Forgetting How to Love (Niall Horan / One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

Kylie's POV:

"Kylie...that's not a good enough reason for me."

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? YOU WERE THE ONE THAT SAID FALLING IN LOVE WAS A GOOD THING-"

"I said falling in love was a good thing. Not falling 'back'."

I looked away from Dylan, angry and tired from the past two hours of arguing. He didn't understand. He didn't understand how much I wanted his permission to be with Alen again. Of all the times I've been happy, being with Alen topped them all. I knew Dylan tried to understand, to understand why I would let the person who hurt me come back into my life. I stood on the roof in silence, knowing I would lose this arguement, like every other fight we've had.

"Look I'm just saying...just because someone comes back into your life and actually wants to be a part of it, doesn't mean they won't hurt you along the way."

"Well, this time is different. He's not the same. Alen is actually...better."

I smile, remembering Alen did change, for me.

I heard Dylan get up, walking closer to the window.

"If you're happy, then I am. And I'm not just saying that because I'm your brother."

"Well, at least you're more supportive than Christie."

I walk over to him, hug him for a while, and walk back inside the house.

I lay back down onto my bed, and start to worry about what I would say to Leah and Wes. They wouldn't understand. They will probably try to convince me not to date him again. But even if they did, they would lose. I love him. And they won't stop me from being with him.

Niall's POV:

"....wish that we could be alone now...ummm..we can..find some place to hide..." I wrote down the words that spat out of my mouth, with my guitar at hand, playing a rhythm for the lyrics.

"What you doing, lad?" Liam says shaking me from the shoulders.

"Just...trying to write a song." Liam, being the curious little person he is, reads the lyrics I wrote down on the napkin.

"This shouldn't be summer love." I look at Liam wondering what he meant by that. He then gave me a dumb look.

"You met Kylie during the Fall season."

Great. I was trying to get her off my mind this whole time and here comes Liam bringing her back to my head again.

"Does everything I do have to be about her? Why can't it be about some other girl, huh?"

"Because there hasn't been any other girl. Like her anyways." I sat on the balcony in silence, trying to figure out how to get Liam to leave me alone.

"Well, she's with Alen again, so you guys can stop trying to tell me she's the one."

"Wait, what? Kylie is with that 'guy' again? How?" I hesitated to tell him, because it was all my fault.

"Niall...what did you do.." I stood up, and turned away from him, looking out at the sky and managed to get words out of my mouth.

"You know how people say 'If you love someone you should let them go'? I know it sounds cheesy, but...I was the one that let Alen get her back." After a few minutes, I felt Liam pat me in the back.

"I get it. You love her, a lot..." I was going to cry. I didn't do it in front of the boys, but this feeling inside of me just didn't go away.

"But you can't let a girl like that slip from your hands. I know I wouldn't! She's different, even I know it. I also know that you just made the stupidest decision that you would ever make in your love-life."
