Chapter 9-
I woke up the next morning still thinking about Niall. I've always been one of them people that if I do something to upset someone, I won't stop feeling bad about it until they've well and truly forgiven me.
I got up and looked in the mirror. My cheeks had streaks of mascara down them from all the crying I did last night. I cleaned my face then took a bath. After that I got a text from my best friend Lydia asking to go out for lunch.
I thought it would be a good idea because it would help take my mind off of things. I wore a pair of ripped blue skinny jeans, a cream jumper with a black heart in the middle and a pair of black high top converse.
I walked into the small cafe where Lydia was supposed to be meeting me but I couldn't see her anywhere. I walked over to a free table and sat down.
I got my phone out and decided to give Niall a quick call.
"Hi this is Niall, I'm busy at the moment please leave a message." I heard his thick Irish accent talk over the recording.
"Niall listen, I'm really sorry about last night. Please call me back I need to talk to you."
About two minutes later I received a new text from Niall.
"Clara, we spoke last night and there's nothing more to talk about. Please don't call me again."
I sighed then put my phone back into my bag. I looked up and saw Lydia walking through the doors of the cafe.
"Clara!" She shouted and smiled when she saw me as she began to walk over to the table.
"Hi Lydia." I smiled then stood up to greet my best friend with a hug.
We sat down and ordered a drink and a bite too eat.
"So what's it like being Harry Styles' girlfriend?! Oh my god! I can't believe your actually dating him!" My best friend squealed in excitement.
Honestly...it's not all it's cracked up to be. I thought to myself.
"It's..." I paused for a second as Lydia stared at me smiling. Should I tell her the truth? I thought.
"Well?!" She squealed again.
Why was she so loud?
"It's great." I smiled back, not so enthusiastically as I took a sip of my tea.
"Oh come on Clara! Your dating Harry Styles! Don't sound too excited about it!" She laughed sarcastically as I gave a false giggle.
"It's amazing actually! He's a lovely man and we get along really well." I lied through my teeth although I sounded more interested this time.
"And he isn't bad looking either!" Lydia added as she laughed. We spoke for a while and I ended up telling her about the film premier coming up this weekend.
"Oh my god Clara! Your going to a film premiere! I'm so jealous! But on the bright side I can help you do your hair and make up and-"
"Oh Lyd, there's no need Louise is going to do all of that." I smiled as I tried to calm her down.
"Lou Teasdale?!" She asked in shock.
"Yeah..." I said furrowing my eyebrows at her.
"Oh my god!" She squealed again.
"Why am I getting a weird feeling that you seem to be a secret 1D fan?" I laughed.
"Me? A directioner? No way!"
"Yeah, because that explains how you know everything about them! Your as bad as my sister!" I laughed as her cheeks turned pink.
"Well just make sure you tell Niall that I'm single!" She laughed as a feeling of guilt grew in my stomach.
After we finished our lunch we stayed and had another tea each. After that I made my way home and Lydia went to her mums house.
When I got in I listened to some music as I vacuumed the living room. As I was tidying up I got a call on the house phone. It was my mums phone calling.
"Hi mum."
"Clara it's Olivia!" My younger sister yelled.
"Hi Liv."
"Clara!" She yelled again.
"Why are you shouting?"
"Because my big sister is dating Harry Styles!" She screamed.
"What?! How do you know?!" I asked in utter shock.
"It's in todays Ok magazine! It's a picture of you and Harry together!"
'Oh no...' I thought.
"Why didn't you tell me? You know how much I love one direction!" She moaned.
"I forgot."
"Well when can I meet them?!" She asked.
"Erm...I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?! Clara I've been waiting to meet them since 2010!"
"I know Liv but-"
"Well please can I stay at yours on the weekend?"
"This weekend?"
"Yeah."
"I'm busy this weekend Liv. What about the weekend after?"
"Yes yes yes!!"
"Olivia! Calm down!" I laughed trying to get her to shut up.
"Sorry, I just love them so much!"
"I know you do." I sighed.
"So I'll see you soon yeah Liv?"
"Defiantly, thanks Clara, love you."
"Your welcome Hun, and I love you too." I said before she hung up.
After that I carried on with the rest of the day, I wondered what harry would have to say about it.
