Back- A Niall Horan Fanfiction

Chapter 16

Niall's POV

I watch as Morganne shuts the sliding door behind her, breaking our eye contact.

Once I hear the lock click I turn around to face the ocean and make my way off her patio.

I feel the now cool sand on my feet as I walk one house down to my own home thinking about the events that had just occurred.

I'm so fucking confused.

Shes that last person i would expect to be at a house party, especially since she doesn't know a whole lot of people.

Then she was hanging out with Zayn and Perrie...

And on top of that she was being really weird to me, saying stuff like I didn't know her or whatever.

I mean yeah I haven't seen her in a while but we were friends for a long time.

But people do change.

I sound so dumb- Just listen to me!

Of course people change! We were like 10 or 11 last time we were together. We knew nothing about anything, we were only children.

But Morganne did know one thing, she knew pain.

She's no stranger to pain. Even when we were kids I could see how hurt she felt, years after her mom left.

When we were younger and I looked into her eyes, with all of my youthful innocence I could see she had been through a lot.

Being left by her mother penetrated her much deeper than it would have to most.

It left her completely traumatized.

You would think since she was so young it wouldn't have affected her so much because she hadn't even spent that much time with her mom.

But all it did was engrave into her mind that she wasn't good enough.

That it was her fault her mum left because she didn't love her enough, Morganne wasn't good enough.

It still breaks my heart when I think about my best friend asking her dad where her mum was, and when she would return.

Just picturing her face when it finally hit her she wouldn't see her mum again.

The bright light shining on my back porch breaks me out of my thoughts of a forever broken hearted girl.

She deserves so much more than that, if only she would let me in again instead of shutting me out as a result of years of estrangement.

A lot of things might have confused me tonight but one thing is clear- I'm gonna find a way to make her let me in, she needs someone.
