Chapter Three

Niall. What was he doing here?! But it was him! Here! Niall! Niall.. I was going to kill him! I turned to Emma.

"You knew?!" I asked her. She nodded.

"I'll tell you later. You're going to want to hear what he has to say!" I turned to the stage almost in tears.

"Hey guys! So, I recently got a message on Twitter saying my old best-friend, and was missing me. So, I wrote this song, just for her." My breath caught in my throat. Me? I looked at him and Emma grabbed my hand. He started playing his guitar. He was playing me a song. For me. It was already beautiful... Then he started singing..

"When I look into your, eyes, it's like watching the night sky, or a beautiful sunrise, There's just so much they hold, and just like them old stars, I see that you've come so far, to be right where you are, how old is your soul? Well, I won't give up, on, us, even if the skies, get, rough, I'm giving you all, my, love, I'm still lookin' up. And when you're needing your space, to do some navigating, I'll be here patiently waiting, to see what you find. Cause even the stars, they, burn, some even fall, to, the earth, we've got a lot, to learn, and God knows were worth it. No, I won't give up. I don't wanna be the one who walks away so easily, I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make, our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake. And in the end your still my friend, at least we did intend, for us to work, we didn't break we didn't burn. We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in, and had to learn what I've got, and what I am, and who I am. I won't give up, on, us, even if the skies, get, rough, I'm giving you all, my, love, I'm still lookin' up. Still lookin' up."

I was almost in tears. The rest of One Direction came out for the rest of it.

"I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up). God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved). We've got a lot, to, learn (we're alive, we are loved). God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)."

The song slowed and he stepped off the stage. To my surprise, no one mobbed him. Everyone made a line towards me and he walked slowly towards me. My face turned red. No tears. No tears. He got up close, and took my hand. He sang the last part of the song to me, looking right in my eyes.

"I won't give up, on, us. Even if the skies, get, rough. I'm still giving you all, my, love. I'm still looking up."

Everyone cheered. He smiled at me.

"Hey May." He said quietly. I didn't say anything. This was too much. I opened my mouth as if to say something, but then ripped my hand out of his and ran to Emma's room. He leaves me, for two years, forgets me, never calls, or even knows that I exist, and then he thinks I'll just forgive him? He's got to be kidding me. I locked Emma's door and just sat on my feet crying quietly into my hands.

** Niall's P.O.V **

I stood there. She ran off leaving a sweet scent of strawberries behind. I looked at her as she ran up the stairs. Emma ran after her. Liam came up behind me and patted my back.

"Go after her." He told me. I knew I should. I ran up the stairs and followed Emma, leaving the sounds of cheering behind me. There was no one upstairs surprisingly. Emma was leaning against a door way. I could hear silent sobs behind it. I came up behind Emma and put a hand on her shoulder. She turned and looked at me. I heard May through the door. Emma started talking.

"May. Come out. He only wanted to surprise you. He really did miss you." May's sobs didn't stop.

"Emma, you don't understand! He just left me! Didn't even bother to contact me in any way, and he expects me to forgive him by just singing to me? He's an idiot!" Her crying got louder, and all I wanted to do was hold her until she stopped. But she just called me an idiot. Her Irish accent was fading, after just two years.

"Hun, you got to come out some time." Emma said trying the knob. Locked.

"I don't have to." May countered.

"Yes, sometime or another, you'll starve. You can't go to the bathroom." There was a silence.

"May?" Emma asked putting her ear on the door. "Maeve?" She asked again. She pulled a hair-clip from her hair and started jiggling the lock. After a minute, she opened it.

"You didn't do that before?" I asked. She shrugged and opened the door. A blast of cool air hit me. The window was open. She climbed out the window! But we're on the second floor.

"Maeve Linn Rose! Are you serious?!" Emma yelled running over to the window. You could barely make out May's body she had already gotten so far. We ran downstairs and I hurried toward the door, dodging people mobbing me.

"Wait!" Emma stopped me. I turned quickly hopping up and down. 

"What?!" She threw me her car keys. "You're going to need a car. She runs Track and Cross Country. She's fast." I stared at the keys before throwing them back. 

"Can't drive?" She asked. I shook my head no. "Well, get someone to drive!"

"I will! Come on boys!" Louis said and we piled out the door, but not before getting May's address and having her tell May to call her. We piled into Louis' car and sped off.

"Louis slow down!" Harry yelled.

"You're going to make us crash!" Zayn cried.

"It's either go fast, or Niall won't get to the love of his life!" Louis yelled back. They turned to me and I blushed. We drove for a few minutes before I saw May walking.

"There!" Liam said.
