Half A Heart

Her Name's Ebony

Niall's POV

I walked up Daya's driveway and rang her door bell. The door opened revealing Daya's dad.

"Hey Niall!" He greeted me.

"Hello, is Daya here. I really need to talk to her."

"Yeah, just a minute....Daya!!" He closed the door partially before Daya stepped out. I could tell she really wasn't expecting me to be here.

"Hello Niall." She spoke quietly.

"Daya, can you please tell me what I did wrong the other night?" I asked.

She sighed before stepping outside completely.

"When I was about 12 years old I was in my very first swimming competition. When I was on the high dive I dove and hit my head off of the next board. I haven't gone swimming ever since. And that guy almost threw me in the water and you didn't stop him after I specifically told you, I don't swim." She explained.

"I didn't know it was that much of a big deal." I felt guilty.

"That's not the point Niall. I told you I don't swim, but you didn't care."

"I'm so sorry Daya." I looked into her beautiful blue eyes.

"What ever Niall." She went to walk away but I pulled her arm back and pulled her into a hug. She instantly tensed up, than hugged me back.

"Please forgive me Daya." I begged.

"Fine." She sighed.

"Let's go inside." She took my hand in hers and I instantly smiled. We walked hand and hand into her house.

"Oh, there is someone I want you to meet." She said.

"Close you eyes and hold out your arms." I was hesitant at first, but than got over it. I heard Daya giggle before I felt the fluffiest little thing in my arms. My eyes snapped open to see the cutest puppy in my arms.

"Who's is this?" I asked.

"Saton's. Who's do you think?" She said sarcastically.

"What's it's name?"

"Her name's Ebony." She said. I found it kind of funny how unique the name was, just like Daya's name is unique.

"I love that name!" I told her.

"Thank you."

We walked upstairs and into her room. I sat Ebony down on Daya's bed before laying down myself. Daya sat down beside me.

"So...how's Amelia?" She asked. My heart sank as I had forgotten that I was kind of seeing Amelia.

"She's great." I say doubtfully.

"DAYA, NIALL, AIDEN! DINNERS READY!" Daya's dad yelled from downstairs.

"Come on." She stands up and I follow her. Ebony follows behind us.

"What's for dinner?" Daya asked.

"Well for us men or non vegetarians we're having chicken and rice, but your having rice and broccoli." Daya's dad said.

"Your a vegetarian?" I asked Daya.

"Yep." She said whilst popping the p.

I didn't know that.

After dinner Aiden, Daya and I settled down for 'Catching Fire'.

"Josh Hutcherson is so so hot!' Daya exclaims.

"Not exactly." Aiden said.

"No, he's gorgeous. Like a goddess." I laughed at her comparison.

"So...he's a girl?" I asked.
