But You're Worth It...

Chapter 3

Walking with the boys was weird. They put their hoods up and avoided all eye contact with anyone. I felt like I was obligated to do so as well. I put my hood up and looked down. I suddenly tripped over the sidewalk. Niall jerked his head towards me and started to laugh. He had the cutest laugh I had ever heard in my life. I giggled and pushed him playfully. We finally got to their apartment.

"HARRY STYLES!!!" A teenage girl screamed from behind me. Suddenly a whole mass of girls crowded them. "What the hell is going on?!" I yell over the girls to Niall.

"One Direction! One Direction! One Direction!" The girls chanted.

Everything suddenly clicked. That is why they looked familiar! These boys are the actual member of One Direction. That's why these girls were freaking out!

"Come with me love!" Niall yelled.

He grabbed my hand and began to run up the stairs to the apartment. I followed him up and he unlocked the door. We walked through the door and he threw the keys on the table. I set my camera down as well. He was still holding my hand. I allowed it. Not because I found out that he was Niall Horan from One Direction but because he Niall Horan the kind and funny I was actually starting to like...

"Sorry about that..." He said as he led me to the couch to sit.

"Yeah it was." I said. I say down and he sat right next to me.

"So I'm guessing you now know who we are" He giggled.

"Yes I do. But I don't really care." I say.

"What do you mean?" He asks as he continued to stare at me.

"Ummm, I meant you being..." I mimicked the girls outside "NIALL HORAN FROM ONE DIRECTION!" He laughed. I continued "It's not why I like you"

His blue eyes look into my brown not so beautiful eyes. Our hands are still together.

"So you like me do you?" He teased. I smiled. We were just staring at each other. Despite the fact I am 19 years old I have never actually kissed anyone. I didn't want Niall to kiss me. At least not now. I had no idea what the hell I was doing! I guess he could see the nervousness in my eyes because he giggled. He leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. While his lips were on my cheek the door opened and we both jerked away from each other.

"What's going on in here?" Louis said with a smirk on his face. Niall and I both looked at each other and started to blush. "Should we leave?" Zayn says "Shut up Zayn".Niall says as he throws one of the couch pillows at him. "So what movie are we watching?" I try to change the subject because I can feel myself getting redder by the second. "The Hunger Games?" Zayn says as he's browsing through the movies. "That's good" I say. Zayn puts on the movie and he presses play. Niall scooted closer and closer to me until he our legs we touching. "Did he really like me?" I thought to myself.

Growing up no boys liked me. I was that child you saw sitting alone or playing by herself. Niall didn't see me that way though. I wondered why. What did he see in me? What did he see that no one else did? Why was such an amazing guy wasting his time on me. Why?

We watched the movie, exchanged awkward eye contact with each other, and laughed occasionally. "Oh my gosh! I forgot to tell my mom where I was!" I said. I got up off the couch and quickly dialled my mom's number.

Me: Hey mommy.

Mom: Hey, where are you?

Me: I'm so sorry I totally forgot to call you. I met someone while I was getting something to eat and...

*she cut me off*

Mom: YOU MET A BOY?!

Me: Well kinda, there are actually 5. It's hard to explain. I'll explain when I get home.

Mom: Ok baby. Be safe. I love you.

Me: I love you too.

I hung up the phone and sat back down with Niall. He grabbed my hand almost as soon as my butt hit the couch. "Is your mom ok with you here?" Niall said. "Yeah, she wants me to hang out with people. I don't really have friends" I reply. They all laugh. We continued to watch the movie. By the time it was over it was already 9pm. "I think I should get home." I say. "I'll drive you home!" Niall says. He stands up and takes my hand.
