Forbidden Love

Goodbyes Pt.2~27

*Niall P.O.V*

Grace wanted to see me. I didn't care about anything else. She asked to see me. Maybe I wasn't a complete screw up.

I sprung up off my bed immediately after I'd gotten her call. Like routine, I dumped a few pennies in my jean pocket, hopeful to be able to bring back a memory. I shrugged into my sweater anxiously.

It wasn't that I didn't think she'd never come around. I knew she would eventually, but not this soon. I ran downstairs hoping my dad wouldn't ask me where I was going. It was always awkward when he asked, but instead of finding him I found a note.

"You know where I am" It read.

I sighed feeling guilty for a moment. I tore up the note & tossed it out before leaving.

Halfway through the ride I got a call from Haley. I was wary about answering though. Right when I was about to patch things up with Grace she wants to call. I almost let it go to voicemail, but answered at the last second, putting it on speaker.

"Hello?" I answered half-heartedly.

"She's still not speaking to me," she snapped into the phone.

"Oh hey, Haley how ya doing?" I squealed sarcastically.

"Its not funny Niall!"

"I wasn't even laughing!" I defended. She groaned. "What do you want me to do Haley?"

"Make it right! You're gonna fix this. If you can get her to talk to you she'll be more likely to talk to me again. I know her. She'd do something like that." She plotted. Though her words were confident her voice contradicted that.

"Im on my way to her house right now. She called me."

"Good. Well don't fuck up." Her voice got a little softer.

"I won't. I promise."

"Ok. Call me later and let me know how things went alright?"

"Sure. Bye."

"Bye."

By then I was already in Grace's driveway. I cut the engine off, upset with myself that I hadn't parked in the street. Id have to knock on the door now. If her mom was home she'd see my car. Oh well for bringing back memories.

I hopped out the car and nervously made my way towards the entrance of her house. I could see the living room lights on shining through the curtains.

Well don't fuck up.

Id done enough of that.

I rang the bell excited to see Grace again. It had only been a day but that was too long for me. I never thought Id fall for her the way I have...

The door opened and instead of seeing my gorgeous Grace there stood her confused looking mother instead. Perfect...

She had on casual house clothing, sweatpants, but still looked tired & stressed just like any other time I saw her since dad proposed. Though she was trying to smile at me I was too busy looking for Grace behind her. Where is she? Was she even home. Maybe she's out with Liam...no. She had to be home. I was just going crazy.

"Well hi Niall," my future step mother finally spoke. "Its surprising to see you here."

I nodded, still looking for my girlfriend.

"I called." A familiar voice said. I barged past Grace's mother into the house frantically. Grace was walking down the stairs carefully. Her long, brown hair looked wet and she looked beautiful.
