Amanda: "That went well..." I said under my breath. "Hey, it's gonna be alright. I don't know Tom very well but I do understand when a guy needs to blow off some steam." Niall said while tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I smiled weakly still disappointed. "Maybe I just won't go..." I didn't want to lose Niall, Sarah, Tom, Harry, Liam, or Louis. They were ALL my best friends. Well at least in their own special way.
Niall was the one you go to for a smile. Sarah was the one you go to for an ear to talk to. Tom was the one you went to have a good movie day with. Harry was the shoulder to cry on. Liam was the one with advice. And Louis was the one who would make you laugh. All of them together we're just one giant best friend. I couldn't imagine a day without them.
"What do you mean you won't go? You need to go!" Niall exclaimed. "I just don't know what I would do with any of you. I'm also including the other three in on this. I mean... I do want to go-" "THEN GO!" Yelled Sarah. "GO TO LIVE IN FRANCE!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!! WE DON'T CARE AS LONG AS YOU ARE HAPPY!!! SO JUST GO!!" She didn't seem mad... she seemed like she really meant what she was saying. "Sarah, look how Tom reacted. How could I be happy knowing that you guys are like that? How am I supposed to be happy if I don't have my best friends?" I looked into her tear glossed eyes. "You don't care... you don't give a rat's patoody about us! YOU GO OFF AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE!!!" I looked down at the ground. "I'll go get Tom." Niall got up and left to find him.
"But Sarah don't you understand? I want to be in this crappy apartment with you. I want to love seeing you daily, not monthly." Both of our faces were covered in tears. "But I want you to go to France. Go to France. Go do what you love. Then I will always be happy." "Oh, Sarah." I ran over to her and we hugged. She sniffed," Tom will manage. He has me. I will keep him company." She said with a smile. "NO!!! NO YOU DID NOT!!!" I was so happy that both of my best friends are in love. She nodded. We screamed. "Okay okay. I'll go to France." I said. She smiled and we hugged.
"I found Tom." Me and Sarah turned around and Sarah jumped up and ran into Tom. He chuckled and they hugged. "Tom?" I shyly squeaked. "Oh Amanda." He said. He picked me up and we hugged while he spun me around. "I'm so sorry. I just couldn't imagine life without you in it. But I want you to be happy." I smiled and nodded. "I'm glad."
We all sat down. "I'm gonna go to France. I will talk to y'all every day. I promise." We talked more about our plans for when I will leave.
Once Tom and Sarah went to go get some ice cream, I sat down with Niall so we could talk. He was silent. "Niall tell me what's going on in your mind... please."
Niall: "I can't believe that right when we can be together... you have to leave." I couldn't even look into her eyes, it would only make me cry. "Niall... I understand. I really do. But you have to look at the opportunity that I have laying right in front of me!" I looked at her. "I do. I want you to go. But I mean even though I live in Mullinger, you will be too busy with school to pay attention to us." She took my hand. "Niall... I know this is how it will end up..." I looked at her. She was on the verge of a total breakdown. "Please don't say it." I could feel the lump in my throat. "Well what are we supposed to do Niall. Let time and distance rip us apart... or do it ourselves so there is no heartbreak."
We sat there for a good five minutes before I said, "I love you with all my heart. I know we could make it through this... but I will come back for you. I will let you go and you and I could start back from square one when you get back." I said. We stared into each other's eyes, "I would like that." She whispered. "I love you Niall." I smiled and kissed her on her forehead, "I love you, Amanda." We sat there rapped in each other's presence, not a single word left our mouths. "I need to go tell the boys." She nodded.
"See ya, leprechaun." She said. I chuckled, "See ya, 'merica." She laughed as I closed the door and her laugh turned into a sob. "I love you." I said as I walked out of the building. The day I got the love of my life... I set her free. Hoping, just hoping, she would find her way back to me.
