GAME ON (A N.H Story)

Chapter 18

None of us said a single word during the whole ride. Niall was just in the car when I ran out, and with one look at me, he started the car.

I stared out the window watching all the buildings and trees zoom by. Tears were helplessly falling down my cheeks. My thoughts were clouded, and soon my eye sights blurred.

Niall was the first to break the silence.
"So, um.. I just drove to the first place I thought of."

It was only then I realised the car was stopped, parked on a beach. The sign on the road said a place I don't recognize. Instincts told me we've been driving for hours. I must have cried the whole ride, because now my eyes felt swollen and I felt exhausted.

Don't cry  Hayley. Oh, don't you dare cry. He is not worth crying for. That evil man who killed him and abandoned your mom. You knew it was going to happen someday. He never loved us. He never loved any of us.

I took a deep breath. I am going to be strong. I can make it through this. Walking away from that evil man is not hard.

You never loved him anyway. He was never your dad.

I was still in the car. Still in my dress. With a deep breath, I took in my surroundings.
"Why are you here Niall"

"I, um.. Honestly don't know." He looked so lost and  confused. His hands went through his dirty blonde hair. "I was just grabbing my phone from the car, and you came all teary, and.." He sighed. "I just thought we could go for a little drive. Take a break. Since, you know, we're now friends."

I looked at him curiously. He did not say anything.

A part of me was relieved. I did really need a break. A break from all the cameras, all the drama. Just the thought of taking a break from the fake dating thing was very relieving.

"Okay." I knew this was a wrong thing to do, but it felt so right. I had to. I was actually kind of glad I'm not alone right now. Who knows what crazy thing I would have done.

"Okay?" He said, more like a question. Quite unsure if he'd heard me right.

I forced out a smile. "Okay, let's do this. Have fun. Take a break." And without waiting for an answer, I jumped out of the car.

The sky was orangish blue. I could tell it was a little after sunset. It was getting darker by the minute, but it was okay.

I ran down to the beach shore. When I looked back, I saw Niall getting two towels from the stand. I smiled to myself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We sat side by side by a big rock by the shore. A towel was wrapped around me.  I stared at the rising tide. There was a long silence, but a comfortable one.

"It's so peaceful here."  Niall looked surprised that I was the first to speak. Then, he quickly recovered.

"I know."

"I wish my life was like this, you know?" When he didn't comment anything, I turned to face him, only to find that he was already looking at me.
"Just because my dad is some billionaire doesn't mean I've got everything." I turned my eyes back to the sea. "I haven't got a family."

I didn't want him to notice my eyes getting watery. Thinking about Mike and mom made me cry all over again. I never told anyone about them. Not even Ava. Well, not the details at least.

"It's okay Hayley." He must have noticed, because then, he said. "You know, sometimes, you just gotta let it all out. Cry until you can't cry anymore. Scream, if it helps even a little."

Tears were already streaming down my cheeks. I made a quick attempt to wipe it, however failed. He caught my wrist, and put it gently back down on my lap.

I pulled my legs together and hugged it closely to my chest, curled up into a ball.

I've never been open to somebody before. Strangely, Niall made me so willing to talk about it. He made me feel safe.

I turn and look at Niall. "Can I trust you." I ask him.

Niall takes my hand in his and says, " You can tell me anything Hayley."

I turn my head, facing the sea again. I sigh. It's time for storytime

" My grandparents first met on the Titanic. They were both 18. They were so young and fell in love. When titanic sank, they were separated, but never forgot each other. Fate heard them and 4 years later they met again, and this time they married each other. They had three children, but none them were headed to be a buisness man. There was this 9 year old orphan that would come and wash there car. My grandparents took him in and treated him better than their own kids. They raised him and gave him everything. That boy grew up to be a very successful and rich man."

I take a breath and continue, " That boy was none other than my father" I turn around to see Niall shocked.

I sniffed. "It was a 3 years before I was born. My parents and my grandparents were on a vacation. They were on a huge cruise ship. It was the same day that Mike was born, when my grandfather died. My dad was devasted And his company went in bankrupt for some time ." I felt Niall's arms pull me into him slightly. It was reassuring.

"Because of that, my dad thought Mike was a curse. He just blocked him out of his life. Just like that. 20 years later, Mike was suddenly killed in a car crash. We all thought it was an accident, but the truth is that my dad mudered him. My mom found out, and she and dad divorced. Mom suddenly moved out, and I had no clue what was going on. My dad hates my mom from the moment mike was born because she gave birth to him. One night, my dad came home very drunk and told me everything. But he also told me that I was a mistake. That I wasn't supposed to be born."

By now I was crying all over again. " Hayley I........" Niall starts but I cut him off.

" I don't want your pity Niall. I'm trusting you with this. No one knows about it." I say

Niall just hugs me tightly, while I sob.

" please, I want to go home." I say

But I knew better than that now..

There is no home.
