The Letters That Saved Her Life (sequel to Dear Niall {A Niall Horan Fanfic})

Jackie's POV

I woke up alone again. I'v been waking up alone for the past few weeks. Niall says he has to go in early to work on their album. He leaves early, goes to tour rehearsals all day, then doesn't come home until really late. Plus when he is home he acts weird around me. Like yesterday he came home for lunch and instead of sitting next to me on the couch he sat in the chair. Then he only stayed for maybe twenty minutes, then left.

At first I was mad because of the things he said to me that day when we got back from the studio. He'd said he would try, but he's not. Then I thought that it was sweet that he was staying so late cause he wants the album to be perfect for the fans. Now I'm thinking that I scared him away by being all upset that night. I was so upset last week that for two days I wouldn't talk to him, which was easy cause the only time I ever see him is when he comes home at night. All I had to do was ignore him when he got into bed.

Eleanor and I have plans to go to a coffee shop and get some wedding things done, then we were going to go see a movie later tonight. Her maid of honor is her cousin, but she's in Mexico for a few weeks for a college thing. Also she said from the beginning that she wouldn't be able to help a lot cause she's always busy. I don't mind helping her out though.

I took a quick shower and changed into dark jeans and a plain grey tee shirt. I put on Niall's leather jacket then went downstairs. I slip my winter boots on then head out after grabbing my phone. It's not too far, and Niall took the car, so I'm just going to walk. I still have to walk with my crutches, sadly. As I walk the only thing I can think of is Niall and how he's been acting. I step inside the small coffee shop and see El right away. I walk over and hug her, then sit down across from her. There are already paparazzi here, but we ignore them.

"Lets get started, shall we?" She says opening a book in front of her. I laugh.

"We shall." First were flowers. Today is going to be a long day.

I told Eleanor I'd meet her at the theater. I have to go home for a minute, and she said that Louis made reservations for them at a restaurant. I unlock the door then typed in the pass code after shutting the door behind me. Niall isn't home yet of course. I check the heat to see if it's still on, it is. It's been acting up lately. I texted Niall about it cause when he gets home he falls asleep, we can't even talk anymore.

I have at least an hour to kill before the movie. El said she knows of this theater that plays old movies. We both love old movies so we're gonna see one. Louis will probably be there too.

We stand in line waiting to buy the tickets to get in. Louis did end up coming too.

"Where's Niall?" Louis asks.

"I have no clue." I say just loud enough to tell that I'm not happy about it.

"You don't know where he is?" El asks.

"No. The past few weeks he's been coming home way too late. I don't see him in the morning, and when he does come home he's so tired that we can't even talk anymore. He just goes right to sleep."

"I'm sorry." Louis says. "I don't know why, we're almost done with the album and tour rehearsals are coming to an end." I hate not knowing these things. My phone rings in my pocket. I get it out and look at the caller ID, Niall.

"I'm sorry, I have to take this." I press the phone to my ear after taping answer. "Hello?" Eleanor and Louis are watching me.

"Hey. Uh, are you home?" His thick Irish accent asks through the line. I'v missed his voice too.
