The Only Reason

The Truth

"Hey, Stella, wake up," Isabel said. I stretched and woke up slowly. "Morning," I said softly.

"Any good dreams last night?" Isabel asked. Yes. I had a great dream. It was about Niall. Actually, all my dreams seem to be about Niall. "Yes," i said. "I-it was about Niall," i whispered, hoping she wouldn't hear me.

"Ooh," she raised her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes. "Not that kind of dream, Isabel," i laughed. "Oh c'mon, Stella. You know you'd love it," Isabel smirked. I giggled. "Oh, shut up," we both laughed.

I went home a few hours later. I went straight up to my room. I grabbed my tablet and laid on my rug.

I couldn't stop thinking about Niall, for some reason.

Then my phone buzzed. I jumped. I looked at my phone. i was shocked by who's name had popped up on my phone.

It was Jacob. My ex that had broken up with me aout 3 or 4 months ago.

"Hey Stella. I miss you. I now realize that breaking up with you was the biggest mistake of my life. I want you back. Really bad. Forgive me, please? I love you, Stella and i'll do anything for you to be mine again :(" That's what the text said. I was shocked.

"You broke up with me, Jacob." "I know, and that was extreamly stupid of me." He begged.

"Yeah well you're extreamly stupid." "C'mon babe, give me another chance." I got furious. "Don't ever call me 'babe'." "Fine. I give up. Have a nice life, bitch."

Thank God he's giving up. "I've been called worse." "Huh, like what?" "Your girlfriend."

He never replied after that. I called Isabel to tell her all about it. "Hello?" she answered. "Hey, you'll never guess who texted me." "Oh no, who was it?" "Jacob." "Ugh, what did he want?" "He wanted to get back together." "What?! He broke up with you!" "I know, he's such an idiot."

 I continued the story. We talked on the phone for hours, talking shit about him. Later on in the conversation, i had remembered what happened after we broke up.

I went into deep depression. I started cutting, and even attempted suicide. I'm sure glade i didn't. I looked down at my wrists. My cuts were still there vaguely.

I was a couple weeks clean. I was thinking about cutting again, but then i met Niall, and everything changed, i guess.

Jacob was not worth that blade. He's a douchebag anyways. I can't believe i ever fell for him.

What was my heart thinking? He's not even worth thinking of.

I was still in my pajamas, and i wasn't planning on changing. I went down stairs and turned on the tv.

I turned on one of my favorite shows, The Walking Dead. I know, it's weird. But i don't care, really. It's a good show. My family thinks it's weird i can eat while watching it. I mean, it's not that horrid.

After a couple episodes, my phone buzzed. I dreaded it was Jacob again, but it was Niall.

I was so happy. "Hello love," the text read. "Hey," i replied. "So um, i was wondering if you would uh, like to..." he paused. "Like to... what Niall?" i asked.

"Would you like to go to the uh, movies with me uh tonight?" he asked nervously. "Sure, Niall :)" i responded happily.

I screamed and ran up to my room. I spent hours trying to find the perfect outfit. My phone buzzed again. "I'll pick you up around.. 6?" he asked. "Sounds great!"

I put down my phone and continued searching. I went downstairs to tell my mom.

"Hey mom, could i hang out with a friend tonight?" i asked quiety. "Sure honey. Who with?" "Um, just a friend. His name is Niall," i whispered.

"Oh, it's a he. I'll have to check with your father on that one," she stated. I nodded and walked back upstairs. I continued to search.

After a half an hour of looking, my dad came home. i jumped up and ran downstairs. "Dad!" i yelled.

I ran up and hugged him. "Hey dad, could i hang out with a friend tonight?" i asked softly. "It's a he," my mom added.

"Ah, i don't know, Stella. I'l have to meet him," my dad said sternly. "Okay, he's coming to pick me up at 6," i said walking towards the stairs.

It was 4:00 now. I had 2 hours to get ready.

I finally found a perfect outfit. I wore a casual navy and white dress, my navy blue scarf, cause it was cold, and my navy blue converse. Yes, i i have a bit of an obsession with navy blue. And yes, i wear my coverse with my dress. Don't judge.

Finally, i did my make up and was ready by 5:15.

I decided to watch some more episodes of The Walking Dead. It was 5:45 now.

I was so excited.

I couldn't wait. It wasn't until 6:02 until i heard the door bell.

I went to open it, my dad following me.

I opened the door slightly, so hopefully Niall wouldn't see my dad. Unfortunatly, my dad opened the door more so he could talk.

"Hello, Stella. You look ravishing," Niall said, smiling. "Hello, Niall," i replied, blushing.

"You're 2 minutes late," i said jokingly. We both giggled. My dad was looking at him unsure. "Have my daughter home by 11," my dad said sternly. "Yes sir," Niall replied with a smile. "Shall we?" i asked, half smiling. "We shall," Niall replied. We got in the car and started driving.
