Niall and I didn't talk after he apologized. I guessed I forgave him, but I couldn't understand why he didn't just tell me Liam knew. I had a hard time believing he didn't want to upset me because I told Haley without permission.
And the strange way he griped the wheel. I was still pretty pissed about everything and he could tell. I had no intent on hiding it. He deserved to know.
We barely said goodbye before I realized that I had left my car at IHOP. What the hell!? How do you forget a car? The rush of everything with Niall and Liam made me completely forget. Id have to call Haley so she could pick me up & drop me back off at my car. I would've called Niall but I didn't feel like seeing him again. Not right now anyway.
I was surprised to find my mother surrounded by a million papers when I walked into the house. Her hair was wrapped in one of the sloppiest buns I think I've ever seen and her phone was smushed between her shoulder and ear. She scribbled furiously obviously writing down whatever the person on the phone was saying.
Id completely forgotten she was planning a wedding.
I frowned at how stressed she looked, and as much as I should've been helping, I refused to help her break me up with Niall.
"Hey sweetie," she greeted me hanging up the phone.
"Someone's been busy," I noticed still taking in all the papers.
"Planning a wedding is harder than I thought," she sighed trying to smile. I smiled back at her through the pain.
"Where's Mr-"
"Work," she answered my question before I could answer. "Always working.." she looked away.
"Well what are you up to? And where have you been," she asked me now realizing I wasn't in my room.
"Niall invited me to breakfast. I didn't know where you were so I didn't wanna call & distract you from whatever you were doing." She nodded trying to hide her suspicions.
"Just a normal, regular breakfast?" I chuckled.
"Yes mother. Plus we weren't alone. His friends were there." I thought about the word "friends". Was Liam even a friend, or just someone who didn't know how to take a hint that he wasn't wanted?
"Well good. Are you busy?" Oh no. No way was I helping her with wedding stuff. Otherwise known as assisting her in Niall's and I's break up.
"Im gonna see if Haley can go to the mall with me." I began to back away towards the stairs.
"Oh.." Her phone rang. "Hello?"
I ran upstairs to call Haley.
"Hello?" She answered sounding shaky. Nervous even.
"Haley? You ok? You don't sound like yourself."
"Yeah Im fine," she rushed. "Whats going on. Aren't you at breakfast?"
"Not anymore. I left my car in the lot at IHOP. Could you drive me there and then I was hoping we could head to the mall."
"Yeah sure. Give me 20 minutes." I nodded, then realized she couldn't see me but she had hung up.
It was then I had realized that even though I had spent my morning going to IHOP, I hadn't eaten anything. My stomach growled at the thought.
*Are you ok?* Niall texted. Was I ok?
*I don't know. I guess so.*
*Well Im really sorry.*
*You said that already.*
*Still angry huh?* I decided not to text him back. I didn't want to say anything out of anger that I didn't even mean.
The familiar sound of Haley's car horn sounded outside of my window. I couldn't help my smile as I sprung off of my bed and down the stairs.
"Bye mom" I called out before shutting the door behind me.
Haley sat behind the wheel of her bright pink car smiling, bubbly as usual.
"You could've dressed up," she scolded noticing my plain black leggings & T-shirt.
"I Didn't realize I had to impress you," I answered. She rolled her eyes.
"Just get in." I climbed in.
"Im assuming breakfast didn't go well," she accused purposely not looking at me as she started up the car.
"It didn't, but I'll tell you when we get to the mall. I just wanna relax right now," I said reclining my chair back.
"And I didn't realize I was your chauffeur," Haley declared. I waved her off, closing my eyes as the sound of Demi Lovato's voice filled the car.
