Niall’s POV
The family event was over. All I could think about was Ellen the whole time. I kept wondering how she took the news. I heard my phone buzz, so I picked it up and sure enough it was Nolan calling.
“Hey, how did it go?” I asked him.
“Should I lie, or tell the truth?” he replied.
“Truth Nolan, just spit it out” I said, I started to get annoyed with him.
“She took it really badly. She was so angry. She said that she never wants to see you and for you to never contact her again. Oh and she wants me to tell you to shove it.” He explained.
I bit my lip, my eyes dropped and I started to feel really upset. I should have just old my mom I had plans, really important plans. Tonight was supposed to be the night I won her heart. It turned into the exact opposite of that. She officially hates me.
“What should I do Nolan?” I asked, needing advice from him.
“Just give her time. Go back to her after the tour. She will not want to speak to you anytime soon that’s for sure. I think in a few months she will want to talk to you, she just needs time to get over this.” He replied.
“Thanks Nolan. Talk to you later bud.” I hung up the phone. I didn't think that there was any chance that she would ever forgive me.
I fell asleep feeling really bad about myself though, and like a horrible person for cancelling on the most beautiful girl in the world. I broke her heart, again. I didn’t even get a chance to see her face.
Ellen’s POV
I woke up feeling horrible; I needed breakfast. There was nothing in the fridge so I decided to go to the grocery store. I got in my car and drove to the nearest store. I walked in the door, took my sunglasses off and ran my fingers through my hair.
I looked straight ahead of me and I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Niall Horan was right in front of me looking at the apples in the produce isle, then he turned the corner and was out of sight. My mouth dropped, I felt my heart pound out of my chest and I started to breathe really heavily. He was six feet in front of me. I contemplated turning on my heels and running back to my car. But I knew I couldn’t just be a chicken my entire life. I needed to man up and face him. We have been through a lot considering we haven’t seen each other in two years.
I grabbed a basket from the pile and started to walk down the produce isle, pretending like I never even saw him. I picked up some fruit and walked down the next isle, I noticed his signature red hat out of the corner of my eye. He was studying the bread like it was some kind of job, typical Niall. I decided to try and make a stand; I walked right by him and to the next isle. Suddenly I saw him walk right in front of me, and he took off the sunglasses he always used as a “disguise” and he looked me right in the eyes.
“Wait, Ellen?” He asked me.
“Yep that’s my name don’t wear it out.” I said to him and walked away.
“Ellen, don’t do this. Come back.” He pleaded.
“Why? All that’s going to happen is your going to leave me again.” I told him. I started to act sassy. He was going to have to fight for me this time.
“Listen Ellen, I’m sorry. I don’t have much else to say but that I am really really sorry for cancelling on you last night. I should have told my mother I had other, more important plans.” He explained.
“Do you really think this is all because of last night? Where is your freaking explanation for the last two years? How are you going to explain how you had not a free minute in the past two years Niall?” I shouted. People started to stare at us.
“Ellen, can we talk about this outside? I don't want people to notice me.” he asked.
“Fine." I stated. I dropped my basket and stomped outside. He followed closely behind me. “Explain Niall.”
“I was nervous Ellen. I was scared. I didn’t know if you thought that day meant something or not. There is no real reason why I didn’t call you Ellen. I guess I was afraid of rejection and I don’t know. I mean, what if you didn’t actually like me? I know I it’s been two years Ellen but..” He went on and on. Everything he said made sense even though it was all jumbled up. I believed him. I was thinking the same things as him inside.
“I’m just rambling now, I just want you to know I still care about you and what we had Ellen.” He told me and stared deep into my eyes.
He sounded so sincere. All the anger that was built up inside from yesterday and the last few years suddenly faded away. “Well Niall. You’re going to have to remind me what we had that day.” I smirked and looked up at him. I subconsciously bit my lip.
