Chapter 23

MaliksMidnightMemory got the dedication for guessing the song right first it was Say Something

Niall's POV:

I huffed and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Why couldn't she understand that it was just a mistake? I was just trying to protect my secret from her so she wouldn't think different of me. I didn't want her to stop loving me. I know how hard it was for her and I was lucky to be the one she loved. It'd taken a long time to open her up and show her I really loved her. I could still remember the time when she told me she loved me. I remembered every single detail about that moment. Her captivating blue eyes were clouded by moisture, meaning she was about to cry. Her chestnut colored hair was cascading down her back perfectly. Her soft, gentle hands were slightly sweaty, indicating she was nervous. Her nimble fingers were intertwined with mine and her breaths were heavy. She was wearing a blue hoodie and her baggy cargo pants. Yes, I remembered almost every detail.

Now if only she would forgive me, this burden would be lifted off my chest.

More importantly, if she would love me, I would be able to live again.

Avalon's POV:

I walked into the cafeteria and spotted Chrissy. Niall was sitting with them. He had moved to another table for a while, but now he was back. I didn't want to come between Chrissy, Brandon, and Niall's friendship so I slowly turned on my heel and sulked to the library.

As soon as I entered, the smell of new books engulfed me. That was my favorite scent.

I walked down the shelves, my fingers tracing through the different books. Each one had a different world, a different person's life written in it. Worlds I could get lost in. I could escape from my own world and enter a new one where all my problems were nonexistent. That's what I loved about reading.

I picked one book off the shelf that seemed like I hadn't read and went to the front desk to check it out. The kind librarian, pushed her glasses up to the bridge of her nose and checked the book out for me. I nodded in thanks and left the library.

I bumped into somebody and I saw it was Chrissy.

"Hey, where were you?" She asked.

"Library." I simply answered.

"I was looking for you."

"Oh."

"Why didn't you come to the table?" She asked, curiously. "Because of Niall?"

I nodded. I thought it was pretty obvious.

"I have to tell you what happened."

*Flashback in Chrissy's POV*

I chatted with Brandon and he playfully kissed me on my cheek.

"Hey guys." Somebody interrupted us. It was Niall.

"Hey." I said quietly. Brandon greeted him with their infamous handshake.

"Chrissy I need to talk to you." Niall whispered and sat down in front of me.

"Okay go ahead."

"Well Avalon is acting strange. You know how she used to ignore me completely? Now she's like talking to me a little. Do you know why?" Niall asked, staring straight into my eyes.

"Uh I um d-don't know." I stuttered. I was a terrible liar and Niall knew it.

"Chrissy." He warned, shooting me a glare.

"Fine. Iaccidentlytoldheryoursecret." I said really quickly, in one breath.

"WHAT?" Niall shouted at me. Rage was the understatement of what I was seeing. "How could you?"

"I'm sorry, I thought she deserved to know!" I explained briefly.

"Now she'll never love me!" He shouted again. Pain was visible in his eyes and body language.

"That's not true. Go talk to her, she's been meaning to talk to you." I told him.

"I still can't believe you told her," he sighed. "But fine. I'll talk to her."

"Niall?"

"What?" He asked.

"She really deserved to know. She has been a mess and so have you. Go and fix things. You guys are meant to be." I finished. The last sentence was what Niall had told me about Brandon and I. I decided to repeat it for him, because they really were meant to be together.

*Flasback over*

"So yeah he was really mad." Chrissy told me.

"Yeah I can see that." I nodded. I wonder when our talk would take place. I was getting nervous about that.

"Chrissy I don't know whether or not to forgive him." I sighed, rubbing my forehead.

"Follow your heart Av. I know it's hard, but think about if he truly makes you happy." She replied, offering me a smile.

"Okay thank you." I nodded. She leaned in for a hug and hugged her back.

"Well tell me what happens!" She exclaims, before we leave.

I lay on my bed, peering at my textbook. I stared at the words, not comprehending any. My mind was full of swirling thoughts about Niall. What was I going to do?

Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring. I jumped up from my bed, walked down the stairs and to the front door. I stood on my tip toes and looked through the peep hole. Niall?

I opened the door and cradled my arms, because of the sudden cold coming in the house.

Niall stood there, swaying a bit.

"Hey Avalonnn!" He slurred, looking at me and grinning. His eyes were a deeper shade of blue and his cheeks were flushed into a red hue.

"Are you drunk?" I asked quickly.

"No! What makes you think that?" He slurred again and poked my cheek with his finger while chuckling uncontrollably.

"Niall you're drunk."

Note: soooo why do you think he's drunk? What do you think is going to happen next?

Guess the song for a dedication: "I just wanna feel your body right next to mine. All night long. Baby, ____ ____ the song."

Would you guys prefer me updating slow but long chapters or short but quick chapters? I love you guys so much- stargurl<3
