairs.

What…?

I start to think about the possibilities, and the relationships between Dad and Elaine and the unknown lady. And I can tell, there’s something that dad tried to hide.

I made my way back to my room, thinking now is the time to talk to Niall, and explain everything to him. I dialled his number and waited for response. He’s not picking up? I dialled again, and the same thing happened for the next few calls.

Why is he not picking up? Is he angry at me for what I did the other day? Sigh, probably, if I was in his position. And I had no right to get angry just because he likes Elaine, but why did he confessed to me? He told me he was being serious, but was he really?

My phone rang stopped me from thinking. I picked up, and it was Niall.

“Hey, Demi.” Said Niall

“Hi.”

“I’m sorry.” We said at the same time.

“Sorry, Demi, I should of being there for you.” Said Niall.

“No, it’s okay. Did Zayn tell you all about it?” I asked

“Yeah, He did. I wish I was the one who’s there for you instead of Zayn.” He sighed.

I felt my heart pounding rapidly, slightly blushing. All my doubts seems to goes away somehow.

“Niall, I’m going to tell you a bad news” I said paused for a little and said “I’m not going to Lynstall anymore.”

“Why? What happened?” he asked worriedly.

I felt like telling him everything that’s going on, and everything that I’ve been struggling through. But, should I? I don’t want to annoy him with my problems. I don’t know how to react anymore. So instead I said “it’s just some family issues.”

“Oh okay.” He said sounded a bit upset.

“Niall, don’t worry, we are still friends and we can still hang out.” I said trying to comfort him.

Niall’s P.O.V

So, to you, I’m still a friend? The way she act and the way she spoke sometimes makes me think she likes me, but sometimes the other way around. I think I’ve clearly showed her how I feel towards her.  But she never said she likes me or anything. I don’t know why she doesn’t want to tell me about moving school, I know this might be a bit personal. But, I think we are close friends, she can trust me, right? So right now, I just can’t help but ask her.

“Demi, have you ever liked me? Like me more than a friend?” I asked wishfully, hope that I’ll get a response this time, and she’ll feel the same way like I do.

There’s a long pause.

“I I- like you too, but how about, how about Elaine? She asked stuttered. I can tell she’s blushing on the other side of the phone.

Oh thank goodness. I felt like dancing around the room like a madman. But, I acted calm and said. “Demi, remember, I told you, I don’t like her in that way.”

“But, I overheard the conversation you guys had when we’re at the beach house.” she said softly.

“I only liked her as a friend. Demi, please trust me.” I said, more like in a begging way.

“Okay, I will.” She said.

Is this a right time to ask her out? Will she think it’s going to fast? But, I felt it’s like now or never. I took a deep breath, brace up and said. “Demi, will you go out with me?”

Demi’s P.O.V

For somehow, I’m not sure about my feelings anymore, the time when he choose Elaine over me when we both drown somehow stuck in my mind, like a tie. I don’t want to ask him, because I don’t want to bring things up, and because I’m afraid to hear him personally telling me that Elaine is more important.

I just don’t know how to react anymore. Part of my brain telling me to say yes, but part of it kept replaying the scene of Niall choosing Elaine. It’s just hard to forget, even though I tried not to think about it. The desperate feeling I had, the feeling that I want to give up, and the reason why I’m feeling that way. And, for some reasons, Zayn just popped up in my head.

I really don’t know what to do, there’s just too many things going on around recently, too many emotions are mixed. Niall’s decision on saving me or Elaine; my mother’s death; living with Elaine and the unknown lady; moving school and Niall’s confession.

After I thought deeply and thoroughly, I finally come up with a best response. “Sorry, Niall, but I’m not ready for it, please give me a few days.”
