The Journey has just Begun© (Niall fanfic)

Chapter 13

My eyes connected with dark blue eyes and my hand flew to my heart.

"You scared me." I chuckled at the small girl and she giggled lightly.

"I'm sorry."

I smiled kindly. "It's fine."

"What's your name?"

"Jewel. Yours?"

"Lila."

I smiled politely down at her. She looked up at me with curiosity and I furrowed my brows in confusion. "What?"

She smiled and giggled again. She was small, maybe about six years old. She had long, beautiful auburn hair and dark blue eyes.

"You're really pretty."

My smile grew with the compliment. "Thank you. You're really pretty too."

She giggled again and looked away. "Thank you." She said shyly causing me to chuckle and shake my head. "Is that your boyfriend?"

I looked to where she was pointing and couldn't help my eyes from widening.

"N-no." I shakily stated watching him with shock in my eyes.

"Then why is he staring at you?"

A groan escaped past my lips. "Because he thinks he is my boyfriend." I rolled my eyes and looked down at the small girl.

She cocked her head to the side with confusion written all over her face. "It's hard to explain." I shook my head at her silent question.

I can't believe I'm talking to a little girl about Niall. He seemed to always be there even when I didn't want him to.

He was walking towards us and I stood up ready to turn around and walk away. I didn't want Lila to have to deal with him.

"Bye, Lila. It was nice to meet you." I smiled down at her and did a little wave.

She waved back still watching me in confusion but looked back in Niall's direction. I walked in the opposite direction of Niall and headed back towards the cafe.

I walked across the street and heard his footsteps directly behind me. I walked down the sidewalk in front of the cafe and headed towards my house. I knew Cresh would be here any minute to pick me up so I didn't want to leave the area.

"Jewel!"

I stopped dead in my tracks but remained facing forward as I couldn't help my eyes from rolling. Niall walked around to the front of me with a scowl on his face.

"Don't walk away from me."

I stared at him with a blank expression blinking my eyes slowly, unfazed by him. "Can I help you?"

He rolled his eyes and placed his hands on my shoulders. "I'd like to take you on a date."

I shook my head. "Sorry. I don't date stalkers."

I stepped out of his hands and brushed his shoulder as I passed him. His hand flew out to grab my wrist whipping me around to face him. "Please."

I groaned and rolled my eyes. Oh thank you, Lord.

"Sorry. I have to go now." I jerked my hand out of his hold and jogged quickly to Cresh's car.

I flung the door open and climbed in. She sped off far away from Niall.

"Thank you." I sighed and slumped down into the seat relieved.

She looked at me funny but asked no questions and continued driving.

"Why can't he just leave me alone?"

I heard her sigh heavily. "Why can't you take his attention as good?" She shot back causing me to furrow my brows in confusion at her snappy tone.

She took a deep breath and released it. "I'm sorry. It's just, ever since Ethan you haven't taken guys attention well and I just want you to be happy."

I shuddered at the thought of him. "I appreciate it, Cresh. I really do, but there is just something about Niall. He like scares me deep down and I just don't want anything to happen."

She nodded. "Just keep in mind that he isn't Ethan."

I nodded and a silence fell over us in the car.

Maybe she was right.

Maybe I need to think of the attention from Niall as good and not bad.

It's going to be a lot harder than you think.
