Half A Heart

True Friends

Daya's POV

'You know you love me, I know you care. Just shout whe-' I turned off the alarm and got out of bed. I really got to know Niall last night. My dad even seems to like him! That's rare. He probably liked him because he can play basketball with him.

I headed over to my closet to get my clothes for today. A high waisted, sunflower skirt that goes to about mid thigh, and a white tube top should suffice. I threw my clothes on than walked into the bathroom.

I did my hair and makeup the same as the previous day. I walked out of the bathroom and grabbed a pair of white TOMS than headed downstairs.

"Aiden are you ready?" I asked as I put the dirty cereal bowl into the sink.

"Yeah!" Aiden came running down the steps with his backpack over his shoulder. We walked into the garage than hopped into the car.

~~~~~~

Okay, second day of school should be good. I'll just ignore Charolette.

I stepped out of the car and watched as Aiden ran over to his friends. I looked around the school yard. It seemed like every student was outside talking with their friends. I finally spotted Ella and walked over to their group.

"Hey guys!" I said as I reached them. All heads snapped in my direction.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Amelia asked.

"I had to go attend a family emergency." I lied. These where my new friends and I've already lied to them. They all nodded in understanding.

"I don't know if you heard or not but we got out early." Will stated.

"Yeah, Niall told me."

"Niall? Like the Niall?" Ella questioned.

"Yeah."

"So he's your new bestfriend huh?" Asked Amelia.

"Excuse me?"

"Look, we like you Daya. But if you want to be our friend you need to stop hanging out with him." Nathan told me.

"You want me to pick between you guys and Niall?" I asked. To be honest I don't think Ella and Louise really care if I hang out with Niall. They just sat there quietly looking at their laps while I had to make a hard decision.

"Just tell us at the end of the day what you want!" Will spoke before they all stood up and walked away.

"Hey Daya!" I turned around to look at Niall. He was smiling, but than instantly stopped once he saw my facial expression.

"I'm sorry." I mouthed before grabbing my bag and walking away. I glanced back once more and noticed Niall looking at the ground. He almost looked hurt. I stopped right there in my tracks.

"Daya come on." Will said. I guess they saw me walking over to them.

"I'm not doing it!" I spoke while turning around and walking up to my group of 'friends'

"Niall's my friend, and even though he may not talk to you guys that much. You've never given him a chance. He's a really nice guy and I'd rather be friends with Niall, not because he's 'popular' but because he's a real friend. And real friends wouldn't make me choose between you guys." I turned back around and walked over to Niall slowly.

"Hey Niall." I said while approaching him.

"What?" He snapped.

He was laying down in the grass looking up at the sky with his arms behind his head. I walked over and sat down beside him as he continued to lay.

"I'm sor-" I started.

"Don't be. I get it. Why be friends with Niall Horan the 'popular' guy at school when your friends say he will just be a jerk to you? Why don't you go back over with your true friends?" He said.

"Nia-"

"Nevermind I'm leaving." He spoke while getting up and walking away.

"Look who ditched you know!" Amelia called. I looked back at the rest of them and frowned. Maybe they where right. Niall wasn't a friend of mine.

Behind them sat the group Niall hangs out with. Everyone kept glancing over at me while Niall just looked at the ground. I stood up.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I told my 'friends' before walking into the school. I headed into the bathroom than heard the fire alarm go off.

"FIIRREE!!" I heard Mr.Trimolona.

I went to go run out of the bathroom when Charolette walked in.

"Oh, hello Daya." She said with a smirk on her face.

"Hello!' I said. I tried to go around her but she instantly stepped infront of me so I couldn't.

"Where you going?" She asked. Once again with a smirk on her face.

"Out of the bathroom. Don't you hear the fire alarm?" I asked.

"Yeah I hear it. I'm the one who lit the match." She ran out of the bathroom and closed the door. When I went to open it I found that it was locked. That's when I started to freak out.

The room was full of smoke and I could hardely breathe.

"Help." Was the last thing I remembered saying before falling to the ground with a thump.

Niall's POV

Our homeroom class was all standing outside waiting for the school to be calmed down.

"No, Mr. Simon she's in there she went to the bathroom and never came back out and she's no where to be found." I heard Daya's friend Ella cry to the teacher. She had tears rushing down her face.

"What are you trying to say?" He asked her.

"Daya's still in the school!" My heart practically stopped beating. I bolted away from the group and heard Mr. Simon yell for me to come back, but I ignored him. I ran into the back entrance of the school and straight to the girls bathroom.

"Help." I heard a faint voice say threw the door.

"Daya!' I screamed but there was not reply. I found that the door was locked so I unlocked it and ran in. She was laying in the corner her eyes closed. I ran over and scopped her up in my arms. I ran threw the school than out the way I came in. As I was in sight of every teacher to see me Aiden ran over to me.

"What happened." He asked frantically.

"She was locked in the bathroom." The parametics came over to us and I layed her down on a stretcher.

They pulled her into the ambulance and Aiden hopped in.

"Come on Niall." He yelled. I hopped into the van and they began driving off. I grabbed Daya's small hand into mine and cried. This is my fault. If I wouldn't have walked away from her she wouldn't have gone into the school alone.

I felt her hand move than I looked down she was squeezing my hand. I smiled internally.

"She'll be alright, Niall." I looked up to Aiden who was looking at me. I smiled a weak smile before tiliting my head back down to Daya.

Please be okay
