Bad Blood {n.h}

Chapter Ten

Addison's POV

I turned back into my dorm, ready to scream like an overly excited preteen. 

"What was that?" Amelia asked, jumping from behind the corner. 

"We were just talking.." I awkwardly smiled and tried to escape to my room.

"Just talking? That's not what I saw through the peep hole.." She kind of sang as she spoke. 

"Oh, so you're a peeping Tom?" I joked and she rolled her eyes.

I turned to fish out an outfit for lunch out of my closet. 

"Where are you going?" She followed me.

"Jesus, Amelia. You're going to hate me but I'm going to lunch with Niall, okay?" I examined my clothes hung in my tiny closet. 

"Great, have fun." And she left, leaving me to get ready.

Wow no older sister or mom like speech? 

I found jeans and a plain white blouse, changing quickly and slipping into my boots that gave me a few more inches in height. 

I brushed out my hair, letting it's natural wave take over. 

After applying the smallest amount of mascara, I stood in front of Amelia who was reading off her iPad. 

"Do I look okay?" 

"What does it matter? It's what you have under your clothes he likes." She looked up and shrugged and I narrowed my eyes at her. "Fine, yes you look great." 

"Eh, I'll take it." I reach for my phone on the table and texted Niall that I was ready when he was, he quickly responded that he was on his way. 

"Thanks, by the way." I crossed my arms, "For not giving me a speech on what I should and shouldn't do." 

"I restrained myself. But you're right, you're old enough to make your own decisions. I'm still not okay with this, but I'm not going to stop you. These past few months you've become like my sometimes-annoying-melodramatic little sister, I'm just looking out for you. Ya know?" She stood and waited for me to respond. 

"I understand. Thanks, my kinda over protective-annoying-nagging older sister." We both laughed.

"Whether I like to admit or not, I'll be here for you. I'm kinda your only friend so.." She trailed off and I playfully hit her arm 

"You are not!" I laughed, but she kind of was, in London at least.

Amelia was about to speak when there was a knock at the door.

"He's still not allowed in here yet." Amelia sighed, "Go, have fun." 

I smiled and waved goodbye as I opened and closed the door behind me. 

"Hey." He smiled.

"Hi." I grinned and we both chuckled softly.

"Ready?" 

"Mhm.." I found his hand and took a hold of it, half expecting him to pull away;he held onto it tight.

We finally made it out the building and began walking to his car, his hand still in mine. 

"Ooooooh! Horan's got a new girl!" Someone called from behind. 

We both turned in sync as a boy with his pants practically at his knees approached us.

"Hey." Niall released my hand and did that universal boy hand shake.

"Who's this?" The boy asked.
