Monster (Niall Horan)

Chapter 3: Unspeakable

There are no words said from me as we're driving down Main Street. The sun is at a hazy stance where you can tell that it is getting late. I'm getting tired. As Carlie and Niall talk about some stupid part in the movie, or hell, I don't know, they could be talking about Algebra II and I wouldn't give two damns. This is absolutely driving me insane. Me, inside Niall's car, less that five feet away from him is killing my brain. I hate him, why did I give in? I'd rather walk home. I hear a giggle. What the hell are the blabbing about? I stop my crazy thoughts to listen.

"Hahaha did you hear about Kaycee falling down the stairs yesterday? About broke her ass I heard. Too funny!" Niall said to her. I rolled my eyes and she laughed even more. How can he just make fun of people like that and Carlie thinks it's all a big joke. Well, sorry to break it to you, but it's not. So wake up from your fantasy when everything is  lollipops and gumdrops, and--

"Saidia Rose! Are you even listening to me? Probably daydreaming again I guess. Sadie! Hello? Whatever." Carlie says. I try to ignore her, but it's too tempting. 

"Damnit Carlie! I hear you! What the hell do you want!" I said just a smidge too harshly. 

"My god, calm down," Niall says.

"Shut it, Niall." I said. "What do you even want me for, Carlie?"

"Well," Carlie asked, "I was just going to ask if you wanted to go bowling or something tomorrow. With Niall, of course. I think it would be fun! Or, we could go rollerblading or ice skating or rock climbing, or even watch another movie! What do you think?" 

I sit there, stunned. What the hell did she just ask me. No! Of course not! Why would I? That fag ain't getting nowhere close to where he is right now. "No." I say briefly. "No way in hell." 

Through the mirror I can see her frown. "What? Why not?" She looks utterly confused and not sure why I rejected.

"Why would you? He-- I'll talk to you about it in our dorm. Okay?" The car fell silent, until Niall was approaching a stop sign on a back road that he took to make a little "shortcut". No one was coming, so Niall suggested he just run the sign. 

"Don't, I don't really want to die tonight, with you, the last thing I ever saw, Niall. Please."

"Too Late!" He hollers. As if out of nowhere, a big black SUV comes barreling at us.

"Niall! Ohmygod there's a car! Slow down!" Carlie says with terror.

As soon as I look right and there's nothing there, I feel bright LED lights in my face on the other side of me. I scream. "Go!!!" I yell. 

Boom. We got hit. "What the hell, Niall? I told you to slow down an hour ago! What is your problem?" I hear Carlie shout. 

"No one was coming, and I thought the other road had a stop sign!" He shouts back.

I can't move. My arm is crushed in the backseat, and I feel trapped, because there is literally 2 feet for my to move. Glass from the back window is shattered on my legs and feet. Great day to wear shorts and flats. Perfect. I try saying something, my voice small and frail, but I can't get in over their fighting.

"I just can't believe you, Niall. I thought you were more responsible than this. My god, we're in freaking college, and you still can't understand that a damn stop sign means to stop! Damn you!" She yells.

"But, Carlie--" He tries to get a word in. I have a feeling he can see me. 

"No buts Niall! This is all your fault! I just, I don't even know anymore. Hell with you." She says.

"Would you listen to me!" Niall screams loud in a protective voice. 

"You don't have anything to say! Even Sadia should be yelling at you, but she's not! Sadia! She is so out of it. I swear. The both of you are driving me nuts tonight. As far as I'm concerned, you guys are probably dating and not saying anything! The hell with it. I'm done." She says frustrated.
