Just A Joke (A Niall Horan fanfic)

Chapter 4

*Mckenzie's POV*

So its Christmas in two days and guess who gets to be alone? Me. My mom is on a business trip until January 2nd.

We are on winter break right now and it's 38 degrees outside. I hate being home by myself, especially when I'm sick. I feel my phone vibrate and I take it out of my pocket.

Mom: Hey sweetheart! just checking on you! It's pretty busy in New York! Love and miss you! Hope you get to feeling better.

I respond with a simple 'thanks, love you.'

I get up and cross my arms to block them from my cold air surrounding me.

I turn the temp down about four notches and walk into my kitchen. I then put some chicken noodle soup in the pot and let it cook. My hands shake and my coughs get deeper and deeper.

I feel so empty and plain. I need to relax and lie down. I look at the clock and its 9:36 p.m. My soup is finally done and I put it in a bowl with crackers.

I sit my soup on the glass coffee table and walk over to the fire place. Once I start that up, I turn on the tv and watch some movies. I then recline my couch back and cover myself with a knitted blanket. I relax my body as much as I can. After about 15 minuets I'm done with my soup and my phone vibrates. I don't recognize the number that has texted me.

#- Hey love ;) it's Niall, What you up to... if your not already asleep.

me: how did you get my number?

Niall: I know ppl.

me: stalker much?

Niall: well if I asked, you wouldn't give it to me.

Me: that is true. why do you need my number so bad that you must find it without asking me?

Niall: Well.. I heard you were going to be alone for Christmas.

Me: ok, now I'm for sure you are my new stalker.

Niall: Haha watch out princess, I'm at your front door. ;)))))

Princess?

Me: are you really?

Niall: do you want me to be?

Me: no, not really.

Niall: well why not :(

Me: sick, and I do not like you one bit.

Niall: then why was I in your house the other day?

Me: because I'm a nice person and you AND Zoe were cold.

Niall: well you could of let only Zoe in..

Me: that would of been a better option.

Niall: i think we should of let Zoe lay down on the ground, and you lay down on me ;)

Me: ;) much?

Niall: well if I can't show my charming smirk in person, might as well through text.

Me: ha, charming my ass.

Niall: why you so mean to me?

Me: don't even start about me being mean to you when the only thing you have done through high school was make fun of me.

Niall: I guess your right. I'm sorry:(. I'll let you get back to whatever your doing. And if you don't want to be alone for Christmas, give me a ring.

I couldn't help but smile. He was actually being super nice to me lately, nicer than he usually is. A part of me wants to like him, and let him be my friend, but the other part is saying that he's still the same jerk.
