Chapter 20

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Bridget shouts from the other side of the phone.

"wo! simmer down. Didn't tell you what? "

"Turn on your Telly?!"

"Wait. i'll jus...t." I freeze the instant I see the news.

Ground beneath my feet has divided into two. My jaw has dropped all the way to the ground and I'm in shock!

The guy on the TV says,

"Girls Girls! Just in time!

Today, Niall Horan of One Direction Was spotted outside the University of London With a Gal! Yes ,a Girl!

Apparently he was driving and his Girl-Friend was with him.

Ahhh... Unfortunately we couldn't get hold of the couple but Niall seems Happy! See that smile for yourself! "

i'm flustered! I don't understand! What did you do?!

ughh!! what?! when?!

The lighting!

Shit! of course that photographer!

" Hellooo! you there? " Bridget says distracting me from the TV screen.

"Yes. yeah I'm still here" I scratch my head.

ughh I always do that when I'm nervous.

" well? There better be a good reason for you not tellin me about your Lil'l secret. "

" There is no secret Bridge! We are not together! "

" What? You're not? "

" Nooh! Niall was just driving me home cuz it was too late! That is it!"

Shit Niall! Has he seen this? What is he gonna think about me? I'm such an idiot!

" Okay! okay! Calm down. It's just a rumour. It'll go away in just a few days."

" What if it doesn't? what if Niall thinks I'm a desperate girl trying to get attention? How does that make me look ? A desperate, selfish idiot!"

" No! Shut up! Has Niall called you yet or Have you guys talked about it?"

" No. we have NOT. I think he hasn't seen this shit yet. I hope he doesn't or anyone else for that matter." I say pacing back and forth in my room.

"He is Niall, Av. He'd understand. He'd never think that low of you."

"I don't know . Today has been... Exhausting..." Tears prickle in my eyes. " This...This.. "

I sob.

" Av! Don't cry please! Its okay. Its not your fault. You didn't do anything, okay? Don't cry."

"I'm just so overwhelmed with all these emotions right now." I sob again.

"Please Av don't cry. Everything will be alright. Don't think about this. Just have your dinner and go to sleep okay? Please don't cry Av. I feel so bad." Her voice is almost a whisper.

"No. Don't feel bad." I wipe my nose with the back of my wrist. "You're a very good friend. I love you Bridge. "

I smile.

"Awwhh...I love you too girlfriend,Don't cry now, savvy?"

" Ahhah yes."

" Okay. I'll see you tomorrow ?"

" Yeah."

" You okay? "

"Yes. I'm fine Bridget. Night" I assure her.

"Night babe" she hangs up.

What could be worse than this.

Me ,on TV , with Niall who thinks I'm an attention whore!

He hasn't said anything yet.

My subconscious narrows her eyes, looking at me. Staring at me.

Should I call him? Should I tell him what an idiot I am?

It wasn't your fault!

Oh my god! Has Harry seen this?!

My worry turns into panic.

My stomach is growling but I don't want to eat. I just wanna talk to Niall and clear this out.

I look at my phone and it 8:00 pm.

Maybe He thinks of me what I think he thinks of me. or Maybe he hasn't watched it or he doesn't care!

Christ! I'm going to die of this gnawing feeling inside of my stomach!.

I should call him or maybe text to check his mood.

I'm pacing back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.

Butterflies in my gut.

Call him!

I finally make up my mind and give Niall a ring. Its is 8:30 by now. Fingers crossed!

"Hey." His voice is calm

maybe he hasn't seen it.

"Hi" I say more like a question.

"Whats Happening? "

"Umm...Nothing much..."

just ask him! " Niall?"

"Yup"

" Did you see the news?" I say almost whispering.

"No. why?"

" phooo..." I sigh in relief.

" Av? Everything Alright? "

" Yeah. Everything is good." My voice more confident than before.

"Shit!" Niall shouts .

" What?!" I stop pacing and hold my breath. damn!

" I just dropped my chicken drum stick"

" Ohhh" I sigh again.This boy is gonna kill me!. You have your dinner I'll see ya tomorrow. Night Nialler."

"Until tomorrow. Night."

I hang up, smiling in relief.

see? why do you always think of the worst?

I put my phone on the night stand and go into the bathroom. I look at myself in the big mirror above the sink.

Is this me? When did this happen?

How could this happen? Is it real? or is it a dream? If it is a dream I wanna wake up now because its not going in the direction I want it to go in.

I splash water on my face. Once, Twice. Trying to wake up.

No! Its not a dream!

I let out a big sigh and go to bed.

Closing my eyes I pray to god ,

"Please Lord, Let tomorrow be a better day."

"Mom! I'm going!" I say opening the door.

" wait! honey? "

" What?"

"I think its time we buy you a car."

" A car?!" I jump up in excitement.

" Yeah. How long are you gonna keep travelling in bus."

" I kinda like red buses here." I shrug

"Well, then we won't...." I cut her in the midst sentence.

" No! I want a car!"

" Okay then. We'll go to checkout some on Saturday. "

" Cool. And don't worry I'll find a job, soon."

"No. Sweetie you don't have to work."

"I want to. I have lots of time to think mom and I don't wanna think. I wanna get engage in something good. Time consuming to be accurate. "

" As you wish." She hugs me.

Awhhh I love my mom!
