The Broken and Hurt (Niall Horan)

Chapter 23

Lizzies POV

It was about 345 am when I finally fell asleep. The days events were both tiring and awakening. I still cant get over that my brother is engaged! Its crazy. it seems like yesterday tony and I were walking to primary school together. I remeber the day I first met Maggie Watson. It was 5 years ago when my brother came home from uni around mid november. Tony walks in an introduced my mum and I to a short, chirpy redheaded girl that he has been dating for a few months. Maggie was a bit shy until I slipped in the kitchen. She looked at my brother, who was laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face, and then started giggling uncontrollably.  The rest of that night was perfect. I saw the way they clicked so easily. My 11 year old self knew that this relationship was different than the ones Tony had in secondary shool and college. Im so glad that they found each other. Tony and Maggie are soulmates. They complete each other and make one another better. They are the bestest of friends and know each other better than anyone else. the bond that Tony and Maggie have with each other is something that cant be put into words. I hope everyone finds that one person that acdepts them though everything, makes you blush with each compliment as it was the first, and just be your best friend. Thats what I want.

My mind wanders to Niall. Whenever im with him I cant help but smile. His presence lightens my mood beyond what my music does. Scenarios of him and I play through my head as I eat a bowl of Lucky Charms. Everything seems to remind me of him. Even this cereal. Funny how certain people can do that to you.

My daydreams are interrupted by the voices of the 1975. I shake my head to focus my thoughts. I look down to my phone, the screen is lit up with Niall's number. I slide the unlock bar across the screen and press my phone up to my ear.

" Hello?"   "Hey Elizabeth. how are you?" " Hey Niall. Im delightful. and yourself? "   " better now knowing you didnt explode from excitement."

I blush and smile like an idiot. thank goodness he cant see me. I giggle like a school girl.

"yup still here. and not going anywhere anytime soon. so are we still up for hanging today? "  " uh..yea. Im dropping Ed off at his friends house pretty soon. and was calling to ask if you wanted me to pick you up. "  

I scan the kitchen appliances until I find a clock. 11:37. perfect. " um. sure. what time will you be by then?"   " im dropping ed off in a couple minutes. so a quarter to noon."   " wonderful.  ill see you then I guess."  "I guess you will. see you soon Elizabeth"   " bye niall."

with the call ended I run upstairs.  I throw on a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a big grey jumper with some Doc Martin boots. my haor is pulled back into a loose ponytail with some strands falling into my face. I still have my makeup on from last night and it doesnt look too bad so I dont mess with it. Purse....purse....purse. There. I grab my small black backpack. wallet, house keys chapstick, gum, and some hair grips.  I check my phone. 11:43. I run downstairs and meet my mum.

" where are you going Liz?"

"my friend and I are going out. ill be home" *buzz* " later. but not too late. bye love you"

"ok. bye sweetie. be safe" I check the screen and run out the door. A black sedan pulls into the driveway. I open the passenger door and jump in. im greeted by the dazzling blue green eyes and estatic smile.

" hi niall"  "hey elizabeth. I hope you dont mind that we go see a film. " he says as we drive away from my house. " i love films! I cant wait. which one do you want to see?"   "dont judge me but I kinda want to see Frozen." he looks over at me. " the on we with the queen and she has ice powers?" he nods. "Me too! It looks really good! we should see that." " frozen it is!"

we drove for a few more minutes with no noise but the radio.  I realised as we were queuing for the tickets that people were giving Niall looks and sometimes me as well. it seemed off to me. are we doing something wrong? is there something on my shirt? or on niall? I look him over just in case. He is dressed in black jeans, a white tshirt, a thick gret zip up, nike trainers and beanie. his tufts of blond hair poke out under his hat.  There is nothing off about his appearance. I dont understand why people are giving him looks.  Whatever. weirdos.  we go and sit down and watch the movie. The movie is filled with humour, lessons and people sharing food with reindeer.

I get up to toss away the empty cup and popcorn bowl container thing and meet Niall at the door. we walk out as it starts to rain. We hurry to the car laughing and shouting. Niall turns in the car and lets it heat up for a minute.  Parts of his hair that are showing are now plastered to his face.  im sure mine is too. I can practically feel my make up dripping of my face with each drop. a singular raindrop makes its way to the little pink scar on Nialls face and neck. i reach out and wipe it off it jawline. He flinches under my sudden touch and recoil my arm quickly. Our eyes lock.  we say nothing. we lean in closer until  our foreheads are resting in each other.   the rain patters on the car windows and there is a low hum coming from the radio. everything about this moment is perfect.  Just as our lips are about to meet....." Niall.  I uh think your phone is ringing." as fall out boy starts emitting from his phone.  I sit back in my seat as Niall answers the person calling him.

'hello? yea. now? ok. thats fine. see you in about 10 minutes. ill call you when im there. alright. bye. love ya too little buddy. '

he turns to face me. " that was ed. i have to go pick him up. so ill drop you off then. Is that fine?"

"thats fine. I have to do laundry when I get back home."  "okay. thats what we'll do then." 

the car ride is chock full of singing and random movie references. by the time we pull into my driveway, there are tears prickling my eyes and my sides ache. 

"today was fun Elizabeth. maybe next time it wont rain."  "it was. and I like the rain.  it makes things interesting."   " how so?"  " i don't know. It can bring people together and make some adventures  a bit more exciting. I guess it helps when you experience those things first hand." I shrug with a smile.  " I guess youre right. those types of adventures sound fun." " they do. well ill let you go and pick up your brother." "alright. bye Elizabeth. " as we hug, I plant a light kiss on his cheek right above his scar. 

I open the car door and run to the door. I change into a pair of leggings and a hooded sweatshirt from the 2012 London Olympics that I got when Coach Greg brought the whole team down to see the track events. I hope to run in the 2016 Games in Rio. I brought my wet clothes downstairs and put them in the washer. I grab a packet of crackers and head back up to my room. As I sit down and eat some crackers I didnt realise how tired I actually was since I was up until 345 in the morning.  I soon find myself alseep soon after sitting down.  my dreams replay the sweet memories of the past.

shaken from my imagination as the 1975 start ringing in my ear again.  Ive been asleep for 4 hours. its now 1053. Nialls ID blinks on the screen. Why is he calling so late?  better answer it, could be about school or something.

"hey niall. whats up?"

"E-Elizabeth? I...we need you. can you come pick us up? its bad. like really bad this time. im afraid"
