Stay. (A Niall Horan FanFiction)

Chapter 42

Sarah has been really busy up until Wednesday night with school, work, and soccer. Soccer would be ending in a few weeks anyway, just until the summer season. So at least that won't be getting in the way of anything anymore. She called Niall every night because she wasn't able to see him very much the past few days. He was busy as well. It just wasn't a good week to see each other.

He had texted her tonight about the plan for tomorrow. Tomorrow is Niall's birthday. Sarah was a bit nervous because she would be meeting Niall's parents and who ever else from his family that would be there. She was worried they might not like her for whatever reason. Parents usually did like her. She wasn't a bad person, she never gave adults a reason not to like her.

The plan was Niall was going to pick Sarah up around 7, and they would go there together.

It was 5 o'clock and she was curling her hair because it always took so long. Her ends were starting to look bad, so she would have to book an appointment with her hairdresser. A little over a half an hour later she was done. Some of the curls were too tight so she loosened them with her fingers before spraying her hairspray. After all the effort she put into her hair, she wasn't in the mood to put on a bunch of makeup. She just did a thin layer of black eye liner on her top lid, and a few coats of mascara.

She had an idea on what she wanted to wear. She put on her pair if burgundy jeggings, and an oversized white knit sweater. The sweater had holes in it, so she put a white tank top underneath. When she checked the time, it was a little past 6. She still had a whole hour to kill before Niall would be here.

Avery was sitting on the couch looking bored out of her mind when Sarah joined her. She was watching reruns of Four Weddings.

"Wanna play Mario Kart with me?" Sarah asked.

"I haven't played Mario Kart in months." She whined tilting her head back onto the couch.

*Niall's apartment

Niall and Harry were sitting down on the couch watching reruns of 1000 ways to die. It was the only thing remotely good that was on tv.

"So when are you going to pick up Sarah?" Harry asked.

"I'm leaving at a quarter to seven."

Niall saw Harry reach into his back pocket. He pulled out a condom. Harry tossed it to Niall.

"What's this for?" Niall was confused.

"Pretty sure you've had that talk before." Harry said not looking away from the screen.

"No I know what it's for I'm not stupid."

"Then why did you ask?"

"Because I don't know why you gave it to me smartass." He laughed.

"Just in case you and Sarah.. You know.."

"Oh god.."

"Niall," Harry faced Niall and put his hand on his arm. "Be safe." He put on a concerned face, but it was gone in two seconds.

"Why are we even friends?" Niall laughed at his friends stupidity.

"I'm not even sure to be honest." Harry said. He found this whole thing incredibly amusing.

*Sarah's apartment

"This is weird you're usually never home. Where's Chris?" The look on Avery's face when Sarah said Chris's name, gave Sarah the impression something was up.

"What's wrong?" Sarah saw Avery's eyes glaze over with tears. Avery leaned her head onto Sarah's lap and began to sob.

"He cheated on me." Her voice was shaky. Sarah ran her fingers through Avery's hair in an attempt to calm her down. "He was sitting on a bench in Central Park with some girl."
