I WANNA BE WITH YOU

CHAPTER 9: I WANNA BE WITH YOU

SCARLET’S POV:

Niall. 

That’s the only name that comes to mind when I feel sad or I feel like my world is ending. My mom is dead. Shane told me the news on how she was in a car crash when she left the bar last night. I really shouldn’t care, it’s just I really never had a mom and now I know I can’t ever fix her. 

Niall hugged me and he was the only thing that mattered at this point. He pulled away and held my shoulders. “Come on tour with us. You and Shane.”

I was shocked. Did he really just ask for me to come on tour with him?! This is amazing! I guess it would keep my mind off of my mother.. but wouldn’t I be a bother? They have no room in that tour bus! I would feel so out of place..

“But Ni-” he quickly interrupted me. “Listen, we have a tour bus for anyone who come with use that can’t fit into ours. Stay in there with Shane. You guys need to leave. Get your minds off of this town and just forget everything. You deserve it. Just say you’ll come with me.” 

Louis came over to us with a huge smile on his face jumping up and down. “PLEASE SCARLET! IT’D BE SO MUCH FUN! AND WE’LL FINALLY HAVE A NEW GUY TO COME ALONG WITH US!” Shane smiled. 

I looked at him and asked “Would you be alright with that Shane?” He was ecstatic about the idea. More excited than me, but then I thought about school. I need school, I need to graduate and so does Shane. 

“But Niall, what about school.” He had to think about that one for a second. His eyes widened and you can see the light bulb come on above his head. “We’ll get a teacher to come along with us! Home school!” He always had the perfect answer for everything.

My life is going by so fast. I can’t believe that I’m actually going to share this experience with Niall Horan. The boy I am completely in love with. A few days ago he was just some boy hanging on my bedroom wall, and now he is everything to me. 

Later that day I was discharged from the hospital and I went home to pack the house. Walking down the hall seeing emptiness on the walls was normal but I felt a little sorrow. Whenever I went to friends houses I would see family photos hung from the walls with different quotes surrounding it. Our home wasn’t even a home. It was just a place to stay, and I had no problem leaving it behind. My bedroom was packed into 3 boxes that i’ll leave in a storage bin for a few months until I figure out where i’ll live after the tour is over. Shane yelled down the hall “I’m done. Are you ready?” We went though the house just to remember the times we’ve had. Like the time Shane put on roller skates in the bathroom and fell on the tile. He chipped his tooth. You can still see the chip when he smiled. Or the stairs where we used to slid down them to see who could get to the bottom first. Or the kitchen where we made popcorn one night and it set on fire and we almost puked over the smell. All of these memories are our past now as we walk out the front door with the boxes in our hands. This is our time to make new memories. This is our time to be with people who love us.

We both walked to the van waiting for us without looking back.

NIALLS P.O.V:

She needs to have fun.

We woke up the next day in bed and went for breakfast in the living room. Shane stayed on the couch, in the same sleeping position as Scar always is. I swear they could be twins. We stayed quite getting dressed and got ready for a time out today. I’m going to ask her on a date tonight. 

She asked to borrow a sweatshirt from me so she went into my bag to grab one. I love it when girls where my clothes, especially when they are loose, I hate tight clothing. She walked out of the bedroom with my sweatshirt and leggings with a pair of ragged converse on. “You look perfect today.” As I got up to hold her in my arms. She left a note for Shane telling him we were going out to explore the city, and then we were on our way. But before we left the room she asked “What if all the girls see you?” She had a point.. So I ran into my room to get sunglasses with a hoodie. Maybe I wont be as noticeable. 

We had a lot of fun that day. We went shopping then went to a coffee shop and just talked about everything under the sun from sports to food and food to clothing. We could never run out of things to say. A few people recognized me and asked for a picture. I agreed because I would do anything for my fans. They are what make me, me. I wouldn’t be here without them.. Scarlet handled it very well. She even offered to take the pictures for them. One girl actually asked for a picture of us together so we did. We made it goofy, she was kissing my cheek and I made a funny face. That’ll be all over the internet in a matter of seconds. 

After we left the coffee shop I asked her to a date tonight at the bar. Nothing special. She was so excited, but the first thing we needed to do was get fake ID’s. I already had one because the boys like to have a good time in America but the age limit is 21.. I found someone selling them on the street and he gave us one for 30 bucks. Pretty cheap actually. We got back to the hotel around 7:00. I gave her time to get dressed and do whatever girls do before dates.. They always take way too long. Shane was sitting on the couch going down his Tumblr feed. I looked over his shoulder and he pointed at the screen. “You guys make like wild fire.” It was the picture we took today. It was the best photo I have of us, I should frame it. 

She came out wearing a short white dress that looked like it was made out of feathers. Her long legs were in Floral pink high heels and she had very light makeup with smoky eyes. She looked gorgeous, but I still prefer her without makeup. 

We walked out alone, no one outside waiting for us because it was night time. We walked down the block to the bar and entered with ease. Everyone was up dancing but I could tell she wasn’t into that. We sat there until a bartender came over. “What can I get you two tonight?” She looked up through her thick eyelashes and asked for beer. I looked at her confused “You like beer?” She laughed and smiled wide. “Yeah I do, I hate those wimpy drinks all the girls drink. You gotta have the good stuff.” The man placed hers on the table and she cheered with me when I got mine. She put the glass up to her mouth and chugged the whole thing. She was amazing! To see a girl do that, she has some gutts. I can’t even do that. We laughed the whole night away until we both were wasted. We stumbled back up to the hotel to find a note from Shane saying “Hanging out with Zayn tonight. See you in the morning.” We were alone. The boys were gone. Just me and her. I pulled her into my arms and we kissed. I felt the zipper on her dress and started to pull it down until she took her hand and stopped me. She looked up with her big green eyes and said“Maybe when i’m sober.” I pouted and went into the bedroom where we passed out. 

All I wanted was her tonight, too bad she stopped me.
