Falling

Chapter 2

Carmen~ Me and Niall walked out of my front door to the cold air. We we were walking to the bus stop. "So Carmen." Niall said happily. That boy has so much hope and happiness. He lighten up my day. He was my best friend and never want to ruin that. We met when I first came. He's my next door neighbor and his mom and my mom are best friends so you can get the idea why we met. Yeah I was shy around people, but around Niall, I was so care free. I never really did anything bad and my grades are always A's. he on the other hand...He doesn't really stand up because he as me. He's everyone's friend but he's my best friend. "Yes Niall?" I smiled. "What would you say if I told you, you were Beautiful." He smiled hugely. I rolled my eyes. Don't think he likes me. I told him about my problems about my past and my insecurities. But no what I do. "You tell me everyday Niall. When are you going to stop." I laughed. I don't want him to feel pity for me. "When you believe me." He laughed putting his arm around my shoulder. The bus came as we made a stop. "Come to my house later." He said getting on the bus. I nodded. I needed company to eat shit out of my mind. And we made our way to hell.

After school. I knocked on his door. Today at school was hell. In first period, the boy i liked since forever, Alex, had told me to meet after school at his locker and winked at me. i was so excided that not even the bitch of Vanessa could take it down. Then after school i met him and Vanessa and her gang laughed at me and hit me and called me names. i left running in the damn pouring rain and this is where i ended up. i cried a lot. i couldnt go home. Mom wasn't home. Niall didn't ride the bus. Ugh. I need him. After a few seconds he opened it. But differently. He stared at me a bit quiet and sad. "Hey Carmen. Come in." He said then eyes wide. he grabbed my hand and helped me.I entered and he gave me a towel quickly. "Ugh. Why do they do this to you?" he groaned and sat next to me. We sat on the couch. Silence. "Niall is there something wrong?" I asked concerned. "Why?" He quickly turned. His blue eyes shined. "You seem awfully quiet." I said worried. I was cold and shivering but i wanted to know. He sighed. Oh shit. "Carmen you know your my best friend?" he asked me sincere. I was scared. "Ye-yes." I cracked. "No matter what. I love you." He said looking me in the eyes. I nodded. "You know how my dream was to become a singer. Well, I'm going to the X Factor." Niall said afraid. I slightly smiled. "That's great Nia-." I began to say. I was proud of him. We both wanted it but I was too shy. "Wait tho." He said cutting me off. "What Niall?" I asked now really worried by his face. "I won't be back in a year if I get through two years." He said afraid what will I say. I began to tear. In a year? Possibly two? Niall quickly went to hug me tightly. "Look I won't go if yo-" he said but I cut him off. "No. Go. This is your dream. I don't want to hold you back. I love you as my bro so in that case I want you to be happy." I said proudly. "But Van-." He began to say. "I'll take care of it." I lied. He smiled at me. "Your my best friend." He smiled and hugged me tightly. What am going to do?
