Notes to Natalie

Chapter 27

Natalie's POV

"Natalie are you ready?" yelled my mum.

"Coming!" I ran a mental check list making sure I had everything.

I walked down the stairs while holding up my dress. Tonight was supposed to be magical..every girls dream. But would a Prom still be magical without a date? Probably not.

"Sweetie, you look beautiful."

"It's okay, a lot of people don't have a date to the prom and still have fun!" my dad blurted.

Tears welled in my eyes. It just hurt so much, the way Luke treated me. How he used me. And Niall...he went back to the band.

Just erase everything from your mind. Tonight is meant for fun. Don't let any stupid boys ruin it.

I sound so childish. Why can't I just act my age?

Knock-knock

"Oh...I'll get it." The door opened while he stood there.

Jake?

**
My body stood frozen for what felt like hours. Why would he show up?

"Jake? What are you doing here?"

"Look," he began as my parents left the room. "I realized how much of a jerk I was and since tonight is Prom I just thought..we could leave the past behind and start new."

"Jake you can't just come over here asking to be my date and act like nothing happened." The words shot right out of my mouth.

"Natalie, everything that happened that night was a big mistake and if I could go back to that day and change what had happened...I would."

I shook my head. How does he expect me to just forgive him after what he did to me. The pain I went through. The... heartbreak.

"I don't know Jake. You can't just show up here asking for another chance. You have no idea what you did to me."

"Okay, I know I don't deserve it. But-"

"Please, just leave."

He sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets. I watched him walk down the driveway to his car and get in.

Natalie just let him keep walking..you need to be with Niall! Don't let him get to you.

"Jake wait! I-I'll go with you."

Niall's POV

I sat in boredom as another begging interviewer asked us questions. Same old this, same old that. I wanted a change for once, jeeze.

"So Niall, Harry, and Liam..being the only single ones in the group. Any special girls lately?"

Harry replied, "No, not at the moment."

Liam, "I've got my eye on this one girl.. but it isn't anything serious so I'm not going to mention her name."

"Niall?" asked the annoying lady.

The boys stared at me. I could read their foreheads saying 'Natalie'.

"Umm...sort of, yeah. H-Her name is.. it's uhh.." I couldn't even think straight. So much hate and drama would start if I told the interviewer.

"Her name is Natalie." I quickly replied. Oh to hell with it. She asked if I had any girls, and I do. Natalie's my girl. Just not officially yet..

The audience oo-ed. I could feel my cheeks blushing. Of course, Louis had to point it out.

"And where is Natalie tonight?" The lady asked. Okay seriousley, how much more personal could she get?

Thoughts ran through my mind of what she could be doing...

Shit Niall.

Tonight's her Prom.

I got super uncomfortable after that. I glanced at the clock. We still had an hour left of this interview. She's in London..and I'm in a completely different part of England. I have to leave, now.

"Niall, is everything alright?" Zayn whispered in my ear. I slightly shook my head.

Suddenly, he knew what I was thinking. "Go." he told me. "Go get her."

**

I pulled up in front of her school just in time. Her Prom was just starting, so hopefully I'd be able to walk in with her.

I already had my tux on..oh crap. Flowers. Crosage. I honestly didn't think this through.

As I stepped out of my car, I tried to find Natalie. She was a brunette..but what color dress what she wearing? Gosh there were so many...

"Natalie? Natalie!!" No sight of her. I walked over to a group of girls to see if they knew her.

"Ohmygosh it's,its's-"

"I know, yeah it's me but-"

"NIALL HORAN!!"

Natalie's POV

I could feel Jake staring at me. A slight smile formed on the corner of my mouth. I'm wondering, did this mean we were going to be seeing each other more?

But Niall. You can't forget it, you said you were in love with him. Don't let Jake ruin that chance...

"I'm really glad you said yes Nat."

"I'm just glad I have someone to go with. And I guess I'm glad it's you." Wow, that sounded like you hate him.

"You guess? What's that supposed to mean?"

I glanced out the window as we pulled into the school parking lot. A bunch of girls were crowded around someone. Someone, I was quite familar with.

Niall?
