Unforgettable Scars (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 8

I woke up the next morning to an empty living room, except for me and Niall. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and called Gemma. The phone rang a couple of times, and then she answered. “Hello?” “Gemma...Where are you?” I whispered since Niall was still asleep. “I’m outside, with the boys. And- HARRY. STOP HARRASING LIAM. Sorry. Why are you whispering?” Before I could answer, Louis took her phone. “Hey Des! It’s Lou! So, last night was really fun. We should do it again sometime. But without you and Niall being all so lovey dovey. BLEH.” I heard shuffling and Gemma in the background. “LOUIS GIVE ME MY PHONE BACK RIGHT NOW.” “Come outside now!! Got to go, bye Des!!” That was the last thing Louis said before I heard Gemma again. “Sorry. Where were we?” “I’m whispering because Niall’s still asleep.” “No I’m not babe.” Niall said in a husky, morning voice. I started talking normally now. “Juuuusssttt kidding. He’s awake. I’ll be outside in a few.” “Okay.” She hung up and I set my phone next to me. “Did I wake you up? I’m so sorry. Oh my gosh.” “You’re fine Des. I’ve been awake for a while. I just didn’t want to get up and startle you. So, I pretended to be asleep till you woke up.” That was so adorable. I smiled. “Thanks Nialler.” “Come on. Let’s go outside.” I unwrapped myself from Niall’s arms and we walked outside.

“AWWW. Good morning love birds(;” Louis said. “Louis, shut up and leave them alone. Good morning guys.” Liam said. “I’m hungry lads. Can we go to I Hop or something? Pleeeaaasssseee?” Niall bugged the others. “Sure!” Everyone, except for me, said in agreement. “I’ll meet you guys there. I’m going to go home and change and stuff.” “Just come on Des. You look fine.” Gemma said. Niall had to join, of course. “Des, you look perfect. Believe me. Now, let’s go. I’m starvin’!” How could I resist Niall? Simple, I couldn’t.

We pulled up to I Hop in a matter of time. We all piled out of the van and walked up to the restaurant. “Can we have a table for 7 please?” Liam asked the lady at the front. “Sure. Follow me.” We followed the lady around the restaurant and ended up at a big table. “I CALL SITTING BY DESIREE AND HARRY.” Louis yelled. “Okay Lou. Calm down.” I said. “Can I sit by you too?” Niall asked me. “Of course.” I smiled at him. Gemma ended up sitting on one of the edges next to Harry, Harry was beside Louis, Louis also sat beside me, I was sitting with Niall, Liam sat beside Niall, and Zayn sat on the other end next to Liam.

After a few minutes our waiter took our drink and food order. We ate our food and about a hour later, we were leaving. “Thanks for paying Haz. I owe ya one.” Niall told Harry. “No you don’t. We’re brothers. Brothers don’t owe each other.” That was sweet of Harry. The rest of the car ride was spent listening to music, then a song I didn’t know came on. Gemma turned the volume all the way up and Liam started singing while the rest of the boys were dancing like fools. “You’re insecure, don’t know what for. You’re turning heads when you walk through the doo-o-or. Don’t need make up, to cover up. Being the way that you are is enou-ou-ugh.” Liam stopped and Harry started singing. “Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you-ou.” All the boys, and Gemma joined in for the chorus. “Baby you light up my world like nobody else! The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed! But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell, you don’t know, oh oh, you don’t know your beautiful! If only you saw what I could see you’d understand why I want you so desperately. Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe, you don’t know, oh oh, you don’t your beautiful. Oh oh, that’s what makes you beautiful!”

Gemma realized I wasn’t singing and she turned the volume down. “Why aren’t you singing Des?” Gemma asked. “I…I don’t know this song..” Niall, Louis, and Harry did an over-dramatic gasp. “You don’t know our song?!” Zayn asked. “Your song..?” What was going on? “Yeah. We’re a band remember. This was our very first single. We just got back from an American tour 2 weeks ago. Now, we’re in the middle of recording our 2nd album.” Liam explained to me. I had totally forgotten about them being a band. It felt like they were just 5 normal boys. Oops..

“Well, seeing as your boyfriends in this band, I suggest you start listening to them!” Louis said. “Lou, I don’t have a boyfriend..” “Yes you do.” I thought for a minute and then I knew what he was talking about. “Niall’s not my boyfriend!”  “Yet.” Gemma added in from the front seat. I looked at Niall who was sitting beside me and he was turning cherry red and wouldn’t look at anybody, only the floor. “Niall, im so sorry..” “Its not your fault. It’s okay. Really Desiree. Louis, we’re not dating.” “Hmph.” Louis crossed his arms and turned back around. Gemma turned up the radio again and no one spoke for the rest of the ride home.

I got Gemma to take me home after all that mess. “Hey Paul.” I walked in the door saying. “Hey! How was it?” I sat next to him and answered his question. “Really fun. But Louis thinks me and Niall are dating and Gemma thinks were going to soon. It’s really annoying.” “Well, if you two do, just be careful. Niall’s really sensitive. I don’t want either of you to get hurt.” “Alright.. I’m going to go watch some movies. And my phones dead.” “Okay. I’ll tell you when dinners ready.” “Okay!” I yelled walking upstairs to my bedroom.

I plugged my phone in, put in Finding Nemo, and plopped on my bed. Once my phone got charged enough, it turned back on and vibrated. I rolled over and picked it up. ‘1 new message. From; Nialler! :D” Just what I needed.

Nialler: Hey Des. Sorry about earlier in the car. Louis’ such an ass sometimes.

Me: It’s okay Niall. It’s stupid of him to even think that.

Nialler: I know.. But hey! Last night was fun(; Let’s do it again sometime?

Me: Sure.

Nialler: We don’t have to if you don’t want to. Just an idea..

Me: No. I do want to!

Nialler: Okay. Well, I’m going to go eat. I’ll see you tomorrow (:

Me: Tomorrow..? Is there something I don’t know?

Nialler: The boys and I have to go to the studio again. We always go over to Paul’s house before we go to the studio. But this is our last three days though.

Me: Oh, okay. While you eat I’m going to watch finding nemo. See ya tomorrow. Bye Niall. (:

Nialler: I love that movie! Bye Des (: x

After Finding Nemo was over I took a shower and by that time dinner was ready. I ate pretty quickly and rushed back upstairs. I was super tired for some reason was ready to get some sleep.
