Angel Tears - A Niall Horan Fan Fiction

Chapter 4

Luce never came to class on Friday. Not even on Monday or Tuesday.

I started to worry, hoping that she was okay.

"Don't worry to much mate, maybe she is feeling ill." Louis said, trying to comfort me. When I last saw her at the shop, she didn't seem ill; but there is probably a bigger reason why she skipped school.

Louis and I walked into class of English, Luce wasn't there, what a shocker.

Throughout the whole class period I couldn't help but keep looking at the door, hoping she would walk through the doorway any second now. But alas, she did not come.

After all those classes, and boring lectures it was finally lunch time. I would skip just to go into the music room to see if she was there.

"Mate, you need to eat. It's not like you to not eat anything." Liam complained, I glanced to the boys to see their concerned looks.

"Alright," I knew it was pointless to fight back, besides I really am hungry. Zayn and Harry both gave me bits and pieces of their own lunches.

"The Halloween dance is coming up in a couple weeks, have any of you guys asked a girl yet?" Zayn asked, trying to disrupt the mood.

"I'm going with Lizzy." Harry stated.

"I'm going with Eleanor, she hasn't been out in a while." Louis said while tuna fish was stuffed in his mouth.

"I'm thinking either Perrie or Martha, which one do you think I should go with?" Zayn asked us again.

"I go for Perrie, she's hot." Harry told him.

"What about you Niall? Gonna ask Luce, gonna get it on!" Louis snickered as the rest of the boys. I was about to snap back at him when a girl in a black sweater and converse caught my eye.

I got up from my seat and and ran away from the confused looks. "Luce!" I yelled as I ran more faster towards her. She looked at me with wide eyes before turning away from me.

"Luce wait!" She disappeared into the hallway before I could catch her. I still followed and to my surprise she stopped dead in the middle of the hallway, her fist clenched together.

I walked towards her, she was staring at someone. I looked to where she was staring at, a group of cheerleaders. Gina, I immediately thought.

As if the devil could read my mind, she stepped towards Luce.

"So your name is Luce uh?" she smirked at the trembling girl in front of her, who was trying to step away from the group of sluts crowding her. Gina pushed pass Luce with her shoulder.

"Niall, sometimes I worry thinking why you go for a lame excuse of a girl." I gave Gina a glare then looking over to Luce, she looked as if she was going to break any minute.

I didn't say anything, pushing past the group I went to hold Luce. I try to ignore the electric current, the same feeling from the first time I touched her.

She gasped at my gesture, but then pulled me closer to her, her head snuggled into my chest. As I held her I noticed how perfectly short she was, her head came up to my chin, her body fit perfectly against mine. "Let's go." was all I said. I grabbed her hand, the same feeling tingling where she touched it. Not once did I look back at Gina, we just kept on walking towards the music room.

Once we were there, I grabbed a couple of chairs for us to sit on.

"You didn't have to do that." she broke the silence.

"Do what?"

"Defend me. Save me." she said quietly, almost to a whisper.

"Why wouldn't I?" she shrugged her shoulders before looking down at her palms. I instantly clasped my whole hand around her cool fingers. She gasped and I could sense her getting tense with my sudden touch.

That shock in my hand happened again, does she feel it? Is that why she is tense?" I rubbed her knuckles with my thumb, trying to ease her a bit.

"Why didn't you come to school over the last couple of days?" I asked her.

"I needed to figure out a few things."

"Care to tell me?" I smiled, she gave me a little grin.

"No, but maybe in the future I will tell you." she grinned, I beamed at her.

"I can't wait till then." And that was the truth.
