More Than This (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 27

Thalia's POV

The phone call I had with Niall ended sooner that I thought. It was just the second time that he called me ever since he got in the band. I miss him as much as he misses me that there are times that I regret that I left Ireland but on the other hand, whenever I look at my boyfriend, I feel contented with my life.

"Thalia!" Kevin calls me once again and I head back into the room, towards him.

We are at a KTV bar right now; we just got here like thirty minutes ago. I didn't know about this to be honest. Tricia and her brother, Troy, blindfolded me from my condo up to here and when they told me to take the cloth off my eyes, I saw Kevin and all our closest friends together in one room.

I looked all over the room and I saw a karaoke, a cake and delicious foods and drinks sitting on the table, some balloons and a 'Happy Birthday' sign hanging on the wall.

Kevin popped a party popper and hugged me right after as he whispered a happy happy birthday to me.

Then the party started.

"Yes?"

"Who was that?"

Niall. My mind says. "Mum."

"Oh? What did she say?"

"She's just checking me." I reply and he leaves a kiss on my forehead.

Kevin and I make our way back in the room but something is bugging me out. Who was that girl who called Niall?

"You okay?" Tricia asks me right after I sit down beside her. "You look sad."

"No, I'm fine."

"Did you and Kevin have an argument?"

"No, no." I smile at her.

"Then what?"

"Niall called me."

"And so?" She wonders.

"I miss that idiot." I stand up and use the bathroom. "I'm going to the bathroom, take my phone first."

"Okay."

* * * * *

"I'm back." I sit down beside Tricia and she hands me back my phone in an uncomfortable gesture. "You alright?"

"Please don't get mad at me ..." She starts off. "... and I will not get mad at you, too, just explain."

"What do you mean?" I begin to be nervous. She doesn't say a thing but glares at my phone.

I turn it on and Niall's message pops out.

Happy birthday again,Thalia!!Sorry i wasn't able to greet you right in time, Tommo set me up with Liam's friend..I got lost track of time!!by the way, the boys are greeting you a happy birthday!!:D i miss you xx

"Tricia," I whisper.

"I didn't mean to read it. I just thought it was just another birthday greetings from one of your friends." My bestfriend explains. "Please do put a lock screen next time but first, explain."

There are tears forming into Tricia's eyes and I am just so sorry as I stare at her apologetically. I feel so bad for keeping a secret to her. "It's Niall Horan." I swallow.

"Why did you keep it from me?"

"I'm not sure."

"Seriously?!" Tricia whines while I keep my tears in tact behind my eyes.

"Sorry." I murmur.

I tell her everything.

I tell her how I came up to showing her a picture of Marc as Niall and Marc as Greg and all of the stupid stuffs I made up.

And I tell her how sorry I am.

"I wasn't ready ..." I sigh. "I wasn't ready to bring up my last heartbreak."

"I'm sorry." Tricia whispers and hugs me reassuringly.

"Me too." I hug her back.

She clears her throat, "You owe me a lot but I will not fangirl. I mean, not here, not now. But let me fucking meet him or something! Or else? Friends over!"

"I know." I smirk and she literally begins to cry.

"Does he know?" Tricia asks, referring to Kevin.

"No."

"You have some explaining to do!"

"I know, I know."

"Happy ..." Tricia bites my arm and I flinch. "... birthday to youuuu!"
