9. Harry Are You Okay?

Cece

After leaving the boardwalk, Harry and I went back home. All of the boys were sitting on the couch with a sad expression on their faces. Well, all of the boys except for Niall. He was no where in sight.

"What's wrong?" I asked, walking over to Liam.

"Niall, he's just been a mess all day. I think it has something to do with a girl." Louis explained.

"I'll go check on him, Cece would you like to come?" Harry asked. I nodded following him up the stairs to Niall's room. From outside of the door, you could hear his sobs. I knocked quietly on the white wooden door.

"Niall, it's Cece and Harry." I announced quietly. I heard shuffling before a crying Niall opened the door and embraced me in an unexpected hug.

"Niall, what's wrong?" I whispered, walking into his room, while he still hugged me.

"Zuly, she's dating someone." His sobs became louder when he mentioned her name.

"You like her?" I asked. I didn't know how to handle this. Harry was standing in the corner watching us.

"I love her. She's so perfect and beautiful. But she only sees me as a friend. I'm so pathetic!" He screamed pushing me away from him. It wasn't that bad that he pushed me. Except I fell off the bed and hit my head on the wooden chair.

"Cece!" The minute it happened Harry was at my side.

"I'm fine. It's fine." I assured them, rubbing my head.

"Shit Cece I'm sorry." Niall apologized.

"Profanity." I mumbled sitting on the chair, not too far from Niall, but putting enough distance.

"She doesn't know what she's missing. You're a great guy, any girl would want to date you." I smiled at him.

"Even you?" He asked hopefully. My eyes widened, and Harry choked on his own spit.

"No, not me. But don't take it personally, I wouldn't want to date anyone." I told him, trying to keep things from being awkward.

"How about we go get some Starbucks before it closes?" I suggested.

"No I don't want Starbucks. I'm Irish not white." That had Harry and I laughing.

"How about we just get some junk food from the store and come watch a movie?" Niall's eyes lit up.

"Meet you both in Harry's car!" He yelled running down the stairs, both Harry and I chasing after him.

"Wait!" I came to a halt at the front door Harry's body slamming into mine. We both fell to the ground, Zayn helping both of us up.

"Were going to the store do any of you want something?" I asked them.

"Ooh were coming with!" Louis yelled running outside.

We arrived at the gasoline station store, no one really there except for the workers. All of us ran out of Harry's range rover and started to pick our favorite snacks. Niall was running around the isles looking for his favorite spicy potato chips.

"Found them!" Two voices spoke at once. This couldn't be good. I walked over to where Niall and a young teenage boy were both holding onto a bag of chips.

"I got it first!" The boy shouted, looking at Niall with deadly eyes.

"No I got it first!" Niall argued. I couldn't believe he was arguing with a little boy.

"Hey boys, why don't we just settle this nicely and-"

"Shut up bitch." The boy cut me off.

"Profanity!" I exclaimed.
