Eccentric (Niall Horan)

Chapter 26

My heart is still pounding against my ears and chest by the time Christian and I were on our street. I haven't spoken since I left the store. Better yet since I left the car to go into the store. Something rose inside me when I saw that girl with him. It was so foreign that I wasn't able to tell what it was exactly that I was feeling.

"Yo" Christian voice breaks into my trance and I turn my head to look at him. "Are you okay? You seem a little off" He glances at me as he pulls into the driveway.

"I'm fine" I simply say and grab a few groceries then get out of the car as quickly as possible when he has set it to park and leave the last bag for Christian to carry back in.

I come into the house leaving the door open behind me and walk into the kitchen. Cassandra has her back to me with her phone in her hands. Dropping the bags on the island Cass turns around startled. "You scared me" She says placing her hand above her heart and controls her breathing. "You came in quiet"

"I'm pretty sure I came in as loud as I can" I press my lips in a thin line and scratch my wrist. We're back to this again.

"Are you okay honey you don't look so good? Did you get car sick?" Cass asks me as she grabs the bag in front of me.

"I'm fine I just, I need to go to my room" I say and turn around watching as Chris walks in. He opens his mouth to say something but I'm out of there before he can actually say anything.

To be honest I only left because I needed to sit down or lay down in my room to think about this. My thoughts go crazy every time I see Niall. This what I felt when I saw that girl all over Niall is unknown. I'm actually thinking about this and giving a damn about it. Himself and Daniel/Danny had told me to stay away from him and I will. But I think I'm finding it hard to do so.

I hadn't even realized that I was in my room sitting at the edge of the bed. My hands were on my lap and I'm facing my wall of pictures.

There are so many frames of my memories hanging on my wall. I have barely enough space but I manage to fit them all. They don't look that bad there. It actually suits my room.

My legs find it's way in front of the pictures and my eyes lock on a certain one. Dean, Chris, Cass, and I are in the picture and a few of Deans friends are too. They have sleeve tattoos and dyed hair, Cass even has her arm tightly around one of them.

I thought this whole time she didn't like those kind of people?

My phone rings snapping me out of my thoughts. As I quickly recover myself I sit back down on my bed and grab my phone. Not checking who it is I answer it. "Hello?"

"Hey Century I'm so sorry I couldn't go, I probably should have called ahead of time and told you, but something came up" It's Nick. If he would have called before I probably would have been upset with him, but right now I don't feel anything.

"It's totally fine, I actually forgot that you we're suppose to come for a moment" I'm not lying, I really do think I'm being truly honest with myself.

"That hurts" Nick replies his tone lower.

"I'm sorry when I got back home I knew you were coming but the longer it took for you to come, I forgot about it until now" I say standing back up to look at the pictures on the wall.

"It still hurts my feelings" I'm really getting irritated by him. I don't know why I'm suddenly getting so annoyed by everyone.

"Look Nick I have to go, I'll see you on Monday" I say quickly and wait for him to say goodbye before I hang up.

I take a deep breath and lay back down on my bed. I look up at the ceiling, my leg hitting the wood of my bed. Louis was right I should have probably gone today. And not only was Louis right, Daniel/Danny was too. He said I was going to go to the barbecue not because he was going to force me to, but because something will pull me to.
