Secrets

Chapter 13

Harry's P.O.V

I can't believe I got that off my chest. All those years of loneliness and no her, finally pay off to say those words out loud to her. Her face looks shocked, and sad. I car believe her parents never told her. I use to talk to them everyone In a while after the accident, but one day it just stopped. I was 15 when that happened. That's when I just kinda snapped. I was never the same after that. Not knowing how she is or if she likes her school. It hurt. That's when I first joined Niall's group. I didn't have tattoos before that, but now they cover my arms and parts of my chest. The words I said were true. All of them. I want to warn her about tomorrow. But I can't. Its gonna hurt her, an me. And I think Niall might have real feelings for her. just maybe....

Niall's P.O.V

How do I do it? This is going to be like killing a newborn puppy. I'm going to drown in her eyes. I'm gonna hurt her so bad. And I don't want that. Not at all. Why did I have to agree to this? I guess I could blame it on the alcohol. But that would be not true. Why did I even start to pick on her? Oh right. Now I remember. Because I asked her out in I think 2nd grade. She said no ad didn't come to school the next day, and the next day, and the next day. Soon, she didn't come back for a couple months. I have never known what happened but after that, she didn't remember me. She didn't know anyone. I was so confused. That's what I used to bully her. That's the reason why I did all of that to her. She never knew why I did it and I never told her why. I told no one.

" Hey Niall." Someone said behind me. I turn around from my locker and see who it was. Louis.

" Hey Lou."

" How's the whole Lauren thing going?"

"Fine." I say plainly

" Fine? Nothing interesting?" he asks and I about snap his neck. Lauren is very interesting and fun.

" She is fun. I mean she's alright and I just want this dare to be over already." I lie. I want it to be over, I just don't want to let her go.

I don't know what I would do without her. Actually, I do know. I would go crazy, go out all the time, be drunk or high everyday and night and be lost. I would be so lost without Lauren in my life. I try not to act protective of her in front of others because I cant. Because of the mindless dare I agreed to. Because I didn't love her like I love you now. I can't say I love you in public and mean it because of the dare. Everything revolves around it. And now, it's going to end. And I will be left with nothing. Just me.

" Hello!? Earth to Niall!" Louis says from beside me. Wow, I was really deep into thought.

" Sorry." I mumble.

" Did you just say sorry?" He says with a very shocked face.

" No durrr." I say in a sarcastic tone.

" See, that's the Niall I know. Not one who goes deep into thought and says sorry." He chuckles at his own words. I roll my eyes and walk away. I see

Lauren at her locker and walk behind her and put my arms around her. I hold her like it's my last time. Because it probably is.

Lauren's P.O.V

"Well hello there Niall." I say chuckling. I turn around in his arms.

" Hi." He says before leaning in. I do the same thing and our lips collide. He slightly pushes me against the lockers. I put my hands in his hair and he pulls me even closer. If possible.

" what's up with you?" I ask pulling away.

" What do you mean?"

" You usually don't kiss me in school. Or anywhere in public. And you were holding into me like it was your last time to.What's going on?" His face looks as if he had gotten caught. He also cringed when I said ' like it was your last'
