It's Up To Fate

Chapter 5.

"What's your plans for tomorrow?" I asked, I just wanted to keep the conversation going.

"I'm going to the party at louis' house, are you coming?" He said and took a sip of his water.

"No." I said. "I'm going on a date with Jace tomorrow." He spit the water back in the cup and said, "What?" I didn't know what made me say this now, I wasn't going to tell him but he asked.

"He asked me to go out with him and I didn't find a reason not to go with him Niall."

"I already told you no Tamy." He raised his voice. So we are back to yelling at each other. We were getting along so well but I had to ruin the good time And talk about jace now.

"And I told you you can't control me Niall."

"Why did you even tell me?" He asked. Why did I tell him? I don't know actually.

"You asked and I thought it would be better if you know so I won't go with him without you knowing it." I tried to calm down, I didn't want to fight in a restaurant, we already got a few stares.

"Well, you're not going with him." He raised his voice again.

"Stop yelling, there are people here. let's go home and talk about it." I looked around us and saw that we have some audience now and I didn't like it.

"No Tamara, we already talked about it and you are not going."

"I can do whatever I want Niall, you can't stop me from going with him."

"I don't know why I agreed to come here anyway. I should've known we'll fight, like always." He said and sat up from his chair then left the restaurant. It's our second time here and he left me again. I would never come here again with him, he seems to leave me every time we come here.

Thank god I got my car back, if we haven't got it, I wouldn't have known how to go back home. I will make sure not to crash it again.

I am mad he left me again, standing alone like an idiot. He have to explain to me why he hates jace that much I didn't want to piss him off but he didn't give me answers, he just yelled and left.

When I entered the house, he was in the living room laying on the couch watching tv, he stared at me for a moment but said nothing, he was still angry I could see.

"I am not going to apologise." He said when I stood infront of him.

"I know you're not going to, because you're an asshole." He didn't say anything else so I went to my room and laid in my bed until I fell asleep. I had fun with him today but I was so stupid and I ruined it. for a second I wish that I didn't bring jace up and the dinner wasn't ruined.

I woke up early today, I didn't sleep much all night anyway. I've been thinking about Jace and Niall, I didn't know what to do but I wanted to live at peace with Niall and that would never happen if we keep fighting like this.

Niall was still sleeping so I took a shower and ate breakfast in silence. I grabbed my bag and closed the front door behind me. I took five minutes only to reach the school, but instead of going to my first class I made my way to the lockers. I spotted Jace immediately and standing next to him was Summer. She smiled her famous fake smile and hugged me, I didn't smile back at her, I didn't feel like it.

"Hey, Jace." I said and Summer rolled her eyes and left us.

"You were rude to her Tamara you know that?" He said and I scowled at him.

"I'm sorry Jace but I can't go with you today." I said. I thought about this last night and I already ruined the dinner with Niall, I didn't want to ruin the small part of him that cares about me. And as I said, I want to live at peace with him, and going out with jace won't help with that.

"And why is that?"

"It's just that something came up." I lied and he didn't say anything so I continued, "we can go out another time."

"Is it because of Niall?"

What the fuck? Why would he assume it's because of Niall?

"No, it's not. Why would it be?"

"I'm just asking." He shrugged. "It's okay if you don't want to go out tonight, but you're still coming to the prom with me?"

"Uhm.. Yeah, sure." I said. "Well, see you later." I left him and headed for my class.

When I checked the time there was only ten minutes left until my first class ended so I was not going to class. Time went by slowly and I couldn't be more relieved to leave school. I saw April on my way to the parking lot, she told me about her date with Josh last night, she was very happy while talking about him.

When I went back home I didn't see Niall anywhere so I just went to my room and changed. An hour later, I was standing in the kitchen searching for anything to eat. When I turned around I saw Niall leaning against the door frame, arms crossed infront of him. "The party doesn't start now, are you going somewhere else before it starts?" I acted like nothing happened last night, I had to cope with his attitude.

"I don't know. Anyway, I wanted to say that I'm sorry for leaving you last night."

I was surprised by him. He never apologies.

"You're surprised I apologized, aren't you?" He smiled and I nodded. "I shouldn't have yelled at you then left you there." I was still standing infront of him mouth opened and wide eyes. I never expected him apologizing.

"It's okay, I guess. We really shouldn't go to that restaurant again." I smiled and he chuckled.

"So you're not angry with me?"

"I am always angry with you so it doesn't matter." He grinned. "I still think you shouldn't go with him."

"It's none of your buissnes. And I already told him I'm not going anyway."

"What?"

"I'm not going out with him." I repeated what I just said to him.

"But why?" He seemed confused.

"You were so mad at me when I said I will go with him."

"So you're telling me that you're not going on that date because I told you not to?" The tables have turned, he was the one who was surprised now.

"Yeah. Well, no, because I thought about it and I just canceled it." I explained to him. I know I canceled the date because of Niall but I was not going to admit it to him.

"Really?" He was surprised. He had to be, I kept telling him he couldn't tell me what to do but now I did what he told me to do.

"Yeah."

"What happened to 'you can't control me Niall'" he mocked my voice and I laughed. "Come here." He said and opened his arms and gestured for me to come.

"What?"

"Come here and don't make it more awkward." He told me. I was amused by his nervousness. I walked towards him and he wrapped his arms around me. I burried my head in his chest and he hugged me tighter. It fel amazing to be in his arms, he only held me like that once since I met him.

"I'm sorry." He said into my hair. "For leaving you alone at that restaurant, and for yelling at you, well, I'm sorry for everything."

"It's okay."

We kept like that for a few minutes, no one talking until I finally spoke, "you haven't held me like that for a long time." I said and he chuckled. "The day that I knew my mother had died, I kept crying, you hugged me then and told me it's going to be alright. That was.. The only time that you.. Really hugged me." A tear skipped my eyes just thinking about this.

"Are you crying?" He said and pushed me by my shoulders to look at me.

"I miss her Niall." I sobbed. He lifted my chin up so I was forced to look in his eyes.

"It's okay Tam. Don't cry, please." He said and hugged me again.
