I also started a detox two days ago; I wasn't supposed to eat but I gave in, the day before yesterday, and yesterday, ARGH. But I started again, and I'm staying strong!

It goes for 10 days though!! flipping crazzzzzay! I can't wait to eat afterwards :D

Anyway, this chapter is really exciting and I basically smiled the whole time I wrote it. After a few more chapters, the good part will start to come :DD

Thank you lovely readers, I hope you enjoy! and a few people have asked if it's going to end soon - the answer is no; I want the story to be as realistic as possible <3

Chapter 22 - @Julia_Golafshan (twitter)

 “Hello, this is Niall?”

I took a deep breath, and prayed I wouldn’t be annoying him.

“Hey Niall, it’s Ivy, I was wondering if I could ask a huge favour?”

“Of course you can! By the way, it’s really good to hear from you.”

It sounded like he was happy that I had called, and I thought that was very sweet of him, after all, I am just boring old me.

“Well, I really don’t want to sound irritating or whiney or anything like that, but would it be possible for me to stay with you guys tonight? It’s a long story, and it will just be for a night, I promise.”

By this time, I had nearly stopped crying, and was nearly at the end of the street, much closer to the park now.

“Ivy, I’m going to be completely honest with you – the boys and I have grown very attached to you, even though we’ve only known each other for a little while. I’m being completely truthful when I say that you can stay with us for as long as you need to.”

I breathed out a relieved sigh, my breath turning to fog in the cold.

“Thank you so, so, so much,” I repeated, probably sounding like a complete idiot but not caring.

“I promise you I won’t cause any trouble, you won’t even know I’m there!”

I heard a laugh on the other end of my phone, and it was so adorable. I just love Niall’s laugh; it’s so contagious that I wanted to laugh, but I didn’t get the joke.

“How come you’re laughing, what’s so funny?”

“You think you will cause trouble? You think we won’t know you’re there?”

I paused, not quite sure what he was trying to say - finally I said a simple "Yes."

He started laughing again, and I was silent, still puzzled with how he was acting- however he soon stopped laughing, and apologized.

“Ivy, I’m sorry that I keep laughing, but the fact that you think you could cause trouble is hilarious. You’re far too sweet for that!”

I started to protest, but he kept talking.

“And ‘we won’t even know you’re there”? Why would you think something like that? Do you think we don’t like having you? Because that’s why we’ve been hanging out with you, like, every day,” he said sarcastically.
