Stay (Niall Horan)

Chapter 10

"See you later babe." Sammi turned and pecked me on the lips.

Once she walked inside I pulled away and headed toward a car shop. After about 20 minutes, I arrived at "Joe's Auto Repair".

"Hey man." I walked inside and saw my old friend from high school. He was wearing a blue mechanic suit and his brown hair was fluffed up.

"Hello Niall! I haven't heard from you in awhile. Whats going on?"

"Eh nothing much. Just some idiots smashed my window." I said while leaning against the white wall.

"Really? People are so foolish."

"Anyways, how have you been Lou?"

"Alright I guess. Julie and I broke up..." He trailed off.

"What happened?" I asked while giving Louis a quick hug.

"I don't know honestly. She thought I was cheating on her with some girl named Stacy. I haven't even talked to her in about 5 years!" Louis' eyes filled with water. "I was going to propose to Julie but I lost her."

My face began heating up.

"Wait Lou, does that Stacy girl have blonde hair and work at-"

"McDonalds. Yes." He cut me off.

"I know who that is." I put my head down in shame.

"Well make sure you tell her she ruined my life!" Louis' voice cracked and tears were about to spill over. It's hard to believe Lou and Julie broke up. They dated for about 3 years and then Stacy came along. What is her problem? I'm ashamed I even dated her!

"Alright Niall. Lets get your car fixed!" Joe and Louis called from the back of the shop.

I pulled my car into the garage and handed the men my keys. Louis and I exchanged phone number and I invited him over my house to watch soccer.

"This may be awhile, so you might want to go take a seat in the waiting room." Joe said from behind my car.

I did as I was told and decided to take a power nap on the chair.

Sammi's POV:

This was the seventh time I called Niall and still no answer. My job ended an hour ago so I was left stranded on the side walk. How could he forget to pick me up? I sighed and pulled out my wallet. There was just enough money to pay for a bus ride.

Just as it began to rain, a big blue bus pulled up and I gladly got on. There was only three people on the bus. A blonde girl with soaking wet hair sat in the very back, so I decided to walk up to her.

"Hey I don't mean to bother you but are you okay?" She looked up and started crying.

Immediately I recognized who she was. It was the girl that was flirting with Niall at McDonalds. I took a step back and thought 'Should I help her? Or should I leave her in the dust for trying to get with my boyfriend?' I decided it would be best to let her alone. Although I did make small talk with her.

"Hey you're Niall's new girl right?" Her expression changed from sad to an almost evil, jealous face.

"Yes, I guess? What do you mean by new?" I was pretty thrown back by her question.

"Oh silly girl. You didn't hear? Well long story short, Niall gets a new 'lover' every 3 or so weeks. He'll act like he wants to be your boyfriend, then he gets in your pants and leaves."

"W-What?" I asked.

"Yeah. Sorry to tell you that. I didn't want you to have to find out the hard way." She said smiling.

I didn't even answer her. Instead I leaned against the window and questioned myself. 'How could I be so stupid?' The bus stopped a few feet from my apartment. "Have a good day." The bus driver said before closing the door. The rain kept falling hard and by the time I got to my door, I was completely soaked.

I reached in my purse for the keys and pushed the door open. I was so angry at Niall. Even though we have only dated for about a week, I was really upset because he lied to me. I've never been in a real relationship so I don't really know how everything works. Niall did seem so straight forward the first day we met. I mean, he did try to take me home...

The sun was beginning to set, as it was almost 8 o clock. Still no sign of Niall. I laid down on the couch and turned on the tv. My mind kept racing and I began thinking about the ways I was going to tell him off. I am NOT going to be manipulated by some guy.

An hour passed when Niall finally got here.

"Hey Sam I'm here!" He called and set a bag on the coffee table.

I sat with my arms folded over my chest in silence.

"What's your problem?" The blonde boy asked with an annoyed tone but I still ignored him.

"Well okay then, I guess I'm going to have to tickle you." He leaned down and put his hands on my hips but I pushed him away.

"Okay Sammi what's wrong with you? Please tell me."

"Oh Horan," I laughed and stood up. "You know exactly why I'm upset. My body hovered over him as he was sitting on the couch.

"You only want to get in my pants. I've heard stories of you. I'm disgusted. Now leave my house." I was being very assertive.

"Woah woah Sam. What are you talking about? Who told you that?"

"That Stacy girl." I spat. "You know what? She may be telling the truth."

"What! No! Why would you believe her? She's just jealous cant you tell? Yeah I may have slept with her and yeah I dated her but -" I cut him off.

"Oh so you did? I'm done Niall."

"That was in the past Sam. I really want a chance to get to know you and care for you!"

"Make me believe it then." I coughed out. Niall walked over to where I was standing, grabbed my face and looked me dead in the eyes.

"Sam. I don't want to even look at another girl. You are the only one I'm focused on right now." And with that, he pecked my nose.

"Fine. You win!" I sighed and walked over to the bag.

"What's in here?". I asked pulling out a box of take out food.

"Chinese food. I hope you like it."

"Oh yeah Niall, Why didn't you answer your phone today when I called?" I shoved more chicken in my mouth.

"Oh crap," He said while patting both his front and back pockets. "I must have left it at my house whenever I came over. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I just rode the bus home thats all."

Night time rolled around quickly and Niall went home.
