Eccentric (Niall Horan)

Chapter 43

"And the way I feel now, is no choice of mine" When he hears those words he's out the door. He makes sure not to look at me into the eyes when he does so. I know he probably wouldn't have left if he did.

I fall back on the top of the toilet seat. Fighting back the tears, I won't let him do this. I'm craving him more and more the more I think about him. I have these feelings for him that overpower me when I'm around him. I don't function well and I just feel...

I get out of the bathroom more confident than I was before. I give myself a small pep talk before I knock on his door again. He doesnt answer me. The door is locked when I twist it. Knocking again, louder this time there is no answer. I hear feet shuffling inside.

"Niall" I say a little louder hoping no one could hear me from outside.

I leave it for later and decide to just leave it at that. I can't help but want to see him and talk to him again before I leave. It's this anxiety wanting to have him around. He's like the charger to my energy. All the bad things Louis and Daniel have said to me about him May or may not be true, but those are just flaws. He can if he wants to. And I want to be the one to encourage him to.

Not once looking back I know if I do I'd probably stay, so I walk away quickly and head outside to the back. Everyone is sitting down conversing and some watching Harry and Zayn at the grill.

"Did you take a shit or something?" Someone asks myself looking for the source it came from. It was Daniel/Danny.

"No" I smile.

"Took you quite a while" He says as I shake my head. I glance around spotting Vanessa glaring at me. The look she gives me tells me she knows what happened. I'm not fooling her, and honestly I think I got her jealous.

"Nah I just talked with Jason, he asked when I was going to come home" My lies must be getting better because Daniel/Danny believes every single word.

"Uh I don't know whenever you want to go, I can drop you off since I'm your ride"

"Harry drove, and I don't care who drops me off I need someone to drop me off when I need to go home alright?" He nods tipping his beer to take a drink. Suddenly music bursts out from large speakers by where Maggie stands next to a computer. The music was sudden but then it was lowered. I seemed to be the only one who had been startled. Everyone else was calm and just turning their heads to the sound of the music.

"Come on guys, when was the last time you guys danced" Maggie asks with her loud voice. Spanish music plays, foreign to my ears. 

They all look at each other smiling and bringing back memories. Giselle is the first to dance and grabs Harry. Maggie takes Liam sitting next to her and soon everyone is up grinding against each other. It reminds me of the movie dirty dancing. 

Im the only one sitting down on a chair looking at the way the people move. Theres not alot, barely. But I can tell they all are having fun.

"Century wanna dance?" Zayn comes up to me handing me his hand but I shake my head.

"Nah, Im good"

"What? Arent you like a dancer?" I nod. Zayn who I havent talked to much, whose always silent, smiles and grabs my arm. Zayn is shirtless so his skin is very warm no matter the weather. Zayn places his hands on my hips pushing me against him.

"I dont know how to dance to spanish music" I say as he places his leg between mine.

This is incredibley close.

"I didnt either" He says beginning to sway back and forth, his feet making some sort of pattern. "Its alright, just follow me" And I do. I look at the steps he makes with his feet, following them, he tells me to move my hips more.
