That Rich Kid (Niall Horan)

Chapter 8

Zayn's P.O.V
I left the house as Ava mentioned 'Niall'. She couldn't stop crying because of a thing that I didn't know what was going on. Niall came to her house. I met Niall last week and I didn't expect anything from him. For about a week, I didn't see his face at school and I had no idea where he had been.

I found himself running into his car after leaving Ava's house with the door open. On a rainy day, about 30 minutes ago Ava texted me to hang out at her place and I couldn't appear earlier as I had to help Mom cleaning the garage. And then, when I came to her house I saw her crying and she hardly talked to me. What was going on man? What did Niall do to her?.

Fortunately, as Niall was about to leave Ava's lawn I just arrived and got into her house. I left her house after knowing a bit the reason why she cried. I got into my car as soon as possible and decided to follow here Niall wanted to go.

Niall's P.O.V
Keeping this feeling from her in years was the hardest thing I'd ever done. To her, I was just a douchebag. Yes, I disturbed her. Yes, I made her life miserable. Yes, I hurt her feelings. But did she know that was the only way that I could do to catch her attention?. Her black shiny hair, her smile, her skin and her lips. Her lips was touchable and the kiss was irresistible. I felt like time had stopped moving when I put my lips onto hers. Even it could happen once in a lifetime and it couldn't happen again but I had a blast.

I could say she was the reason I came to school. After Dad left us, I had no one and I remembered her promise 'I'm always with you'. I tried to talk to her as a friend but it was hard. And... Boring. So I decided to tease her. Every argument we had was just amusingly incredible. I had no one. She didn't want me. She was mad at me. She didn't want to see me anymore. I was wrong cuz I treated her like shits for all these years.

All girls I met, all girls I touched but she's the one that had the power. The power of making things alive. Goodbye world. It's the time I had to leave. Leaving everything. Most importantly, I wanted to leave her because she didn't need me.

After an hour of driving, I finally arrived at the edge of this town. Running away from others again. Hoping for my death was a sin to them. Royce Park. A haunted park. They said. The place where Dad was found dead. Years ago,I saw his dead body peacefully closing his eyes and felt happy to leave the world.

I left my stuff inside the car. I walked slowly to be on the top of the bridge. Couldn't wait to fall myself down and be in the water. Drowning myself and letting the fishes to eat my dead body. I ran towards the bridge quickly. I couldn't handle this anymore and thought it was the only solution that I had to do.

As I ran and a few steps more to be at the bridge, I heard someone called my name. Ignoring it was a good way to move.

"Niall!!!!!," he called me again, following my steps.

"Niall!!!!! Stop!!!!!," I didn't turn back. Who cares about me?

"Niall!!!!!!," once again he called my name and now I was about to stand on the bridge. I closed my eyes and stopped breathing. Cmon Nialler. You must do it.

"Niall!!!!,"

"Bap!!!!"

"What the hell are you doing?!," it was hurt as he pulled me into the ground. Zayn. The one who I used to insult. I called him Paki. He's always with Ava. Yes, I felt jealous. He ignored my question and kept taking me further from the bridge. I wasn't at the bridge anymore. I tried to let myself go from his arms but he held me tightly. What did this guy eat? He just interrupted my plan.

He took me into his car and locked his door. He sat next to me. I was really weak. I couldn't move much more. I just obeyed his steps. He breathed quickly maybe he was too tired, following me until here. He drank a bottle water, within a second he finished it.

He was about to speak but he stopped. He took a deep breath and continued looking at me.

"She loves you!," he said confidently while touching my shoulder. In his car, after trying to kill myself then I heard this?

Zayn's P.O.V
...flashback....
"Shut up!," Ava shouted after arguing with Niall. Niall had been Ava's enemy since elementary school. The enemy that she liked. I knew she had feelings on Niall. So did Niall.

"Zayn!," she came to me with her eyes shining brightly. She smiled after arguing with him. Their arguments were just stupid but they were funny too.

"What?," I asked, continued sketching on my sketchbook. Ignoring what had just happened but deep inside my heart, I was jealous. I acted normally and Ava as usual acted cheerfully with her cracking jokes.

"You know what? I hate that rich kid! He's so stupid!," said Ava beating my shoulder softly. She always said she hated him but I knew what it meant she liked him. She used that word because she couldn't accept the fact that she fell for him.

"Well whatever...," I kept on drawing. She laughed happily. It's hurt. She didn't like me. I liked her for years. She treated me like a brother. She thought I was her sibling. Did she know that I wanted her to be happy. I wanted the best for her even though I was here feeling sad. If she was happy, I would smile for her too.

(Now...)
"Yea... She loves you man!," I convinced Niall. I could say his eyes were shining brightly as I said this. He was paralyzed. I knew it since the beginning. I smirked at him. I nodded a few times with a confident face.

"Really?," Niall was shocked. I knew he had a desire to live again. I didn't want him to die. He deserved her instead of me. His blue eyes kept staring into mine and I knew they were smiling.
