Scarlett

"Niall?"

I heard myself say, but my voice sounded like it didn't belong to me as I stared into his ocean eyes.

"I'm sorry to just show up like this."

He told me with a shy smile.

He had placed his hands nervously in his jean pockets and his eyes fell to his feet.

Unsure of what to do, someone was suddenly behind me.

"I called him."

Shawn said out of nowhere, a little surprised I turned to meet Shawn's eyes.

He smiled down at me.

"I know how much he means to you, and I want you to be happy."

He spoke, I was still in complete shock.

"Go on, have your moment."

He laughed, before I knew it Shawn turned on his heel and left me alone with Niall.

"Let's go for a short walk."

Niall spoke up after a few moments of silence.

He reached his hand out and I hesitantly took it, warmth radiated throughout my body at his gentle touch.

We descended the apartment stairs and found ourselves on the sidewalk by the Main Street.

"You okay, I mean with being here?"

I asked after a moment of us quietly walking, I looked over at him to see his face grow serious.

"Scar, you're my best friend. I may not be okay with this, but I want to be here for you."

He told me delicately, I smiled knowing how much he cared for me.

"I'm glad you're here, everything's perfect now."

I told him, he lightly squeezed my hand.

"I missed you."

I said quietly, he chuckled.

"So much for a proper goodbye!"

He laughed out, I giggled along with him.

"Are you going to stay for the wedding?"

Right when I asked, I knew I shouldn't have.

What was I thinking?

"I wouldn't miss your wedding.'

He told me softly, he stopped walking and turned to face me.

He took my other hand in his and smiled down at me.

"Scar, I do love you."

He whispered, my breath hitched in my throat.

"I know I shouldn't..."

He whispered, but before he could finish his sentence he had pressed his soft lips to mine.

"Niall!"

I yelled out, after I quickly pulled back.

I placed my hand over my lips and my eyes grew wide.

What had he done?

I quickly let go of his hands, and booked it back for the apartment.

"Scarlett!"

Niall called, I ignored him and hurried home.
