Niall's POV

This morning was kind of rushed, everything went so quickly until classes started. They go slow as usual. I had business studies first, I don't know anyone in that class yet but I'm sure I'll make some class friends. If not I can just focus better without them. I had a break the length of a class between business studies and literature, so I went back to my dorm and chilled for about 50 minutes.

Zayn is in my literature class, so I at least had a friend.

I asked Zayn about the girl that he'd been hanging out with the previous day.

"Oh, her names Perrie. She's really pretty and smart, great personality" he replied, I'm assuming he fancies her. "Would you guys mind if I invited her lunch or dinner with us ? Or just to come and hang out ?" He asked.

"Yeah! I wanna meet this dream girl of yours. Plus the girls would love another female addition to the group" I tell him and he smiles.

But other then classes nothing has really happened today. My classes are over and I don't know what to do, so I just go back to the dorm and sit on my bed thinking. I just think about my life right now. Started college, got heaps of great friends plus a girlfriend. Girlfriend. The word repeats in my head, I love thinking of Beth as my girlfriend. That means she's mine. So if a guy hits on her I can step in and say she's taken, but the best part is that she's taken by me. I know it's probably just "young love" as they say that's why it feels so magical, but I don't think it is. I think, I hope it's more, I hope it means that she's the one for me. My one and only. But what is she doesn't feel the same ? What if she's fooling with me ? She's not the type to, but I've only known her for over a week. Wow. It's only been a week, the feelings are coming so fast and maybe I'm rushing her. Maybe she's getting tire because I'm moving to fast.

I decide to leave. I run out of the room. My thoughts go from good to slowly haunting me. So I run out and leave my phone so I can just get some fresh air with nothing bothering me. I walk slower once I get outside. It's only about lunch time although I feel like I was thinking in my room forever.

There are a few people passing by me as I walk and sit on a picnic table. I try not to think about the haunting thought of Beth fooling around with me, but it just slips into my head. She looks at me as if she's never loved anyone ever before, that's the kind of look I want to see everyday and wake up to every morning for the rest of my life I guess. But I can't tell Beth because I don't want to scare her.

It's been a while now. Probably 30,40 minutes. I decide to go back to my room and grab my phone then go for lunch. I see Ash running towards me.

"Niall, mate I found you" he breathes fast and frantically "Beth...she...ah..wants to meet you at the ...*heavy breathing*.. Cafeteria..quick" he tells me.

"Okay, what's wrong ?"'I say as we start walking quickly to the cafeteria "is she hurt ? In trouble ?" I ask.

"No, just she wants to talk to you" he tells me. Is she going to end it? I really hope not.

We finally reach the cafeteria and Ash leaves when we approach the door as he thinks we should be alone. It's getting more and more obvious that she's breaking up with me. It's only been a day of being apart. It can't be but it so easily can. I see Beth and she looks worried. I walk fast over to her and sit.

"What's wrong ? Are you okay ?" I ask her and she looks confused and hurt. What have I done. Was it me making her look worried or hurt ?

"Am I okay ?" She asks me. "Well i was worried about you" she continues "you always answer your phone and you didn't and I was in tro-" I cut her off

"What happened ? Who ? My phone, I le-" she cuts me off this time

"Some random guy. He cornered me and asked for my number and I said no. He kept questioning me and wouldn't let me go, I tried calling you hit you didn't pick up and I texted you saying I was in trouble. I know you would answer me, you would do anything for me Niall" she takes a deep breath. Only my god the one time I leave my phone

"So, I said that I was late and I tried walking away but he pushed me back into the wall hard and tried to get my dorm key for my room number. He kept harassing me" she continues, a tear coming to her left eye. "I know you'd always answer your phone and save me when I'm in trouble and she you didn't answer I started worrying about you" she says

"Oh babe are you okay ? I'm so sorry I was over thinking and needed fresh air, so I left my phone in my room" I say to her, she's so amazing.

"Yeah, I'm fine, as long as your okay" she says a smile starting to creep to her face.

"That's good. But who was this guy ?" I ask her

"I don't know. He just pushed me back into the wall hard again and ran away" she says "I think he was trespassing" she finishes

"I'm so sorry I couldn't help babe" I feel so helpless

"It's okay Niall" she starts

"Are you hurt ?" I ask her as she said she got pushed back into the wall hard.

"Yeah I'm fine" she says "but I'm gonna have a big ass bruise on my butt" she laughs and I laugh along.

"Well, that's not too bad" I say humorously. I wrap my arms around her and kiss her cheek. She feels so good in my arms, I want her to stay there forever. I feel her cheeks widen as I kiss her, she's smiling. I'm so glad that I get to be the one to make her smile.

It might to be to early but I love Beth

I really love her.
