Secrets & Bad Dreams~37

"Thank you," I said as we pulled up to my house.

"You're welcome," he said flashing a small grin. He was about to get out the car to walk me to my door but I told him to wait.

"What's wrong?" He asked finally noticing my worried expression. I took a deep breath before I started talking.

"Niall...I overheard you and Liam talking on Monday." He sighed and looked sick as soon as I said that. "What huge heartbreaking secret were you two talking about?" 

He sat there for a moment not looking at me. He kept his attention on his window, and I could tell he was pissed. I could also tell he had decided not to answer my question.

"Niall, unfortunately I love you. At this point I don't think that any secret will change that."

When he finally looked at me he said "Why is lovinging me so unfortunate?"

"Wanting anything you can't have is unfortunate."

"Why were you eavesdropping? Why were you even in the hallway?" He asked starting to get angry.

"Hey don't get mad at me," I said and he calmed down. "Don't think I followed you or anything. Your friend told me to meet you out there. When I got there you two were talking."

"And you decided to eavesdrop?"

"You know I really don't think that's the big issue at hand. I don't like the thought of you keeping secrets from me. You kept Haley a secret and I got over that. But no more. I told you about Harry today. Why can't you do the same for me?"

He looked at me thinking, I guess deciding if whether or not he wanted to tell me.

"Do you trust me Grace? Just give me a straight answer."

"Yes," I replied after a moment.

"Then trust me when I say its best for you to just not know. It won't change anything about our relationship. Liam was making a big deal out of it to try to scare me. And really to scare you because if he told you to go out there he knew you were listening. You're beautiful Grace, and that's why he's doing all this. To try to win you over or whatever. But I promise you, it's not as big as it seems."

"If it's not a big deal and it won't change anything then why won't you tell me?" He struggled to come up with a response. "Did you cheat?"

"No! Why would you think that?"

"If you did you can tell me," I said sounding nonchalant while praying he didn't.

"I didn't Grace. I didn't. Can we just let this go? Please?"

I looked at him with a certain fierce, kind of angry look before getting out the car. He followed me.

"You're not gonna let go of this are you?" He said catching up to me as I looked for my keys in my bag. 

"Yes I am. I'm not even angry."

He laughed at how horrible of a liar I was at the moment. Just as I was about to unlock the door he stood in front of the door blocking it.

"Niall move," I instructed.

"No. Not until you stop being angry."

I ran my fingers through my hair, sighed, and gave him a sarcastic smile.

"See. I'm happy."

"Grace you said you trusted me. I'm telling you that it's not a huge deal but I don't wanna talk about it. Can you understand that?"

"I can. But I don't want to."

"You're gonna have to. Or else you'll be arguing with me all night standing out here."

 He was stubborn, so I knew that he meant that. I had to comprimise. 

"Give me one reason...one good reason why you don't wanna tell me."

"Well...I don't want you to take it the wrong way. And I want us to continue feeling the way we have been. Happy."

 I looked at him trying to suppress my smile but it didn't work. 

"Fine. But will you tell me someday?"

"Maybe someday." He side stepped so I had access to the door and I began to unlock it.

"I'd kiss you but my mom might see us," I whispered laughing. 

"You have time to make up for it," he said grinning. "I'll see you later."

"Bye." I walked in the house and my mom was sitting on the couch on her laptop.

"Hey did you have fun?" She asked.

"I did. We went bowling & mini golfing."

"That's nice," then she focused back on her laptop. I began making my way upstairs and closed the door behind me. I couldn't stop thinking about me and Niall's argument. I was just happy we didn't end on a bad note even if my questions weren't answered. I fell asleep earlier than I intended to and had a dream. A bad, shocking dream, and I didn't sleep the rest of the night because of it:

There was red again. And shaking. I looked to my left and instead of just red there was a red car. A shiny, familiar red car. And inside of it were two people. A boy and a blonde.
