I didn't know where to go, besides, they were all in my room.
I decided to just walk around school for a bit, but before I could, a familiar voice stopped me. It was Niall.
"Angel!" He called out
I walked over to him.
"What do you want?" I asked kind of rudely, but I honestly could care less right now.
"I need to tell you something. It's the uh secret.." Niall said, looking nervous
"Okay, what is it?" I asked, hoping it was good news. I've been through enough already.
"Come with me." Niall said taking my hand in his and dragging me along. The action made chills run up and down my spine and I felt my stomach in knots. What is he doing to me?
••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••
We walked into the parking lot and got into his car. I don't know where we are going.
"Where are we going?" I asked him
"You'll see" Niall said, his blue eyes glistening as the sun went down, the way Harry's did when he first took me to the waterfall. I felt the tears come up but I pushed them away.
After about 15 minutes of driving, we arrived to a place that was both familiar to both of us.
The treehouse.
When Niall and I were little, his dad made a tree house for us. It was ours and no one else could use it. It means a lot to us both because we spent most of our summers there together.
I smiled at the view I was getting, the sunset behind the treehouse looked absolutely beautiful. I love nature.
We both got out of the car and walked over to the ladder, which took us up to the inside of the treehouse.
We sat down where we usually did, in the bean bag chairs my mom bought us.
"Okay, let's get down to buisness" Niall said
I was beginning to get nervous, now.
"Angel, we have been friends since we were 4 years old. You don't know this, but in kindergarten, I had the biggest crush on you."
I laughed at his words
"You were the cutest little girl ever. As we developed our friendship, so did my feelings. We eventually started to get closer and closer. We grew up together, and my feelings still haven't faded, and by now we were in 7th grade together. You've had many boyfriends, and it broke my heart to see you with someone else. I'd always think to myself, why can't that be me? Were now in our first year of college together, still best friends, but my feelings, just never went away. I never told you because I knew it would ruin our friendship and I didn't know if you would feel the same. But now, all these years I've been so stupid. Because if I didn't tell you, I would never know the real answer. I would never know if you loved me the way I loved you. I've never had the confidence to tell you I felt this way because I was always running away from the fear that came after it. But now, I'm not afraid anymore. I can't hold it in anymore. I need you to know. Angel Sophie Hood, I'm in love with you."
I definitely wasn't expecting that. I don't know what to say. What do I say to him?
"Listen Niall, I don't know right now. I'm still in love with Harry. But I also want to test my feelings with you, but not now. I have too much going on in my life and I just had my heart broken. I'm not ready yet. But I do love you Niall. I just want to take things one at a time for now. Maybe later." I said, kissing him on the cheek.
I whispered "maybe later"
I looked at his blue eyes and I didn't know what to feel. I'm absolutely in love with his eyes. Before he could say anything, I did something totally unexpected.
I crashed my lips on to his and he responded to the kiss, trying to slip his tongue inside my mouth for an entrance. I let him in and our tongues basically had a war against each other for a good 10 minutes. I pulled away before anything got out of hand.
I completely forgot about Harry during that entire kiss. I completely forgot where I was and the situation I was in. For that entire kiss, it was just me and Niall. No one else. Regret started to kick in. Am I leading him on?
"Niall I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that I-I--" I stuttered before Niall cut me off
"Hey Angel, listen. How did that feel?" Niall asked
"It felt..amazing" I said
"Well then, it was the right thing. You aren't leading me on. I get that you are feeling a little guilt, but that's just because you are heart broken and you don't want to hurt me. If you don't feel comfortable with it, then that's fine. It's your feelings and your life. If you don't love me back, that's fine. I'll get over it. But if you do, that's even better. Whenever you are ready, let me know. I love you Angel, always have, always will." Niall said
We spent the night at the treehouse, and I couldn't help but think.
This is how I wish it always was, just me and him.
