One More Time

Chapter 28

I finished my sandwich and crips and thankfully I was no longer hungry.

"Want something else?" Niall offered

"No."

"You need to-"

"I know I need to eat but it's gonna take time." I placed my hand on his upper arm. I kissed his cheek smiling. "What, besides our drama, is on TV?"

"Probably nothing." he laughed

"Okay then." my phone rang. I answered it. My.... Agent. "hello?"

"Taylor! Okay one, hope you're ok, two, Insider wants an interview on the whole story." she spoke quickly

"Um... it's not like I'm famous-"

"But you're Niall Horan's girlfriend" she scoffed

"Yeah but-" I protested

"Yes or no?"

"No, I don't want the world knowing what happened." I rolled my eyes

"Okay I'll tell them."

"Thanks" I hung up.

Niall placed his hand on my knee. "Tour starts in a few weeks."

"Oh." I answered softly. It meant being without him for almost more than a year.

"But I can't wait for you to see us in the O2 Arena right?" he grinned.

"Yeah." I sighed and stood up, wishing he wasn't gone all the time. He's been out a lot lately. Interviews, before that, recording the new album. I walked I the kitchen and grabbed a mug. I got the coffee from the pot and poured it. Must've been fresh, it was hot. I put in sugar and milk and brought the mug to my lips. I sipped it, leaning against the counter. I wasn't in a talking mood. My boyfriend is leaving and there's nothing I can do about it.

I slid onto the counter, sitting on the cold rock. I hopped off and took whipped cream from the fridge. I put it in the mug and then brought it to my mouth. I sprayed in and laughed to myself. Niall laughed at me too. I smiled, enjoying the little time we had until he left. "I need some air." I sighed and walked out onto the balcony. I rested my coffee on the table and rested my hands on the railing. I didn't realize I was gripping it hard.

I was too deep in thought to hear the door open. "Hey." Niall whispered and placed his hand over mine. I looked down at my now white knuckles.

"I-"

"I know, you're upset." He sighed "Me too."

I nodded. "I dont want to be without you." He pulled me into a tight hug.

"I dont want to leave either." He sighed. "You have to promise me you'll eat."

I nodded again. "I promise." He released me from his arms. I smiled at him, and he placed his lips on mine perfectly, as the sun set over the city.

~4 weeks later~

"All packed?" I asked and he nodded. "Good." I pecked his lips and smiled. I tried not to let him see how I was falling apart inside. He smiled back at me.

"Please, make sure you eat." He took my hand and I nodded.

"In fact, im hungry now." I ran to the kitchen and he chased me. As I grabbed a granola bar from the cabinet he wrapped his arms around me and spun me. God im gonna miss this. "Cmon you're gonna miss your first flight to America." I sighed and picked up one of his suitcases.

We walked out of the building and got in the taxi. I sat with his arms around me but didn't say a word to him. He was silent too.

We got out of the taxi but I couldn't go through security. I had no reason to. I sighed as he pulled me into a tight hug and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I nuzzled my face in his neck as I was lifted off the ground very slightly by him.

He let to, but not to far. He slowly pressed his lips into mine and I kissed him back softly. I broke the kiss and stared into his deep blue eyes.

"Goodbye Princess, I'll see you in a few months." he kissed my forehead.

"Bye nialler." I pecked his lips as he let go of me entirely and I watched him walk away from me.
