The one that got away

Part 2. Forever is a long time.

"Im going to Spain for a photo shoot next week" MJ says as she crawls into bed next to me.

"For how long?" I ask not taking my attention away from my iPad which has my twitter open.

"Like a month or two" she says looking over my shoulder to see what I'm looking at. "It was nice to see the boys today" she says trying to break the silence. "Mhmm" I keep scrolling. MJ going away isn't a big thing, she goes away all the time as do I. We both come and go, and that's mainly one of the things that we have in common. Busy lives.

"Niall, you're not even listening to me!" MJ says putting her hand in my iPad blocking my view.

"I'm sorry! I'm trying to see what other shit people are saying about us before my interview tomorrow!" I say lifting her hand off the screen.

"I thought that was all cleared up?" she questions.

"No, people still think you're only with me to make your career better and they think you're cheating on me with Harry" I state looking at a clearly extremely photoshopped picture of. MJ and Harry kissing. I swear people are so pathetic. What are they trying to accomplish in life by trying to ruin someone's relationship and friendship?! Honestly grow up.

"People are so pathetic these days" MJ says slinking down into a more comfortable position. I just said that... We tend to have the same thoughts. MJ just says them aloud because she doesn't have a filter. Like this one time we were out for diner and a group if girls were standing at the window watching and she actually got up and told them to 'fuck off and go get fucked in the ass with a cactus' the girls were 14! She probably ruined their self esteem! I was so mad at her that night, she can't just say stuff like that to little girls no matter how much they piss her off.

"So babe, why was Corey over? I thought he was back in Ireland? You know where you're from!?" She emphasizes the ending.

Awkward. "Hum well he's going to school in London and living with his sister in the south end if the city..." I mumble.

"Excuse me?" MJ says sitting up look at me with her eyebrow cocked and he lips pursed. Oh shit.

"He's going to school here..." I say quietly avoiding to say the last part.

"I heard what you said! What the hell do you mean with his sister?" She snaps. This is going to be a long night.

"Well I guess Becky's working here now... I don't know. I haven't spoken to her in 2 years!" I exclaim. I don't see why MJ is so upset about this. Becky is in town, she's never even met her, and she doesn't even know I dated her and she is already getting jealous? This is retarded.

"Sweetheart will you calm down? Becky is just a friend, I don't know how many times I have to tell you this!" I know I'm lying, she is more then a friend to me but I can never tell MJ that;I would end up in a ditch or on a milk carton. I love MJ to death but she scares me sometimes.

"Okay okay I believe you, I just don't want you to be like "oh yeah by the way MJ I'm in love with my bestfriend Becky" she says in her best imitation of me. Which I have to be really honest it's scary good. I can't help but feel guilty though, because it's true I am in love with my best friend or at least I think I am. "That won't ever happen, MJ I swear she is just a friend!" I say calmly placing a small kiss on her cheek.

The week goes by pretty quickly and the next thing I know I'm driving MJ to the airport.

"I'm gonna miss you' she pouts as I bring her into a hug.

"I'm going to miss you too" I reply into her ear kissing her cheek lightly. "I love you" I say before kissing her lips. I've always loved kissing MJ. There's always something about it that make my stomach get butterfly's. I know it sound like a teenage girl but that's how I knew she was the girl I wanted in my life after Becky. MJ was the only girl who I could connect with on a different kind of personal level. I can't even explain it.
