She Never Left...(ON HOLD)

Bad dream... ):

VANESSA'S POV

"I don't know what to say? You know it is difficult.", I said.
"I know it is, but I have been feeling this way for a long time and I can't hold it any longer.",he said.
"But why now? Why now after such a long time? Why now when you have to leave?", I asked.
"I had to say it now because I can't hold it any longer. You don't have to tell me right away. You can take your time. You call me when you are ready to tell me or I will call you. Let me know then.", he said with a smile.

I couldn't say anything and stood there watching him walk out of the door, out of the house and then just leave with a last smile and few tears in his eyes and in mine eyes too. Then the next thing I knew was that he was seated in his car and just left. I wanted him to wait, wait so that I could make him understand...

"No. Wait. Please wait. I've got to tell this to you right now.", I screamed and got up to see that I was in my bed and this was just a dream. My throat had dried and I was having tears in my eyes and a glass of water was just what I needed right now.

Char had gotten up and looked worried about me but I told her it was just a bad dream that I had and nothing else so she went back to bed.

I lay back on my bed thinking why was I not able to tell him back then. It would have made things much more easier and maybe much more better. But then I also had this thought that I tried telling him so many times, tried making him understand. Tried so hard to make things right but he was the reluctant one to not even listen to me. Why should I be the only one to suffer? Why should I be the only one to feel guilty?

I had tried my level best to make us what we were before, I had tried for four long years. I think I am over thinking about it and stressing my mind without any reason. That was my past and now it should not matter to me anymore after six years. I drifted off to sleep while having the same thought in mind.

NIALL'S POV

It has been a really tiring day. All the studio recordings and stuff have exhausted me completely. I am exhausted yet I am not able to sleep. Tomorrow we have to go see the arena for the concert. That means I would be seeing Vanessa. Let's hope for the best. I keep thinking of her whenever I have time when I don't even have the idea about what she feels about me. And then Harry is the one to whom I have been telling everything but lately he has also been busy.
____________
I don't know when I fell asleep last night but I feel much better now. Liam is already ready to go and has been calling me from like what seems to be forever.
Phone rings...
"Hey."
"Are you ready sleepyhead?!?", he yelled from the other end.
"Yes, I am. Where are you?"
"I will be there at your place in like 5 minutes."
"Okay. Cool. See you then."

VANESSA'S POV

We are supposed to go to the arena to make all the necessary arrangements. After trying to force dad to stay at home, he has convinced me that he would be coming for sometime and then would leave. I could not deny it, he is really good at convincing people. So let's hope that everything goes fine.

I am really tensed about doing this because this is gonna be the first time our company is sponsoring an event with me as the CEO. I hope it all goes well. At other instances dad would just send his assistant to see if everything was fine but this time I want to personally see that everything is perfect.

NIALL'S POV

We all are going to the arena in Liam's car, he picked us all up and some of us even forcefully(Harry, because apparently 3 and a half hours weren't enough to get ready!!!).

We were just having a discussion about how the schedule for the next day would be as we were almost at the arena. When we got down from the car I thought of talking about Vanessa.
"Vanessa, she is a sweet girl, very responsible herself...", I said.
"Excuse me guys... I have got to take this call, it's mom.", Liam said and left.
" Yeah. It is really difficult. I mean she is handling the biggest business empire in all of United Kingdom if I am not mistaken.", Louis said.
"She even told me that she is a big one direction fan...", I said.
"Where did that come from??", Harry asked.
"I thought I would just mention it...", I said.
"Yeah, she is among the world's 25 most influential women according to Forbes. I read the other day.", Harry said.

When we got inside, Vanessa was talking to a man and Simon, maybe that man is her father. We went up there with Paul behind us.

When we reached near them we met Liam who came running from outside.
"Sorry guys missed the small chat. It was mom, had to take the call.", he said.
"It is good to see you guys are on time.", said Simon.
"All thanks to Liam.", Harry said with a little sarcastic tone to the statement.
"So meet him, this is George Williams and you guys already have met Vanessa.", he said.
"It's a pleasure meeting you boys.", George said.
He walkes away to discuss something with Simon while Vanessa came over to talk to us.
"Hi, nice meeting you guys.",she said.
"Guys excuse me.", Zayn said and walked away. She looked at him go away and then paused for a while.
"Vanessa!!!", I said.
"Yeah...I was about to ask how have you been. Hope it wasn't a trouble to come up here this early."
"No it definitely wasn't.", Louis said with a smile.
"Vanessa, would you come here for a minute.", her dad called her from where he was standing with Simon.
"Sorry won't be able to talk.", she said and left.
After sometime Zayn can back and we started talking about random stuff.I think there is something wrong with Liam.
"Hey mate is there a problem?", I asked concerned.
"No. Not at all. Just missing mom.", he said reassuringly.
"We would be going home soon,hopefully.", I said patting his back.
We all went out different directions inside the arena. I and Harry were walking around just checking out the place and I suddenly heard Vanessa's voice.
"But I tried. Infact tried hard to make it all right. I have been trying for like four long years. You were the one who did not have time to listen, to understand why it all happened. It wasn't my fault.", she said.
"Yeah that's totally  what 'you' would say.", someone said.
"Have I said anything wrong. I tried and even you know that I did.", she said with anger building up in her tone.
"We are over with this. I don't wanna talk about it or rather with you. Goodbye.", the person said angrily.
"Is that....?", I said looking at Harry with a shocked expression.
"I think it is...", he said with the same expression on his face.
