Bring It // EDITING

Chapter Twenty Eight

"Naked?" Sophia gasped. I nodded, holding my head in my hands. "I'm so uncomfortable right now."

We sat in silence for a few minutes, until Sophia spoke back up. "How big was it?"

I gasped, looking at her. "Sophia!"

"Hey, I'm curious." she shrugged, I pushed her shoulder. "Oh my god!" I groaned, falling flat on my back, covering my eyes.

"But what are you going to do about Niall?" she asked softly, setting her hand on my knee. I sighed, shaking my head. "I don't know. What do you think should happen?"

She thought for a while.

"I think he should work on being more compassionate about things."

"I agree-"

"But I think you need to work on your anger problems."

I tensed, leaning up. "I don't have anger issues, Sophia. We've talked about this."

"Denial is a symptom of a problem you have." she said. I glared at her. "I don't have a fucking problem."

She patted my knee. "Delaney, listen to me."

I kept my jaw set, but I loosened upon realisation. "Oh my god, I do have anger issues."

She nodded. "Yeah, I know."

I fiddled my fingers, looking away. "Sorry.."

"It's fine, I just wanted you to realise it. You can keep it under control if you just think before you speak. It's easy."

I sighed. "I should apologise to Niall."

She shook her head. "No. He made the mistake this time. He has to apologise."

"But I blew up on him."

"Let him say sorry."

I looked up at her, her gaze already staring hard into me. I sighed, nodding. "I'm so bipolar."

"Yes you are," she said, "Want to go visit Harry with me?" she asked. I smirked at her. "I won't be the third wheel, will I?"

She chuckled. "No, not this time."

"This time?" I teased. She blushed, grabbing a jacket. "Harry doesn't like to make someone feel left out."

I smiled. "You got a good boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend yet." she said.

"Yet." I winked. She laughed, blushing. "Let's go."

Since Sophia's parents brought her car to her, she drove us down to Harry's work. We arrived a few minutes later, walking inside.

"Hey Harry." Sophia called. Harry poked his head out, grinning. "Hi Soph." he jogged over, hugging her tightly, then pecking her cheek. She blushed, hugging him back just as tight.

"Hey Laney, how are you?" he asked me. I shrugged. "It's pretty good, how are you?"

"Fantastic." he said, glancing at Sophia, who was looking through some records. I walked over to a couch, plopping down. I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket, and when I pulled it out, Niall's name flashed, along with a picture he took of him at a gas station, putting fuel in his car.

I looked down at it, unsure of what I wanted to do.

"Answer it." Sophia said. I looked up at her, seeing her hand gripping Harry's. "He misses you."

I bit my lip, nodding. I hit the answer button, slowly setting it to my ear.

"Hello?" I answered softly.
