Eccentric (Niall Horan)

Chapter 17

Niall's car comes to a halt as we await for the red light to turn green. We're only about ten minutes away from Green Bay and so far it feels like we have been driving for miles across the country. My body has been tensed and hasn't moved.

"Where do you live?" Louis speaks suddenly with his voice a bit rusty because of him not talking for a while.

"37 North Field" I say, Niall clearing his throat.

"North Field?" Louis questions. I nod again and he stays silent looking out the window with his fingers on the arm stand. I feel like I knew he was going to do that, that he wasn't going to question any further and will just think about... I'm not sure about what, but I know it has something to do with the fact that I live on North Field. I'm surprised he didn't see me when I ran past him and Niall the other morning.

"La chica blanca es rica? Your a rich bitch?" Vanessa asks making Louis hit the back of her seat. She scoffs and sticks her tongue out at him.

"Vanessa!" Niall growls while she simply rolls her eyes.

"Not technically rich, Jason my Foster dad is a doctor" I say. "Though he did adopt all of us"

"So your Century Foster?" Louis asks.

"Century Maine Foster, my original last name was Maine. Though Cassandra and Jason decided on keeping it and adding Foster" I explain.

"Two last names?"

"No they kept Maine as a middle name" I haven't realized that the car is driving. We're going in a little faster speed then we were going at. For some reason when I look at Niall, he looks desperate. He looks very anxious, worried even if that makes sense.

"That's nice" Louis says nodding with a smile.

Looking back out the window I lean my head on the glass sighing just waiting to get home. Daniel and his friends are fun to hang out with, but they seem like the kind that get in trouble all the time. But sitting in a car with them makes you mink otherwise. Besides the part where Niall was about to race a couple of strangers right then on the road. I hate to admit it but I was really nervous of it happening.

"A stupid name" Vanessa snaps with the back of her head facing me. She really gets to me, I push her back and tell myself that I should just ignore her. But I've really had it her. She's a pain in the ass.

"Can you cut the bullshit, and shut the fuck up for once. I'm done with your crap!" I snap rather loudly that I don't think it was me that said it. After it was said I take a deep breath and watch as she looks at me with a shocked face.

"Oh shit" Louis stifles his laugh and the car pulls over.

"Get out" Niall says to her and now its me thats shocked.

"What?" Vanessa barely makes it out a whisper, but the expression on her face is priceless. She never saw this coming.

"I said get the fuck out, I'm done with your bullshit too" You can see the tears forming in her eyes but you can also see the way she is fighting back to keep them from escaping.

"But-" Niall cuts her off again as she pushes him to the limits.

"Get the fuck out will you?!" Niall shouts once again this time making Vanessa jump in her seat.

After a few moments of silence, Vanessa opens her door slowly not breaking her gaze with Niall. She takes a step out when the car makes a quick movement, the door hitting her on the leg.

"I don't have all day" Niall bites again and this time Vanessa moves quicker to get out of the way. The door shuts at the speed Niall goes and leaves Vanessa stranded at the side of the road. From far away I can see the way she crosses her arms over her chest, upset of the mistake she made.

"Are you crazy? You can't just leave her there" I practically shout leaning over the space between the two seats to have a better look at Niall.

"I think I just did" He drives with one hand and the other he has his fingers playing with one of his lip rings.

"We have to go back there" I demand but what's the use.

"So we can drop you off too?" He turns his head to look at me and surprisingly he is dangerously close to mine which I back up a little. Only an inch closer and our noses would have touched. He looks back and forth between my two eyes and glances at my lips before turning his attention back to the road in front of him.

I decide on leaving it like that, and to not push him further because by now I understand that Niall would actually turn back and drop me off with Vanessa. All I want right now is to get back home. I only sit back in my seat and look at Louis as he sits in his state of relaxing self. He chuckles slightly and shrugs his shoulders. I can't believe that now, even he does nothing. I don't understand these people.

For that rest of five minutes ride back to my street we stay silent. My time in that silence I kept myself thinking about the way that he took only a second to look at me that way. I know that look. I've seen them so many times in movies when the person look at the other when they have the temptation to kiss them... To feel their lips against their own. When they want to know how it is- stop. Century, focus.

The car accelerates into another street. Quickly recognizing it as the one I live on. Niall doesn't bother to look at the number of the houses. He stays in is speeding state until my house comes to sight and drives into the driveway.

"Damn nice house" Louis points out and I smile at the same comment every time I bring someone new to my house.

"Yeah, thanks for the ride" I open the door and grab my one shopping bag when a hand grips onto my elbow. I turn my head and face Louis. "Yeah?" I ask and he smirks letting go of my arm.

"I was thinking maybe we could h-hang out sometime, you know just the two of us" He suggests looking a bit nervous. He must be stuttering because of the fact that Niall is still in this car. I look at his side mirror and am met with his sunglasses. He takes them off and he looks me in the eye, deeply into my own.

"Yeah sure" I say after I have turned to look back at Louis, he smiles at me and I return the favor as I shut the door and walk my way up the stairs. The whole time I feel his eyes on me. Not just Louis' but Niall's too.

When I'm up the stairs and in front of my door I turn around and wave back to Louis just as he is hopping in the passenger seat. He waves back and look at Niall. I can see his body tensing from here. His grip tightens on the steering wheel and before I know it he is driving out of my driveway and out on the street leaving me to think about how in the world, did he know where my house exactly was without checking the numbers of any house and without my indication.
