As soon as my eyes land on Niall, and Athalia on the other side of the restaurant I make my way over to their table. We have been planning on going to dinner together for weeks, but everyone has been busy with their own stuff ever since we got here. Tonight was the only day we all could make it, and I am so happy for that.
They both stand up, and pull me into a welcoming embrace. It has been so long since I saw them last. "We have missed you so much." Athalia says as she pulls away from the hug, as well as Niall.
"I have missed you too." I reply while we all take our seats, and pull the menu in front of us. "I have a lot to tell you, and I imagine you two do as well." I tell them exited. For some reason I hope they know Harry seeing as Louis did.
"No actually not that much. There are somethings that are work related, but not much more." Niall answer as the waiter close up on us. Asking for what we want. We all order different things. I order a burger, Athalia a salad, and Niall some pasta. "So what do you want to tell us?"
"Well the weirdest thing happened a few days ago. It was really late, and Louis and I were just sitting and talking when it knocked on the door. It was a man, and he insisted on knowing me. He knew my name, and everything, and he thought I had forgotten bout him or something." I explain to them while the waiter hands us our drinks. They both looks equally intrigued in my story, so I continue talking. "Louis called him Harry so I figured that's his name."
Both their eyes widen, and their mouths fall open in shock. "Harry?" Athalia asks carefully. "Are you sure?"
"Yes I am sure, because he later came to the cafe I am currently working at, and explained that he was drunk when it happened, and he wanted to apologize." I explain further. Niall haven't said a word yet he is just sitting there motionless almost as if he can't believe what I am saying. "Do you know him?" I ask now very curious as to why they are acting this way.
"Yes we are old friends. Just shocked that he is here, it has been so long." Niall says with his eyes glued to the table. I nod understandingly deciding on trying to change the subject seeing as it for some reason is a sad one for everyone who knows him. "Can we meet him?" Niall asks this time looking at me.
"I am sure I can tell him, and he will call you. But right now isn't a good time, Louis told me he is taking his drivers license. I think it's quite odd that he doesn't have one already, but I am not one to judge." I let out a laugh, and so do they, but theirs seems a little forced. "Can I ask you something?"
"Of course." Athalia says as she smiles at the food coming to our table. The waiter places the food in front of us, and no one spares a second to dig into it. Waiting for food in a restaurant is truly the worst when you're already a little hungry.
"After Harry came to us the first time Louis acted so strange after he left, and you guys also did when I mentioned him. Did you guys end it on a bad term?" I am careful with my words not wanting to upset anyone anymore then they already are.
"No not at all. We all met him when we first got here, but he had to move away for a long while." Niall reveals to me, but for some reason I don't really believe him. Always when Niall lies he can't look people in the eyes, and right now he can't look into mine. Why lie about how you know someone? He is too busy stuffing his face with the last of his food.
"Who is all?" I ask noticing how he referred to us all.
"Alexandra, Louis, Athalia, and me." Niall says pointing as if they were here. I don't remember them being gone that much when we first got here, and he said they are old friends. Are you old friends if you became friends a few months ago?
"How come I never met him?" I try to pry as I take my last bite. I put the fork down, and push the plate away form me a little, letting the waiter know I am done, and so does Athalia.
"You were so ill back then, and never left the house." Athalia says, and memories from that time comes flooding back. Even though everyone is saying that I was sick, when I look back that is not how I felt. It was more like pain, but not from sickness, but something else. "We just hung out a few time, and the thought of introducing you never really crossed our mind at the time, but we did mention you once or twice."
"Undestandeble." Is all I say not wanting to make a big deal out of it. "Are everyone done?" I ask, and they both nod. As soon as the a waiter passes by I ask for our check, and when it comes we slit it equally between us before we stand up getting ready to leave.
As I am fumbling with my coat I manage to bump into someone. I huff as I am pouched backwards by the impact making me look up getting ready to apologize, but when I see who it is my body freeze in shock, and so does his. "Zayn?" The name slipped form my lips without me realizing making him snap back to reality, turn around and walk of as fast as he can in direction of the exit.
"It's Zayn!" I scream to Niall and Athalia. They look at me shocked for a second before all of us run out after him, but when we make it outside he is nowhere in be seen.
