Complications

Part 49

I’m glad when I’m back home. As soon as my sister heard the door, she came running to me. ‘Should I kick some ass?’ she says with a laugh but in a way I think she’s serious. I laugh along. ‘I’ll help.’

‘I’ll tell you the bad news first. I’ll leave the good stuff for last. But I’m taking a shower first. Everything just needs to wash away.’ I say and Maddie nods.

I’m more calm once I’m in the shower. I feel like everything that’s happening, is just a nightmare. I just have to wake up. The hot water feels good on my body. I feel relieved and it’s like every bad memory is washed away. But eventually I have to return to reality. I grab a towel and wrap it around my body. I’ll figure it all out, I think to myself. I dress myself again and go downstairs.

‘So, let’s talk.’ I say to my sister. I begin to tell her about Daniel and how he dragged me out of the store earlier this day. How he wanted a second chance.  And how he was jealous of Niall. It was ridiculous. After I said what happened today, I take a deep breath. ‘Instead of being a gentlemen when we were together, he started now. When he doesn’t have me anymore. And to be honest I don’t really care. I don’t need him. It’s just, I don’t know. He said he needed me in his life. So maybe I can be his friend?’

‘Don’t be so stupid Megan. He wants you to be his again, not just a friend. Besides, you’re with Niall now. He doesn’t have a chance with you and he shouldn’t have one at all.’ She’s right. I know she is but part of me feels guilty.

‘You’re right. He doesn’t even deserve my friendship. Now let’s talk about the good things.’ ‘Yes! I want to hear everything!’ I like how excited she is. It’s a good thing that she approves Niall because Maddie is my sister and my best friend. I want her and Niall to get along.

I just started with the beginning. How we met in art class and how at first I couldn’t stand him. But the more I got to know him, the more I started to like him. I even told her about his dad but I left out the part about how he died. I explained to her why I didn’t say anything at first because I was scared of how it would turn out. Because I love Niall and I don’t want anything to happen to him.

‘How will you deal with telling everyone else? I mean you don’t have to say anything, you just have to show the world that you two are happy together.’ Maddie says. ‘I know you’re right but you know who my friends were and you know Daniel. He will do anything in his power to keep Niall away from me and I’m afraid of how far he’ll go.’

‘I know but how will you know if you can be truly happy with Niall if you don’t try? Keeping him a secret isn’t an option.’ I nod. She’s right but trouble always finds his way to me.

‘You’re right. I don’t have to care about what others think. And I’m not going to.’ I say proudly. My sister smiles. ‘That’s the spirit! Anyway, I think you two make the perfect couple. So adorable! The way you were sleeping together and damn, he looks so great!’ Maddie says smiling again.

‘Yeah he does. And he’s sweet and funny too.’ I add. ‘That’s exactly why you should be proud to be with him. He makes you happy and you do the same for him. He really loves you. I see it in his eyes every time he looks at you.’ I just smile. I’m really lucky with Niall. He completes me.

‘I really love him too.’ I say. My sister smiled at me. ‘Thanks for the talk sis.’ I say to her before I hug her. ‘Anytime.’ she replies. ‘Now let’s watch some movies!’ She says excited.

Leaving the part with Daniel out, the day turned out okay. Tomorrow will be better and maybe I could see Niall again. Maybe I could even meet his mom. We’ll see. For now I just want to have fun with my sister and watch some movies! And from this day on, every day will be a bit better.
