You Can't Stop Love

Never Been in Love

Niall's POV:

"My dad wants me to marry Phillip, or find someone else to marry tomorrow. I thought Louis would be like my night and shining armor, but then I found out he was gay. It's all so messed up, and I'm getting married whether u want to or not." She explains. She's playing with the sleeves of her sweatshirt, looking very sad and nervous at the same time. "Could you run away?" I ask. She shakes her head. "Oh, I wish. I would take Bree, and you. You seem lovely. It would be so nice, we could all share an apartment or a town home and I would fall in love and get married to the love of my life. It would be so nice." She sighs. "But, that can't happen. My dad would find me, and he would carry me down the aisle. He'd handcuff me to Phillip." She shudders. "Oh, that's be terrible. He really is horrid, you know? You should meet him. Talk him out of marrying me." She laughs.

"That could never happen, he claims he loves me. I don't know why. How could you love someone that hates you so much?" She looks up at me, expecting an answer. "Love compels people to do weird things." I answer. She looks down again. "Oh. Well, I think it would be nice if it wasn't forced. Maybe I could love him if I tried. I'll have to learn to love him. It's a terrible situation to put someone in, don't you think?" I just nod, enjoying her talking.

"I've never been in love, but Bree says it's wonderful. Of course, Jaxson ended up kicked out of her life because he fancied me. It was terrible, telling her about him. She's such a gorgeous person, inside and out. I don't see why he did that to her. Oh, they'll be looking for me. I must go." She gets up and brushes leaves off of her pants, then looks at me.

My heart stops as she leans down and kisses me. "Goodbye, Niall Horan." She runs towards the chapel.

For some reason, that goodbye felt very final.
