Chapter 20

I just want to say thank you so much for all the comments in the last chapter! You guys honestly made me feel so better! I was actually confident in school the next day :) thank you so much everybody.



Avalon's POV:

I felt my eyelids slowly opening. I blinked as my vision adjusted to the light.

I jumped slightly as I felt someone's tight grip on my waist. It was Niall.

His eyes were closed and he looked so peaceful. His body fell up and down due to his heavy breaths. He wasn't wearing a shirt, but still a warmth radiated off of him. I wanted him to open his eyes so I could stare into his deep,beautiful eyes that I envied. But I didn't want that, because then we would have to face our problems.

I closed my eyes again, trying to pretend nothing had happened. I pressed my head in the curve of his neck, biting my lip so hard so the memories couldn't be remembered.

Why couldn't we always be like this? Not caring about a single thing, just being lost in each other, but not aware. I actually liked this state, because our problems went away.

I appreciated how he'd saved me yesterday. That was heroic of him, and I don't know what would've happened to me if he was too late. At this point, I broke out into tears, not realizing they were falling onto Niall's back. He stirred in his sleep, and gripped my waist tighter. His face squinted up and I wondered what he was thinking. I touched his face gently. Niall's hand flew up to his face and grabbed my hand. I was surprised as he slowly caressed it. His eyes opened and I was stunned by the sudden blueness of his eyes.

"Watching me while I was asleep ay?" He asked, smirking.

I turned away from him, and lay on my other side.

"Oh c'mon Av. I was just joking." He said touching my back gently.

I flipped back around and picking up the little courage I had, I slapped him. I took one last look at his shocked face as I hopped out of his bed and ran into the hallway. I grabbed my things from the guest room and started walking towards the door. I was done with all of this crap.

"Avalon!" Niall shouted as I approached the door. Of course he was faster than me so he ran up towards the door and stood in front of it.

"Don't go." He whispered. His cheeks were flushed, especially his left cheek where I had slapped him.

I felt a sudden anger in me and that words that were bottled up inside of me came spilling out.

"You kissed her! Right in front of me! I know this was all a lie. This was all out of pity. So you can get away from me. Thanks for saving me last night but Niall I don't want to speak to you ever again."

"But I have a reason." Niall whispered, barely loud enough so I could hear.

"And what may that be?" I spat at him.

"I can't tell you..." He trailed offs

"Why?" I asked sternly. He bowed down his head like he was ashamed. "See this proves everything has been a lie."

"No Avalon it hasn't," he whispered, looking at the ground. "I love you."

I ran my hands through my hair and down mg face in frustration. He wasn't understanding my point.

"Please Niall. If you truly want me to be happy, you'll let me go. I can't got though this pain repeatedly." I said. As much as it pained me to say it, I just had to. He sighed and ever so slowly walked away from the door.

"I want you to know in sorry." Niall said as I was walking out of the door. I shook my head, not acknowledging his last plea.


********

(Two days later)

"Avalon!" Chrissy called to me as I walked in the hallway of high school. I felt like I should be mad at her, but I wasn't. She was Niall's friend, but she wasn't a part of his betrayal. She was as surprised as me.

I turned around. I hadn't really talked to anybody after the incident.

"Hey." I whispered, tugging on my hood nervously. I was back to my baggy sweatshirts and pants.

"Niall's a jerk." She said, giving me a quick hug to make me feel better.

"I know." I nodded. The memories were still painful.

"Did he tell you why?"

"No. He just told me he couldn't."

"That son of a bitch!" She said, looking like she was ready to punch somebody.

"You know?" I asked miserably.

"Yes Avalon. Niall has a secret.."





Note: Cliffhanger haha sorry guys! Love youuu ;) so yeah I'm kind of unsure of what the secret could be.. But I have an idea of it! And no this secret thing wasn't planned before, that's why I didn't drop hints previously. Someone had a question about that, so I wanted to clear that up. Okay so thanks for reading bbys<3 if you want to talk to me, message me on Kik! I'm going to be free all weekend so feel free to kik kik me -stargurl :)
