The whole days goes by and all I do is sit on my bed, watching the clock. The hours have flown by and my heart rate beats faster and faster as seven o'clock nears closer.

6:57...6:58...6:59....7:00

Nothing. No knock at the door. No text or call saying he's isn't leaving me. I even give him five more minutes. Maybe he's just running late to my dorm room? It's when the clock displays seven ten that all my hope dies within me. I give in and let the rush of tears stream down my face and on to my lap.

He's chosen football and we're broken up.

Chapter 35

Niall's POV

I have no idea what to do. My brain is still processing what just happened. She walked out..and I let her.

How could I be so fucking stupid?

I'm still standing directly in front of the door, facing it as if waiting for her to open the door again and kiss me like nothing happened.

But something did happen, and she's furious. She's mad enough that she warned me that we will be through if I don't give her an answer by seven.

My mind must be going fucking insane because I find myself day dreaming about a genie granting me one wish. My wish is to have the past month start all over. I would have quickly denied Mr. Andrews' offer for coming to London, and I would have never thought about switching schools. I wouldn't have gotten in this whole mess with Bailey, and she would be with me right now.

As I'm standing here as still as a statue watching the door, I realize how idiotic it was of me to even think about playing for London University. I don't see myself without her. Five months ago, I never thought I'd fall in love in my junior year of college. But here I am, thinking to myself that I would do anything to get her back. Anything.

The worst part is, I've lost Bailey before. She's too fragile to hurt, yet I've done it two times. She isn't going to forgive me this time. Why would she? Bailey is smart and nice and adorable enough to succeed in life and find a better man without me.

She doesn't need another man. She has me, my subconscience bites back inside my head.

I need to cool down. I'll end up fighting myself if these thoughts continue to run through my brain.

My feet begin to move towards the circular object laying on the floor. I pick it up and head out the door. I need to calm down before I talk to Bailey. I'll be sure to clear my mind while kicking it around on the field and come to a conclusion. I pack my phone to keep track of time while I'm there.

Football is what got you into this mess, I growl at myself. This may be stupid, but it's the only thing I know that will calm me down.

The lights shining above the stadium are already turned on when I arrive. The sun is slowly setting to the side of me. Thankfully, the field is empty and I jog on to the grass, carrying the ball along with me. I dribble the ball towards the huge net and aggressively kick it in.

I don't know how I'm going to get her back..but I'm determined to do it. I'm jogging up and down the field as my thoughts go back to her. I wonder what she's doing right now. She's probably wondering where the fuck I am and getting more pissed at me by the second. I know I have to think about what my final decision is within a few hours. Bailey and Rob are both waiting to hear what I've decided. I want to stay so that I can be with Bailey because I love her. However, the other side of me wants to follow my dreams and become noticed by professional coaches. One day, kids are going to be running around wearing my jersey. I wanted to be a football player since I can remember. Do I really want to give it all up for a girl?
