Midnight Memories

Chapter Two: Jealousy

I look over at Niall. "Thanks for taking me." He nods "No problem." He continues driving. We park and get out. We walk inside and he follows closely behind me. He looks around and I look at him "I'm going to the bar." He mumbles and walks towards the bar. I run after him pulling him into the other direction. "First you can't drink because you have to drive me home. Second, I want you to meet someone." I chuckle and walk over to Crystal. Crystal Reed is one of my best friends. She's Alison on Teen Wolf too. I've always wanted to guest star on Teen Wolf but they haven't let me yet. I smile "Crystal this is Niall; Niall this is Crystal. Go mingle." I chuckle looking at them.

"Hi" Crystal smile at Niall with that adorable smile with her dimples showing. He smiles back looking at her "Hi" I chuckle and walk off.

Austin walks over to me and smiles "Hey" I smile. "Hey, how are you?" He smiles, "I'm good. How're things with, Niall?" I smile weakly "Good but I wish it were you." I frown. He frowns, "I know, Alice, but he's just as good as I would've been." He says. "But he's not! You would've been my friend! He's strict, he has these bullshit rules and I didn't do anything to deserve rule! If I break a rule he could drop all of my contracts! You would've been understanding and nice to me!" He frowns "That's just how he is, Alice, you have to understand. It may not seem fair but he's just doing it for your safety. Answer this honestly, since he became your bodyguard, have you once felt like your safety was at risk?" He looks at me in all seriousness, I frown. "Well no... but still, Austin. I wanted you. You know why I wanted you too... and I know you're married; I would never jeopardize that for you. But it's not the same without you." I sigh looking at him while he frowns, "I get it, Alice. Just, try and make things work for the next few week between you guys, please? For me?" He looks at me, I frown even more, "But Austin..." I sigh because I know I won't win this battle, I frown and nod reluctantly. "Fine"

He smiles and kisses my forehead. "Thank you, Ali. Now go have some fun and stop moping around." I frown and hug him tightly, "Don't leave yet, please?" I look up at him frowning. He frowns back and nods "I'll stay a while longer." He smiles then I smile back at him. "It's just you're the only one that actually understands me, Austin. Niall, he doesn't. He doesn't ask me how my day has been like you always would. I feel so distant from you." I frown, he frowns as well. "I know we've grown apart the last year or so but I promise I'll make it up to you, Alice. We'll get together soon and we'll just talk like how we used to, sound good?" I smile weakly and nod. "Yeah." He smiles "Alright it's a plan." I smile and kiss his nose, "Yessir" I chuckle. He chuckles "Let's not start this again, Alice." He sticks his tongue out at me as we both laugh. "But it's cute." I reply. He laughs "Maybe" I chuckle and kiss his cheek, "Shall we get something to drink?" I smile, he chuckles and says, "indeed we shall" I smiles and walk to the bar with him.

So, you're probably wondering how old I am... I mean, I look like I'm 14 or 15. Well, I'm actually 19 I'm 5'7" I won xFactor 2012. I have a sister, Emma, she's hated me since day one. I don't know what if did but obviously it was something. Oh well, right? I mean, it's not like there's much for me to do... Sigh, I'm over it.

I smile getting a drink, my smile fades seeing Niall; knowing I'm going to have to part ways with Austin again.

"Bye darling." Niall smiles and pecks Crystals lips. I frown to myself, having a bad pain in my chest. What is that? Why am I having this feeling? I don't know what it is... but I don't like it. I hope I never feel it again. I look up at Austin and fake a smile. "I'm probably going to have to leave, I'll call you later-" he interrupts me "Alice, why would you set him up with, Crystal? Especially if you like him?" He frowns, I look at him with wide eyes, "I don't like Niall..." I look at him with a disgusted face. "I saw the way you were looking at him when he kissed her, Alice, that's not just a look people do when their not jealous. That's the look that you get when you're hurt because of it. I would know this." He frowns and shake my head. "I don't like him, Austin, honest to God truth." I frown, do I like Niall? I mean he's good looking, he's got perfect hair, he has gorgeous blue eyes that sparkle when he looks at me. Yeah, I don't like, Niall. There's just no way. Niall brakes my train of thoughts. "Did you hear me, Alice?" He frowns and I look at him, "No, what?" He sighs "Are you ready to go?" I nod and kiss Austin's cheek before walking out to the car with Niall. "Remember our deal, Alice!" He yells after me before I walk out.

Since the party was 3 hours away I fell asleep on the way back, is it possible for me to like, Niall? I can't like, Niall... it's just not possible. Whatever, I'm dropping this subject. Thanks a lot, Austin for putting it into my head. I feel the car come to a stop. Are we finally home? I feel Niall pick me up out of the car, I smile to myself and wrap my arms around his neck, holding onto him tightly. "Why can't you be peaceful like this all day?" He mumbles, I ignore it and hold onto him tighter. He lays me down in my bed and tucks me in, why is he even being nice... I was a total bitch to him this past week.
