Together

Chapter 8

Guys! Just one little note before you can read the new chapter!

Maybe some of you have already seen I changed the title of this story. The old one was "L.a.f.s. - Love at first sight." But I prefer this one TOGETHER!

If you want to, you can comment how you like it! :)

SO, that's all from me. Enjoy the new chapter and if you like it, could you please tell some friends? Tysm! Ly <3

NIALL’s POV

“Great. I want to talk with you about the girl you’re meeting.”

What? Why should she know about Laura? Like I’ve paid so much attention that we weren’t seen by any paps.

“Sorry, Jessy. But I really don’t fucking know what you’re talking about. I’m not seeing a girl at the moment and …”

“Niall, don’t even try to twit me! I’m serious. There are pics of you, with a girl. And I want you to tell me who she is.”

Fuck, who the fuck could have seen me. Maybe some fans? Why can’t I even have at least a little bit privacy? Just a little bit? Of course not. I mean I’m talking with fucking management at 1:50 am!

“For God’s sake, Jessy! Yes. I met a girl today. A girl that I’ve just got to know and that is only a good friend of mine! So just calm down will you?”

Silence. She doesn’t answer and it just started wondering if she’s still in line when she answers me:

“So, Niall Horan! You promise me that she’s only a FRIEND and that you don’t have any feelings for her?”

I have to swallow. No, I can’t. But… I have to. I have to promise it to her. Because, well, because I am not even sure about my feelings and I don’t know if she feels the same. But…

“So?” she asks and I can literally hear her back-stabbing smile. No, I can’t tell her.

“Yes, I promise. She’s only a good friend of mine.”

LAURA’s POV

‘You’re ready?’ he asks me with a smile on his face.

Am I? Bungee Jumping? Really, Laura? He looks at me and starts laughing.

‘You’re afraid, aren’t you?’ he laughs harder. It’s the typical ‘Niall Horan’ laugh.

‘No, I’m not!’ I tell him but I can see in his eyes that he doesn’t believe me.

‘Okay, then let’s jump!’ he shouts, takes my arm and…

 

OUCH!

Fucking coach! I’m sitting on the floor and I’ve just fallen out of bed! What the hell! Where am I? I hear a voice and I recognize immediately that it’s Niall’s.

I lay back and close my eyes, a smile on my lips. It’s been such a wonderful evening. We’ve talked and laughed a lot. I really think I’m in love. Yes, I guess I just have to admit it to myself. Because it’s true. I feel different when I’m around him. There are little butterflies in my stomach and I feel like being on cloud nine. I’ve read so many books and watched even more movies and there’s always this special scene about a boy and a girl falling in love with each other before they even spoke a single word. They just look at each other and then there’s this special music and everything is freezing. Love at first sight. I never believed in it. I always told my sister that it’s impossible falling for a person without even knowing him or her. But now I see that it isn’t. It just happened to me. Love at first sight. It’s so easy. I smile again and stand up. I really need a glass of water. Going to the kitchen, I hear Niall angry speaking with someone on the phone. I look at my watch, it’s 1.40 am. Who could this be? I step closer.

“Okay, you’ve got five minutes. Then I have to go to bed ‘cause tomorrow is this very important meeting!” He says with a sarcasm. Fuck, I really wanna know who this is.

“Sorry, Jessy. But I really don’t fucking know what you’re talking about. I’m not seeing a girl at the moment and …”

What? He’s talking with a girl? Jessy? And he’s telling her that he’s not seeing a girl right now? And what about me? I swallow. And I start understanding. He doesn’t like me. At least he doesn’t like me the same way I do. He listens to Jessy. But then he starts answering her and I don’t know if it’ll be good listening to it.

“For God’s sake, Jessy! Yes. I met a girl today. A girl that I’ve just got to know and that is only a good friend of mine! So just calm down will you?”

Bam. That’s a slap in the face. He has a girlfriend. And now they’re fighting because she found out he’s seen another girl. But he wants her to calm down. This means… he’s serious with her. He wanna stay with her, not with me! That hurts!

Turning around, I grad my handbag and open the door silently. He needn’t hear me. I don’t want him to see my tears. Idiot! I’m such an idiot! Why am I always that naïve? Why do I always fall for the bad guys, for the assholes? That isn’t fair. And I thought he was different. I felt different. But it wasn’t different. I close the door behind me and run down the stairs. But – because being dumped isn’t enough – I don’t see one stair. I’m falling over.

“Shit!” I look at my hands. It’s just a little cut but it hurts like hell.  Tears are running over my cheeks and I sit back. I know that they aren’t because of this little wound. At least not because of the wound at my hands. I know it’s ridiculous but I really fell in love with hem. He took my heart – and broke it.
