The Only Reason

Little Things

I was lonely. I couldn't stand not being next to him. Niall has been gone for a few weeks. I had already finished rewatching The Walking Dead. Guess i'll just watch Pretty Little Liars. I zoomed through some episodes, not knowing what was actually happening. I was drowning in my thoughts. I was so concerned about Niall, i didn't even notice Alvin was home. "Alvin!" I yelled at him. "What are you doing here? On the computer! Shouldn't you be at school?" Alvin turned around, sliding his headphones off. "I'm sick," he responded. He let out an obvious fake cough. "Likely story," i rolled my eyes. He went back to the computer. I got my tablet from upstairs. I kept the tv on, even though i wasn't paying any attention at all to it. I waited desperatly for Niall to call, or even video chat. We have been talking every day since he left. I wondered why he wasn't calling. I kept my tablet open, just in case,and continued watching Pretty Little Liars. A few episodes past, when Niall finally called me. "Shit!" I yelled. I realized i looked like crap. I answered it anyways. "Hey," i said covering my face. "Stella Rose! How are you doing?" Niall said perkily. "I was just watching tv.What about you?" I was still covered my face, hoping he wouldn't notice. "Just hangin' with the boys," Niall's dimples were so cute, so deep, you could sleep in them. I decided to go upstairs and change. "Me and Niall are close enough, i can change in front of him, right? He won't mind, will he?" I did it anyways. "Babe, what are you doing?" Niall said, raising his eyebrow. "Jesus, Stella, you can't just take your shirt off without warning," Niall giggled. He put both hands on his head and slightly turned. "Christ give me strength," He said, smiling. "Dammit Stella i miss you," He was blushing, his dimples deep, his smile lit the room. We both laughed. I went back downstairs and got something to eat. We talked for quite awhile. "Stella! Make mea sandwich!" Alvin yelled. "Make your own sandwich!" I yelled back. "But i'm sick!" Alvin let out another fake cough. "Bull crap, Alvin!" I didn't want to say bullshit in front of Alvin, he would've told. I turned back to my tablet. Niall was laughing. "Kids," i said, rolling my eyes. A couple minutes later, Niall got out his guitar. "Stella Rose," Niall said. "Yes?" I asked slightly smiling. Niall strummed his guitar and started singing. "Your hand fits in mine, like it's made just for me..." I started blushing. I uncovered my face and listened. "But bear this in mind, it was ment to be..." I giggled, starting to tear up a bit. He continued singing. "I won't let these Little Things slip, out of my mouth. But if i do, it's you, oh it's you they add up to. I'm in love with you, and all these Little Things..." I started to cry. Happy tears. God i miss him so much. He smiled while he sang. "You'll never love yourself half as much as i love you. And you'll never treat yourself right darling, but i want you to. If i let you know i'm here, for you. Maybe you'll love yourself like i, love you. Ooh." He started to tear up. I was so happy. I pinched myself, making sure it was real. It was. "And i've just let these Little Things slip, out of my mouth..." I wiped my tears and smiled brightly. "Cause it's you, it's you, it's you they add up to..." I looked up at the ceiling, covering my mouth. "And i'm in love with you, and all your Little Things."  He finished. Niall gasped for breath. "Was he really nervous?" I thought. He smiled, his dimples showing. "God, i love you Niall," i said, realizing i said it out loud. Niall gasped silently and smiled. "I love you too, Stella Rose," i blushed. Niall eventually had to go. I smiled the rest of the day.
