CHAPTER 32

Alyssa's P.O.V

Two lessons have gone by since lunch ended and it was now the end of the day for us all, which meant I had to go home right?

Alone right?

-

But nope.That wasn't the case.

"Hey wait, Alyssa!" Niall called after me, as I immediately froze in my place, shutting my eyes and instantly regretting what I was about to do now. I turned around to see him right behind me, as I managed to quickly proceed in putting on a fake smile.

"Hey" He greeted me as if this was the first we'd seen each other for months.

"Hi" I greeted back quietly, no louder than a single breath of murmur.

I knew I wasn't suppose to talk to him because I did say to myself I was going to ignore him from today on-wards... and I was doing so well...

Up until now.

"You okay?" he asked me, showing the slightest concern through his eyes as I tried not to look at him whilst speaking.

"Yeah, fine" I bluntly stated, cutting off all eye-contact between us and suddenly fixing my gaze on the bottom of the plain boring concrete ground we were both stood on.

"Really?" He asked me again as if I wasn't being serious or honest enough from the start of that question.

"Yes" I confirmed, even though I knew that was a lie.

An unmistakenly completely-stupid lie.

"Are you sure because y-" He was just about to start before I had suddenly cut him off unexpectedly.

"I'm fine Niall!" I accidentally blurted out in the wrong use of tone as I quickly slapped my hand over my mouth, wanting to take that back but couldn't as I looked back up to see a shocked Niall standing in front of me now, quite taken aback by my sudden change of voice.

"I mean, I'm fine" I re-told him, in a more duller tone before pulling off another fake smile as I began walking off, until I then heard his footsteps pacing behind me.

"Honestly I'm fine Niall, It's just that it's been a really long day for me, so I’m tired" I lied, as he quickly came by my side.

"Alyssa" He called out, using the concerned tone again, as if he didn't believe any of my lies as I sighed in disappointment at my lame excuses.

 I guess I never really was one of those who could get away with a simple common lie like this one.

"I'm sorry Niall." I quickly blurted out quite randomly, not even expecting myself to come out with that in the middle of it, but I guess my emotions were all over the place right now that the only think I could say was sorry, for so many reasons he'll never know why.

"What?" He confusingly asked me as my stare abruptedly shoots up towards his innocent face again, feeling quite ashamed already.

"Never mind Niall." I muttered under my breath before continuing to walk to my house that was just around the corner, where this time, he didn't come after me.

-

He may be the same from the inside, but he won't be for long.

I just know that his heart will change sometime soon.

And I just can't cope with how much pain that will cause for me.

Niall's P.O.V

"What?" I repeated once more, after watching her walk away.

What was she on about?

And why was she saying sorry?

This doesn't make any sense.

First she stops talking to me for three straight days, and then when I finally get to see her and talk to her, she just shuts me out, like there’s this huge wall separating and tearing us both apart.

Why was she acting like this all of a sudden?

Feeling very confused, I decided to not think about it any longer, but focus on getting back home safely before dark as I continued to walk.

As soon as I got home, I quickly made my way to my back yard, dropping my school books onto the sofa along the way out as I proceeded to practice my football skills for now to clear my mind, just for a few hours.

2 hours later...

After two hours of playing football, I jogged my way up to my bedroom, feeling like I needed to get my feelings out into a song, as I pull out my guitar from the corner and begin strumming a few chords.

At first I didn't know what song I wanted to play or sing, but in the end I guess my guitar settled for the new classic song by Justin Bieber called 'As Long As You Love Me'.

Feeling like the song explained my whole feelings towards Alyssa, I began singing the song on my acoustic guitar, hitting all the high and low notes before hearing a light knock on my door, I quickly stopped playing before turning around, just in time to find my mum stood beside the door.

"Dinners ready Niall" she informed me as I gently smiled before nodding and saying 'okay' before watching her leave, as I began strumming a few different chords before hearing my mom's voice come back beside my door again.

"By the way, you have a lovely voice hun, We all haven’t heard you sing  for a very long time up until now... you should consider singing more often from now on" My mom said before I lightly chuckled at her nice motherly comment.

"Thanks mom."

And with that she decided to finally leave to go downstairs.

Thinking about what my mom had just said for a second, I smuggly let that rediculous smile finally plaster itself over my face as an idea suddenly popped into my head.

Wait a minute, why didn't I think of this before?

I blink twice, just to keep my mind awake of the fresh new plan I had just come up with, wasting no more than a second before I started strumming a few different chords, putting bits and pieces together whilst coming up with a soft but catchy tune to the ears until I finally get it.

This is perfect.

I really do hope this will all work out in the end.

Because I for one, think this may be the best brilliant plan I have ever come up with.
