NIALL'S POV.
I had completely forgotten how much fun Andrea and I used to have, I mean, we spent a lot of time together when we were younger. "Bryanna hated us for that!" I laughed, "She never talked about another date ever again, let alone let us set her up on one." Andrea was holding her stomach, face red, laughing with everything she had.
"I.. I can't.. Oh my.." she struggled to say with each breath that she forced out of her lungs. She took a few quick deep breaths, trying to calm herself, until she was back to normal.The bartender placed 2 more drinks infront of us, and another bowl of peanuts, seeing as I had cleaned out the other bowl pretty fast.
"I wonder how Bryanna and Harry are hitting it off.." Andrea began to say, turning her back to me to look over at their table. I glanced over her shoulder to see Bryanna walking away from the table abd towards the dancefloor.
"Wait. Where's Harry?" I scanned the area around their table, still not seeing him. I didn't think he would leave without telling me.. I mean, where would he go? Back to my mom's house? I would hope not.
Andrea pointed her finger in the spot where Bryanna had stopped, "Found him." Harry was standing there with another girl, who I had never seen before, and Bryanna was on his other side. She leaned in and whispered something in his ear, causing him to laugh and she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the other side of the dancefloor. "I think they're getting along.." Andrea giggled, watching the two of them dance.
I moved my chair so that I was now facing Andrea, face to face. "I really missed you two. You know, it's tough being on tour and being away from your family and friends-" I was explaining when suddenly she cut me off.
"Niall, you left us. You completely stopped visiting, or even making an effort to call us every once and awhile," I could hear the seriousness in her voice, all the music around us drowning out.
I placed my hand just above her knee, "I didn't mean for it to happen that way. You two were my best friends, and you'll always be. Everything was just thrown in my face so quickly, I wasn't sure what I was doing. I'm really sorry Andrea, I really am." I squeezed her leg gently, and a smile formed on her face.
"Well you could've at least left us a note!" she playfully punched me in the arm. We both laughed. I missed those days, the days like tonight, where we were just ourselves. "Now, tell me about all of those crazy girls who are all over you 24/7!" she winked at me, clearly wanting to know all the details of the crazy fans.
"Some of them can be pretty wild, others aren't so bad. The violent ones are the ones you have to watch out for. I had a girl once try to rip my red polo off of me.. her friend got involved also," Andrea let out a little laugh, taking a sip of her drink, "But some are really sweet. They'll tweet me the nicest things, and they get loads of trending! But, none really know me. You know what I mean? All of the fans are lovely, really, but I just wish that a girl would want to date me because I'm Niall, and not because I'm 'Niall Horan from One Direction'. That's why I'm so glad to be back home, and seeing you two, it's great. And it brings back loads of memories!"
"It's good to have you back. I was actually at the Westfield Street corner store just last week and ol' Frank said to me, 'how's my little Nialler doing? Is it all well with him? I haven't seen that lad in years! Tell him I said hello when you talk'. 'Course I didn't know because you never call or anything, but you should go say hello," she told me, imitating Frank's voice to a tee. The three of us went to his corner store every saturday that summer to buy ice cream, and he made the best ice cream in Mullingar.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Harry and Bryanna walking towards us, looking partied out. Bryanna looked really happy.. happier than earlier tonight. She did a small hand gesture, which I noticed, she flicked her nose with her index finger, and Andrea winked at her. I wasn't quite sure what this meant.. I didn't speak 'girl code'.
"It's getting rather late.." Bryanna yawned, checking her phone.
"Before you go," I gave Harry the reasuring nod, to indicate that he was alright with what we had planned earlier during dinner, "Harry and I have something to ask you.."
