*Nicole's POV*
I was literally gasping for air when I let go of Niall.
I didn't plan on crashing down, let alone crying-- no, wailing in front of Niall Horan! But I just needed to let my feeling and hurts out... I've been keeping them building up inside of me since I can remember.
"You okay?" Niall said, his eyes full of concern.
I sniffed and nodded, "Let's get out of here?"
"Okay" He replied. He took his wallet out and got enough money to cover our brunch.
He stood up, offered his arm to me and said, "Let's go?" while smiling a bit. I took his arm and smiled.
We walked slowly when I noticed some girls gaping and pointing at us. I suddenly felt very awkward so I started to free my arm that was clinging to his, but he kept me from doing so, raised an eyebrow at me and said , "What's the matter?"
"Girls" I replied, nodding my head to the direction of the group of girls that I saw.
Niall looked at the girls and said, "Oh" he hesitated for a moment and added "you don't mind, do you?"
"What do you mean?" I asked him, genuinely confused.
"Er- you know, your arm...." he replied, looking down.
Was he crazy or what? Hundreds- no, Millions of girls would trade their intestines to be in my position!
"I don't" I reassured him as I was glancing at the now laughing Jake and Ella.
Psh. Jake. That guy... is such a jerk! But a sweet one as well. Contradicting myself, huh? He;s kind of perfect actually. He can sing, dance, draw, paint, play different kinds of insturments, you name it!
There's his one flaw though, He flirts all the time. He acts like he has no girlfriend, like he has no me. He feels like he's still single and he still loves Ella.
How do I know? I can see it in his eyes... whenever we try to talk about her. He just smiles there but he doesn't notice the tears building up on the corners of his eyes that are full of sadness. I was just hoping that he might actually get over the girl that was why I stayed. Because I loved him.
"Oi" Niall snapped me out of my deep thoughts.
"Right, sorry" I laughed out of embarassment.
Niall started to walk to the direction of Jake and Ella's table and I abrupted to a stop.
"What are you doing?!" I whispered at Niall.
"I'm taking you out of here?" he said
"Is ther no other way out here?" I asked exasperately.
I just cried my eyes out and Niall seemed to be leading me to take a closer look at Jake and Ella.
"None. Just don't look at them." he suggested.
Riiiiiight.
"I'll try" I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
We started to walk again as I was trying not to look at Jake. But of course, I can still see them in the corner of my eye,
We were almost at the door when....
Niall suddenly halted, his eyes bulging. My jaw dropped.
Jake and Ella were kissing.
"What the-" I started to say but I was cut off by Niall.
"That's not cool, dude" his loud voice, thick with Irish accent filled the room.
Everyone stopped and looked at us, inclusing Jake and Ella.
Jake, fresh from breaking the kiss, stood up and said, "Nicole... I....."
"Save your lies to someone who would believe them, Jake" I said, my anger building up.
"But--"
"You heard her, man" Niall interrupted him.
"Why are you butting in??" Jake asked angrily
"Because I'm Irish!" Niall stuck his tongue out at him andran out the door, dragging me with him.
"I could hear the applause in the restaurant as we left and entered the car waiting for us.
We sat there in silence for a few moments and started cracking up.
"You are very hard to read" Niall said, his laugh dying away.
"I'm not a book" I said.
"Ha-ha. Don't try and make a joke okay?" Niall said in his poker face.
"Fine."
"I meant, you are crying your eyes out one minute and you're laughing the next" he explained.
Oh you mean I'm crazy?
"I'm just like that. I;m not one to mope around and pity myself. I dont like crying, I just had to cry a while ago. I'm sorry"
"No, it's okay, I understand."
I smiled and waited for him to speak.
"You gonna break up with him now?" Niall asked.
"Honestly? I don't know." I said, thinking things over.
"You love him that much, huh?" he smiled a little
I was always answering yes to these questions, whoever asks me. But why am I not answering back now? Why don't I feel the same way about Jake as I did just yesterday? Is it because of Ella? Is it because of the kiss?
Right now, I can't make up my mind. I am too busy denying things and I'm a bit too confused about everything else.
