Forbidden Love

Trust~21

I woke up Saturday morning with 15 missed calls and 6 text messages. All from who? Niall, of course.

I called him back & he answered on the first ring.

"Grace?!" He answered frantically.

"Niall? Whats wrong."

"Open the door." Just then I heard a loud banging at the front door. I stood from my bed and let down my hair, my curls falling down my back looking messy but presentable. The house was quite as I wandered down the staircase and to the front door. I couldn't believe this was how my Saturday was starting.

Considering it was still morning Niall looked incredibly stressed when I pulled open the door. Before I could invite him inside he barged in and marched straight to the living room.

"Hello to you too," I snapped.

"Is he here?" He was angry which only made me upset.

"Who?"

"You know who Im talking about!"

"No Niall. I don't." He crossed his arms like a child. He was sure acting like one. A crazy one.

"Is everything alright?" I turned to see my mother at the top of the staircase looking down concerned. I had forgotten she was home. "Good morning Niall." He calmed down a bit barely waving at her. Then she turned her attention to me as if to ask 'Whats he doing here?' But honestly, I didn't know myself.

"Niall can we speak outside please," I muttered through clenched teeth. He nodded, heading for the door. My mom started towards her red night gown flowing behind her.

I slammed the door behind me as I stepped out into the cool outside.

"What is wrong with you," I snarled. It felt like I had been asking both him and myself that lately...

"Was he here?"

"Who!?!" He was really pissing me off?

"Liam." Liam? I wasn't expecting that.

"Liam? Why would he be here?" My tone softened a little and so did his eyes. Niall sighed running his fingers through his hair realizing how ridiculous he sounded.

"That was what he told me." I could almost laugh at his stupidity.

"And you believed him?"

"You weren't answering your phone," he defended.

"I was asleep. At least I was until you came knocking on the door yelling like a psycho."

"I didn't realize your mom was home," his voice a whisper.

"Well ya know she does live here," I snapped sarcastically. He looked away embarrassed.

"Im sorry...again."

"I don't know what to say to my mom."

"About what?"

"You being here. She's gonna ask." His revealed his frustration and regret.

"Why would Liam say he was here," I wondered aloud. Something flashed in his eyes. Fear? I couldn't tell.

"He's like that."

"Whats going on between you two," I finally brought myself to ask.

"Nothing," he murmured turning his back to walk away. Really? Before I could think I grabbed his arm and pulled him as hard as I could, my strength surprising him.

"Excuse me? You came to MY house, woke ME up, woke MY MOM up, yell at me over something stupid and now have the nerve to walk away from me?! I don't think so!" Who did he think he was. "And I deserve an answer about your creepy friend."

Again, he ran his fingers through his hair as I stood in front of him still waiting with my arms folded.

"Just trust me," he finally whispered. Was he drunk or something? I was so confused. There was a moment of silence as he stood nervous and stressed. I focused on remaining calm.

"But do you trust me?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"You went crazy yesterday when I talked to Harry even though he knew about you. Then this morning you barge in here thinking Im with Liam. How can I trust you when you don't trust me?" I could tell my words and reasoning had caught him off guard.

"Im sorry."

"You're always sorry. Its starting to get old."

"What are you thinking," he asked suddenly afraid. I shook my head and shrugged.

"Just go. I'll tell my mom you thought I broke your guitar." I was getting too good at these lies. He nodded, awkwardly turning to walk away.

Yelling at Niall was the worst way to start my day. Especially my Saturday. Images of him flooded my mind as I reached to open the door.
