At First Sight

Chapter 15- Half a Heart

"What do you mean your done?" Natalie's voice as raspy from crying.

"Natalie, you fucking cheated on me! How would you feel if I cheated on you? Huh? Exactly it hurts like hell. It always will. And I can't trust you anymore." Niall yelled at her.

"Niall! Just please listen to me. I am in love with you, I always will be. Yes, I know it doesn't change the fact that I kissed someone else, but I am in love with you. From the day we met, the first time I saw you."

"I don't believe in love at first sight." Niall whispered.

"I do." Natalie pushed back her tears. She looked up so her tears would fall back into her eyes. Who was she kidding though. "I believe in love at first sight, because I experienced it. I did. From the moment I ran into you, from the moment I looked into those beautiful, blue eyes of yours, from the moment you first spoke to me. I fell in love with you."

"Well you know what? Some people fall out of love. And I just experienced it." Niall's voice was unstable.

"Take me home. Now." Natalie couldn't even look up.

"Natalie, that's not what I meant."

"No! I know exactly what you meant. Maybe it is just better we do break up. My life would be better without you anyway. No more fights, no more tears, just like it was before you came. Hmm, maybe I'll even text Liam right now and say I'm..."

"Enough Natalie! God. You just don't know when to shut up." Niall yelled. He ran his hands through his hair. "Look I'm sorry. But I just can't do this anymore."

The rest of the car ride was silent. Natalie held in her tears and slammed his door shut when she got out. She turned around to look at him one last time, he was looking down, his face in his hands. He was still gorgeous to her, no matter what. It was time, though, for her to move on. She debated whether calling Harry or Liam, then she texted Brittany. Britany responded two minutes later and said, "I'll be there in five with the vodka;)." Natalie smiled for the first time in days.

"Hey, sweetheart." Her dad walked up to her and gave her a hug. "Are you ok?"

"No." She barely let out. She started crying again. Her mom walked into the room a few minutes later. Her face longed for Natalie to apologize. Looking up at her mom, Natalie let go of her dad and ran over to her.

"I'm really sorry, mom, I didn't mean to hurt you like that." Natalie hugged her mom.

"It's ok. I know I've been hard on you these last couple of years. It was my fault." Her mom smiled at her and wiped the tears from Natalie's face. "Where's Niall?"

Natalie just shook her head. She opened her mouth to speak, but lost all of her words.

"Oh, honey, I'm sorry." Both of her parents hugged her, then the door opened and it was Brittany.

"Oh, did I miss something?" Brittany had a puzzled face.

"Everything." Natalie got untangled from her parents and hugged Brittany. Although her parents knew what was in Brittany's bag, they didn't say anything. They also knew that they would stay in the house and not drink all of it. But what her parents didn't know, they would be sneaking out in the middle of the night.

"It's almost midnight." Natalie whispered. She already had two shots of vodka and one beer. Brittany was nursing on her 3rd beer.

"Zayn and Liam should be here any minute. So, exaclty how are we going to get out of here?" Brittany asked.

"Through my window and down the tree." Natalie pointed to her window. "Is there anyone else coming?"

"Zayn told me just Liam."
