Fate Has Different Plans

Chapter Twenty Six-You Won't Believe This

Chapter Twenty-Six

The party sort of died down after that. I had some people coming up to me and asking me if I was alright, to which I responded I was. Honestly, I just wanted to drink a few beers, get a slight buzz, and enjoy this party. I think that's what everyone wanted to do. My thoughts were still slightly off about his nickname of me, though. I knew I had heard it before, but where? Because of this, I was out of it, and I apologized multiple times to people that striked up a conversation with me. Most of them were singer friends who were asking about my music. Oh right. I still did that, didn't I? With everything that's happened, music had taken a back burner. Yeah, I had written a few blurbs here and there while recovering, but not much. I hadn't been in a studio in what seemed liked forever. I missed it now.

Ed was the most persistent when it came to doing a collab with me. This fact alone made my night ten times better. He had been my biggest music inspiration, ever since his amazing voice graced my ears. He was currently off tour, coming back from Australia the day before. He told me he had been doing promos and some signings, nothing big. It still fathoms me as to how he is still not that popular. He's a musical genius. People just had no taste this day and age. Not to say that they were wrong about One Direction. No one could deny there talent. Okay... people did, but they had no real proof or valuable points.

Currently, I was having a very intense discussion with said ginger about the different music types of each place he had visited. It was a great conversation, something I've missed having the pleasure of having. I mean, sure, I have the boys, but the only one I can have a somewhat deep conversation with is my brother, and he's been away. Niall and I have shared some moments, but still. They've been few and far. I wanted some alone time with him. Probably might be sooner than later, seeing as how he kept giving me this questioning looks. Probably still worried and confused about Austin.

"Yeah, I was down in Sydney, and they have a lot of rappers, surprisingly." He was telling me as he sipped on his Corona.

I raised an eyebrow at him before responding, "Really? Would not expect that what so ever."

"There so crazy out there, and some of the nicest people I've met."

I nodded my head again, losing my train of thought. Niall kept glancing over at me, giving me those sad puppy dog eyes, and it was distracting as hell. I smirked lightly, turning back to Ed, who merely looked between Niall and I in amusement.

"Sorry to cut you short. My boyfriend seems to need me. Just text me whenever you're free to have a studio session." I told him.

He nodded his head and tipped his almost empty beer to mine. "I will definitely do that."

"I await it."

I strode over to where Niall was perched on the arm of the couch, beer in one hand, the other up in the air has he was telling his mates some animated story. I slowed my pace down, wanting to enjoy seeing him like this. I think that's when I first realized I liked Niall James Horan. How he's so carefree with his ways and his demeanour. It fathoms me, how someone can be so free. He gets easily excited, a trait we have in common. He was childish, as was I. We were like two little kids together, but the boys wouldn't believe us if we told them. They saw the more relaxed side to our relationship. Alone, however, was different. But, that's a private matter, if you catch my drift.
