The New Boy. A Niall Horan Fan Fiction

Don't Forget Where You Belong

"That's so beautiful", I told Niall after he stopped playing. He looked down on his guitar and smiled shyly. "Thanks", he whispered with a small smile. "No, really! Your voice is really good. But I think I don't know the song, who is it from?" He looked at me for a moment and then down on the football field, as he mumbled something which I couldn't really understand. "Sorry?", I asked, blushing. "It's my song", he repeated, still quiet, but understandable. I was stunned. "You wrote that?!" Niall shook his head and nodded at the same time. "I did, but it's really not good. I shouldn't have played it", he said and started packing the guitar back into the bag. "Are you kidding? It's freakin' amazing! You should play it to Harry and the boys and play it together as a band! You're really talented!!" I wasn't able to contain myself anymore. "Please, promise to play it to Harry at least. I can tell that he'll love it!"

He had to laugh and turned his face towards mine. "Looks like you really liked it", he said, "though I can't really understand that, but fine. I'll show Harry. Promise." He smiled as I sank into the depth of his blue eyes. He made me feel special, I suddenly realized. I felt like I could be myself with him and that he accepted me the way I was. I studied his face while he was studying mine. His face was so handsome, especially in this beautiful light.

"Ahm, I should probably get going, I have to get alot of homework done tonight", Niall suddenly interrupted the silence. I nodded hastily. "Yeah, me too. Do you need a lift home?", I asked since I knew that he walked to school every day. "Oh yes, thank you", he accepted and we both stood up from the stand, awkwardly after the intimate moment. I thought that we were so close to each other, we could have kissed and then I hated myself for the thought. I didn't want things to become like that, I just wanted to be friends. Why was that so difficult?

I spent the evening lying on my bed, listening to music and thinking. I was a little confused, concerning the development with the Irish boy. At the party he told me himself that he didn't want me to flirt with him and that he wanted to be friends. And he was the one that cut the intimate moment off that day. But he was also the one that played this heartbreaking song in his heartbreaking voice to me. And he was the one that was so cute to me after the party. And he was the one I felt so relaxed with. But of course, there was Lucas! My hot boyfriend. I also felt completely secure with him. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he kissed me. And I was certain that I was in love with him. But then there was me, the normal girl who thought of cute Irish boys though I already had the perfect boyfriend. It was unbearable. I took my pillow and screamed my lungs out. Much calmer, I took my phone and dialed the only number I knew by heart. He picked up immediately "Hey Babe. Amazing win today!" I smiled as I heard the deep voice in my right ear. "Thanks, love. You weren't so bad either", I told him. His laugh sent shivers down ma back. "I didn't do anything", Lucas reminded me and I smiled. "You cheered at me and that's the reason I won", I explained and it was cheesy, but I felt like saying the right thing. "Aw, you're so cute. I'd love having you right next to me", he told me. I smiled again and there was silence for a short time until I said "I miss you" and I meant it.

I woke up the next day, smiling again. Lucas and I had talked a long time on the phone. I felt like I did the right thing and I knew by the time we hung up, that I really didn't want anything more than friendship with Niall. I got up and dressed. I felt like wearing a dress, so I put out my short white summer dress and a grey cardigan. It was a beautiful day and I was in a very good mood. My blonde curls didn't make any problems either and the sun already drew funny patterns on the floor. I payed a short visit at Starbucks before driving to school, where I met Alice. "Hey!", she greeted, "Amazing race yesterday! I didn't see you after it, but you were really good." I was happy. "Thanks, Al. I'm really proud, actually!" "Yeah, you should be!", she answered and linked her arm with mine. "I think Noah's completely satisfied with yesterday's results, hopefully he'll relax a bit for the next weeks", she rolled her eyes and I laughed. "Surely!" We ordered and left the coffee shop. Alice went with me since she normally took the school bus. "Michael asked me out for prom", she told me proudly after I started my car. "Really? That's so cool!" I knew she had a crush on him for, like, forever and he was also really fit. He played also on the football team. "I mean, he probably really likes to go with you! There are five weeks left until prom!", I continued and she blushed. "I know, right? I'm so excited! You're probably going with Lucas, aren't you?", she asked, drinking from her coffee. "'Course!", I replied, smiling and pulled the car onto the school grounds. "I bet you'll win", Alice said as I parked the car on my spot. "Win what?" "You two are going to win prom king and queen", she explained, "for sure!" I frowned. "Nah, hopefully not!" We went into the building and I headed to my locker to get my chemistry stuff. Unfortunately Ben had returned this week, so I had to work with him again. I walked past Lucas and gave him a playfull kiss on his neck from the back. Then I saw Niall who came along the hallway. "Hey", I greeted him and smiled. He joined us. "Hey, Niall!", Lucas also called and they high fived. "Did you watch the game yesterday?" Niall nodded excitedly and they began talking about football. I rolled my eyes and started walking towards the chemistry lab.

Niall was happy that Lucas was being so nice to him, after first difficulties. They exchanged their thoughts about the football game and had a really good talk until Ben showed up. "Hey, mate", Ben said and ignored Niall. He decided it was time to leave. "See you, guys", he said.

"Do you think you can get some more of those pills, man?", he heard Lucas whispering, while leaving. "How were they called?" -"Oh, you mean Valium? Sure you can have some..."  - "It worked pretty well last timr!" Lucas snickered and Niall frowned, confused from the conversation he just overheard. He was sure he already heard of the word Valium but he didn't remember anything about it. He took a look at the big watch in the corridor and realized there were five more minutes until the first period started, so he quickly pulled out his phone and googled it. Valium is a so-called benzodiazepine and it's usually used to treat anxiety disorders, he read. Niall scrolled down the page for further information and read that it was also often used as drug to get a drunk feeling. Niall was startled. Could that be? Could they go so far to use high addictive medicine as an instrument to get high?
