Chapter 32-

Two weeks went by since I went to Liam's house with Harry. During that day I hardly spoke to Niall so I had no clue as to how he was feeling about everything. As for me and Harry, I had no idea where he was or what he was up to, we hadn't spoken since that day. There was no need for us to talk, One Direction were on a break for a while so he could do whatever he wanted. We didn't need to talk seeing as it was simple, I resented him and he resented me.

I was at home on Friday evening watching Netflix (as usual) and wondering what to do with myself during the weekend ahead. I hated to admit it, but I suppose you could say my life had become a bit more...amusing ever since Harry came into it.

I sat there on the couch so carried away with my thoughts that I had no idea about what was going on in the movie I was watching. I decided to try and pay attention to the television instead of thinking about what I was going to be doing during another boring weekend.

I put my phone down on the coffee table and laid back on my sofa. After a little while I was finally beginning to get into the movie, as I was watching it I noticed my phone light up causing my eyes to trail away from the tv and over to the table where my phone was resting. I picked it up and noticed it was a text message from Niall.

"Hi Clara. Are you busy tomorrow? If not we can meet up and have a chat about things if you like. -Niall."

"Of course I'd like too meet up tomorrow Niall. What time?"

We arranged to meet up at 1pm and decided to meet at the same coffee shop we went to together the first day we met up.

•••

"Hi Niall." I smiled slightly as I walked into the coffee shop and saw him sitting down at a table in the corner.

"Hi." He gave me a little smile as I walked over and sat opposite him.

"The same place you took me for our first day out together." I smiled as I looked at him but he kept a straight face. Maybe that wasn't the best way to start the conversation.

"Oh god." I said. "Sorry I never meant to-"

"What do you want to drink?" He cut me off.

We ordered our drinks then he sat down again to talk.

"Niall first of all I want to apologise for the way Harry came over at the barbecue and started acting all loved up with me. I know you must have felt really awkward because believe me I felt exactly the same."

"What's up with you and apologising all the time? It's all ya ever do." He changed the subject swiftly.

"Yeah well I feel as though there's nothing more I can do but apologise for everything that's happened."

"You know you don't need to keep apologising Clara. I know your sorry."

I sighed and looked into his baby blue eyes.

"Clara, I know I was angry at ya before but you can't blame me right?"

"I know Niall I don't blame you for being angry, I would be the same if I was in your position."

"I know, but, I do forgive ya now." He smiled.

"You do?"

"Yes I forgive ya. I mean we got along so well Clara, but I suppose if Im going to have to get used to the fact that you and Harry are together. And I'd rather have ya as a mate then an enemy."

"Thank you Niall." I smiled at him as I stood up to hug him and he stood up to hug me back.

"Ya ain't gotta thank me." He sighed before pulling away from the hug. The two of us sat back down to finish our drinks and conversation.

"Thanks for inviting me to your barbecue by the way, I had a really good time."

"Yeah I could tell by the way you were messing around in the pool with all of the other lads!" He chuckled.

"Well I was hoping you'd join us but you were too busy grilling your burgers and sausages!" I laughed and he laughed in return.

"So how comes you never went to LA with Harry then?"

"Wait Harry's in LA?!" I said a little loudly also sounding shocked.

"Well yeah, I thought he would have asked ya to go with him seeing as your his girlfriend and all."

"Nope. I didn't even know he was going to the US." I shrugged my shoulders. "When did he fly out?"

"Three days ago. Why didn't he tell ya?"

"Oh we um...we had a little lovers tiff about a week ago and I haven't spoken to him since." I lied.

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Well ya know where to find me if ya ever wanna hang out or talk about things."

"Thanks Niall. That's really nice of you after all the hell I've put you through."

"Hey! Let's forget about everything that's happened and put the past behind us."

"So you really forgive me?" I smiled weakly.

"Yes." He smiled weakly back.

We finished our drinks and our little chat and I left the coffee shop with a big smile on my face knowing that everything between me and Niall would be fine from now on.

Hopefully anyway...
