 I wake up to the sound of someone crying which is odd because these boys seem so tough, I slowly get out of bed and walk over to my door, then proceed to walk down the hallway, stopping at each door and listening. As I begin to pass Niall’s door I stop and to my disbelief it’s him who is crying. “Niall?” I whisper and lightly knock on his door.

“Go away.” I hear him say. How odd.

“It’s me, Presley. What’s wrong?” I whisper, I hear a few footsteps then the door opens to a red faced Niall.

“I said to go a-fucking-way Presley.” He says with some bite to his words, ouch.

“I just wanted to see what was wrong with you, is all.” I say in a low tone.

“I don’t fucking care what you wanted.” He says as he proceeds to slam the door in my face, what’s wrong with him? I stop the door and walk into his bedroom; he eyes me then sits on his bed and rubs his temples.

“Tell me what’s wrong Niall.” I shout, he ignores me. “Is it about me?” he stays silent. “It is isn’t it?”

“Yeah.” Is all he can say?

“What’s going on?” I say as I slowly sit on the edge of his bed.

“Don’t act like you didn’t hear me and Liam practically killing each other.” 

“I did…” I trail off.

“Well then you should know why, if you listened to the whole thing.”

“I fell asleep, I don’t remember much, just tell me.” I say rubbing his arm, he takes my hand and pushes it off of him before he stands up.

“You have to leave.” He says before punching a wall, it cracks before falling apart.

“What?”

“Zayn was pissed that me and Liam were fighting because of you so he said you’re out. I just want to kick Liam’s ass just thinking about it.” He says siting against his door.

“When?” Is all I can choke out?

“Tomorrow, but I got a plan.” He says looking at me dead in the eyes; I quickly look away from him. He gets up and walks over to me, kneels down and turns my face to face him. “Do you love me?”

“What?” I say surprised.

“Do you love me?” he says with a smirk.

“How could I love you? It’s been only a short amount of time!”

“Strange things can happen.”

“No, I don’t think I do.” He looks wounded but looks at me again.

“Do you like me at least?” he whispers, I stand up quickly.

“I honestly don’t know how I feel about you Niall. I mean you are so confusing! At Lesley’s you were  all over me telling me that you love me, then at the party you kiss me, them slept with that girl, then beat Liam up for talking to me as I cried because of you. You make no sense to me, I can’t figure you out! How am I supposed to love you if you can’t even make it clear if you like me or not?” I explain.

“I understand, what do you want me to do?” I sit down next to him and grab his hand, rubbing his palm lightly.

“Explain”

“Where do I begin?”

“The beginning.”

Niall’s POV:

“I don’t usually do this; this is difficult for me, Presley. Wait aren’t I supposed to be calling you Carter?” I whisper.

“Oh shit! I forgot, it’s weird to change your name.” she giggles, I love her laugh, its intoxicating.

“Okay, um...”

“You can just shorten it up if you can’t get it out.”

“Thank you and, I like you a lot.” I say quickly.

“That’s all I get? I like you a lot? I think I am worth more than that Niall.” I laugh.

“I think you are the best things that ever happened to me.” She looks at me confused.

“How? We are never together, you ignore me and you are always mean to me.” She says looking away.

“I know, and I am sorry, it’s just… damn it.” I cuss under my breath.

“What?”

“I am not good at expressing my feelings for people. I just always mess things up, that’s why I slept with Molly, I wanted to ruin it before I got too invested. I don’t want to get hurt.”

“Well, I forgive you, but if you do it again I will kill you, as your friend.” She says smiling.

“Friend?” I question.

“Yeah, friend, what else could we be?” she laughs as though I should know this.

“I want you as my girl.” I whisper.

“Niall, then prove to me you won’t hurt me in the process.”

“I’ll try.”
