Finding Her (Niall Horan/1D)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

-

My attempts to be as normal as possible were probably the reason he noticed me.

"Haven't I seen you before?" He asked with a smirk painted across his face.

"Uhm, yeah, when I almost ran int-"

"Oh yes, that was you. Well, hello again!"

Something about his accent makes me want to continue the conversation just to hear his voice..

"Y-yes.. That was me. Hi.." Ugh why does my voice stutter so much.. It never used to be like that....

"So do you live around here?"

Well I guess maybe he wants to talk too..

"Yeah.. We moved in about a month ago.." I respond quietly with a sigh.

"Well that's awesome. I live here too." He speaks while pulling the gas pump from his car.

As I try to think of something to say he speaks again.

"I'm gonna go pay for my gas. So I guess I'll see you around!"

"Uhm yeah, okay... S-see ya." This stuttering has got to stop.

He waved goodbye and walked into the store.

My gas tank was finally filled up and so I returned the nozzle to the pump and payed at the pump. After my receipt came out, I got back in my car and drove off.

My radio was still on and this time another hard rock song came on. Once again I tapped my hand to the wheel to the beat of the music.

Never before had I imagined I'd listen to this type of music.

Never before had I pictured myself wearing a different style of clothing.

Never before had I thought I'd be shy around anyone.

Then again, never before had I thought I'd move.

Mystery Irish Boy's POV

-

When I returned from paying for my gas, the girl was gone.

Something about that girl intrigued me.

The way she talked.. She stuttered on her words.

Why should I care about her anyway.. Chances are I'll never see her again considering all the other millions of people in this bloody state.

I sat down in my car and started on my way back to the house.

On my dashboard I notice a yellow note.

'Don't forget to buy 2 spiral 3 subject journals for school'

I suddenly remember writing that note.

I suddenly remember school is starting Monday.

School. I wonder if that girl goes to school anywhere? Guess I'll find out eventually.

Allison's POV

-

After parking my car in the driveway at the new house, I grab my bags from the trunk and carry them upstairs to my room.

My father notices me as I walk in.

"Hey Allison! How were the schools?"

Oh yeah I don't even know what those places look like so...

"They looked huge."

I guess..

"Yes, the graduating class here is the size of the entire school you used to go to. So I'd say it's pretty big." He responded with a small smile.

After a few seconds of silence (me not responding), he speaks up again.

"Did you want anything for lunch? We made tacos a little while ago."

"Uh.. Not right now. When I'm hungry I'll go eat some."

"Okay." He smiled a caring smile and walked back to the garage where he was working. Probably still unpacking boxes.

I stepped in to my bedroom and put my new clothes in my closet.

They looked so different from all my patterned shirts and colorful jeans. The new clothes looked a bit... a bit plain.

I guess that's good, because I certainly don't want to be the center of attention at the new school.

I sat on my bad and pulled out a notebook and a pen. This is what I use to write letters to Rayleigh and all my other old friends.

While deciding on something to write to her about, I realize that she still hasn't texted me. She's probably hanging out with her other friends. The ones she gets to see on a daily basis. The ones that aren't me.

The realization then hits me. I'm gone, their lives continue spinning. I'm gone, my life gets flipped upside down, and it feels like "the old me" is missing.

I immediately start crying.

Why should I write a letter to her anyway?

As I close the notebook, I get a paper cut on my finger.

It actually didn't hurt that bad...

Wow that was weird.

Something about that accidental cut felt..... good.

Maybe feeling physical pain will take away the emotional pain I'm feeling inside..

Maybe..
