Im Only Human

Being a Girl

Niall's POV

I stand there in the parking lot as Louis drives away with Mckenzie in his car. She making a huge mistake. She has to know that.

I get in the car and start the engine. I back out and drive away. In the corner of my eye I can see Jackson. He's leaning against his truck with his head in his hands. I pull back in and park right behind him.

I jump out of my car and start towards him. His eyes get wide and he backs away.

"Niall stop! You don't understand I never meant for any of this to happen. You have to understand that. I would never ever hurt her."

"You fucking cunt. You can't get out of this one." I grab him by the collar of his shirt and slam him against his truck. "What do you want from her?"

He sighs. "Her trust."

I slam him against the truck again. "Bullshit!"

He winces in pain and looks at me. "I did not send her those messages. I haven't had my phone for about a week now. It wasn't me."

I let him go and take a step back. "Then who was it?" he looks down at the ground and doesn't say anything. "Who the fuck was it, Jackson?"

"I can't tell you!" he screams. "If I told you they would ruin me. I didn't want any of this to happen, but I have no other choice."

I scoff at him. "Are you fucking kidding me? They would ruin you if you told me? By not telling me you're ruining her."

He shrugs his shoulders and avoids my glare. He's really pathetic. He has no idea how in love with him she is. I can see it in her eyes every time she sees him, hears his name or talks about him. That's why she can't love me.

I shake my head at him and get back in my car to leave. I turn the radio up and frown when I notice that her cd is still in here.

"And I believed all your lies, I'm blinded by your sideways smile, and the kindness in your eyes,but there's a limit to your flight. I can offer you a better life, but you keep on flying from the light and I've lost my faith in wrong and right.

And I've made the same mistakes but I won't this time. No I won't this time."

She really loves Christina Perri. I remember her telling me that Christina was the reason that she started writing songs.

Now that I'm actually listening to the words I notice Mckenzie was right. Her lyrics sum exactly how you feel in your heart. I use to not understand but now I do. Her songs are so heartbreakingly good. I can feel the meaning she's put into every word of the song.

I turn it off when I realize that I'm crying. Mac and Christina Perri can do this to me.

I then laugh at myself. I sound like such a girl.

Mac's POV

"Louis stop!" he's on top of me with his hands everywhere. "Stop please!"

He smirks at me continues to torture me with his hands. I giggle and start trying to kick him off of me.

"I didn't know that you were so ticklish Mac." He laughs. "You're laughing so hard that you look red in the face."

I laugh even more when he squeezes my knee. For some odd reason I'm ticklish in my knees.

"Lou please stop!" I yell between laughs.

He climbs off of me and rolls around the floor laughing while i try to catch my breath.

"What the hell was that for?" I say as I throw a couch pillow at him.

"I thought you could use a good laugh." He says and throws it back at me.

"You ass." I toss it back at him, this time hitting him in the head.

He raises an eyebrow at me. "A tickle fight and a pillow fight in one day. I'm such a lucky guy."

I roll my eyes and laugh as he hits me with the pillow. I roll over on the couch to look at him. "Thanks Louis."

He nods and smiles. "No problem. Now what else is it that you girls do to make yourselves feel better. Shopping and makeovers, is it?"

I shake my head. "No I don't think you deserve that kind of punishment."

He laughs and stands. "What are we gonna do then?"

"I was just gonna go back to sleep." I say.

He makes a sad face. "Oh well I guess I'll go then."

I jump up an hug him. "Thanks again Lou."

He smiles. "To be fair, your are my friend and these are the types of things friends do so there's no need to thank me." I nod.

Not a minute later, Taylor comes bursting through the door.

She smiles at us. "Hey Mac. You weren't at school today." I nod again. "Zayn told me why." Of course he did. "I just wanted to know if maybe you wanted to go shopping or something with me. You know just go do what girls do."

Louis and I look at each other and start laughing. Taylor looks at us like we've just grown two heads.

"Sure. I'll go be a girl with you." I say.
