The Broken and Hurt (Niall Horan)

Chapter 9

Lizzie's POV

He races through my thoughts all day. There is no stopping it. His face just shows up, images of him. Why? Why does it keep happening? My mind won't stop, its like a ar accident. You can't look away,but you just keep staring eventhough its bad.  This impact on my life that he caused is baffling. 

"Lizzie? LIzzie? LIZZIE!? Hello?? is anyone home up there?" Gemma asks ather harshly as she taps my forehead.

"Huh? Why are you ruining my meditation?"That's an awful excuse. Oh well. 

"Well you 'meditated' through the bell. Class is over. DO you have practice today?" 

" Oh thanks. and no just a quick meeting. Are you still coming over tomorow after school?" 

" YES! I cant wait to go head to the shops! I need new clothes!"

" You said that last weekend when we went shopping. Do you seriously need new clothes again?" Gemma is such a girly girl, always buying clothes and shoes, getting her nails done and her hair has to be perfect. 

" Yea I do." She relpied in a 'duh' sort of tone. Right.

Ok text me Gem. Gotta go." 

"Bye Liz." I started off to my locker to get some books and my other bag. I forgot there was only a meeting today. Room 234 is Coach Greg's room or Mr. Nolan during school hours.  The rest of the team was there, waiting for the meeting to start and be over. I sit towards themiddle of all the desks and  Coach Greg starts up about the fiest meets in a couple of weeks and how we are goign to start training even more so we will be at the best of our abilites blah, blah, blah. 

20 long minutes pass when we are finally dismissed. Coach Greg calls me over as I am about to leave.  Great, what did I do?

"Lizzie, YOu have been one of my best athletes and I want you to be Co- captain. You must lead this team to victory this year."

Im speechless. Im Co-captain! AHHHH! "I won't let you down Coach."

Im so happy and shocked! Me! Oh my god! I send a quick text to Gemma and get an almost immediate response back congratulating me. 

In the front of the building, there is a bench that is hardly used unless you have been forgotten by your parents who were supposed to pick you up. There is a figure sitting there. Its Niall. He is infatuated in his phone.  

"Niall?" I ask. His trance with whatever he was typing on his phone is broken. He looks up and a small smile forms on his lips. " Do you need a ride home?"

"Uh.. no my parents should be here soon. I think. THey arent answering their phones." 

" Ill give you a ride home. If you want."

He thinks for a minute before he replies. " That'd be great. Thank you Elizabeth."

" Its no big deal."

We walk to the Jeep. Bags in back like always and I climb into the front seat. Niall beside me. 

"THis is a sick car Elizabeth."

" thanks and you dont have to call me ELizabeth. Lizzie is fine. I almost prefer it."

"I dont know. I really like Elizabeth" A cheeky grin plays across his lips. 

" Whatever. Do you mind if I turn on the radio? Ill keep it low. "

"I dont mind."

I turn the nob and "Secrets" by OneRepublic comes through the speakers.

" I Love this song!" we say in unison.

"Tellme what you want to hear. Something that will light those ears sick of all the insincere. So im gonna give all my secrets away. This time don't need another perfect lie. Don't care if the critics ever jump in line. I'm gonna all my secrets away."

This would be a fun car ride, if only I knew what was to come.
