HeartBeat[Niall Horan]

Chapter 19

"Hurry up mum I'm going to be late" I moan into the phone. It's already 2:16 and I'm supposed to be at my college interview in fifteen minutes and she's still not here.

"Drive faster I don't care, I can't be late!"

"Yes okay, bye!"

If I'm late I swear I'm going to kill her. not literally obviously.

She is here in a few minutes like she said and I'm already waiting on the side of the road outside the apartment when she pulls up. I climb inside and we're on the way to my college interview. I really want it to go well. I've been dreaming of going to this college for years and being accepted would mean everything. I'm surprised of how supportive my mum is. She's never really been the kind of person to always stick by my side and offer her support but this is different. She's assuring me I will get in and I even receive a positive hug before I enter the head office. I like this change in her. Since that day when I found out about her going out with that guy I'm pretty sure she thought hard about it and finally realised she needed to change. I love her for it I really do.

I'm shaking like mad and my breathing is too when I go to knock on the office door. I came very prepared and smart for this. I wore a white dress that stops ,just above my knees. I've never worn it before but I thought it suited the occasion. My heels are already killing me and I certainly regret wearing them but I have to look my best. My hair is up in a neat bun and my makeup is light. Everything is good.

"Come in" a thick Irish accented man sounds from inside the office and my shaky hands turn the door knob and my eyes peer around the room before I close the door behind me and take a seat In front if a large wooden desk which is filled with piles of papers and a rather new computer sits to one side. There are massive bookshelf's around the room filled with old and new books. The whole room seems to be wood and it's very tidy and clean.

"You must be Lillyan Rose" I'm guessing he's Professor Shaw. I recognise his voice from the phone call I received.

"Yes sir" I smile politely. I really have to be careful of what I say I can't mess this up.

"I've had a look through your papers and I phoned your previous teachers to get a good idea of the kind of student you are and I was very pleased to hear you're a fantastic student" his smile is bright and in all honesty he's a very handsome man. His hair is jelled back and his black suit fits around his broad shoulders perfectly.

"Thank you Professor" I'm surprised they said that because I remember getting in trouble with Niall quite a lot. But to be honest my grades were pretty good considering the fact I ditched a lot of lessons. I hope he doesn't know that.

After a good twenty minutes I'm walking out the office and ready to receive a phone call in the next few days to see if I've been accepted. That was the most nerve racking experience ever. I'm quite pleased with the way I handled it and my mum is very happy for me too. My mum drops me back at the apartment and gives me a kiss on the cheek before I hop out the car. I'm relieved when I finally get into the elevator and I can take my shoes off. My feet are so sore. These shoes are not my friend.

The elevator takes a while to reach out floor and I wait patiently. My mind wanders to Harry and Niall. They haven't spoken at all and I wonder what the reason behind it it. I also think about Niall and his nightmare. What was it about? Why did he call my name? Was it me? I hope it's nothing too serious although he's been acting a bit off since. I wish he would just tell me so I don't have to worry and I'm sure it would be better for him to talk to someone about it. The elevator reaches my desired level and I step off it and make my way down the hall way, high heels in hand. When I get to front door I don't bother getting my keys out and knock. No answer. What the hell. I knock a bit louder this time and Niall opens the door.

"Sorry I was um in the, bathroom" his hands are hanging down by his crotch and I don't really want to know what he did. I nod and step into the apartment. it's warm and goosebumps spread on my skin. My high heels are placed on the side and I make my way to the kitchen where Niall meets me a few moments later, after I've piled a whole load of junk food on to a plate and we both take the couch. Niall brings me in to his chest and I snuggle into him and his smell, the smell that I love so much fills my nose and I breath it in gently.

"I missed you today. A lot" Niall whispers, pulling me further up his chest as I lie on top of him. A few candles have been laid out around the small table that rests In front of the couch and some cheesy romantic movie is playing on Netflix. Completely perfect if you ask me.

"Me too" I return a smile and he kisses my forehead. I spend the rest of the night thinking about Niall and I. I'm completely ready to forget the past and start clean. Its about time....
