Chapter 6: Hidden Love

Chapter 6:

~Sadia's P.O.V.~

After my next class, I met up with Carlie to go to our last class of the day. "So?" She asks me. "Did you find him?" I glanced over at her and she looks at me with raised eyesbrows.

"What do you think? I was only missing for an hour.. no biggie." I shrug my shoulders.

"No biggie? Girl, what happened? Why were you with him that long?" Carlie questions me.

"Uh, it's kind of a long story," I say, trying to get my way out of explaining.

"Uh, we kind of have all the rest of today.. So fes up! What happened? You in loooooove?" She says with a small grin.

"Woah, let's take a pause on that, and I'll tell you when we get to our dorm, okay?" I ask pleadingly.

"Ok, fine, whatever." She says, even though it only takes about another minute until we're in the dorm.

Once back in the dorm, we grab a bite of candy. Me a Butterfinger, her a Snickers. once we settle down on our beds I begin. "So, I uh, went in the cafe to try and find him and he wasn't there. So, I went up to the guys' dorms and heard a loud sob and some mumbling. I knew it was Niall, no one else was in their dorms really. I told him to let me in and he was being a bit stubborn but he finally let me in. God, Carlie. he was a mess! His eyes were so bloodshot and his t-shirt stained rom all his tears. It looked like he has been crying all day." I paused.

"And...?" Carlie asked suspiciously.

"I asked him what was up and he said his sister died in a car crash, kind of like ours. God, Carlie, he was bawling; I felt so bad!" I said. I looked down at my hands kind of awkwardly, hoping for her to fill the silence.

Carlie got up off her bed and came over to mine. She sat next to me and put her arm around my shoulder. "Aww, babe it's okay. He was just a bit upset, that's not your fault," She said to comfort me.

"But, Carlie. That's-- that's not it. The thing is, is I uh, umm.." I shifted awardly our of her hold on my shoulder. She looked at me confused.

"What? Sade, what happened girl? You can tell me, it's okay. Trust me, aright?" I looked at her and nodded.

"I kissed him." Silence. Dead. Nothing. Not even a word for what seemed like hours. I looked up at Carlie.

"I thought you didn't like him.." Carlie whispered.

"I-I don't-didn't. Now, I just, I don't know. I thikn I like him, but I- I don't know. It's all so confusing." Carlie nodded. "Kind of liked mixed emotions, you know?" She nodded again.

"I really don't know what to tell ya, sis. I'd say that that was your natural reaction and everthing, but I don't know. Maybe you really do like him? I mean, I don't know how you really feel about him." I looked at her. Maybe she is right. Do I like him? He's cute and all, and he did save me, but I don't know. Maybe I'll just sleep on it.

"I think we should definitely sleep on it. Good idea." She said with a smile. I looked at her like she was crazy. How did she know what I said? "Don't worry I don't read minds, I swear. You just spoke out loud, sorry. Haha." And with that, she grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom. I don't know what to think. Why did I kiss him? Is it because I love him, or was it to comfort him? I'm so confused. My iPhone screen lit up. It was a text from 228-465-3379. (Made up number, lol) Who is that? I wondered. The message read, "Hey, Thanks." Thanks for what? "Who is this?" I replied to the mysterious sender. There was no reply, so I went ahead and grabbed my p.j's and some makeup remover.

Within minutes, Carlie came back out in her p.j's with her glasses on. I quickly grabbed mhy pajama's and changed as fast as I could. I had to figure out who this person was, and how they got my number. I grabbed my makeup remover and placed some on a small sponge and wiped all of my makeup off. I took out my earrings and looked myself in the mirror. "Do I love Niall?" I asked myself. Just then, my iPhone lit up again. "Check your notes, love." What? No one had my phone in the past few days. Who could it be?
