Eccentric (Niall Horan)

Chapter 41

My sobs fill the room. Maya hasnt said anything, and Im glad she hasn't. She wanted me to tell her from the beginning. It was emotional from the beginning and its emotional right now. Ethan Underwood still haunts me now. Just the memory of him sends shivers down my spine.

"Im so sorry Century, I never thought..." She stops midsentence. Not continuing to speak her thoughts.

Tears soak my shirt. Ive finished my tissue box, Ive never felt so emotional since what happened with Ethan. But now sitting here, and crying brings me back to the days I had cried myself to sleep. Lying and sneaking around for him, was worth for nothing.

"What happened after that night? Besides the you know" She asks. Wiping my nose, I reach for the garbage can and tossing all the crap I just made.

"He dissapeared, there was like a two weeks of school left. He didnt show up, nor did he show up for graduation. Over the summer I met him again, different, wise. When he spotted me I tried walking away but he caught up to me, he, he apologized for everything" I close my eyes remembering the image of him from the last time I saw him.

"What did you say?" Maya asks. She has no idea of what I was thinking about doing.

"I called him out, was yelling at him. I was so angry with him I wasnt afraid of him. He tried to explain, but I couldnt listen. He said he had gotten into a college, was going to go right after he got his diploma  at the end of that summer" He sounded so different it wasnt even funny.

"Do you speak to him until now?"

"He calls, every now and then. Everytime hoping Id forgive him. But truth is, if he was really sorry about everything why did he do what he did. I will never forgive him for that horrible experience"

"So what about Niall?" Up until now I dont know what to think. 

"I like him, like I'm really into him. And Ive never felt anything like this with anyone. Not even when I was Ethan" I explain.

"Look every guy you go out with, your going to have different feelings for them. And this is one of those times" She has a point. This could all just be silly. But theirs a strong force between. A shock of electricity everytime we touch, we kiss. Theres this flash in his eyes everytime he looks into my own. This may be different, and it probably will be for the next ones but I cant help but want to keep this feeling and fight for it.

"I cant help it" I cover my face. By this point my tears have dried. 

"Do you want him? Does he even want you?" I think about this again. 

"He's always telling me to stay away from him, and some of his friends have even told me that he treats me differently. Like they dont want to me to go to hell because of him, but what confuses me the most is that Niall always shows up at times where it confuses me"

"What do you mean he shows up in confusing times?"

"I dont know how to explain it, but I was talking with Louis and he was about to tell me a secret about Niall when he showed up and told him not too?" I set it as a question because it is.

"Wait he knew what you two were talking about? Is he a mind reader or something?" She chuckles lightly.

"I dont know but that wasnt the first time, he's done it before. Its really strange" I comment touching my lips with the pad of my fingers.

"Dont tell me this is twilight, the two of you might end up being together and your going to have his immortal child" I laugh along with her. She has a sense of humor that even under these circumstances she still makes me smile.
