Forget Me Not (Nouis)

Prologue: I effin slipped

I was the biggest loser in the whole world, yepp, I knew that. Well you know besides having crooked teeth, super duper pale skin, stupid brown hair, I was also gay. Yes, gay. And I hated that. I knew being gay wasn't something that you should hide but when you were an ugly one, you should.

What was even sad was that people in school were able to smell the gay from me that even though I was still closeted, they still harassed me and bullied me for being one. They kept on saying that I was gay and I kept on denying that I was not.

I only had four mates in school actually. They were Kross, Judielle, Crissy, and Jaden. Crissy was also gay but unlike me, he was open about it. Besides, they can't bully him because of his sass and everything. He was a fighter. Not a coward... Like me.

Judielle was a girl with a rather peculiar taste for music. She liked country music, and when I said country- literally country. Oh, and rock. Often times she was dressed like a cowgirl complete with a cowboy hat that was color black. Her jeans were black, her polo was black, everything was black. She even wore really thick mascara around her eyes that were always ruined because she always cried- people in school also bullied her. She looked like a panda during those times, seriously.

Jaden was a... Geek. Okay, forget what I said about being me the biggest loser earlier because I think Jaden fit the title better. Jaden was a nerd. He was in a relationship with books and his mistresses were animes. He has this big, super round eyeglasses. He also wore braces and not-so-matching clothes. He always carried around thick books- in the cafeteria, in our secret place, hallways and everywhere. Another thing was he was a very clumsy person. In fact, whenever he told us that somebody tripped him, I always consider the thought that he might have just tripped with his own clumsiness. Besides, this boy never had any experience with girls. At least I had a girlfriend before and I have a boyfriend right now. (Yes I do have one)

Now let's talk about Kross. Kross was popular, like really. He was one of the football players in our school, gals and guys alike adored him. He was drop dead gorgeous. When he was with us, our schoolmates can't harm us in any way- they knew better. Though when it was only Jude, Jaden and I (which often happens) it's rambol time.

Crissy and Kross don't really want to leave us three with ourselves so they decided that one of them should always be with us- if Crissy was busy, Kross will stay with us and vice versa. Though there were times that their schedules can't make it and we perfectly understood that. We can survive few punches, some bruises and lots of hateful words anyway, can't we?

"Hey, Ni! Earth to Niall!" Judielle said, snapping her fingers in front of my face. I looked at her and smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry. I was thinking about something."

Judielle just rolled her eyes at me and walked towards Crissy.

"Where's your Zack NiNi?" Jaden asked me, his arms around my shoulders. He was a little tipsy since we urged him to drink alcohol.

Yes, we were bad influence blah blah. But this was only the second time and besides, we didn't get really drunk. We just wanna let him have his experience with alcohol, that's all.

"I tried to call him but.." I didn't continue my sentence.

"Voicemail. Right. You know sometimes, I really think that Zack doesn't love you." He said, and smiled at the stranger that was passing by.

"Of course he does," My eyebrows knitted. I was surprised at what he said. He rarely gave a comment about our love lives.

"Nah uh, how many times did he cheat on you huh?" He chuckled. "Five fucking times!" And the chuckle turned into a loud laugh.

Okay, maybe he was drunk. Jaden was a good boy and he will never EVER swear. I bet he'll cry out loud the moment he remembers this tomorrow morning.

The rain started to pour hard. We'd been expecting this all day but I wished it didn't come right now when all my friends are drunk and we were stuck in front of this shabby bar with no means of transportation because no fucking cabs were passing by and if ever there was, there was a passenger inside or some rude and stupid people beat me to it. And Zack won't answer the phone.

The fuck. I really hate my life.

Jaden walked toward Crissy and Judielle who were really drunk and singing "It's raining men" at the top of their lungs. Jaden joined them. Now, they were the stupid singing trio of Mullingar, Ireland. This was so embarrassing really.

I face palmed myself, knowing that there was now only 1% percent chance that we can get a cab. No driver will let us ride with all of us wet.

The door of the shabby bar opened and I watched as Kross stumbled, trying to get out, his arms around a brunette girl who looked like she's drunk too.

"H-hey *chuckled* my little Nialler!" Kross said, before giving out a loud laugh followed by the brunette's chuckle.

"You look like a mess!" He exclaimed.

"I'm trying to get a cab but these three here won't help me! We're all soaked in rain I bet there wouldn't be anyone who would give us a ride!" I rant.

"Oh come on Ni. We still have Zack right?" And he laughed again together with the brunette.

"Zack... Zack won't come. He's not answering his phone." I said, my head bowed down.

Kross stopped laughing and started to walk towards me.

"Oh, my poor baby! I'm sorry! Don't worry we can always walk-" I cut him off, annoyed.

"We can't walk Kross a'right? You're all drunk and it's raining hard!" I shouted.

"Hey hey, no need to shout 'kay? We'll find a cab!" He said and he was smiling like an idiot. I let out a puff and started to walk away.

"Niii! Where are you going?" Crissy shouted at me.

"I'm just gonna find a cab. Just, just stay there."

"Okaaaaaay!" Crissy shouted again, Jaden and Judielle put their thumbs up and Kross smiled at me again like a maniac.

I sighed and continued to walk. I was not supposed to be out this late. My Mum will worry and my brother might beat me up. He was always like that- he threw some punches and a few kicks every now and then at me. And when he was drunk, he was extra violent.

It was not raining as hard as earlier and I was starting to feel really really cold. I hope I can get a cab. And surely, I spotted one.

I extended my hand and it stopped. I was ready to scream with happiness when I saw a man running fast and I had a gut feeling that he was going to take my cab away from me so I ran too, not realizing that the cement was slippy due to the rain.

So I started to run when suddenly my right foot slipped. I was going to fall face first!

I shifted my body, hoping that I can support it with my hands only to be disappointed. Because when I shifted, it just changed my body's direction. My back was now on the cab and I was now facing my friends who are looking at me, shocked, panic in their faces. Kross started to run toward me. It was like slow motion, I was falling slowly and so was Kross' running. I was now falling backward.

I closed my eyes and braced myself for the fall.

A/N: Heeeey! So sorry for the long wait! I couldn't find a time you know. I want to finish the IWFY first before I start this but I guess I could do both. Though there'll be slower update here since IWFY is near to end and I want to finish it before another school year starts so yeah. Thank you for reading!
