My Rescuer ( A Niall Horan fanfic )

Return (Part 1)

Chapter 11

3 days have gone by and Krystal still hasn’t brought up the truth or dare incident. I have no idea when/if she will but I’m not looking forward to it. She’s one to pry, and she won’t stop until she gets the truth out of me.

I had a killer hangover the day after truth or dare and I had my first day at my new job. The first 3 hours were the hardest in my entire life. Ok, not really my entire life but they were hard. I thought working at my favorite place would make me happy to have a job but no, I still hate working. But it’s better than being broke all the time.

I have to work the mid-morning shift at Starbucks again today. I was supposed to leave in like five minutes and I was all ready to go, but then Krystal stopped by.

“Hey can we talk?” she asked me. I knew where this was going and I definitely did not have time for this.

“Krystal I have to be to leave for work in like 2 minutes if I want to be on time. Can it wait?” I asked her.

“Beth.” She said to me. I can easily understand what she was trying to say. She thinks I’m just avoiding the conversation. Which isn’t completely true. No, I don’t want to have this conversation with her, but I do have to go to work.

“We’ll talk as soon as I get back from work in like 5 hours but right now I really have to go. Please can it wait?” I begged her. I really didn’t want to be late.

“Fine but as soon as you enter your room, we’re talking.” She said authoritatively.

“OK. See you later!” I said walking out of my room and towards the front door.

The possible outcomes of this conversation are going to haunt me all day today.

                               AFTER WORK

As I climbed out of my car and began walking up to the front door my phone began ringing.

“Hello?” I said answering the phone.

“Hey Beth!” Niall responded from the other end of the phone.

“Oh Hey Niall! What’s up?” I asked him walking into the house.

“Nothing much right now. Just wanted to see if you and the girls were up to anything tonight?” he said.

“I don’t think so. Why did you want to hang out tonight?”

“Yeah. I was thinking maybe me and the guys could come over to your house this time?”

“Yeah sure that’s sounds like a good idea. I’ll ask the girls and see what they say, then I will call or text you.”

“Ok I’ll talk to the guys too because I haven’t discussed this with them yet actually. I just randomly thought we should hang out tonight.” He said laughing a little.

“Alright, I’ll call you back in a little bit.”

“Ok. Bye” he said and hung up the phone.

I put my phone back into my pocket and walked up the stairs to my room.

 When I opened my door I was greeted by Krystal, Briella, and Layla. They all were just sitting on my bed. Nobody moved and nobody spoke. I was kinda freaked out.

“Ready for our talk Beth?” Krystal asked me.

“I thought it was just going to be me and you.” I replied setting my bag down and closing my room door.

“It was, but if all of us talk to you together then that would be easier for us and for you. That way you only have to explain once.” She responded calmly.

“Well what do I have to explain?” I asked even though I already knew the answer.

“Why did you make such a big deal about the strip dares and truths the other night?” Layla asked me.

“Why are you guys making such a big deal about it?” I responded. “Because to me it’s not that big of a deal. So what I didn’t want to strip for them? So what I didn’t want to say the exact reason why I didn’t want to strip for them? Did you ever think that there isn’t an actual reason? Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe I really didn’t want to do it. That maybe I’m not into that anymore. Did you ever think about that?” I finished my rant trying to get them off my case about this.

All of a sudden my bathroom door opened.

“I thought of that and that’s exactly why I came.” Hallie said walking out of my bathroom.

I was frozen in my spot. Tears were gathering in my eyes because one of my best friends, the one I thought I’d never be able to see again, is standing in my new room. I instantly dropped to my knees and started sobbing. This is too much in like 5 minutes. They were so desperate to figure this out they brought Hallie. They know she can get anything out of me. They know I can’t lie to her.

“Why are you guys doing this to me?” I asked them in-between sobs.

“We need the truth Beth. We want to help, but we can’t without the truth.” Briella said.

“Beth, is there a reason you didn’t want to do the strip dare?” Hallie asked me putting her arm around my shoulders.

I nodded my head yes. There’s no point in lying about that now.

“Do you want to tell us that reason?” she asked again.

“NO! Isn’t it obvious I don’t want to talk about it?” I cried out. They just weren’t getting the point.

“Ok. We’ll drop it ok? Dropping it.” Hallie said.

This is why I love her. She is so understanding. Not quite as understanding as Krystal but in this case, way more understanding.

“Ok.” I said looking up. I lifted my head from my hands and everyone was surrounding me in a circle.

“I’m sorry. I just, I don’t know.” I said still sitting on the floor.

“Don’t be sorry. We shouldn’t have tried pressuring you.” Krystal said.

“OK. Now I have a question.” I said.

They all looked at me waiting for me to continue.

“Whose idea was it to scare the living shit out of me by having Hallie appear out of nowhere!?” I shouted at them.

They all started laughing at me while Hallie gave me a real hug.

“I missed you so much!” I said to her.

“I missed you too girl! I missed all of you!” Hallie replied.

“So now that the gangs all here, what are we going to do tonight?” Layla asked.

“Oh the guys want to come over tonight and hang out.” I told them.

“What guys?” Hallie asked confused.

“Oh just some guys we met at the club last week.” Layla said casually lightly winking at everyone but avoiding Hallie’s stare. Judging by her winks she’s going to surprise Hallie with the fact that One Direction will be coming over to our house.

“Well text them and tell them they can come over.” Krystal said. She’s like the one in charge when it comes to things like this.

“Hey, ask them if they want to have a sleepover! That’ll be fun!” Briella said.

“Ok I will.” I said.

With Hallie here and the guys coming over, tonight’s going to be a great night.

I can already feel it.
