More than Friends
Hi, before you read this… I would just like to point out that I don’t mention Liam or Zayn in this. I know, I know. How could I? And I feel really bad… I love them both so much. But they weren’t really needed in this mini shot. I love them!!!! And they will be in other fics of mine. I make that a pinky promise! I never break pinky promisesesssss. :) enjoy!
The brisk winds blew my hair out of my face as I viewed the ocean. Watching the waves repetitively roll onto the sand. Every detail I could spot from the way the waves bubbled, the noise of the water building and curling. The sight of the white bubbles spread widely across the shore. I noticed the not so important visuals that were scattered along the beach. My eyes found the red and yellow flags marking the safe swimming areas, I also noticed that the sun was right above me. High in the sky, shining loyalty above the earth. Its warm rays, bathed my warm skin, burning it with the slightest touch.
While applying more sunscreen onto my exposed skin, I felt my phone vibrate in my shorts pocket. Pulling it out, it said I had a message from Niall…
Niall is my inseparable best friend for life. Niall has been my buddy since we were both dots. I always thought that we were always going to be friends like from the very beginning of our lives. Our mothers are the best of friends and our fathers are like brothers. We are both born on the same day, month and year. But lucky for me I am older by 2 hours.
‘hey coming down now with hazza, c u soon! yellow umbrella right? J x’ the message said, I replied back almost immediately after reading it. ‘yellow umbrella! C x’ sending the text. Olivia my other best friend, who I have known since grade 8 sighed before asking…
“Was that your lover?” Olivia asked cracking up laughing. Olivia seems to believe that Niall and I are like secretly in love. When actually I could never go out with Niall, that does sound mean, but really think about it. I honestly find it creepy going out with someone you have known your whole life. But that’s just me. Olivia and Harry have been neighbours since they were kids. And now they have been dating for like a year or something, they are the cutest couple.
“Oh god Olivia how many times? Niall and I are not lovers. I do love him he is my best friend, but never in the way have you and Harry loved each other. Niall is just a friend”. I said to Olivia, her eyes were focused on something or someone behind me. While putting on her sunnies she quickly gave me the ‘oh shit’ look, as if to say someone was behind me when I said that. And that someone being Niall, as I turned around to see who it was. I heard shuffling around and the sound of someone mumbling then walking off. I turned back to Olivia, thinking she was also watching Niall walk away. But instead Harry was let’s just say in the intimate zone with Olivia, already snogging each other.
Immediately I got up leaving my two best friends sucking each other’s faces off. I noticed that the familiar blonde hair of Niall’s walking back up the board walk back to the esplanade. I ran up to him planning on scarring him.
“Boo heyo Nialler where you going?” I asked, he just kept walking without stopping or making any eye contact with me. “Earth to Niall… hello… babe you ok? You know you can’t have me walking with you without us talking” I said, Niall stopped and looked at the ground. He was never ever like this, ever! Niall was always so happy and bubbly and always talking. And when I saw him in his sad mode, it just made me feel as bad as him. The crapiest feeling you get when you see your best friend sad, and they won’t tell you what is wrong. But the thing is, I had a feeling I knew what was wrong.
“Ok let’s talk… we need to talk about us!” Niall stated, looking up towards all the coffee shops and walking in the one direction to our favourite ice cream store. I was really utterly confused, what did he mean by ‘we’ like ‘us’ who we are? Arghh so confused right now. But that’s when it clicked, the reason why Olivia gave me that look when I told her about Niall and I. Niall, he would have been right behind me. Great… how the hell do you explain this nicely to your best friend, when you are so scared that you will lose them?
