Letting Go (Niall Horan AU)

Chapter 7

Harry
...............................................



I can not believe Niall got to fuck her. Ugh why did we have to play that stupid game? I should've never invited her in the first place and none of this would've happened. I could've just asked her out maybe? Stupid , stupid, stupid!

I need some coffee. Now.

I decide Ill go to The Nook it's closest, besides the one on campus is more like sludge.

When I finally am at the small coffee shop I open the door and look up and am met with Octobers big brown eyes staring at me from across the room.

Great.

She quickly looks away and continues talking to the other girl who's with her..... Jenna?

I stop staring and walk over and make my order. I try to swiftly walk out but Tobys voice stops me.

"Harry?"

I turn around.

"Ya?" I can tell she's hungover, but she still looks adorable in a bun and that oversized black..... Wait..... Is that nialls jumper?

"Uh... If you see niall... Uh.... Can you tell him thank you for me?"

"Sure." I nod and walk away. I can barely here her call bye. Ugh stupid niall stupid me. The one decent girl who actually attends the god damned college fancies niall! Niall of all people. I can't believe I let this happen. He's just gonna break her. Just like every other girl he's ever been around.

The niall cycle: fuck her a few times, get her attached, then crush her and leave her to suffer.

He's my friend, but I have to admit he is probably the biggest asshole on campus. He's not someone you wanna be around at all. He's cold, angry, and unpleasant. But he's the bad boy. The one guy no girl ever turns down. Niall always gets his way. And nobody has ever not let him have his way, unless they intend to end up in a hospital or dead. And it's all my fault.

I shake away my thoughts of niall as I enter the frat house and walk up the stairs I bump into him. Just fucking perfect.

He gives me a quick "watch it." The continues his decent down the stairs.

I decide not to tell him thank you for Toby. He doesn't deserve it, I wish she knew he was just going to crush her.




Niall
.................................................


As I make my way down the stairs with Octobers purse and cell phone I bump into Harry. I quickly say watch it then run out if the house hoping he didn't notice her purse in my hand.

I make my way to my car and quickly start it then drive to her dorm.

The purse and phone are basically my excuse to see her. Wow I'm pathetic. Whatever I just need to know if she remembers that I brought her home last night.

I nervously knock on the door to 26b and October answers the door still wearing my jumper that is about 6 sizes to big for her. I can't help but feel a little happy.

Her eyes get wide at the sight of me.

"Uh.." I rub the back if my neck.

"I brought you your phone and purse."
I stammer.

"Uh... Oh... Uh thanks?" She kinda asks as she cautiously takes her belongings from my hands.

We kinda stand there awkwardly for a moment not knowing what to say.

"Thank you." She finally speaks.

"You already said that."

"No thank you for bringing me home last night."

I can't breathe. She does remember.

"Uh... It was no big deal really."

"Yes it was."

I can feel my cheeks go hot so I look down at my boots so she can't see.

"Can you do me a favor?" I ask.

"I guess...."

"Can you not tell anybody about that?"

"Why?"

I press my lips hard together and bite on my lip ring.

"Just don't." I try to say harshly and hope she doesn't. Then I walk away quickly away from this girl who is making me insane.
