Someday {Niall Horan}

Chapter 31: Past mistakes, and Flashbacks

Niall's POV

"Niall!" she calls across the room. "I have to tell you something, it's really important."

"What is it, babe?" I ask as I drink with a small group of my so called friends. Any minute I'll be drunk.

"Look, you have to promise you won't get mad. I know how you are with these types of situations." What the hell is this about?

"How am I with these types of situations?"

"I-I don't think you'll like this news, but you have to know about it."

"What the fuck is it?"

"You remember a few nights ago when we...you know." I nod.

"Well, I didn't really feel good this morning, I threw up like crazy and I just had a need for certain foods-"

"Gabby, no. I don't want to hear about it." I know what she's talking about, she hasn't said it yet but I can tell.

"I'm pregnant." I stop drinking my bottle of beer and my friends and I all stare at her. "And I think that you're the father."

"Whoa man, you're fucking screwed," Adam says patting my back.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you. Gabby, come with me." I grab her by her wrist and drag her to another room.

"What the fuck do you think you are talking about. You're on birth control. Aren't you." She looks down on the floor trying to avoid answering my question. We're standing in the middle of a college party and she's standing here not answering my questions. "Hey, I asked you a question."

"I forgot to take my birth control pill...I'm sorry."

"Well, it's to damn late for that now, isn't it?" I should've never fucked her, now look at the mess she made. "You didn't think you should've told me that before that night?"

"It was too late, I remembered the next morning." She's starting to cry now but I don't give a fuck. She dug this hole for herself and I'm not falling in. "You're not going to leave me, are you?" She's absolutely sobbing now, and I'm standing hard as a rock. I have too many emotions right now. I'm nervous, angry, upset, and confused. I don't know what else to do than what I do best.

Before I could stop myself, before I could comfort Gabby, I run out of that frat house faster than I ever ran before. I can't do anything about it.

"Niall!" Gabby calls after me, running to catch up. I completely ignore her and hop into my car. "Wait, let me explain!" She tries to run towards the car as I start it, but fails and falls to the floor in pain.

I wake up shaking in my own bed, and realize that it was just a dream. "Fuck." I can't even think straight, it felt so real. It was like I went back in time for a year. I look to my side to see Emily staring up at me as I recover.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just go back to sleep." I need someone to talk to, someone to tell about my life before, me dream, but I can't tell Emily. If I ever did, she'd absolutely hate me, think that I'm heartless for leaving a pregnant teenage girl to suffer her consequences alone, when it was half my fault. I can't just sit here, I'll go crazy. When I ensure that Emily is back to sleep, I slowly sneak out of bed.

"Hey lad, you okay?" Louis asks as I open the door.

"Shhhh, Emily's still sleeping upstairs." I couldn't handle this alone, I needed Louis for support.
