Golden Girl- Book 2

Bury the hatchet

Niall stood at Ell's apartment door awkwardly waiting for someone to answer. After a long conversation, the boys forced Niall to apologize to Ell. He did see that he hit a sensitive nerve and needed to say he was sorry, but not like this. Oh well.

The front door opened to reveal Ell in pajama's, hair in a messy bun, and a bowl of ice cream in her hand.

"What do you want?" Ell asked as she sighed.

"I came here to apologize," Niall said in a monotone voice.

"Why?" Ell asked.

"I may be Irish, but I am a gentleman," Niall said remembering what Ell said about Irishmen.

"Fine," Ell said as she opened the door to let Niall in.

Niall walked into the nice apartment to only see it empty. Ell's mother wasn't home and it was 11:47. Niall noticed Ell's face was red and her eyes were puffy.

"Well?" Ell said sitting down on a large couch.

"I'm sorry for what I said. I went over the line. I take it all back in a heart beat," Niall said sitting down next to Ell.

"You don't need to apologize. What you said was true," Ell said sadly.

"I'm sorry an Irishman miss treated you. Most of us are gentlemen," Niall said.

"I know. It's just that rare few that treat us like dirt," Ell said smiling at Niall.

They sat there in silence. There was nothing left to say. But as Niall thought of leaving, Ell began to cry.

"What's wrong?" Niall asked as he awkwardly pat her back in effort to comfort her.

"Thank you for keeping me from making a huge mistake," Ell said smiling at Niall.

"Which Irishman broke your heart?" Niall asked not able to hold back his couriosity.

"It's a long story," Ell sighed.

"I have all the time in the world," Niall offered.

Ell knotted her hands and said, "His name is Collin."

"This isn't good. Niall hasn't come home," Louis said pacing the floor.

"He won't answer his calls," Liam confirmed.

"Let's just stop by Ell's to see if he is there," Harry suggested trying to calm down the boys.

"I swear, if he screwed her," Louis said forming his hand into a fist.

"Niall and Ell hate each other.  No way would she sleep with him," Zayn assuaged.

"Let's just go Ell's," Louis said angrily.

The car ride there was awkward and silent. You could feel Louis' anger radiate off of him. They got anxious the moment they saw Niall's car parked outside of Ell's apartment. This was not good.

Louis loudly knocked on the front door till it was opened.

"Hello," Cris beamed at the boys.

"Is Niall here?" Louis demanded.

"In a matter of fact, he is," Cris said as she let the boys in.

"Shhh," Cris said as she pointed to the couch.

There lay Niall and Ell, fast asleep next to each other. All of their clothes on. But they were cuddling.

The only good thing of that picture for Louis was that their clothes were on.
