Letting Go (Niall Horan AU)

Chapter 20

October

...................

I wake up to the sound of my alarm.

Slamming the sound off, I climb out of my comforter.

I decide I have enough time to check my texts in my phone before I get ready.

I text back amber, my mom, and see I have two other new ones.

From: Harry the Hottie <3

From: Toby

From: Harry the Hottie <3

I then look and see that I have one more new text.

From: Niall

From: Toby

fuck no.

From: Niall

I'm really sorry I was a dick. Please? We need to talk.

From: Toby

No.

With my answer sent, I get dressed for the day.

............

I walk down the halls to my last period. Math.

I nervous because I don't know what to expect. Will Niall be in his usual spot? Will he ignore me? Make fun of me?

Ugh. I did this to myself. I let him fool me.

The only thing keeping me here right now is the thought that at least I didn't have sex with him.

I take a deep breath and walk through the doors into the room.

I immediately spot Nialls blonde hair sitting in his normal seat. Unfortunately my nervousness made me late and the last two seats just happen to be next to Niall.

Great.

I sigh and plop my stuff down next to him.

As I sit through yet another hopeless attempt to learn formula for something or other, Niall stares at the side if my head.

It feels like he's trying to catch it on fire. My head tingles and it's driving me insane.

"What the hell do you want?" I angrily whisper at him.

"I'm so sorry, I said those things I didn't mean it! It's just I have a reputation I have to keep up. People expect certain things from me." He responds hurriedly.

"Sure."

"October, I've never felt this way about someone. I've meant every word I've said to you." He pleads for my acknowledgment.

"Niall this is the second time you've done something like this."

"I know, I'm a screw up, but you make me this way. You make me wanna clean my room, and write songs, and punch people in the face." He says pulling at his hair.

"Niall I've heard about all your little fuck buddies. And yet I still thought i could change you, when really I was kidding myself." I say calmly.

"Please, just give me one more chance." He begs.
